Why does he play sc2 then instead of making even more money with poker? 1st off he isn't millionaire 2nd it's not easy to make millions off poker 3rd he plays sc2 cuz it's a lot more fun than playing poker, also much less stressful wait, what? poker is more stressful than sc2? i have a hard time to believe that.. i play poker to relax after some intense sc2 matches^^ but maybe it's more stressful if you play high stakes
obviously if you play poker casually at micro stakes it's just like going out to take a walk, It's more stressful to play poker for a living
there, fixed

People need to stop basing their opinion of players on what that douche IdrA says. He makes it his priority to say that other players are shit. Minigun is a fucking GREAT protoss, and deserves more recognition. Just because IdrA bitches about him doesn't mean he's bad. Goddamn it grinds my gears. Especially because IdrA is a painfully "fine" player, nothing special. Base your opinion of players on watching them play, its the only way you can form a valid opinion of a player. I'm sorry to say it but, IdrA is only the best mechanic of North America, hands down. Give me one player, one single SC2 player that has the same mechanics(or better) as IdrA and you can say anything about him. Not that I agree with what IdrA says, but it pisses me off when people regard him as a "fine" player. Being a prick, a bad mannered person, etc has nothing to do with his skill level. And his skill level has nothing to do with his judgement of other players. Right or wrong, IdrA is the best North American player, mechanic-wise, and one of the best(if not the straight up best - up for discussion) player in NA. Doesn't mean his decision making is any good. You're right, his mechanics are solid, but he is very far from a solid player. I'd say decision making > mechanics.
Far from a solid player? Gee thats a pretty big insult to all the foreigners that placed below him at MLG

A few comments on the pickups and my predictions on their new home:
Steven: I believe Steven won't stay in coL for very long. The organization is going to get a lot of beef from the coL community when Steven pulls his usual antics on stream. Steven now represents an actual organization whom takes pride in their gaming history. I doubt he can handle censoring himself AND represent an actual gaming organization. Hopefully it works out and I'm wrong.
Minigun: I think the only concern that comes to mind is the fact that Minigun refuses to go to a live event. I've heard a few reasons from him, one of which being that he's aerophobic. He also said a few weeks before Columbus that he doesn't think attempting to go through the MLG open bracket is worth the trip. Which is true? Are both true? Who knows. Hopefully whatever it is works out and we see Minigun represent his new team at public gaming events.
CatZ and Drewbie: They'll have a comfortable stay in coL seeing as they're bffs, and probably spent quite some time getting over the notion that they are trying to be their own product. Good luck to them!
Ddoro: who? jk, gl sir!

Funny how the two best players decided not to join, Kiwikaki has seemed a league above the rest of root for a while to be fair.
