Greg Field's "Cool Image" leave international fans "shocked"
Greg Fields <Idra> who attended MLG Columbus playing Starcraft 2 shocked all his fans with his "Cool image". The reason for easily giving up a game he had a big lead.
During the Semi Finals against MMA, Idra overwhelmed MMA's tanks and marines with his zergling, baneling, mutalisk and the fans rejoiced expecting Idra to take the game. However, during the attack Idra abruptly gg'ed and left the game leaving everyone in the audience speechless for over 10 seconds.
Idra had a sure advantage, and the only marines were in Idra's natural harassing. Also, MMA accidentally destroyed his Command Center in his gold expansion making the GG even more shocking.
The reason why Idra gg was because he mistakenly thought he was at a disadvantage. Due to this shocking incident, Idra came up on twitter trend and online communities exploded with comments.
MMA advised Greg Fields to "be positive" in his interview following the easy win.
Idra's "Cool image" carried through his games against OGsMC. After his games with MMA, he would GG after each of his attack failed and showed his "cool image"(?).
does anyone know the specific reason why idra left? i remember reading someone saying that he thought mma killed all the drones at his expo, but they were actually all clumped up at the gas and thats why he left
IdrA seems like his own worst enemy most of the time. I respect the guy and he definitely played phenomenally this weekend, but I swear he kills himself more often than his opponents do... O_O
I really like this change from IdrA. He used to be the guy who acted like a little child by raging after every lost. Now, as shown by MC's actions towards him, his opponents are actually the ones being rude assholes. IdrA looked way more professional and awesome when he said 'gg' after every loss, including the four games he lost in a row to his rival.
If there is one thing he needs to work on, it's his confidence.

saw gold CC being (re)built, didn't scout that that was the 3rd, thought that it was the 4th, thought he was wayyyyy behind with no forces, gg's out.

It has been said Idra thought MMA was taking his 4th base at the gold instead of his 3rd. Idra felt that because of MMA's harass, and Idra losing his banelings to tanks, Idra thought he was significantly behind, so he left. I'm not sure if this is true, but this what I heard from others.
Once IdrA gets on tilt all it takes is one drop on him, one failed attack by him, one harassment gone wrong by him, or one of his bases lost at a key time to set him off to GG.
Ya Idra had no way of knowing that MMA killed his own orbital so he thought the gold building was a 4th. He also sent all the drones at his natural to a geyser during the drop, but mistakenly thought they all died when he looked back, since all the drones overlap lining up for the geyser. Thinking he was behind economically, and having just lost all his banelings, he thought he was behind and figured MMA was too good to lose once he's ahead.
Idra thought wrong and left too soon, but that's Idra.

...Must be joking right?
I think IdrA is good enough to know if hes winning or losing.
IdrA said he would have been dead if MMA had a round of marines coming, which he would have if he hadn't killed his OC. At least that's what I remember reading. Looking at the VOD Idra only had a small amount of mutas and zerglings, and looks like he would have been dead if MMA had been rallying marines to his base.

Right clicked drones to gas which clumped them up leaving him to think all his drones were dead. He thought MMA had the gold for a long time, which he didn't obviously lololol. I think he thought there were more marines than there actually were.
I still don't know why he would leave, IdrA himself had a fully saturated gold.
maybe he did it to create buzz in the esports scene to make it more appealing (helping the growth of esports)? if he is willing to sacrifice the money then maybe
