Still thinks he was overrated :D Abusing the cliff on Lost tempel, and close pos metalopolis 1 base mech allin. If thats some kind of overwhelming skill, heck. I dont know what skill is anymore. I bet you think still is macroing your opponent to death. Actually, its winning games, in whatever way. Who wouldn't abuse the cliff on lost temple and close positions on metalopolis? The point of SC2 is to win, and if doing those strats give him the best win percentage, you can't blame Silver. Idra just likes to blame his defeats on opponents being "abusive". | ||

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 i dont think i ever heard idra bash on stephano? hes mannered up quite a bit. and everyone abuses shitty maps now. you think XNC is balanced? LOL. and they JUST removed close spawns from maps. by NA BW pros you mean... idra? 0.o he was really the only good one. no one has gotten an 'easy ride' because they were known. they had connections and knew people, so when SC2 came out, they were simply 1 step ahead. they didnt practice less just because other people needed to 'catch up'. BW players had an advantage, yeah, but it was by no means 'easy'. actually, most foreign players didnt go to korea to play because they couldnt. kespa is annoying like that, you need all kinds of paperwork to get deeply involved in something like GSL. | ||

Two sides, same coin both suck. Remember Masq? I played a 1v1 obs with him and he still seems to be playing around masters level. No real notability except beating IdrA. | ||

What are you talking about? Right after Stephano won IPL, Idra said he thought Stephano was a 'gimmicky' player whose style would be 'figured out'. Which in and of itself is ridiculous because Stephano has more far more playstyles than one-note macro. Lo' and behold, his fans begin spouting the same bullshit. Idra is pretty transparent. | ||

No real notability except beating IdrA. well i don't get the hate on silver or anyone idra has hated really. the average community member is more like the people idra raged on in the beta (maybe still now), potential up and comers w/ inferior mechanics and no established name. if you were to go into a game and beat idra as an unknown with a cheesy strat (or any overpowered build in idra's opinion), esp in the beta, you would probably get verbally shit on w/ lines of text. | ||

he laddered just as much as kas back then he would of been a top player if he kept playing tbh. he just didnt give it enough time. look at grubby now really showing his potential and giving us a little peak into how bloody good hes going to be in a year or two. 2nd at IesF 1st gigabyte cup beating happy 4-1 knocked out of the MSI cup the other day but beat kas 2-1(dont think hes ever beaten kas before and kas is boss at tvp) 4th at eswc all in the last month he has bee improving dramatically. not just results wise you can actually see it in his play. his force fields are so fucking good now as well. | ||
