He holds his own against estro's B-team we know, since he had to beat half of them during an in-house tournament to get his license. Once he got a license, CJ poached him because they thought he had potential from his games vs Stork and didn't have to worry about him getting a license. I really hope Idra has gotten better after 1 year of training. It would be awesome if he made A-team benchwarmer this year.

There are A-team progamers and B-team progamers.
We know that Idra is B-team progamer quality. He plays with B-team progamers all day, and, we can assume, holds his own.

Woo, I guess every top foreigner is pro-gamer level then. They can, and have, all beat B-team members.
Pro-gaming license means nothing. Each team can gift them to anyone. If KTF gave me a pro-gamer license (because coach loves me), am I pro-gamer level or do I just have a worthless license? Think a little.
Good luck convincing KTF to give you a license. On February 18 2009 17:16 Shikyo wrote:
No? Progamer level means that he can take games off B-level progamers. Nobody mentioned a-class or anything like that, ever. Progamer-level means that he can take games off people with progamer licenses. Many progamers don't play televised games, but they still are progamers and, yes, progamer level.

You're being evasive about the question. There's no reason to get technical about it. When people say pro-gamer level they mean he's able to compete with A team pro-gamers. That he's as good as the players on televised games. Being on a pro team doesn't make you have pro-gamer level skills. There are a lot of practice partners and B team members on every pro team. True Idra is a licensed pro-gamer, but that doesn't mean much, not even factoring in his license was gifted to him and not from passing Courage.

He's a progamer, hence his TvZ is progamer level. That's like trying to defute the statement "Idra plays as well as Idra.". It just defines itself.

Where are you people getting this "pro-gamer level TvZ" from? Has there been decent games of Idra released lately or is this just based on that one comment by Artosis? Everything besides Artosis's comment points to Idra being less than pro-gamer level at TvZ (to put it nicely), and Artosis might be a little bias considering he's Idra's friend and clanmate and his website has a stake in seeing Idra do well in Korea.

Ah, now you've got me all excited to see how good his TvZ might be. Would be really awesome to see him try to snipe Jaedong or something during one of the next proleague rounds.
Someday!
