That's not really relevant, Idra uses twitter to announce his stream, give smilies to his GF and insult TotalBiscuit. Of course he isn't going to have a large twitter following.

This is actually a really easy argument to settle. Idra- 24,868 followers on twitter. Day9 - 52,900 followers on twitter. Not even close.

Ancedotal evidence does not dispute a trend, there were a lot of other things he said in that interview, not to mention a lot of other interviews overall.
Also, my original point was that Idra is a celebrity, and it seems like it's true, a lot of pepole really love him and really hate him, I don't deny that i'm a big fan of idra (won't call myself blind fanboy though, I was really disappointed about him after last MLG), but I still think he is one of the best foreigners in the world.
Now, I won't risk derailing the thread further, so let's accept the turth as it is - Idra is the most famous SC2 persona, wether by being loved or hated, the simple fact that he has more haters than a lot of progamers has fans means something about how famous he is.
Day[9], Tastosis and MC are also really famous, notice that MC has some haters as well.
Let's just agree that I think he's a great player and a funny guy, you think he's a whiner and BM
Have a good night!

Blind fanboy detected. Idra's balance whines are not 'logical and based on facts.' He's the one who suggested Infestors be able to cast fungal growth while burrowed.

The reason doesn't matter, Idra is the biggest SC2 celebrity, and that's it.
For some reason? He's a beastly player, he was the first "SC2 with an actual attitude", he is really funny if you read his interviews, and his "whines" are always logical and based on facts.
"Stars in the positive sense" what the hell is that? And why, of all pepole, is MC, a guy who acts beyond arrogant (even though it's just for show) is a star in the positive sense?
It seems like you are an Idra hater (also note - Idra has the most haters out of any player, that's also a sign of a celebrity), and can't seem to fathom why a lot of pepole like the guy.
Anyway, wether you like him or hate him, Idra is the most famous and well known SC2 persona, his streams can get more live viewers than a D9D, etc etc.
