I'd almost have preferred they filled the spot with someone who performed well in Code A from last season. Well unless you create an actual tournament with that spot as number 1 it would be unfair compared to the other code A. And since GSL will restart just to fast they got no other choice then to give it a free win. | ||

If this was a money hungry move by EG, then that's quite shameful, even if its related to their "big announcement" next week. If it was a decision by Idra, I would really love to see him comment and try to explain this one | ||

Idra's too strong-willed to do anything other than what he wants to do (like ignore a full ride through university to play Starcraft professionally). | ||

Even if the money is there now, I have a feeling it won't be like that for much longer. We have tournaments exploding worldwide with top players coming from all corners of the globe. | ||

Actually dunno why i'm replying, ill just wait for your temp ban. obv the real reason behind idra's return is artosis mispronouncing his name the whole time. If he stayed in korea any longer he would have just cracked (gracked?) and killed him. | ||

The thing i dont quite understand is that people are saying how big it is outside of korea and i doubt anyone can disagree about that being true, however the difference in skill and the amount of GOOD players with refined timings/builds is just way in favor of korea. Which means there sure are money to pick up outside of korea but once it all settles down a bit in foreign contries then the skill gap will be even more in favor of korea. basicly the point im trying to get forward is that you can certainly play a lot and make a lot of money in NA/EU but ultimately the players in korea will just improve in a more rapid rate which has already been seen, and if he decides to return to korea in 6 months/ a year he might be so far behind that he will never reach code S status again. While if the liquid players stay in korea they will have a better success rate in the future. | ||

Kinda like being up 1-0 in the GSL Ro8 and gg'ing cuz you get bunker rushed. More FREE wins for Idra opponents. EG has been a disaster for Idra, he's going to go from being peers with Nestea, MVP, MC, Boxer, July.... to hanging around with Incontrol trying to show how funny he is. EG... has big announcement... EG is going to Korea..... i've seen some crazy posts by the manager/owners of EG.... its sad to think that Idra's career is in their hands. Liquid..... please save Idra.... he's in with a bad crowd. | ||
