He's not like-able at all you're fucking delusional. Infact before all you SC2 noobs came around here the vast majority of people disliked him. Now he's looked up by a whole throng of idiots cause he acts like a dick. Not to mention the comparison is poor because IdrA is older and on a more important team yet still acts like a twat constantly. When it comes down to it, i like gosi[terran] for his play and his work ethic, going to Korea seems like a real goal for him that would mean a lot and he's been trying to work his way towards it for YEARS. If there were more truly professionally run teams that have actual communication and you know, were actual teams, it think he would do a lot better. For me it just feels like he wasted a load of time on a joke team that's below his potential. Maybe he'd do well in the Korean environment that others couldn't, i believe he was always known as a mass gamer who isn't bothered about putting the practice hours in - something which a lot of foreigners appear to struggle with these days. I noticed he's even in a very good ELO position on this very sites databases, yet people criticize him and talk about IdrA as some bastion that players should live up to? Newsflash: IdrA coasted on a mechanics advantage against every other foreigner and playing the beta as a pro from the very beginning. He doesn't have an advantage anymore, was never known as a clever/strategic (quite the opposite) player and unsurprisingly is now getting poor results. In a few years you'll be wondering why there was so much fucking hype in the first place. I mean for christs sake he basically had as much mechanics as Nestea (just without the experience), yet look at the difference now. | ||

Oddly enough, this situation is almost the same as when he left root. And if what sixjax says is true, I don't see how major thinks he will survive in korea, there are lots of korean pro's who are better than him yet do not ask for a raise after a mediocre performance at an MLG. As proof of IdrA's incredible value to EG, I will now recite almost all of EG's major sponsors from memory. Intel SteelSeries Kingston HyperEx Monster Energy Drink Jinx Clothing. That is a direct result of IdrA reciting his sponsors like a rap maestro at the end of EVERY appearance or interview he does. | ||

Idra is streaming with commentary to 13k+, representing/hyping his sponsors like a boss and not being kicked off his team. And Terran is still an immature twat-bag that the vast majority of the community loathes. | ||

The only thing that i expect to get watching IdrA's stream is laugh when he rages and BM's and i would expect it attracts viewers. His play isn't interesting at all, it's just about his BM and rage. People just like drama and IdrA delivers it quite often. | ||

The only thing they would be able to do, at most, is prevent him from signing with another team for the duration of the contract. And if they did that, they'd just be dragging out an unhealthy relationship. Make sense? | ||

As long as you watch and care... thats all that matters to Idra, EG and EG's sponsors. Unfortunately for Terran... nobody watches and nobody really cares. | ||

Forget at the suing, I don't think anyone would take competitive gaming seriously in a court in the United States. | ||

I mean for christs sake he basically had as much mechanics as Nestea (just without the experience), yet look at the difference now. Unfortunately for Terran, his skill (which honestly isn't that spectacular) only matters if he can actually represent his team in a fashion that is acceptable to the team's sponsors. It doesn't matter at all how well he plays if he refuses to wear the jersey. There's a certain minimal amount of professionalism and maturity necessary to even function as part of a team, and if sixjax's account of what transpired is accurate, then Terran just doesn't have it in him. Bottom line, either he learns to act like a pro, or he doesn't get sponsored, simple as that. I don't especially like either idra or Terran, but it's very clear to me how valuable the former is to his team, and how completely worthless the latter appears to any managers considering picking him up. | ||
