I don't think it's that terrible of Major to look for another team when a raise is refused. This happens every day in real life. I've switched jobs after being refused a raise before for a job that would give me the money I wanted. My brother has continually switched jobs like this and now has a place that gives him the raises he deserves so he stays. If he hadn't done this, he would easily be making 10k less per year.

I'm not defending his other actions but it's perfectly normal to look for the best option out there. Why would SJ even bring this up as a negative? It's a business.

Are you serious? Idra has done far worse things than that and I doubt anyone wants to ban him from any tournament, in fact people encourage him.

I'm pretty sure that flipping someone off and saying fuck you to someone on the main stage should be punished a lot more than having a dispute at a smaller side stage. Even a die-hard Idra fan would agree that Idra has been more unprofessional at MLG events than Major.

It still blows me away that people are willing to defend this guy. People are apparently so used to the crappy, entitled attitudes of professional athletes in traditional sports that they're willing to give Major a pass here.

ESPORTS is quickly becoming a real and recognized part of what we traditionally consider to be sports, like basketball or football. But unlike traditional sports, where the practices and acceptable behavior of players has already been defined for us by past generations, we have an opportunity to redefine the standards that players should be held to given the relative new-ness of ESPORTS. I think this is particularly important because ESPORTS is still in the process of gaining legitimacy with mainstream audiences.

Major is a part of what people used to think ESPORTS was - just a bunch of kids playing videogames. If we tolerate or encourage childlike behavior, this is what it will continue to be. If we want it to be something more, our perception of this behavior needs to mature.

What my point was, that he should be banned NOT only from MLG, but from every major tournaments for his famous cheating

no. Idra has raged at players, and I'm assuming he's been internally punished for it. However we have never heard of idra swearing at teammates, or refusing to sport his team jersey. If all major had done was swear at other players I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be this big a deal.

I really hope no team signs him ever again. That is so unprofessional I don't even know what to say. MLG should ban or suspend him for that kind of conduct, I'm not sure if there's a three strikes rule and he's on strike one or anything like that.

I don't think it's that terrible of Major to look for another team when a raise is refused. This happens every day in real life.

Isn't he the perfect representative for sixjax, since they are a scam website that cheats people out of their money?

Please read before answering. I think you'd agree that in terms of MLG events Idra has done worse things than Major (i.e. flipping off Huk and MC, swearing at the mainstage etc.)

Major hasn't cheated at MLG events. Should Idra also be banned from MLG?


hey, clever boy. This is what I quoted:

Legitimate question: has Idra ever been given a technical foul at MLG?

I think it's very funny how people compare Major to Idra. Although Idra has been under performing of recent, he is nonetheless still one of the top level foreigners, with many achievements to back himself up. Idra is similar to Major in the sense that he can be unprofessional, mostly for getting frustrated after a loss and venting his anger on his opponent through personal attacks etc.

However, I feel that Idra is way more professional when it comes to his work ethics. He definitely trains hard for his games and he functions well in Team EG. He has also contributed much to the esports scene, bringing much interest into Starcraft 2 due to his outspoken and unique personality, being a host in the Starcraft 2 'show', Inside the Game, and one of the pioneer foreign Starcraft progamers, be it Brood War or Wings of Liberty.

What value has Major on the other hand, created for Starcraft? Although I am not familiar with the Brood War scene, I have heard much about Major being a menace in that scene, jumping from teams to teams and being an asshole. I did a quick check in Liquidpedia to take a look at his achievements in Starcraft 2; he's definitely not one of the 'best' foreigners so as to speak. His results are limited to mini online tourneys, although he did win the Latin Bnet Invitationals.

I'd like to point out that Major isn't BM, he is more than that, he is a blatant asshole. Idra may be considered by some to be 'asshole' by his childish 'rage' antics, but in comparison to what Major does, he is nothing. I'd like to talk about the SEA tourney hosted by Dox which Major fucked up for example. The SEA tourney was a mini online tourney with a prize pool of $500 fully paid for by Dox because he loved Starcraft 2 and he wanted to organize a tournament for the SEA community. Major having interest in taking part in that tournament, went to one of the admins of the tournament to clarify the rules on participation and was told that he could not participate as he was not a member of the SEA community. He then contacts Dox only on the day of the tournament, abusing him for an hour, calling him a 'faggot' and what not for not letting him play, and then goes on to smurf in the tournament, and like a moron, get caught. Showing no remorse for his actions, he proceeds to enter the stream chat for another hour and pick fights with people. A thread in TL was created by a disgruntled audience/participant of the tournament, and Major responded to the harsh reaction from the TL community by calling the SEA community shit and lying about the whole fiasco (it's funny how he blatantly lied about what went on in the chat between him and an admin, when a screenshot was posted showing the whole convo in the original post).

Now for you people who are thinking, what does this have ANYTHING to do with making his sponsors look bad, I'd like to put a quote, one of many such comments made in the thread regarding his behavior.
