Well done.

On a funny note I just woke up from my nap. Weirdest dream ever. Idra was playing at home. A protoss player (I'm feeling it was Nony for some reason but i'm not exactly sure) sent a DT (I was the DT in the dream) to go to his house and sabotage his base (or home in this case). I get there and there was only one Hydra. The thing gets slaughtered and I end up shutting off his computer power. (No offense is meant to Idra at all, it was just a dream, the guy irl is awesome) But he gets mad and begins to run away and go into a rage outside his house for losing to this 'cheesy' play. Anyways I blink out of there into safety.

Ok I think its time to take a break from starcraft haha...

Comparing any SC or SC2 player to Winston Churchill or Ghandi should hardly be taken seriously. It's a game I love, but at the end of the day, it's a game. Perhaps as far as a competitive game or even a sport. They didn't uplift an entire group of people in hard times to fight against a seemingly unstoppable oppressive power purely with their ability to speak, or spark a massive civil rights movement for an entire country, peacefully.

Nor does the comparison mean anything. I once ate a sandwich. You know who else ate a sandwich? John F. Kennedy. That's right. Perhaps I should go land a man on the moon. But I think Germans eat sandwiches too. Which means I'm also on equal terms with Hitler. Oh dear.

In summary: You best be trolling.

BM is perfectly fine... why people bitch about it is beyond me. BM is all over the place in professional athletics, why frown on it in esports?


No, I'm pretty sure people frown on it in real sports, i.e Chad Ochocinco's antics, Terrell Owens and his antics, Gilbert Arenas and his gun in the locker room, all the various brawls (St Louis Cardinals and the Reds and Johnny Ceuto lately), Ben Roethlisberger and the girl at the bar, all the NFL guys who have injured people drunk driving, Lebron James and his decision to go to the Miami Heat. Baseball steroids, Serena Williams and her outburst against the line judge at the US Open.

I'm sure there are more.


Lebron James moving to Miami is totally not BM.

Would you rather be rich in Cleveland, or in Miami. I'd pick Miami anyday, hot babes, hot weather, and hot beaches.

Hes going to make a legacy with Wade and Bosh, and I can't wait to see what they pull off.


I think I could have worded that better, I think the manner in which he made his whole grand decision was a bit BM. I think the classy thing to do was at least to let Cleveland know that he was not going back then decide where to go. I don't think it was right to keep an entire city and all of the Cav fans and the Cav team waiting. It's like being dumped in public in front of everyone, or handling the dumping in private.

Are you serious... you dare spit on the reputations of these great heroes by comparing them to IdRa. Sir, there is something clearly wrong with you.

Idra is by far my favorite player in Starcraft 2. I'm not trolling or joking as I say this, I highly respect the fact that he speaks his mind and says things like they are, not worrying about what people might think of him. When someone does something gay like a cheese he will say straight out "your gay" or something along those lines. When someone wins because they are using an overpowered race he will say "You should be glad your race allows you to win games you wouldn't normally be able to". Idra is one of the few folks virtuous enough to speak the truth and not lie about his opinions just to make himself look better or to make his opponent feel better.

Some people may call him bad manner but I call him good manner for following the virtue of honesty.

the only issue i have with idra is his OP talk about terran during ladder matches on replays that people see (like against silver and drewbie). the problem with this is, he doesn't specify or clarify what exactly he thinks could be tweaked or changed to balance terran out.

the result is a bunch of forum dwellers who rant about how overpowered terran is. this transcends into the game, which is where it bothers me. i play terran, i play them b/c i want to, and i really don't need to justify why. if you're better than me, you're going to beat me. i beat a protoss player with a bioball w/ ghosts against his high templar/gateway mix. when he finally lost, he claimed "terran bio is so imba" and left.

seriously? it's pretty clear that idra thinks that mech is imbalanced, and specifically against zerg. yet, because of his outspoken stance on these replays, the vast majority of idiots playing, and who watch idra replays think that anything terran does is imba, and it's just gotten stupid.

