EPTIdrA's job is to play this game. He plays it for like 8+ hours a day and for years by now. And he complains about protoss for like forever.
And still he doesn't know how to beat it.
Maybe he should change his practice schedule...... maybe.

You're not a fair weather fan when the player you support has been performing terribly for almost a year and you stick with supporting him up until the moment his drop in play is accompanied by disgusting attitude. | ||

No, it's someone that is done watching EG.Idra's horseshit. How can you like a player that treats his fans, teammates, and team like trash? You make it seem like it's not-ok to stop cheering for a player because they've done everything possible to push fans away. | ||

It's not funny anymore when leaves games early, 6 pools, and rages. It's not helping your organisation, it's losing viewers and keeping eyes off your sponsers. Try PuMa vs HuK next time and we might see a decent series. | ||

No, your statement was ignorant because you want something completely different than the game provides and you refuse to look at the positives of that game. How about the positioning of Huk to take that high ground base, the like two minute back and forth battle at the pocket expansion, constant positioning and small trades, attempts to harass and those attempts being shut down, etc? But no, because it wasn't a protoss avoiding fighting an unstoppable late game army by blinking around sniping off unimportant tech structures while broodlords and infestors destroy everything, you find it boring instead of looking at the interesting merits of the actual game. At least with vortexes you can have an actual engagement based on proper positioning and composition, but you want the late game to be blink stalker and warp prism harassment while the protoss is unable to even have a fight with the zerg? Where did I say it was objective? You are allowed to have your opinion, that doesn't make it a good one. | ||

I'm disappointed by his bad attitude, but I've just accepted it and just kind of sigh every time I see a match end like this. I used to be a fan, but until he overcomes his mental block, if he ever does, I just don't get too invested in his games. I don't think EG coming down hard on idra will make it change - this sort of thing is what keeps him losing all the time, and EG would much rather he be winning tournaments like he used to. I don't see what punishing him for it will really accomplish. If it really does bother you that much, then stop watching things with idra. Don't even talk about him. If idra stops bringing them in a ton of viewers, EG will be less tolerant of this kind of behavior. Over 10,000 viewers means that EG benefits from Idra's bad reputation. In the meantime, I'll still hold out a sliver of hope that idra can actually get back on top and be able to back up his shit talk again, but until then I'll just be  | ||

I'd have to assume he disagrees with that assessment because we don't understand the game like he does or something. Since InControl likes casting with him, why not gently push Idra in that direction? Apparently his desire to play is still questionable. | ||

Are you kidding? You're blinded by your irrational love of this guy. It's not about his attitude - that really doesn't matter. It's about performance and perception. This guy is paid to do this. Sure his attitude may have improved slightly since your initial viewings, but the level of attention and prestige he continues to receive has grown considerably over the past few years. Yet, as a response, Idra makes it his personal quest to shit all over what "good sportsmanship" stands for. EG promoted this event as if it was a "clash of the titans" event, when it was really huk playing normal and Idra raging and giving up. It's more of an embarrassment to EG than to Idra himself, which is the real shame. | ||

His attitude doesn't matter. It's the fact he can't represent himself, his team, or the sport with any sort of respect or dignity. His actions make EG look worse. It has to do with betraying your benefactors rather than someone in his mid-twenties expressing the attitude of an angsty-teen. | ||

You need to analyze the big picture. There's more going on than someone's bitch-fit after losing a game. | ||
