Simple as that as long as his fans don't blindly share his vision, I guess it's ok esp since most of it is kind of an act and just venting | ||

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... Your video on their DM channel and on their website Please keep highlighting this for the OP. Also, excellent video, made me laugh. | ||

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. This. Idra is often found criticizing his own play, or respecting S-class opponents beating him without ridiculous risk-taking. From Idra's perspective, he's dropping games that he shouldn't to players who put in much less work than he does. Moreover, he's getting constantly allined on ladder, and those allins are not polished; thus you cannot make definitive reads on them, you can only play the guessing game in a way that'd give you a good long term win rate. Except that you don't want to have 65% win rate against an amateur who worked on his "creative" suboptimal allin for two days, you want 90%+. However, lately Idra's indeed going way over the top with his comments. Half of the time he does it on podcasts, Incontrol's trolling him about it, and I'd have to say he has a point there. | ||

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. But the likes of Nestea and DRG can solve the said 3x3 cube in less than half the time. Idra would probably spend the first 5 seconds fumbling around before throwing it into the bin, while muttering "This is awful." You can't expect yourself to be taken seriously if you're playing a different game while applying the same set of principles to it and expect everyone else to adhere to it and judge others by the same standards. That being said, I'd guess that Idra's commentary was more for entertainment than anything else. | ||
