What in the blue hell does me joining TL's forums have to do with how long I've been watching and playing Starcraft for? I played Brood War on and off at LAN parties for over 7 years, played Starcraft 2 since release (literally, the day of release) and have been watching tournies at Blizzcon etc for ages.
What's more, since when do I need a qualification to have an opinion? Mind your own damn business.

If you are going to tell others their opinions are wrong, you kinda do need qualification.

What is this I don't even...
If you wanted to pick some Euro players to inflate above IdrA because, well, you're European, you could have tried a little harder. I can name so many better and more accomplished European players that still havn't accomplished as much as IdrA.
Off the top of my head, Stephano, Naniwa, Thorzain and WhiteRa. Boom. But you picked Sjow and DIMAGA? I'm not saying they are bad, but don't even try and compare anybody below the absolute top-tier of foreigners to IdrA
Edit: Ah, I see a lot of people have already replied to your post. Still the more reinforcement you get the better

Its obvious you don't like IdrA, so why do you torture yourself and all of us by coming into a thread talking about how he wants to improve o.o

I wonder if Idra has thanked Boxer for his nickname yet.

Why? Opinion: A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Seriously, there's elitist, and there's just being an asshole; which are you? I lurked for over a year before I actually made an account, and judging by your post, should you even be able to comment? It's an endless cycle of vagueness that nobody can answer, that's why it's free to make an account and post as long as you abide to the TL commandments.
Regardless of how well he'll improve in Korea, it's disappointing to see he's not playing games out on ladder, though it has little to do with hard practice, playing through some cheeses certainly wouldn't be detrimental to IdrA's play >.>

All the best of luck to IdrA, hope that we will be able to see him at the very high consistency level he has always been known for again.

Idra was known for his high consistency level but lately he has fallen a bit.Hopefully his stay in korea will bring back his dominating form again.All the best.

Well, he's not known to adapt quickly. Though he's been better at it in SC2 than in BW. Always liked the details in his play and his solid mechanical style though, great to steal build-orders from if you got good mechanics.
And wtf, u guys joined June/July. You're also newbies here

gl idra I hope the tourney downtime plus the slayers house makes you into the nerd-slaying beast we all know and love

Yeah EG is still sponsored by Steel Series. Players officially under SlayerS are required to use Razer due to sponsorship.

Haha you think when Boxer finds out he'll demand royalties?

I haven't been here long at all and I'm already annoyed by how many people equate time registered on TL and Starcraft skill. Maybe if you all spent less time trolling the forums and more time playing, you'd get promoted.
On topic, I really hope this rounds out IdrA's game and brings him back into form. GL Grack!