I thought this was cute. IdrA is indeed awesome, in the way that Kerrigan is awesome: Just as Terran and Protoss forces alike despise the actions of the Queen of Blades, it's hard not to hate IdrA's incessant BM. But again, Kerrigan's genocidal rampages can only be described as "badass", so too would one classify IdrA's crusade against Carrier-massers and Siege Tank-whores as worthy endeavors.

Hats off to you, IdrA.



thats not at all the same thing seeing as Hitler pretty much did what kerrigan was doing. so nope.

This is what I think of you after reading this post....
+ Show Spoiler +

A Comprehensive look at Beef Noodles

First, to all ye nay-sayers: Before reading the biblical tale of the demi-god Beef Noodles, leave your envious lies at the door like you did your social lives and self-respect.

As Athena burst from Zeus’s cranium, in similar fashion, Beef Noodles sprouted forth from the Olympian Father’s nerdiest nipple. With said divine inheritance, Beef Noodles has ruled uncontested as SC2 demi-god for all eternity/the past few months.

Many plebeians try to bring down perfection itself by harping on my lord’s repetitive game play or declarations of imbalance, but let me assure you, Beef Noodles is only following the necessary path to becoming a true Hero. I talk not of Starcraft heroes like Jaedong or Flash. I talk of Heroes of Justice, Liberty, and Destroyers of Evil.

We need only look at the historical records. Where will we find the most appropriate comparison to Beef Noodles? Boxer… no. Nada… no. Kwanro… HELL NO! I say let us compare Beef Noodles to the types of heroes who have almost reached Beef Noodles-like proportions: Winston Churchill, Davy Crockett, and Mohandas Gandhi.

While comparing these men to Beef Noodles is an insult to the great Zerg emperor, I feel like these three men are the closest mortal specimens.

When Winston Churchill declared that England would fight Nazi Germany even if the battles raged on the streets of London itself, I almost got as many chills as when Beef Noodles refused to switch races as Blizzard armed Terran with V2 rockets and Panzer tanks. (Yes I just compared Terran to Nazi Germany…).

Every time Beef Noodles refuses to “gg,” I envision Davy Crockett, out of ammunition and completely surrounded at the Alamo, telling 6,000 Mexican soldiers to “go to hell” before the bullets ripped his body apart.

And when people complain that Beef Noodles boringly sits back, never attacks, and passively waits until he can overpower his opponent with sheer strength of will – NO ONE realizes it is because Beef Noodles is a pacifist. He is using “non-cooperation” without attacking in the hopes that his opponent will see that they are in fact in the wrong and just “gg” before the final confrontation (or just cheese him, but who would cheese Gandhi?).

Now, people will spout horrendous lies like Beef Noodles is bad mannered, or Beef Noodles complains, or Beef Noodles is sickly looking and needs to tan. Beef Noodles is bad mannered? WINSTON CHURCHILL is bad mannered. A lady at a party once asked him if he was drunk, to which Prime Minister Churchill replied, “I may be drunk madam, but in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly!” So heroes can be bad mannered… check.

But, Beef Noodles complains about Terran being OP… Again, Churchill wouldn’t shut up about how OP the Nazi were, so America agreed to focus on the war with Germany BEFORE fully going to war with Japan (even though we joined in because of Pearl Harbor). Churchill wouldn’t shut up about DT u-boats or Panzer siege tanks being OP! Also, you think Davy liked being out numbered 30 to 1 at the Alamo? I bet he was pissed at how OP the Mexicans were. So heroes can be complainers… check.

Beef Noodles looks sickly? Take a look at the rib cage of Gandhi. You could see all his vital organs in action, the poor man was so sickly. Besides, Beef Noodles is a wrist massage and a trip to the beach away from being a tan, sexy beast! So heroes can be sickly (I mean look at bubble boy)… check!

All the opposition’s criticisms have now been disproven, nullified, or avoided. Therefore, Beef Noodles is awesome. Enjoy watching him play as I do.

Am I a troll? No. Beef Noodles is awesome. I mean every word.

(Except comparing Terran to Nazi Germany).
