At least he's showing why he shouldn't ever be invited or placed into any group of any tournament, ever. why not? it's good entertainment Because it should be about being competitive, not fun or having a following. Dragon and MaximusBlack shouldn't get invites either, neither should the female players who are low masters. If tournaments had some principles regarding this idra would be gone from the scene in a couple of months. A lot of people were a bit annoying that the likes of hellokitty got an invite over someone like demuslim, but frankly I feel we should be more upset that idra got an invite.
GSL used to give a bunch of foreigners Code S seeds for the same reason

IdrA might be the worst player in this tournament. Not even joking. Because every other player could be in a winnable position in a 30 minute game against Polt, right? I like Idra but this isn't far from the truth imo. It's really sad too, he has fantastic mechanics for a foreigner and can dish out a solid lategame, but he has such a weak mentality and so incredibly stubborn that he just defeats himself. Not too impressive either outside of standard macro games. He also does the same thing every single time. Play greedy until he loses. After he loses he cheeses. Every single time.
Yep. He's like Flash but not even a quarter as good to still win a lot :p

LOL try harder.

That was midway through Game 1 when he WAS playing well.

Aren't you getting tired of gloating at Idra's misery?

Someone already pointed out...but yes. If you invest in a player and you're not supporting him, not only are you wasting an asset that you invested in, you are letting a member of the team down.

He does. He practices what he's best at against Demu. I think it shows too.

lol at all the people hoping idra will leave the scene or get dropped by EG. He brings in all the viewers. Fans and Haters loves to watch him. Other players don't have a huge hater following like Idra does.
There is only so many tournaments he can fall out from.
If he wastes his WCS chance it's quite likely he will never qualify back.

By the way: Ben Nichol @MrBitterTV 29m
Everyone should know @RotterdaM08 flew to NYC on his own dime to cast WCS today. He said "I just miss casting, and want to be a part of WCS"
Hardcore dedication there man.

Didn't EG make him talk to a sports psychologist some time ago?

Not a bash, but Idra's refusal to play the top Terrans on NA and quitting out of games consistently hardly prepared him well for facing Polt 
|
Game #1 was so sad, he had a huge window where he could have crushed polt
|
Sometimes I can`t tell if he is doing this on purpose to keep up with his angry rage quitting persona to keep people talking about him OR if he truly is this mentally fragile kid. He should probably consider retiring if it is the latter.

talk to your fellow viewers then. because they dont reward results, either for players or teams. code S koreans can stream and get less than 500 viewers. the community forgets about a big tournament win as soon as the next big tournament happens.
a business' purpose is to make money. winning is at best tangentially related to making money in this industry, solely because of what you and the rest of the community chooses to watch. and any company who tries to lead the charge in the direction you're asking for is gonna go out of business. we arent "abusing a competitive platform" we work in an entertainment industry and you guys are entertained by pandering, not competition. Idra, in an insight in why he behaves the way he does. I am sure he is a nice fellow, who is pained and crying inside by his enforced facade for entertainment whenever he streams. nope you're all a bunch of fucks it just so happens i get paid to treat you like it. it's fucking awesome.
that's actually kind of sad, dude is full of hate

InControl's said a lot of times that they've tried to improve his mentality, and for a while towards the end of WoL, people said he started improving and rage-quitting less.

Looks surprisingly good throughout the entire game, aborts the moment a HSM hits his Broodlord at 200/200 max.
Stephano:
Plays progressively worse and worse as time goes on, calls his opponents bad and blames his "playing conditions"
YOUR EG REPRESENTATIVES EVERYONE! Stephano said this about Idra, or Stephano said this? Surprising - he's been very polite anytime I've ever watched him. He is full of shit he clearly dont like Stephano.

Yeah, ironic that IdrA played so much cleaner than most foreigners in that game. i must have missed that he played greedy, knowing polt doesn't attack in early game, that's all i can credit idra for He engaged very well, limited Polt to 4 bases, low bank, and had 5 bases with a 20 supply lead with full Hive tech, upgrades, and a terrifying army against just bio+mines and no transition in sight. It was textbook, perfect ZvT, till he just... collapsed. Sigh. he didn't engaged really well, he just had more stuff, because he went to 4 bases uncontested to comment on the person above to lazy to find his reply. Stephano during his wcs video interview(might have been in a private conversation with babyk) or w/e called babyk bad and he didnt deserve the win read about it here: https://twitter.com/NaViBabyKnight
