"ROOT was comprised of a lot of mediocre players who did well early in the game because it was a young game. More skilled players will begin to take over the North American scene and outperform them as the game matures."
Irony sensor going haywire.
Idra starts out a powerhouse, then declines as "More skilled players [on Root] will begin to take over".

damn it! I so want to go to Dallas for this...I'll have to wait for Columbus

Men idra makes this forums very funny to read

All the Hyper X guys I met at PAX were phenomenal. I am so glad they are putting so much into e-Sports with all the events they take part in!

I think some day Idra is just going to get his ass kicked by better players at a LAN for running his mouth off, without any good performances to back himself up. His BM on minigun was the saddest because I think minigun has alway wanted to play the 'legendary' Idra (chad himself had no RTS background and made it to the top starting out at just gold league), but after he 2-1d Idra out of the JTV invitation, Idra just goes out whining about imba imba, herp derp, game is young, herp. Glhf to ROOT at Dallas, hope you guys 2-0 every EG player, you guys have twice their integrity and manner

ROOT Gaming is 6-2 against EG in clanwars (now that's a fact) last 2 clanwars we won with IdrA playing, sort of funny cause in State of the game when told that they had to play ROOT he replied something like "oh you won't even need me then" hahahaha. Either way, props for fantastic marketing and failed logic  <3
haha props to your photoshop skills good sir, I definitely agree/w your caption and all your poitns - especially considering MLG is coming up.
This thread just makes me more pumped for EG vs ROOT matches in MLG.

The root banner made me Lol so much

That article was a bit... short.
The whole thing seemed staged.

You all have to realize this is a sponsored thread and the main goal is to promote and get views, which they've done. Greg is a great player, and one who speaks his mind, but I strongly feel ROOT has not declined, and although we won't be in full force @ MLG Dallas (Princess/ddoro/minigun not going), I'm confident we'll post a strong showing. Good luck to all at MLG, and swing by and say hi if you see a tall asian guy in a ROOT shirt (that's me)!

I need to read threads more carefully. I don't realize Minigun wouldn't be there. That's a shame, really enjoy watching him.
Hopefully both ROOT and EG have great showings.

I'm not sure I agree with the ROOT comments.... They have freaking Kiwikaki. The guy is a monster.

It's simple. Idra just underestimates his opponents. This is a problem for him, and he needs to start taking his opponents more seriously. For instance: Cruncher
Idra is in a bit of a slump tournie wise, and I believe that this is his main issue.

I was wondering how you were connected with vVv when I played you the other day on the ladder. I figured you were just pretending then I saw you had team games with Murder o.0.

Funny how its possible, that a kingston/eg-marketing thread turns out to be a root/eg-hate thread... nice job for creating "controversies" that work against you eg... =(
|
Kingston is so full of win. I can't WAIT to get on the plane! Be sure to come stop by and say hi to us in Dallas, or at least let me know if there is something specific you want me to ask either side of the ROOT/EG debate. Greg is usually willing to tell it like he sees it on camera.
LOVE this community! <3

I wonder if Idra actually said that Kingston RAM "improves the performance of the game itself" and that "having high quality memory is absolutely crucial", or if he only agreed to let them use his name and they made it up. I mean, RAM doesn't actually significantly impact gaming. Certainly not SC2, unless you have 1GB of it or it's faulty or something.
That's kind of weird... but Kingston certainly is reliable anyway. And their RAM is pretty.
