EPTAs a fan I would rather him rest now and play 100% tomorrow when the games TRULY matter rather than play exhausted now and also be exhausted tomorrow and have to play.

Koreans didn't go from america to korea, then back to america in one week with two competitions. Idra could have cumulative jet lag, rather then just one jet lag. | ||

If he was a real man he would atleast play the games and try show intressenting games for the community / fans. This is just bullshit. | ||

Jetlag or not, I've had to deal with it myself with work, you don't just go "Sry, im tired", especially when there are so many people who are there to watch you Ô_Ô | ||

He loses nothing by not playing the groups, they're pretty much meaningless. If he doesn't want to play them who the fuck cares. And yes, I seem to remember an MLG where Idra 2-0ed MC in the first game of the tourney and MC blamed jet lag. | ||

Every time he looses forums explode and compilation videos are made. Every time he wins the same thing happens. Being the "Bad Guy" of SC2 has actually turned out really, really well for him, even if it's not something he intended to do. | ||

Seriously, it's a hard choice. Applause to Idra for taking an arguably harder option which gives him no excuses. How many pros in his place would have the confidence to skip group play knowing that, as much as everyone downplays it, seeds in this tournament are a pretty huge deal. If you could play Alive or Boxer, who do you think most would choose? How would MC or Ret? Being the 4th seed is kinda a big deal, as hard as the tournament will be for all. | ||
