Ironic thing is idra isn't going to korea because of his fans in a sense. Idra has realized that he does not need to get better and can never win another game in his career and his popularity will never wane, nor will he lose many fans. His stream numbers will always remain strong because people will always tune in to see him rage and stuff.

Can't say I blame him for realizing this fact and capitalizing on this since the freedom of an american team house is better than a korean house. The living conditions are better due to the size of the house and there's no strict schedule to follow, so you can do what you want. That can't be disputed. It's not conducive to being the best, but Idra's goal is no longer to be the best, but to just take it easy and make as much money as he can now. From a strictly financial perspective, Idra isn't wrong since pro gaming has a limited shelf life, so it's best to make as much money as you can.

the hard-on you have for idra is amazing--just looking at your previous posts.


Woah, I think this is the first time I've been accused of being an idra fan. The two progamers I dislike the most are idra and stephano. Idra for his bm, attitude and mkp hate. I hate the fact that the community loves his bm and rage enough to make him as popular as he is. Stephano, I dislike his arrogance and personality and his fanboys.

the thing is though, is having a better chance in foreign tournaments even a good argument? koreans have been taking foreign money for a looooong time. when was the last tournament that a foreign player actually had a good chance to win a lot of money, not counting the non-korean WCS tournaments. Ill agree that its easier to fly and go to tournaments outside of korea, but do players have more of a chance outside of korea? I dont think so, not without practice.
did you read the script?

Honestly, If I were Idra or Demuslim, I'm not sure I would feel safe going to S. Korea with all of the tension with the North.....

Obviously money has something to do with it, and the fact that the team isn't doing well. I think you compile all of that and it is pretty easy to understand why Korea has been delayed.



I think NA or Europe is just fine to train on, if you have great mechanics you should be able to do pretty well. Sure korea is tougher, but I think having value in practice partners you can talk with is potentialy more valuable.


Of course an American would say something so silly....



Typical American bashing.....

I'm really interested to see why IdrA doesn't want to go to Korea. Artosis said he was the only foreigner able to handle the KeSPA regimented training.


He all ready said it's because of money. I see don't IdrA winning tournaments any time soon.


he didn't say just because of money.

He says he doesn't see benefit and witih how the house sound shitty right now (he talked about how stephano did an interview where he was almost in tears with how bad the house was for him) as well as how he said other people said they aren't liking the house because it's just not a good environment.

He also said he did it for 5 years and he was getting sick of it, if he wanted to do something not gaming it was near impossible to do in korea because of the language barrier.

Then he mentioned money as well. He had many reasons and they were all legitimate reasons.


Sorry, But it's not party time in Korea . He has job to do, so he should worry about doing his job . Also, A bunch of other pro players and ex pro foreign players are Korea right now. So, That's no excuse. Oh, And Stephano crying "roll eyes ", please don't when hear about poor Stephano and his whining. Oh, You have a problem with the language barrier? Like us American always say" learn the language". EG_TL is wasting our time doing TL. I'm done watching them.



one thing we can be sure of is that if anyone knows the pros and cons of practicing in korea as a foreigner and wether or not he'd benefit more from it than living his life in the US, its Greg.

I watched latest or second latest where they talked how WOL was stagnated and boring. Still casters promoted how exciting games were. Means that they were just faking it. I guess they need to earn living somewhere...
