Post this on the other thread related to the same issue....

if you don't do it THAT is creating a bigger issue of the situation because you don't look very good if you are not telling the whole story. just seems a bit shady


Honestly you can think its shady or not, but I'd rather have you yelling at us to be "transparent" then creating flame wars between pro and anti-IdrA fans over what is said. The reality is that just like any sport when a person acts out of line they are dealt with in manner related to their behavior.

The NBA doesn't tell the press what a player said in a basketball game when he gets a Technical Foul. When a player gets a yellow or red card in FIFA they don't even tell you what it was for. We are being transparent but also keeping privacy for the obvious necessary reasons.

idra already admitted that he just didnt want his games to be casted and he also accepted the penalty points for that. that issue is pretty much done.

but i dont see how he never planned to complete the games. maybe there is a misunderstanding of when he would be leaving korea for germany because of the different timezones or maybe he just wasnt aware that semifinal games were to be postponed but i really dont think he'd go through all the trouble never planning to finish it.

however, both points were misrepresented in the esl announcement and considering that they'd must've spent quite a bit of time typing that up i don't see why they didn't investigate this properly.
You can reach the rainbow. I'll be there to help.

ESL should definitely have D4NNY from WCIP as their head admin in the North American division, that guy is a pimp, and has great administrative experience.

Penalty points for BM? Seriously? The winner should be the best at the game not the best at manners. ESL sounds like it's turning into a garbage organization.

Is this a joke? if you personally insult someone you should be willing to sacrifice your entire tournament winning, welcome to the real world where actions have consequences.

My problem is that we haven't seen any evidence of it. I have no doubt Idra insulted the admins; however, seeing if he did it unprovoked or after being told he was going to be disqualified are two wildly different situations. Considering ESL refuses to post the comments after being asked time and time again, I would tend to believe it was the latter.


This, ESL needs more transparency in this situation they need to tell us what exactly he said or else it seems like they're still trying to cover their asses. They state players AND admins but I never saw him insult a player in this tournament... it seems like Chill is right here.

No, that's perfectly acceptable. If there wasn't any restrictions regarding manners the e-sport scene would turn into a major shitfest.

The semifinals and finals were always scheduled to be played the day after the rest of the bracket-- that's how all the qualifiers are. Idra certainly knew that in advance, and it doesn't really matter since the 1st place prize is insignificant compared to the prize for top 4

Every sport in the World has rules against speaking negatively towards an official. FIFA, NBA, NFL, MLB - you name it all have rules related to player and officials interactions. In baseball you can be thrown out of a game if you touch an umpire.

"IdrA then received an additional PP for his verbal abuse of both admins and fellow players."

That's my boy.

I would sugget to be better prepared when dealing with the cream of the crop.

I dont care if the admins were poking idra with a sharp stick, he shouldnt have insulted them. IdrA just keeps on behaving like a child and tbh it isnt doing anything good for the sc2 community.

Would be sooo ironic if they insulted him first though, it'd be REALLY funny actually

Transparency from ESL is appreciated. About Idra's behavior, I think that in esports as well as in other sports, you have to follow the rules, AND demonstrate sportsmanship. Flouting rules and insulting people is definitely not an evidence of professionnalism.

well this is not a standard penalty procedure. i'm not arguing about that it's unfair that he got pp etc.
this is about when he got pp for what, and it's important to clear it as much as you possibly can because right now it looks like someone fucked up and instead of just admitting that and handling the situation that way you try to cover it up and act like some things just never ever happened.
and since you mentioned fifa: in a situation like this the would try to clear things up, because angry fans are never a good thing

What are the rules regarding not paying the players what they are owed?

God ESL looks terrible from this. They are worse at apologizing than Combat-Ex.

When you screw up, this is how you make an apology.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=124327

Why the hell would you decide to have BigT be the official streamer? Dude creates drama out of nothing and is a terrible caster. People don't just randomly write "username" is a douche threads for no reason.

Hm, he called the admins "fucking idiots". (Two posts further down he confirms that the quotes are accurate.) So it wasn't after being disqualified, but after being asked to replay two games, so also not unprovoked. Plus at that point he was already annoyed because of the BigT story and probably because of latency. Oh yeah, and in the first game after he let BigT in, he brought up the unpaid bills thing in ingame chat, which was clearly a diss.

(Please don't read this as hating/flaming IdrA; I'm not.)
