I'm doing him a favor by suggesting it; if he listens, maybe he won't be mowing my lawn after all. your argument just said he both should, and should not retire, since if you think theres no possibility of starting anew, then clearly he shouldnt retire. that having been said, your numbers seem way off, admittedly my understanding is of the australian education system, where you would be getting your doctorate while working, after 5 or 6 years from first beginning your undergrad (there is a masters program in the middle of that) people start qualificiations like that in their mid to late twenties all the time, its really not unheard of.
It's always possible to start anew, but not always convenient. If he waits many years to retire, say 7 years, then attending college(4 years) and/or graduate school(4-6 years) will be very inconvenient, both psychologically and economically. Perhaps if he doesn't retire within 8 years, he shouldn't retire at all and continue playing video games fruitlessly. His life could be summarized as that of a hamster running on a tread meal for a spectator's enjoyment. The more he runs, the more food we give him, and his routine of waking up and running all day for food repeats itself every day of every month of every year until he dies. Is this the life you want Idra to live? Rest assured, if he does have a late retirement, I will be willing to hire him.

technically you could describe most peoples lives that way, but when you think about it seriously, it seems highly probably that IdrA will either suck it up and start playing well again, or hell retire when he gets sick of it, a lot sooner than 7 years from now, if i were to wager a time, id probably give it three years considering his personality.

This is so bad. I feel bad for Idra. May this be his sunset?
|
I'm happy for Morrow, he is a really underated and creative player. I'm still a bit sad that he switched to terran, but it was about time that he got a reward for his training in Korea.
Really looking forward to see him play more/

If any athlete would retire as soon as he hit a rough patch we wouldn't have many athletes in the world. I see no reason why Idra would retire before at least HotS is out we see which direction the game is going.

He's still zerg in ZvT and ZvP, and I'm actually glad he plays terran vs zerg, since he does so much creative play. There isn't really much creativity to be done in ZvZ.

ThorZaiN sucking really bad? Did I miss smth.? He won DH, MSI-Cup and E-sport SM Qualifier the last month and is a major contender for being top-3-foreigner.
About Idra: the problem is, that he is 4th in his group because of a walkover and Cruncher. I doubt, he can hold that place, although he should beat Catz and maybe SeleCT, I do not see see him win against Ret, ThorZaiN or Lowely. Retirering might be the wrong choice though, an Idra in perfect shape is a threat to everyone, but someone really needs him to get there.
Ya your just being bias. Don't get me wrong I liek Thorzain he isn't better than Idra. I'll repeat again THORZAIN 1-3 with a -1 in total points. Idra 2-1 +1 total points.
ThorZaIN's obviously pouring in the results lately and is a top 3 foreigner for sure, I guess because he sits 1-3 in his NASL group he sucks, according to that poster, which is obviously not the case.
Hey you nailed it. Don't care about most tounrys. I only care about GSL, MLG, and NASL You have your opinion I have mine. Sorry, but that is bullshit (Not your opinion, that Idra is better than ThorZaiN. Although it is most likely wrong, it is an opinion. But saying, tournaments, you don´t watch, wouldn´t madder is ignorant and does´nt make much sence). Just because you don´t care about tournys, that does not make them irrelevant. I could also say "I just care about my Playhem daily´s. Revival has won 23 of them and is the best player in the world". The Dreamhack ThorZaiN just won, is bigger than everything Idra achieved in his career, besides maybe GSL and that was 2010. Even if you just look at NASL, ThorZaiN lost against the top three of his division, getting a map from everyone and beating alicia, who defeated Idra 2-0, 2-0 himself. Idra got a walkover and a win against Cruncher, who is most likely the worst player in this group.
GSL and MLG are the top dogs. Dreamhack is a distant 3rd.

IdrA is a joke nowadays, really living from his merchandise and overprized coaching lessons nowadays...

I meant Naniwa vs IdrA, you don't need to be rude.

Is that a showmatch that will happen? Nani will roflstomp Idra at least as impressively as Morrow did.
It is really sad to see a top NA player fall so far, I just don't feel like I can count on Idra to win anything anymore.

I am merely giving out an objective answer as to who I think will win. You are accusing me of being a fanboy with no support. I am stating facts about idra. Perfect mechanics. Perfect decision making on a good day. What has morrow won? Idra has an IEM and an MLG. Based on that, idra will 4-0. No fanboy, just objective perspective. You kids are the ones making me out as a fanboy. I am just an ESPORTS fan looking for good games to watch while saying on a public forum who I think will win. Idra has proven that he can win championships. Morrow has not.
