I'll just go out on a limb and assume the last MLG was several patches ago, and i presume he lost matches primarily against stuff like 5 rax reaper. Nobody made a single Reaper that entire tournament, he lost to Tyler who did a few Blinkstalker builds if i remember correctly, then he went to the losersbracket where he lost to another Protoss i believe. My point is that foreigners are no pushovers, we saw 2 korean players at the latest Dreamhack and they didnt even reach finals. People need to stop looking down on their own, they are much better than people give them credit for, i think Idras move back to the states will open alot of peoples eyes. Everyone seems to want to remember Idra winning MLG, but forget him losing several times and disregard it as "fluke", just like the GSL losses. Anyway good luck to him, i think this is the right decision for him, not just in terms of his progaming career but also his life, going to back to his family and friends etc | ||

He only attended twice, and swiping the floor the first time and losing the next time to builds/maps he wasn't aware of. Lost to Nazgul's blink stalkers 2-1 Upperbracket Lost to Select's 2rax pressure 2-0 Lowerbracket Also GSL won't be the same without IdrA , also nice trolling of Clide/Zenio hahaha | ||

As a fun, tbh, I watch almost every game he played in the past 4 GSLs (90 percent on live). Now I am just so sad. | ||

We get it that you like Idra and think he's awesome, but honestly, stop making excuses. | ||

(On a side note you don't need to react so defensively I was just stating the fact).Blinkstalkers were famous in the beta but were not seeN after beta specially the way Nazgul did it. (Even Nazgul admited that he used the build to snipe IdrA, hence he picked kulas ravine(cliff) and used the same strategy 3games in a row!). Also the 2rax pressure build wasn't common back then. You think I am trying to downplay Nazgul / Select but I am not. Just stating how he lose and the scores.. | ||

Did he go US just to participate in more, smaller, tournaments to win more money? Cause that would suck. Seriously though why wont he play one last tournament? | ||
