When Idra says he plays more than just the boring straight up style, he probably doesn't mean he often does BBS or proxy facts. It's just not so obvious when a Terran cuts SCVs and goes for an all-in, since it sometimes looks like bad macro. After all, style isn't just what build you open with, or whether you get nukes or lockdown.
No I'm never serious.

LOL omfg that octoberzerg ss is classic! I must see the rep now!

On another note a very good interview and its good to see him talk in a more comprehensive way instead of smaller comments in his games.

You famously ended the game with the line "you won without doing a single thing" which has quickly spread as an internal TL.net meme. The same thing happened with the phrase "a useful talent toi have." Are you planning your next coined phrase carefully?

I think I might help "u gotta skate" on its rise to greatness. But really it doesn't matter much what I say, just about any comment I make seems to catch on.


Maybe you should work on using 'gg' more. Crazy, I know.

he's trolling

I didn't do anything of the sort.
This was a good interview and I was impressed by it so I mentioned it within a larger context. After that I responded to a part of the interview and meant what I said. Also you suck.

Am I the only one interested how his actual progress is going in CJ house? All we got is that he has respect and newblings comes and asks for help etc. I want statistics and actual bragging! I want to hear Idra say he stomped Savior and owned Iris with only ghosts etc. Give us some information Dirty Harry! I demand it !

Great interview as mentioned before.

Well, when the skilless newbie wins without doing a single thing, you need to learn to embrace the anger - it's a useful talent toi have.

And you gotta skate.

I always thought that the Oct in Octzerg stood for octopus, not October. Still, quite an epic picture. And I guess the interview was good too.

You missed the point. He meant that Idra was trolling.

Try not to be so touchy. Life is much more enjoyable if you relax a bit.

He does very obvious shit as well. Against White-Ra in that Nostalgia thingy he went for Deep 6. :D

In my opinion, 50% of all IdrA BM is due to the fact he doesn't give a shit, and 50% is just because he's roleplaying a character. He doesn't really mean what he says - he just wants to make people laugh and make himself look interesting in the eyes of the community.

He kinda impersonated the "villain". He knows he's playing Starcraft at a different level compared to foreigners, and went along with it.

That's not completly bad. I keep thinking that if I were a progamer I would pull insane cerimonies and to a point, "roleplay a character" too.

Although I find his playstyle kinda boring, I want to see him playing more and more - particulary if he's losing - so we can get some top notch e-sports drama and epic BM'ing.

I wish more people could get to meet Greg personally. He's a strangely humble person when you meet him and then he's the villain online. It's understandable losing is hard on me and I'm just a D+ newbie. I can only imagine being A+ and losing a game to anyone especially if they cheat and use invincible units.

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?
