Nobody ever does that in real sports... those underdogs are still full time professional players in fields with much deeper and more developed talent pools than a 1 year old esport. meh come on it's irrelevent, you'd do this even if SC2 had been around for 10 years how many top flight bw pros did i legitimately call bad? i say legitimately because someone will point out how i said free's micro wasnt actually micro, but on the whole ive always respected good players. the structure of esports and particularly sc2 means that im playing with and occasionally competing with people who are actually bad by objective standards. and the design of sc2 means its possible for them to beat me through no merit of their own.
I honestly don't know about your entire history of calling people bad, I just know you tend to call people bad on the fly based on your emotions
particularly huk.. and then you changed your mind when he joined ur team

So you dont have to respect sc2 players because the talent pool isnt as deep. Then what makes Idra better than that lowly talent pool in sc2 which he is part of btw? That he is a fulltime player? He doesn't even respect all the other fulltime players. There is no logical reasoning behind his BM. It's just BM and venting. Personally i don't even care about it, but dont make it out to be something it isnt.
Idra just say's shit without thinking. We all have our weaknesses.
Anyway's OT: The vid was pretty cool.

That video made me laugh, Idra is so funny. I understand why he says these funny things, and I like the guy.

Didn't even notice who i was quoting. Sry for the third person then.

Not sure how many of you guys follow poker. Idra has always reminded me of Phil Helmuth. Phil Helmuth's view of poker is "If it weren't for luck, I'd win 'em all". Idra has a similar mentality. "If it weren't for every build that isn't considered 'standard' I'd win 'em all". Also both tend to rage and are pretty BM. It's always made me laugh both when Phil Helmuth does/says stuff and when Idra does/says stuff.

IdrA is actually better at what he does than phil hellmuth though
hellmuth is very delusional about his "skills", I'm hoping most of it is just an act

Are you kidding? His record certainly tells a different story. Skills or no skills, the man is unquestionably accomplished.

i referenced huk as the proper way to play pvz on itg or sotg quite a while before he joined eg

so basically this is frowned upon on teamliquid but when Bomber treats a player with such freaking disrespect (MLG games vs DRG) and hes a baller god. give me a break. at least Idra isnt doing it in a negative way.

you still called him horrible after you lost to him more than once, as I said, you make these statements when you're mad
