I think he ignores TLO cause he plays random, how many sc:bw pros do you know that played random and where top-notch? 1 race players are way stronger "end game" then a random player can be if given the same amount of time. I hope TLO settles with 1 race when the game releases or so cause his ideas and playstyle are quite enjoyable to watch!

Or Idra might just dislike TLO

I enjoyed the interview but, on the off chance you read this, you should really shut up when the interviewee is talking. Hence the point of the interview. You kept cutting him off and talking over him. Thats fine for some things, but when you interview IdrA, we want to listen to IDRA

That said, i appreciated the interview.

Funny how Idra ignores TLO as a potential dominating player in Europe in each of his interviews :o


I thought the same... and I was surprised that he didnt mention Sen for the asia server. imo hes one of the best players there
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

Nice interview, just really confirms what has been said already in other places, but still good.

Both Apollo and Idra would benefit from some sunlight and some exercise though, IdrA in particular looks like he has cancer.

This change so much from the bad sound quality of artosis interviews that it's refreshing ! I also like the pace of the interview no boring silence and pause, really dynamic.

Great interview, i hope Apollo will do more of this stuff in the future.
Immortal or no Immortal, that is the question ! Someone give me a hamlet skull !

Idra being Idra's cocky self. Still, he does have reasons to be cocky, doesn't he...

Nice interview, and loved the ambience, was kinda tired of the ultra noisy coffee shops.

I was pretty surprised that he didn't mention Sen. Very good interview, though.

Thanks for the interview d.Apollo. A good interview and a refreshing change of pace from Artosis' more spontaneous style and good to see a tripod (or something stable) used for the camera.

IDRA NUMBER 1 FANBOY.
That was a great interview.

I really liked how there wasn't a constant ringing in my ears the entire time like the artosis one, haha.

I hope IdrA can continue in becoming the Best SC2 player!

nice interview, but the one thing i found messed up is if I was watch this interview without a BW backround. I would of come away from it thinking Idra was better then even most korean pros at BW. Was kinda misleading. Still entertaining at least!

The main thing working against Americans in the progaming scene is the culture. Parents aren't likely to allow their teenagers to "play a game" for 8+ hours a day as they don't view the prospects of being a progamer as a legitimate goal. It's even worse as an independent adult as you pretty much NEED to have a full time job to keep a roof over your head (with internet).

If the US had progaming teams like Korea does, then you might have a chance to get "scouted" and earn a means to live by playing, but as it stands, progaming on the level that IdrA expects will be necessary just isn't an option unless you're already supported without having to work. Culture is the sole reason why Koreans are so firmly at the top of the scene.

I definitely liked the atmosphere and the friendly feeling there was between the interviewer and interviewee, it wasn't just a blunt "Q -> A, repeat" style of interview and felt more like I was sitting along you having a nice stay at a cafe. Thumbs up for this.

IdrA seems to have transformed in to even more of a fine gentleman as time goes, his "arrogant" personality has somewhat reached a stage where it's no longer repulsive or just pure hate towards everyone but his little crew. I guess getting a break from Brood War and having future SC2 success in mind does that to you!

Agreed.

Apollo has been sorta goofy in the last few videos but he does a very good job of acting professional as well ^^

Great interview too.
