Greg Field's "Cool Image" leave international fans "shocked"

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"(?).

In the end Idra gave MC 4 games and ended up 4th.



MC outskilled idra during those 4-0 games...

you can't possibly be saying that idra lost four games INTENTIONALLY(correct me if im wrong).

...Must be joking right?


I think IdrA is good enough to know if hes winning or losing.

Idra has left due to hallucinations before....hes very good, but the nut riding gets tiring after a while seriously...

And i would think that if you were being paid to throw a match for match fixing that youd do it in a more subtle manner

I was very disappointed with idra's attitude during the tournament. Whether he was winning at that point in the game or not doesn't matter to me. But the fact that he would quit at even the slightest hint of a disadvantage in this game against MMA and in his games against MC is extremely unfortunate. Some of the most exciting games are comeback games and the fact that we will never see idra win from behind with this attitude is sad, to be honest.

I'm not the biggest idra fan myself but I think it's a disservice to those who are that he gg's so quickly.

I am a huge idra fan but I have to say that I am very disappointed in his mental strength. You have to keep playing and be positive, not everyone is perfect. You can't count out the possibility of the opponent doing a mistake when hes ahead. There is always a chance of the other guy fucking up!

Even if you don't have hope, atleast play a game that is ENTERTAINING FOR YOUR FANS AND ALSO YOUR OPPONENT'S FANS. This can be seen in the MC games where he tried roach ling all in 3 times in a row. at that point it seemed as if idra just gave up.

Idra, as fans we really support you and we know you have great decision making skills but ffs man, stop having the mentality that you can't win. as a fan, i'm hugely disappointed especially after idra's remarkable 1st day run on MLG.

Did Idra know that he had all of his drones at his natural right clicked on his nat extractor and that they didn't die to the drop? That could have been a huge factor in his bizarre GG.

It would be the worst attempt at Match Fixing, ever.

I beg to differ, IdrA has almost anti-Fantasy gg timings so I don't think anyone would ever suspect if he pulls it off again, most people would go like "Oh another IdrA gg timing!" or something like that

All this I mean as a joke. I don't believe for a second that IdrA would ever try to fix his matches.

Well, I don't want to take anything away from MC because he truly is the best P in the world but IdrA all-in'ed just because, no real thought behind it and from the "zerg isn't supposed to beat protoss" comment you can tell he was tilted, really tilted. Hell, even from the "2-0" comment I was able to tell that. And no, it isn't because I'm a fanboy or any of that sort, simple training in emotion and facial expressions will teach you that. So, the impression that IdrA gave away the first three matches is more accurate than what you'd like to believe.

Edit: Guy below me. They also played at DH invitational where Greg threw the second game with a 6-pool in Xel' Naga Caverns after botching game one in Metal, where some people argue he had an advantage.

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.



How is MC his rival? theyve played each other in 2 series if you count MLG extended as one.

Idra is just really passive aggressive. "Well, zerg sucks... I might as well not even try cause the games' broken." Just like how he did the stupid allins against MC.

What the hell put him so on tilt though? He had won every match except against Thorzain, so weird.

Idra acts confident but the truth is that he isn't

whenever he plays against a player he perceives as equally skilled or better than him, there is a very thin line between him playing to win and him finding a reason to leave the game

people should be familiar with these type of quotes from Idra

"I would have lost if player was good"
"player played badly. I should have lost."

Idra has been known for this for a long time. In TSL 2 (BW) he accidentally canceled his command center building at his natural while it was getting harassed by a probe. He instantly gg'd. In the GSL against Jinro's bunker rush ramp block close positions on metalopolis, he GG's, didn't even try to break it. Against huk he had the game won and GG'd because of a bunch of hallucinated void rays. In this very MLG he GG'd against MC's cannon rush, he had his nat up and was able to make lings to counter mc's base but he just gg'd. These are major events, these are not games anyone should just be giving away.

Idra has no heart, no resilience, he rolls over and quits at the first sign of an uphill battle. If he were MMA he would have GG'd when he killed his own OC. I was a fan for a while, but I feel like Idra has become more of a spectacle than a competitor. He's good, but he acts like a 10 year old sometimes. He gives up when things get tough, he goes on tilt and whines when he looses, he gives people the finger, and that is why he is so popular. The most disappointing thing is he has so much skill and talent.

If Idra had a never say die attitude, was full of determination 100% of the time. Accepted his losses with dignity, he would probably be the most feared opponent in starcraft. But his attitude, approach to the game, and mental state are holding him back from dominating. I would love to see him change and reach his full potential, but after a few years of seeing this I think it may be deeply ingrained in who he is.

It was very strange but i find it hard to believe that idra would be this 'dispassionate' to throw games away. In gsl it seems like a lot of players will stay in a game thats over because they want so bad to win and idra is the opposite, even if hes behind why wouldnt he try to battle back? And artosis will say its because he doesnt want to deal with the mental stress and anger of that but still.. these ggs were just rediculous
