Meh about half their games versus eachother has been ridiculous all ins, that does neither of them justice. IdrA has probably played his very least entertaining games against MC in his entire SC2 career. Not just about IdrA losing most of them either. | ||

They're both very popular players, yes. In the US scene I'm fairly certain IdrA is uncontested in terms of notoriety (just look at the number of posts in this fanclub!) but in terms of popularity I don't know about that. I don't know if notoriety translates directly to popularity. People will pay attention to IdrA but that doesn't necessarily make him popular. In terms of popularity in the foreigner scene I'd cite characters like ThorZaIN, NaNiwa, Destiny, etc. (popular for various reasons). In the Korean scene MC is popular. But I'd say he's also notorious. His popularity (and I could be wrong, I'm not the most informed person on this) is rivaled by people like MVP, NesTea, MMA, Bomber, and of course old legends like BoxeR and NaDa. | ||

However, I, similarly to you, am not very informed about the korean scene and how koreans view players. But i think Boss Toss is the most popular korean in the foreign scene. | ||

He peaks at around 5-6k viewers on a good day and is on tape admitting that this is mostly due to his personality, not his gameplay. He still has 4k viewers when playing random custom games. IdrAs stream on the other hand peaks at 10k+ on good days without him even saying a word. When he commentated, he peaked at 15k+ The DHS11 MC vs IdrA game peaked at nearly 80k while the final struggled to reach the average 60k. He draws in viewers en masse for whatever he does. He is popular by definition. | ||

Thats because 90% of community is retarded and would rather watch Destiny flame people and be a racist and a douchebag than actually watch some player who is actually 10 times better than him play. Even Idra said so himself in lots of interviews. User was warned for this post | ||

He is popular by definition. Idra game peaked 80k because it was against MC, everybody wanted to see that, especially after MLG, and second, the finals ''struggled'' the same 80k (not 60)on a WORK day, If it was on a weekend it would easily get +100k. Nonetheless, you kind missed DivinO point, he said that idra is notorious(and he is), but hes not popular at all, he have a huge fan base, but most people just think of him as a bad mannered jerk, most people tha watch his games expect him to lose, thats not being popular, its being notorious! One could even say infamous. | ||

Your opinion =/= opinion of most people EDIT: I think there was a poll about wether you like or hate idra and haters lost clearly. Some random polls aren't real evidence of anything, but i'd dare to say idra is the most popular player from the US EDIT2: you will need some proof for your claim that like 15k people watch Idras commentated games just to watch him loose ^^ | ||

I watched it and im a zerg hater, just because i like his brutal honesty and the way he talks. Too bad he plays a race for people with no self respect | ||

Too bad he plays a race for people with no self respect I think in the western community IdrA either has: A) The largest percentile of fans or B) A greater number has fans than haters C) Both __ A is the obvious selection, almost undoubtedly true, and B, well it can be argued that the man with the largest cheers at any event sports a high fan/hater ratio ^^ | ||

On a side note, when i said that i had tournament games in mind(like the idra vs mc match) i'd say that at the very least a good 40k people were thrilled that idra got knocked out. Idra stream is an endless source of information, even for the ''team hate idra'', its always helpfull to see a strong zerg player. (again, not saying that there are 15k haters on his stream) | ||

Well done. | ||
