LOL AT THE PEOPLE CRYING BECAUSE OF IDRA BM'ING.

Seriously, be happy you guys get to watch the TSL, and stop bitching about Idra. No one cares.

ummmm wrong, without Idra's idiocy this wouldn't be interesting at all to me

What the fuck? The last thing we need is bland, stereotypical korean interviews (-_-). Just enjoy idra's funny comments. At least he injects humor into his interviews

I am only saying that he is immature. He's not "putting on a show" or just trolling, he is flat out immature and unsportsmanlike. It's obvious to anyone watching that he isn't trying to entertain, he just can't control his temper. There's nothing wrong with trash talk or hype or personality, but I have never so much as seen IdrA be respectful to a single opponent.

I don't deny the he has gotten better in Korea, It's just sad that the lone representative of foreign starcraft can't even say "GG".

This. Idra is a very good player. I respect him for that. However, I really, really, really wish he'd get his act together in this regard.

I mean, it's not like the only alternative to being a jerk is giving flat, Korean "I practiced this build a lot, and it worked so I'm happy. I hope to show good performances in upcoming games. Thanks to (Z)

n.die.SoO for helping me practice." One can show personality and be entertaining in other ways than being a poor sport and badmouthing anyone who beats you. If you don't believe me, just look at Stork, or even Nony.

Because the Idra BM thing is just really, really getting old. It was funny and kind of cute at first, but now that Idra is the unquestioned best foreigner in the world and thus the most visible figure in foreign Starcraft...well, now it's just embarrassing.

I really do wish all the best to Idra, though, and I'd love to be able to give my full, 100% support to him as he plows his awesome Nerdish way through professional Starcraft. But until he can grow up a bit and stop this childish nonsense, I'm not going to be able to do that.

Just read the interview, Idra showed respect for Nony which was great, in fact I didn't sense any BM in the interview. Props to Idra for that unless I am missed something that everyone is getting angry about.

Don't you think Idra would win more if he mixed up his play a little? I mean, 1 fac cc every time?

Haha Idra there is one thing that I enjoy more than seeing you play and kick ass, and that is seeing you give an interview. ^_^' Of course reading the obligatory ridiculous hate posts of people that feel the need to vent their hate every time the name Idra pops up is also amusing.
Also gratz to Nony for putting up a good fight considering his practice time and being a good sport in general, the bm in jest was very enjoyable.

I enjoy seeing how Idra flamers spend paragraphs justifying their hatred towards him as if think they are contributing to this interview discussion or that sensible people actually care.

I feel like there are some "unfair" things in pvt and when I use them I think of them as "abusive" things. If your goal is to win games you are always trying to abuse the advantage you feel your race has over theirs. I wouldn't call it bm, but rather indifference in articulating the same concept in a way that will appease more people. You are not going to please everyone no matter what you do, so it's not a big deal to begin with.

Idra was never BM towards Nony in this interview, he showed his hatred towards 13 nexus but that's nothing new. I don't know why all the hate comments about Idra are in this particular thread.

Come on guys, without personality Combat Ex - Chill would have been just another series.

It's good for the game.

nope…you've got to realize, his winrate against foreigners with this build is probably around 90%.

I don't get all the nerdrage about idra lolol. Why don't everyone just chill and just sit back and enjoy the games he gives us with some popcorn and a drink to go? Simplifies things so much.
