I love the formatting they used on that. I really enjoy whenever designers take a risk and try out new things (and I feel that, right now, especially with HTML5 becoming so big, we're experiencing a change in formatting and many new ways of doing things are popping up).

Overall, a pretty good article. However, it was incredibly disorienting since it's focusing on what was basically the end of 2010 even though we're about to enter the middle of 2011. Hell, only the last paragraph talked about IdrA moving back to the US and the rest of the article made it seem like he was going to stay in Korea forever.

Also: OMG A PIC OF IDRA SMILING (obligatory).

Nice interview, even further proves to me that I know Idra's game plan

. He's not the bad guy people make him out to be, but he's not your "all is good you can walkover me" type of guy either. Losing sucks and he's vocal about losing, shows that he cares for the game.

Lol Idra and I have something in common now. We both nearly went to RPI before deciding to do something completely unrelated. Great interview. Shame he isn't in Korea anymore, but it was probably the right decision at least monetarily wise.

It's worth to read it all, IdrA's interviews are always interesting and this is one is very well done.

Honestly... Isn't Colbi regularly violating the 'no advertising' thing? I read the excerpt and that wasn't much.

I guess I don't support ESPORTS enough.

An article talking about idra isn't advertising steelseries just because it has the name in the URL.

Was this really just uploaded? If so how long have they been sitting on it, the 'current events' in it are pretty old.

I'm not that surprised though. I don't mean to offend anyone, I've got offers on the table to study physics next year, but us physicists are probably the most easy to stereotype nerds and its not a big step to imagine Idra applying to study physics.

He's right when he says his bm slightly blown out of proportion. I think a lot of people can respect him for speaking his mind, personally I would trust somebodies opinion more if they always spoke their mind instead of never wanting to hurt anybodies feeling (not that that's bad, a happy medium is probably best).

My problem with Idra is sometimes he speaks his mind unnecessary. if you're answering questions about other players then its fine to speak your mind about them, but he sometimes just insults people during interviews when its not really related to the question. I can't think of when it was, but there was some interview on stage at MLG Dallas where he insulted Huk before he'd even been asked about him, and its not the only time he's done something like that.
