Great to see an interview/article about IdrA but I thought it was so terribly written that it distracted me from enjoying it. There were a lot of mistakes that would have been caught by just one single person proofreading it.

I've really gained a bit of respect from Idra just from this interview.

Eh, Good for someone new to IdrA I guess. But there's no new content in there for anyone who has already readd every IdrA interview ever made

This interview was BOSS-status. But as JackOscar said, nothing really new popped up.

If it wasn't for youtubers like HD and Husky bringing SC2 hundreds of thousands of new viewers his BM sorry ass would never be able to make a living off SC2 and he would still be a crappy B team member in a gaming house.

hes been making his living for years now, even before sc2 came out...

and imo, no one really watches husky and hd anymore. its all about the nasl, gsl, iem, dreamhack, mlg, tsl, and player streams.

He was only able to move out of Korea because of SC2. As I said, he would still be stuck on a BW B team and hating his life.

No, no he wouldn't be. He would be just where he is now, one of the best sc2 pros. HD and Husky just gave people who were new to sc2 a person to hate - but before sc2, a LOT of people hated him for his BM in scbw and shit talking, even though he was the best foreigner in scbw.

If you want to hate him, at least hate him properly.

Let me restate this. If it was not for youtube casters, SC2 would not be as popular in the western world as it is. Simple, the competitive scene would again be only based in Korea, and it would be a shitty scene at that since most koreans still watch BW.

And as for the DaggothReborn, lol at no one watches husky and HD when their most recent videos all have more viewers then the most viewed GSL / NASL / IPL / TSL3 VODs.

I don't watch them anymore, but most casual followers do. And those are the people that will ultimately dictate if SC2 will make it mainstream or not. So we should all be basically thanking the heavens for youtubers or there would be no way leagues like NASL could exist.

If he accepted the scholarship from Rensselaer I would've met him there, talk about coincidence.

Of course Idra is a good player, but he seems a little bit arrogant to me.

Anyway i would love to play Zerg like he does. Sometimes it's pretty amazing to watch.

I'm never quite sure whether I like or hate Idra - sometimes I think his bm is a bit too much, but after reading this interview I think he has a point about personality - it's more entertaining to watch someone like him than someone who shows no emotion. And of course, he has great macro.

Idra has always been a sore loser even through the SC/BW years. He cries and complains like a little b*tch. I remember once he kept spamming me stupid comments on how over rated 2 gate openings were.

Idra it's time to grow up. If you want to be attractive toward sponsors how about you man-up and grow some balls. Take your losses like a real man.

I'm not sure you understand how sponsorships work, so let me be the one to give you advice. Stop talking about things you don't understand. Thanks.

I love how, just by writing that, you proves his point about the haters.. ^^

An amazing read! definitely my favourite profesional player.
This just shows that he is human like all of us and hard work and practice is what you need to be able to win.

Anyone else notice that they reversed a couple of the pictures of him? just thought it was funny, also

In his old Michigan schoolyard, they would probably say that "he is keepin' it real


I'm sorry but that was a really funny way of putting it.
