Have you read/heard any of his interviews? Idra doesn't really care about learning Korean nor does he have that much interaction with his CJ teammates beyond a select few. Be informed before you make random statements.

Without a team I doubt Idra will stay in Korea. My odds are that he'll join Liquid despite his bm. I mean, who else is going to take him? Certainly not any Korean team.


Why wouldn't any Korean team take him? He's been playing with 2 different Korean pro teams for several years. If anything, he is the most likely foreign candidate to be picked up by a Korean team.

No one gives a shit about BM. Idra doesn't even speak the language.


Because Korean teams in general prefer Korean players? Because Idra seems to have no interest in learning Korean or having extended interaction with Korean teammates and would probably prefer English speaking teammates/team? Because we know how much of a good predictor you are (ex. Google Wave)?

Stop talking as if you know shit. It's good for their image if Korean teams take in a foreigner (white people are loved in Korea) and Idra IS learning Korean.
And I'm Korean, hence my word > yours.


You would think they would love all the foreign English teachers then...oh wait...

TBH I'm behind IdrA's decision to put distance between himself and KeSPA...

If he wants a future in SC2 that's the best course of action.

I am privy to discussions but ultimately I will agree with Nazgul, who has far more experience in this realm than I do.

It's not his decision to leave CJ, his contract was running out and he didnt get a new one. Otherwise i guess he would have liked to stay with CJ

He does learn Korean. He also said that he really likes the korean food and language and is always happy when he comes to Korea from a US trip because the food is so healthy.
I think the chance that he actually becomes good at korean and becomes pretty famous at some point in his sc2 career is kinda high because he is not really as ignorant as some people think he is.

And he will need help from his friends to beat him and then since Goku gets stronger when he loses he will be better. Then he will go to another planet training in 100x gravity so then he comes and is super ownage like Goku was and then there will be someone like Frieza that owns him untill he rages and turns into a super saiyan. Then cell comes and then he gets owned and asks his kid to help him out to kill cell so the person that IdrA trained will kill Cell. Then Buu will come and seem to be unstoppable and will make Vegeta super ownage but Goku will hide SS3 from him and then will fuse with him to kill Buu. Then will use a spirit bomb to own Buu. And then some shit happens where he becomes a kid again but he's in the future. I don't even understad that shit.


love it... made me laugh!

Wait so IdrA = goku? His temperament seems more like Vegeta... <shrug> It's too late to be over thinking a Dragonball reference...

So, Liquid members are paid a monthly/whatever-ly salary? Neat.

Also, a bit of an annoying way to "Correct me" When I say that; I'm actually looking for info, not a quip.

i doubt that, as he is a member of TL for some 6-7 years now.


Liquid invites players, they don't accept applications.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

ah well, there probably wasn't much hope for him in CJ since most KeSPA teams are definitely more focused on BW

i dont think that is necessarily true. the way i see it is IdrA on CJ Entus>only SC2 player on CJ and has permission from the team to switch to SC2>CJ subject to KeSPA>KeSPA and blizz not doing too good and KeSPA trying stifle the growth of SC2 in korea>im guessing his team takes a large cut of his tournament winnings>contracted player so cant leave> contract running out soon> decides to leave because he doesnt want to be controlled by KeSPA and have a large part of his earnings taken away when the team isnt really helping him improve since he cant practice with any of them> no point in being on team>decides to put in his notice that he doesnt want a new contract.

its a good time to leave since GSL is starting and its got an enormous prize pool. he can earn a lot there especially if he wins since he'll get to keep it all. and he basically earned it himself since like i said no practice help from his team since none of them play.

he moved to korea to join the team cause that was just what you had to do for BW. SC2 isnt very big in korea yet and all of the big stuff is going on in the West. so i'm thinking he might not see much reason to stay in korea anymore as well since the language barrier he has said is very hard to deal with. i wouldnt be surprised to see him come home since this is where the scene is really taking off. i dont think this game is going to revolve around korea like BW did. and i believe he's said time and time again the Korea server is probably worse than NA is.

That's how i'm seeing it all from what i know. it's all guessing but i think its probably the closest thing to the truth than that he just couldnt get a new contract. im betting he didnt want one.

Yeah he's definitely more like Vegeta. Vegeta improves through his rage. Like when Goku showed every his super saiyan transformation in the Trunks saga, Vegeta was all pissed and wanted it super bad. He felt like he deserved it more since he is the prince of all saiyans. So then instead of going through emotional distress to become super saiyan, Vegeta knocked out a monstrous training session to achieve his goal. If you don't remember, he trained at like 300x earths gravity then he landed on some planet. A giant asteroid was going to wreck his ship but then he got owned and raged hard. All of a sudden, he turned super saiyan.

So I guess right now Idra is like super saiyan vegeta but now he is trying to achieve ultimate level. New training house is therefore the hyperbolic time chamber. Then to go even further, he is going to let himself get possessed (by kespa maybe?) and become super saiyan majin Idra. Remember Idra, there is good in your heart! Don't turn yourself over to kespa
