His matches in the beta king of the hill got me into SC2. | ||

He spends most of his time playing Smashcraft (an insanely cool sc2 custom game) with his clan Sync EDIT: Make no mistake, Silver is still a decent player, easily better than me, but not pro gaming level | ||

This is a perfect example of being an IdrA sheep.

I think its good to have your own opinions once in a while and look at results and players objectively instead of parroting what IdrA says. Almost every person who IdrA calls terrible are people who he has lost to at some point and he just doesnt have the humility to accept that he got outplayed by them. He even called people like KiwiKaKi, MarineKing, Nestea , HuK and NaNiwa terrible at some points of time, and they are all better players than him (except for maybe KiwiKaKi) and have better results than him as well. Idra's called most of Korea bad, what's your point? No need to bash him in a thread that doesn't warrant it. | ||

Hmm.. I didn't follow the SC2 scene in the beginning, but all the games I've seen from Madfrog he played as Zerg. Perhaps he switched races..? As far as I know he worked as a prison guard all the time he played SC2, that's perhaps why his results weren't that impressive (but I liked his style). Then to commit full time to SC2 he demanded a higher salary from SK, but due to his results they didn't want to reach his expectations.. Kinda sad, I'm pretty sure he would have became one of the top Europeans. Silver was an abusive Terran player, I don't know if he still plays. MadFrog played Zerg, I remember he was one of the first Zerg's I watched when I was discovering the SC2 pro scene. Him, Idra, Silver, TLO, and HuK Ooops.. thought he was speaking about Madfrog not Silver. Sorry for that! | ||

Silver was a really smart kid who didn't have his heart in pro-gaming, it had nothing to do with 'not being good enough'. Under that criteria half of EG should stop wasting their time and quit as well. | ||

Everyone exploited the shitty map pools back in the day. Omg jinro what a fucking scrub double bunker idras ramp close spawns on metal!!!! Im getting really tired of north american bw pros getting a easy ride because they're known names...when theres people who if only given the chance would pour their heart into the game(not talking about silver). And not " im so good i dont need to practise ill wait til everyone catches up"...lol howd that work out for you... edit: or the whole " the money is in the foreign scene so we dont need our players to be in korea" even tho everyone knew that koreans would start showing up in foreign events and shit on everyone | ||

He was a gimmicky scrub, and Idra hit the nail on the head when it came to him. The only thing Idra constantly gets right is that his fans are retarded. Idra gets cut so much slack when he underperforms that it's infuriating to see him shit on other players. Nevermind the fact that he keeps his little mouth shut about the extremely lackluster performances of many of his teammates. Everyone likes to pretend that Idra's some guy who calls it like he sees it, but he's just another reactionary asshole half the time. User was temp banned for this post. | ||
