No surprise here. Idra has been a 2nd tier foreigner for quite some time now and has forever lacked the mental strenght to compete at the highest lvl.

Him being stomped by korean pros is a perfectly logical course of events.

Because of the $$! Idra is giving people exactly what they want to see and people eat it up. The one game against Polt generates more publicity than the brilliant play from Suppy. People don't want to see Idra perform they want Idra to act like a child. All sports have this too, this one guy/girl that is popular for other reasons than sporting achievement.

There's a point where it just gets kind of sad though, or a viewerbase migrates to pastures new. Destiny used to pull in the big numbers too after all, his movement to LoL wasn't entirely down to wanting a change of scene imo but due to his income shrinking a bit as well.

Seriously who are those people?

Usually when idra bms on the veryrare occasions he plays on a bigger stage people claim its all because of publicity and that he makes more money with it. But i usually dont even hear from idra anymore.

He is imho not the most popular foreigner (i think thats stephano) and i also doubt that he makes more money than mc or mvp.

Often the same people who BM a lot on ladder, have an over-inflated view of their skills and balance whine on forums?

I have a soft spot for Mr Fields myself, primarily because of those epic MLG showdowns with MC/MMA and the likes, playing straight-up macro against the best around at the time. Yeah he came up short sometimes, but there was a palpable ENERGY in the room when those games were going down. Similarly to the Naniwa vs Leenock series. Hell you could hate Naniwa with every fibre of your being, but as a broadcast spectacle, having a crowd that energised is awesome.

I mean, compare watching 'real' sports when the stadium is packed, to say Lazio playing behind closed doors, that kind of crowd vibe actually is really notable by its absence.

7 of the top 10 most popular threads on reddit starcraft are about idra or mention idra in some way. I'm certain he has a couple of threads about him on battlenet as well.

Seriously ;_;
IdrA!
Just watched VODs and game 1 of IdrA vs Polt...IdrA is so ahead for 90% of the match but not once did he pressure any of Polt's bases nor actually hit his army head on with his! Then he leaves as he realizes his army is useless vs mass raven viking marine maurader widow mine >.< FML so would of won that.
Then ZvZ he went Muta vs Muta shit yawn.
Oh well, so sad >.<

IdrA leaving in that position is perfectly sensible though. He will beat Polt maybe 1 out of 10 times in that game, but Polt is better than him so he's not likely to win the series anyway. However, if he leaves the game in that position he gets a lot of exposure which translates into more money.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Certainly hope for EG to not renew his contract and use the money to give some actual talented SC2 players a shot to defends NA's honor in WCS.

Weird...

I've never been an Idra fan, but the idea of 'Project Gracken' made me cheer for him a little...

Project Gracken

• EG spends a large sum of money to send Idra to SKT, to undergo Project Gracken a.k.a 'Rebuilding the Grack'.

• Project Gracken is leaded by Boxer and Oov (who rejoins SKT after his time in the army), which consists of brainwashing Idra with fighting spirit.

• Unfortunately after the brainwashing is completed, EG runs out of money for Idra's stay in SKT, so he's sent back to coach Park.

• Idra goes through harsh training under coach Park's command, with the new implemented resolve, the Gracken rebuilding is then complete, just in time for the rest of Proelague.

One can only dream?


I think Idra rack disciprine

only if mvp and mc aren't making much, i bet you stephano and JD are being paid at least twice as much as idra's current salary.

I'm a fan of idra but goddamn is getting to hard to keep rooting for him..

I know the game got hard after polt had such a massive lead but atleast try? What kind of mentality is this? Are you competitive enought for even trying? Can you see others succeed where you fail? Is it the game? the balance?

Or it's you and your bad attitude?

bahh such a disapointment

Sooner he drops out of WCS AM and we forget about him the better. It is not even about his ragequits, he has 0 respect for community. He acts as he does not want to be here, so I wish him gone already. He is still young enough to find a normal job.
