That's very nice of you GOM, to wish him well and respect his decision - such a thread as this shows how great you are connected with your community.

Good job man - if only we had more companies like you.

Wow. I hope the tourneys here can compete with the money that he could be making in Korea. Pretty much Idra needs to do what is best for himself and his career. I defiantly will love that he is back in the states.

Fuck the GSL... Honestly.

I rather have the big events which there are in the US/EU (MLG, Dreamhack, ESL, TSL, probably that EG "thing" and on top of that TONS of smaller tourneys like Go4sc2/Cyborg Cup....) than one bloated league that i never can watch live because it's in one of the worst possible timezones for people with a Job...

I was at first like a total sad face, but the more i think about it the better i am about this change

1) IdrA will probably stream at a better time (relative to me)
2) IdrA will be in more tournaments so that means i get to watch some more games
3) "Imbalanced" will probably end, so that humiliating show (imo) will be done with.
4) My love is closer to me!!

So does this mean no more Arizona EG house?


It means he's living there.

Someone said something about Geoff moving to LA and maybe EG doing something there. It'd be super sweet if there was a live event here in the Phoenix area that I could actually see, though.

That would be soooooo sweet! I am from gilbert, and if IdrA somehow was living anywhere near there it would be stellar to somehow meet up with him!! (and you too haha)

Wow... i think thats a huge risk for Idra. He's a giving up SO much..... I hope InControl and EG are worth it. I have my doubts. Seems to me most SC pro's want what Idra just gave away. Code S players can come to EU/USA anytime... but you can't just get into Code S.

GG.

Why the rush? He's been in Korea for years, why can't he at least stay for the March GSL?

i'm so sad to hear it. although, this could be just to buy some time in case zerg get better. although i was really looking forward to idra clide and idra zenio. intersting move nonetheless. i guess i see the reasoning to focus on foreign tournaments.

Anyone wonder how this makes Huk/Ret/Haypro/Spades feel considering they're really committed to it, if this confirms that NA tournament is as big they should come back after all that time.

This doesn't really change anything for them at all. Idra had it pretty bad to be honest. He lived by himself in an apartment with no team to practice with. The liquid guys on the other hand have the oGs house which has proven to be huge for them as you can see by their results in recent tournaments.

It's too bad that he never had the opportunity to live in a Korean team house for SC2. I'm sure he'll do well in US tournaments but him having EG as practice partners is more of a benefit to EG players then it is vice versa. I can't help but wonder how good he would have been had he lived in the IM house or even the oGs house.

Free wins for the opponents is kinda lame (seems nobody can replace the slot).

Hopefully Idra will beat America as hard as possible; he really deserves it.

*Especially as he starts to become a community guy, rather than the raging nerd.

**Someone know if he will still make the "Imbalance" with Artosis ?

The Emperor is comming here?! We will double our efforts!

(Welcome back Grack. I expect multiple tourny victories from you between NASL and MLG)

One thing worth pointing out is this will probably hurt Idras practice regiment. Assuming he doesn't want to play the asian server from the US, he will be stuck playing on a less competitive ladder.

I'm curious to see how well he does on US ladder now that there won't be latency issues. Glad to see him back and here's to hoping he plays in all the big upcoming tournaments.

How about you guys have a little faith that maybe NA can grow their own scene. We don't need Koreans ffs.

Surely there must be a thread on playxp or something by now. Would anyone do us the wonder of translating any comments by the Koreans about this? :D Pretty plleeasseeeee.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

That's a shame that Group B is now free wins. Hope Grack goes well in his American endeavors.

How will Idra-Jinro showmatch be played with N.A to KR latency though?

Imbalanced will continue, according to IdrA himself on State of the Game, though the format will change to accomodate the fact that he isn't in Korea with Artosis.

Antoine posted a thread there and there are a few smaller ones as well. It looks like they are mostly sad about it

Why doesn't idra just play in the ro32 and leave after the first match? IIRC he gets at least 500 dollars for just playing in the ro32?
