Read a few questions and got too disgusted with his arrogance. It's not funny and certainly not befitting on a prepubescent-looking bitter kid who clearly got teased a bit too much in real-life. Hope you lose, and keep failing in Korea.

i was once in your shoes.
but with thorough reasoning, i am glad i am out.
now rooting for idra and for his BM to pull him higher and higher
he has passed the threshold of being renown as a BM foreigner
he has passed mistrzzz (the only recollection of a true BM foreigner I can recall)
and is A+. you gonna go to a student who got a A+ on a physics exam and say those bad words as if he did not deserve it? maybe your reasoning may be right, maybe they are wrong. regardless, you should respect the game he now brings to the table because if he's the top foreigner, i would shut the (banned) up.

Yeah thats strange why does a wimp hasn`t got a big mouth in RL? maybe he likes to keep his teeth in their place?


or maybe its because hes joking on the internet?
comon man just relax and enjoy life a little more hahahah

Or maybe you read the interview again?
"As for my personality, I get angry when I lose, and those comments are just frustration"
He stated himself that he does it out of disapointment because Idra NEVER lost a game to someone who was just better then him its always some race,unit or unicorn that jumps infront of his screen.

I don`t really get the connection between flaming someone I dont like and not enjoying life you can chill Iive near the boarder to the netherlands so I maybe relax way too much.

KAY, im step in here cause thats been said a lot [by touchy europeans]. Idra cant help if he gets angry over losing a game, its a flash moment response. Hes completely chill with the people afterwards, however. He doesn't hold grudges, he doesn't wake up in sweats or tear out his hair. Europeans jumping to attack Idra after a joke or screaming "were not touchy!! we dont need to relax!!!" isnt a flash moment response, its not a response you largely cant help, and you don't come to a softer conclusion after the moment has past. Europeans are too touchy, and ya do need to relax more.

If you are going to spit out mindless hate then at least you know, spill out mindless hate that is actually true?
Speaking of threats, I have to ask this one now - what happened with koll at WCG, and what are your thoughts on that series?

He played better than me that match and deserved to win, but I definitely hope we'll play again in TSL or some other tournament soon.

he's not acting like a prick. he's BEING one. and he has every right to because he fully backs up his reason to be and his motives; what would idra be NOW without his BM past? I honestly can't believe I'd see the day that I defended him.. but seriously, take his advice and relax a bit. yes, it's a computer game. yes, the only thing he can achieve is anything that comes close to boxer.. but god damn, this is a game and it needs some E N T E R T A I N M E N T just as Kobe Bryant will shit on every fan or basketball player that does not like him, he makes it more interesting and has every right to.

Maybe I don't fully agree on the whole Kobe Bryant part, but Idra has changed. For the better. But still the same guy, just with evidence. :D kthxbye

my conclusion: relax a bit; sometimes you just gotta skate, k?

Nowadays I've really gotten to like his humor and I believe that he's not entirely serious most of the time. Also, it's he's actually pretty active with the community and clearly cares or at least follows what his fans and other people think about him. It used to be like he was kind of bad before and hence the trashtalking felt out of place but now he actually backs it up and it's a lot more entertaining than if he like never talked about anything or made those funny comments and just said GG every game and was bland and boring.

This is actually a really nice interview.

Sorry, I forgot you can't be entertaining without making yourself look like a complete asshole while being rude and disrespectful to other people, rofl? Is this a joke post? If you are that much of an indoor kid that you can't relate what I'm saying, note BeSt in the MSL group selection. Self-deprecation is far funnier and more entertaining than, whatever it is Idra is supposedly doing to be *entertaining* (yeah right). And why are you comparing Idra, a kid who's lived in Korea for the last 2 years playing computer games and done nothing of note within the actual Korean scene, with Kobe Bryant? How does Idra have any right to talk shit exactly? Are people actually fucking seriously surprised that Idra is doing well in the foreigner scene after living in the eSTRO/CJ houses for however long, competing against people who have real lives outside StarCraft?

As for what would Idra be without his BM past? I don't know, a respected player who non-fanboy foreigners might actually want to see succeed in Korea, instead of feeling embarrassed for the entire non-Korean community perhaps.
