Okay...

I mean, if it's that bad, just quit. No one is forcing you to be playing SC2 and if you don't want to, then don't, however, if you do want to, stop whining and make the most out of whatever time you give it. You go around and say everyone is bad and do, apparently nothing but insult and complain. My guess is that attitude is the reason idra and all of team evil geniuses is under performing. You go anywhere with such a goddamned awful attitude, you ought to expect to get shit on by everyone and everything around you. You reap what you sow. So I am sorry idra fans, but inject a little bit of a positive attitude into your lives, and see the difference it makes in yourself and those around you when you do more than sit on your high throne and bitch about how unfair and unbalanced life is.

Sorry, had to get that out. It is unbelievable that, regardless of how good his mechanics are, any company would be willing to sponsor such a whiny, self-entitled, elitist, human. But hey any publicity is good publicity right? As much as I enjoy HuK, iNcontroL, and Demuslim, I cannot ever support EG.

Hates his job? Huh? I'm sure he loves his job/starcraft 2. Probably less than him entertaining us xD
as you do know idra is doing us so we all can laugh, right? Sure he's generally trash talker, cocky and dry and all that but when he streams he's just trying to be funny. And it works :D

He stated several times that he likes the traveling part and the competitiveness of eSports but doesn't like StarCraft2 at all though. By playing the game he loves (BroodWar) he wouldn't be able to live that kind of lifestyle because it is dead outside of Korea. He had enough of the tough practice schedule in Korean progaming and wouldn't be anywhere near the top players there anyway.

It is unwise to trash talk other pro-gamers when your team can hire them in the future as it happened with Huk.

Obvious troll is obvious. I'll bite. It's Idra's schtick to act like a pretentious megalomaniac. And most of what he says is the actual truth. The NA ladder offers very little competition for him. It's filled with a bunch of one/two-basers, all-iners and cheesers who don't know how to play a real game. Granted, the Korean ladder is similar, except for the fact that Koreans do the builds correctly for the most part. They also don't have as terrible of macro or micro like most of those NA players we watched in the video. It's also very relevant that Protoss units are imbalanced situationally in PvZ and it's well known.


I'm really not trying to troll. I don't think that balance or skill of your opponents should ever have anything to do with your own mental attitude. It's just sad to see someone who has a lot of talent waste it by bitching about balance rather than theory crafting. Brood War was around for twelve years, this game has been around for one and is still changing. Not nearly everything that can be done has been. So rather than complain, be proactive. I had a job for years I hated, I quit that to work worse hours for about half the pay, but I took that positive attitude and applied it to other areas of my life to work for something bigger, rather than complain about what I have. I know it's his schtick, and it's why he's popular, but this is what he is doing for a living. Love it or quit, just lose the attitude.

Don't try to post anti idra comments in an idra fanboy thread. The swarm will eat you alive. Btw I agree with you 100%.

I think all the hatred of all races is a culmination of the fact you don't need to do something particularly skillful to take a game off the pros if they are not playing Terran (90%+ winrate guys are ALWAYS Terran). Idra was someone who put his life and soul into being the best at BW where there was a 0% chance for him to lose to a C+ player, being mechanically brilliant with amazing multitask and refined builds. Now, in Starcraft 2, pros lose games to people of equivalent skill of C on iccup and thus it is frustrating for people like Idra who had it sooo hard in the BW days.

If Idra loses to a Korean or someone he respects, he doesn't vent at the race as much if he plays a macro game. Notice he has hatred for BW players who were terrible compared to him but are doing well in SC2 (Mana, Drewbie). Imagine yourself as a 4x4 rubix cube specialist, but suddenly, only 3x3 rubix cube tournaments are around, and people who were clearly awful at 4x4 started winning, you would feel extremely bad as well.

I think Idra feels similarly, because someone of his skill in SC1 wouldn't drop a game to any of those NA ladder noobs on iccup.

Hello, did you allow Millenium.org to use your video ? Because if you didn't, you should know that they uploaded it on their Dailymotion channel, and display it without even mentioning you, just so they could collect the ads money with your work...

IdrA respects really good players (He's not insulting MC when he's losing to him).

To him, Drewbie or TT1 are not good players, even if they are for you. Simple as that
