Saying stuff like you're "Fucking retarded" or "should go kill yourself" is ridiculously immature. It's kind of funny that the people that are so "retarded" are the ones that win against IdrA. If a retarded person beats you, what does that make you? IdrA is definitely NOT retarded, it's just annoying how he carries on and makes it hard to respect the guy. He doesn't seem to handle loss very well, and do you know who else can't handle losing games? Pre-pubescents. As horrible as losing can be some times, you gotta shake it off. I'm not telling IdrA to change, he's been doing it for most of his pro-gaming career and you can't break that habit easily and why would he do it when he has so many fans and money to live on anyway? Good luck to him and his career, but people are allowed to be offended when someone tells them to kill themselves or that they're fucking retarded for no reason other than the fact that you've won fair and square. Yes, every win is fair as long as you aren't hacking or breaking the physics of the game in some way. If you can't hold an all-in, that's YOUR fault. In regards to what bkrow mentioned, I think that you gotta take everything you get told on the Internet, BM or otherwise (including this post, lol) with a grain of salt. It's the Internet, most people are only a small push away from keyboard-warrior-tough-guy when they're behind the screen. But of course you're allowed to be offended when someone says things like that to you, and no it's not immature to be offended when BM that can be compared to raging 12 year olds comes from an adult. Would you take it from someone if they were in person? Although I agree with the rest of your post, these type of sayings HAVE TO STOP. You can easily lose to retarded/noob people while being the better player by far. This is a game of imperfect information, you have to make assumptions every now and then based on the limited information you have. If people are absolutely shit at this game, they may end up doing something which would lose against everything, EXCEPT what you were doing. A great example of this is a 1gate hidden expo with hallucinated units to scare the Terran. A retard may not even react to the immortals and units, even though he has no way of telling them apart from the real ones, and just salvage his bunkers and go attack you - certain death if you were doing a 3gate robo. There are countless examples of this. Yes, you can lose to people with the only factor being that you are good and that he is bad. | ||

Anyone who plays well and doesn't cheat deserves support, anything else related to "mannerisms" is your own digression that people shouldn't try to push on others on forums. Too bad his personality and attitude carry over into the game and fuck him over. | ||

If 99,9% of his opponents are retards/terrible, he can't be happy when he wins (because it was to be expected) and should feel crushed when he loses (how could I lose against retards!?!). Even if it's just in the back of his head, just subconsciously.... this is not a winner's mentality. And obviously, as roughly 1000 people before me have pointed out - this is what's truly holding him back. | ||

Would you take it from someone if they were in person? not true at all. you can be worse can edge out a win in this game, you have to be retarded to think the better player always wins. people at the top of competition aren't any different. i guarantee if you put a mic behind everyone's comments while they play the game, you would be surprised, especially at the highest level. this isn't only in games, its in real sports as well -- there is constant shit talk on the game floor. even people with rather clean images -- Jordan comes to mind, were notorious shit talkers. | ||

I mean if you look at recent IdrA: gg's all around at MLG (even to MC, whom he has been at odds with AND Boxer who cheesed him 4 straight games) TotalBiscuit even said that IdrA and he had made up, and IdrA was no TB fan. Many of the early GG problems have been slowly disappearing since slightly before IEM Guangzhou... When I watch this, I don't go, wow thats a disturbed buy, or that guy is infantile. I go haha lol. Maybe I am infantile too, but I will shit on people when talking to my friends on Skype while in game. -.- I mean by this point its half persona, half habit... | ||

Most of his fanbase are comprised of people who just want to see a player call another retarded. His fanbase doesn't want to see him compliment players, they just want him to say "hurr he's bad and retarded" whether he wins or loses. | ||
