Boxer wouldn't stay in the team house. Other older and accomplished progamers (Nestea, Nada) don't stay in team houses, they just go there to practice, which is basically the same thing if you manage it right. | ||

Ah yes, I misread his comment, however I believe BoxeR might actually be living in the Team House, as he's not a player (a la NaDa or NesTea) but more of a coach/father figure. | ||

BoxeR is not an active player? He's participated in almost all GSL's to date, as well as several foreign tournaments. He's certainly a father to his team, but also a very active and dedicated player. (Edits): Er. Something on topic? It's great to see Idra back in Korea. I don't like him a lot, but he's got a lot of skill and a very... uncompromising attitude. He's much like Naniwa, only more rude. I hope he does well! As someone mentioned, playing a lot of inhouse games versus the very earlygame-aggressive SlayerS players should help him out. If his 'mental' improvements stick, and he gets a lot of strong korean practice, I can easily see him becoming the strongest foreigner again. It's going to be fun to watch. | ||

Most Korean pros do some sort of physical exercise, I know for a fact SlayerS plays soccer, as well as frisbee. They even did it when they were in Atlantic City for IPL 3 | ||

I hope the SlayerS terrans' TvZ gets good as well; Idra is weak to early game cheesey plays but his strong macro game should be good enough for MMA Ganzi Ryung Boxer etc to practice against. | ||

I've never been as enthusiastic towards a non korean staying with a korean pro team in terms of how much the player will improve. I'm always quite skeptical, the only other time I've been confident it would pay off exponentially like this was naniwa. I really would be disappointed if IdrA didn't vastly improve while living with Slayers. He has all of the tools now, top notch training partners for all match-ups and an environment that breeds success. I look forward to seeing IdrA 2.0. | ||

However, Idra is amazing too. And he can most assuredly outwork Stephano who has confessed to having a very poor practice schedule. That being said, Idra would benefit a ton from emulating some aspects of Stephano's play. Imagine if you will an Idra that could easily switch between Stephano's style and his own. Talk about scary. Idra's style is scary good but predictable and at certain points exploitable; Idra either looks unstoppable or very weak as a result. The games in which his opponents cannot find holes in his game, he dominates, but when he is figured out he generally will drop a series in spectacular fashion. Adding another viable play-style makes him that much harder to exploit and gives him options on maps that are unfavorable for one style and better for the other. Just look at how much Terran benefits from their variety in their play-styles. Instead of calling Stephano's mineral/zergling heavy play gimmicky, he should master it, even improve it where he can. Even if it is gimmicky and only 90% as effective as your current strategy, being able to throw it out on occasion makes your standard play stronger. I also feel like he could benefit seriously from some forced changes to his mechanics. I don't think he's taking full advantage of changes in SC2 as far as unit control and management are concerned. It's kinda like Sheth's insistence on playing with the keyboard in his lap, someone needs to force him to change his bad habits. Idra and Sheth get away with bad habits because they both have really good control. I'd be willing to bet that Idra's play would improve significantly if he just spent some time forcing himself to adopt a more efficient custom hotkey setup and started hotkeying eggs the same way Stephano does. Seriously watch Stephano and you can see the difference. He doesn't move faster than Idra per say, or even more accurately. But he never wastes time selecting units at a rally point. He never has to think about where his units are. He's using the SC2 interface much better than Idra is. Seriously, ctrl-clicking eggs and adding them immediately to a hotkey group frees up a ton of APM and ensures all your units are always participating in fights. Tricks like these are easy changes to make and have a huge impact on performance. But anyhow, I'm sure this sounds silly; a relative noob giving advice to one of the best players in the game. I'm sure Idra knows what he needs to do. I just very much want to see him dominate. Anyhow feel free to ignore this Adderall-fueled rant. Here's to hoping Idra will win WCG and start crushing face like he should! Go Idra! Edit: Wow forgot to say anything about how awesome it is that he's at Slayers! Egh... time to go to sleep... so i can wake up for WCG! Haha. | ||

