idra calls huk trash in every MLG dallas interview after wrinning, calls players walkovers before playing against them. this guy has pretty much dished out BM in every possible combination of scenarios of win/lose pre-game/post-game. he is nothing special. completely overrated and it's showing. yeah you can always play the "of if it weren't for his mental state he would be really good". i'm far more impressed with foreign zergs like sen and stephano. btw MC is not bm.

it's not like idra can change his personality, he just has to work with what he has. we should all try and be more understanding of his bad mentality. plus he got a girlfriend so that means he must be capable of being sociable if he really wanted to.

It's interesting how the only ones defending Idra are Americans. Must be because only the americans are objective in regards to Idra..

The fact that it's standard doesn't make it any less cheesy. It just makes it something that actually shouldn't be in the game. That you can outright do enough damage to kill your opponent, without even going all in and falling behind if it fails, is simply ridiculous.
And I'm not even an Idra fan...

I wonder why didnt idra cut the reinforcements. IMO it was the main reason why he did lose the last game.

LOL every time he plays a foreigner he says he will 2-0, 3-0 them and its easy, same on lots of GSL matches.
You just proved my point.

People saying his "mentality" is the only weakness to his playing style are vastly overestimating an overhyped Brood War B teamer who never saw the light of day. This. He's a good player of course, but he's no better than an average Code S Korean, even when his mentality isn't pulling him down. And lately he seems to be getting worse, presumably due to suboptimal practice conditions and being lazy/arrogant. So many Koreans were better BW players too, I don't know why people even bring up his BW history :/ And no one claims he's better than the average Code S Korean--and he is on their level. Hmm, I don't know about that. I think many people act as if he is truly a top tier player, a MC, Nestea, MVP, potential GSL winner. Not just some dude whose only realistic aim is to stay in Code S, which is what Idra would be.
Relative to other foreigners, that's amazing. You could count on one hand the number of non-Korean players who could seriously compete in Code S.
Well I guess now that everyone is finally accepting that Koreans > Foreigners, Idra can be just like in BW, "good for a foreigner". As I said, he's a good player. He's one of the best foreigners. But he's not a top player, and he'll never consistently beat someone like MC. I'm pretty sure Idra nailed Code S repeatedly during his Korean stay. And no, he won't consistantly beat MC unless the EG team house does a fucking amazing job or he returns to Korea, he needs to understand that.
He was only in one Code S before leaving. He was never anywhere near actually winning one. It's not a huge sample size, but I see no reason to think he would be any better than another guy trying to hang on to Code S.
Agree on the second part. I don't get why he left. There's no more easy money outside Korea, all the Koreans are entering the tournaments now!

The difference is that MC actually does 2-0 and 3-0 them. He might say it was an easy win if it was, but he isn't BM.

Please get your balance bullshit out of the LR thread.
If you completely mess up your response to most early pressures, you'll lose the game. If you both play perfectly, it comes out almost even, and if the bunker rusher fucks up while pulling too many SCV's he is way behind.
