He is probably not really confident he can place high. The last couple of tournaments he didn't play really high as well. He is going to Korea soon. I guess he just wants to focus on going to Korea instead of being beaten by Koreans in a lot of tournaments. | ||

And if you think Idra is afraid of losing, wtf? Did you miss those 3 years where he was in korea, playing a game he had almost zero chance at all in? Lol | ||

Well if he's chosing to forfeit rather than lose he might aswell stay in the USA than go to korea. Professional players ducking their contractual obligations to their team/sponsors because they don't wanna lose in a Big LAN event seems.. pretty far fetched as theories go. | ||

Did you miss those 3 years where he was in korea, playing a game he had almost zero chance at all in? Lol At that time the foreign community wasn't as big. Not as many people followed Idra. It was expected he lost a lot. SC2 is different. He is at a bigger team. Has to represent a lot of sponsors. etc. BW is not SC2. Practicing in house is not the same as playing in a tournament that is sponsored by Intel which is also the main sponsor of EG. Also Puma and HuK are already at the tournament. So the sponsors already get a lot of attention. | ||
