I've actually watched some of his streams where he scrims. I don't think I've actually heard him rage, which is...a bit weird. I'm sure his opponents would get an eyeful if there was actually all chat, though. | ||

So now that IdrA started playing heroes, formed a very good team which is one of the best right now, and Blizzard invited EG to a showmatch in Blizzcon, and IdrA appear much more calmer, it weas obvious they were going to look for him. Probably they told the sponsors the same thing they are saying righ now to us: "he is much calmer, he likes the game and didn't like sc2" which all of that appears to be true, so they probably said "lets try going to BlizzCon and see how it goes, if it goes good maybe we will have a permanennt heroes team, if it goes bad/no one watch its/IdrA rages, we won't have a heroes team/won't have IdrA in it". So i would wait to see how it goes after Blizzcon. | ||

But now that he's moved on to another eSport he is back on the roster? I dunno. I don't really mind I just think it is kinda wishy washy from the EG management. Do you not want him representing you and your team like you said when you cut him abruptly? They probably never wanted to let go of such a valuable asset. They just needed (a lot of) right conditions: [ X ] Long period of separation [ X ] Idra's continued popularity (core fans and other viewers that follow him) [ X ] New partnership opportunity (rise of Heroes of the Storm + Idra's rise as a top beta player) [ X ] Idra+ (toned down just enough to meet EG and sponsors' threshold) On November 02 2014 01:17 Darkhorse wrote: Oh well congrats to all of them and best of luck! I imagine we won't have similar Idra behavior these days. Same. The sharp tongue without the condemnation. | ||

I'm sure his opponents would get an eyeful if there was actually all chat, though. I was lucky enough to play a game with him and some mutual friends. When he's with friends and even a newbie like me; he was and always will be a pretty likable guy and pretty much a straight arrow. I would ask some pretty basic things about the game and they (him and his friends) would explain it and even walk me through how to level my hero properly, etc. It helps that there's no all chat, but the game is also much different in terms of atmosphere and approach. | ||

Because he is going to bring in tens of thousands of viewers who don't give a damn about HOTS but want to see their favorite personality on stream again. I bet this project wouldn't have even happened without him. | ||

You don't realize that you're just fueling his value as much as the other guys right? You're creating discussion, discussion equals exposure, exposure equals money. Bitch and moan all you want, IdrA is a personality that brings in money in one way or another. It's not about T-Shirts, being someone people talk about is incredibly valuable. Some people base entire careers on top of that, and IdrA has the skill to certainly mix it up a bit. | ||
