He really just doesn't want to win. Wonder why :o

He has obviously given up. It is fairly clear that he does not have what it takes to be on top, even of the NA scene. He was never going to get out of the group, everyone knows that, but going out this way means he will get attention, people will keeping talking about him and he will get stream viewers. This means he can maintain some income from his stream, and his notoriety is probably the only reason EG still gives him a salary (I assume they do). It seems like he is just milking his image for all it's worth before moving on.

Idra working hard for his sponsors (seriously, I think this hypes him up and they'll like that)

Until he goes out of WCS alltogether and doesn't get any publicity.

Before I would just say "that's just his SC2 persona, he gains fans and money for exactly this", but after the rift with Demuslim I'm starting to think I might be wrong.

Why didn't Idra harass at any point ? Not saying 10-20 banelings/zerglings to one faraway cc would have done much but at least it'd do something like distract the opponent...but keep 100 percent of the army on his side of the map until he quits, what's the point ?

Never thought I'd say this, but I thought Idra's play was actually really good. Almost wasn't sure it was really him until he "gg'd" with a maxed army and 3000+ bank

What happened was faulty psychological mindset. Not faulty strategy, tactics or execution.

Get your mind together IdrA. It is yours and so is your responsibility.

I really feel like Idra doesn't enjoy playing this game anymore

idra did this stuff also 2 years ago so he has to be not enjoying it for a very long time

IdrA is that guy who plays 30 ladder games a day and ends up punching a hole in his wall but still comes back the next day for 30 more.

To be fair, Polt was in a lead. Polt killed three (maybe even four) hatcheries. Idra's "big attack" on Polt's 4th was stopped in its tracks. He still had a huge bank, so he still could have won, but it was five base Polt in the late-game with a huge air army mounting.


no, just no

Thanks, Wax.

IdrA was dead though, not sure why everyone's so upset.


Because people tune in to watch competitors fight it out. Not to just quit when they are max on supply and still have money in the bank. This isn't a showmatch, shit is actually on the line. Is it really so hard to understand?

Suppy was pretty much dead too. Heart had like fucking 7000 minerals in the bank playing bio. People want to see the player at least try and comeback and fight it out like you said.

I am glad I stayed up for this, I am so entertained and hope Idra never stops . Funny thing is, it's all in his mind, he is actually really good as he showed.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Can't understand how a professional team like EG can afford to let Idra play under their tag...

Incredibly, inexplicably poor decision making into a ragequit, who would have guessed it. It's unbelievably frustrating to watch, he is just so stubborn with how he plays, just would not adapt to what Polt was doing.

Gross that someone like idra was invited and this is how he repays the kindness by being absolute quitter. He would have never made it even into premiere league if he had to try to qualify since he probably would've quit after the first round.

When he is so sure that he has lost in those situations I just wish he would give the viewer the satisfaction of watching a battle.

10 pages in 1 minute. That's why idra delivers.

Pretty sure that anyone in a somewhat serious tournament leaving the game in that situation would have provoked a couple pages.

I'm sure the point is that no one else would ever do it.