He had rivalries with Clide, Zenio, Ensare, oGsGon to name a few. Chances of him "learning his manners" and how to "respect" are very slim. | ||

Of course, I wonder what the SlayerS Terrans are going to do for IdrA? IdrA is already probably the best macro zerg in the world ZvT especially now that the Raegu is not the monster we once knew him as. I think he needs more help with his ZvP and ZvZ, something I'm not sure SlayerS can provide too much of/as much of compared to other teams. Still, it IS Korea, and a full roster of powerhouse players compared to EG's mere three should give him some improvement anyways. | ||

Think of early game cheese as a sort of poison for the likes of Idra, repetitive death to SlayerS early game aggression ought to result in at least some sort of tolerance. Either way, gonna be a great setup, hope to see some damn good streaming. This was a rather funny post. The best to Idra, hopefully korea will do him good unlike those other pros "who are wasting their time" kekek | ||

With no other evidence to go off of, we can assume that A: Jedigamer bought 1 hour of practice from idra and then somehow did not pay, or that idra is a complete liar and is trying to extort money out of jedigamer on stream. I go with the logical possibility, and you accuse idra of being a liar and/or criminal while calling me names for not jumping to the same conclusion as you. | ||

Idra had just beaten Jedigamer in a 10-minute game. Jedigamer, however, being terran, turtled for another 25 minutes until Idra was finally able to finish him off. The $100 was potential ad revenue. | ||

Well can't blame idra for that hone honestly, jedigamer is a giant douche bag that extended a game he had no chance of winning just to be annoying, he deserves no respect as he gives none himself. But im sure peterblue will come back and call me an idra fan boy and call idra a douche and derail the thread some more. | ||

So, extending a game makes someone a douchebag, but telling someone to kill themselves doesn't? Great double standard. And yeah you clearly are an idra fan boy, and he clearly is a douche. | ||

I dont see him making friends with anyone in slayers.. did he make any friends when he was on a BW team? Never heard.. he was always purposely left out by the koreans but he seemed to withstand through it all. He got any pro-gamer friends? (Korean Pro-gamers that is) He's got numerous Korean Pro-gamer friends, apparently. Idra's douchebaggery is basically inflated heavily by the internet armchair crowd, while almost everyone that's met him says that he's actually a nice guy in person. | ||

He's a douche I guess I have never met him in real life. Is he a douche online? Sure but to call someone a douche on their online how they act sometimes will guess that makes most people douches lol. So far from everyone that says that have met Idra say he's actually a cool nice guy in real life so whatever. I definitely think you are a douche bag though if we are judging from how people act online ^_^. | ||

Almost everything you said is false. If you have no clue, don't feed people the wrong information. This happened a week ago and jedi gamer DOES NOT owe idra money. Jedigamer wasn't even rude in that game, the game started off with a simple glhf from both sides. Both your "assumptions" deduction skills are awful. How the hell you came up with "idra is a complete liar and is trying to extort money out of jedigamer on stream" as the only alternative still baffles me. I can get my 10 year old cousin to come up with better logic -_____- First of all 1 hour = $300 for idra (source:gosucoaching). So, Idra got angry after the game b/c jedigamer was playing this abusive turtle mech style which lasted something like 30-40 minutes. The game should have ended 15 minutes earlier, but it is really hard to break a 200/200 mech army. Idra threw 2 waves of broodlords, ultras, and constant tech switches to break him. Finally idra broke jedigamer's defense and won the game. You could see throughout the game that he was really, really frustrated. After the game finished idra messaged him saying that. Since there were something like 10k viewers at the time, I assume idra was pissed that jedigamer wasted his time and money. "300$/hour coaching 100$/hour practice" - gosucoaching.com there was the $100 assumption. Again since the pic was posted with no explanation and even the guy posting it had no clue what it was about, my assumption was a fair one until someone else came inn and explained what actually happened. | ||

People act like their true selves when they can't be hurt by their own actions. This is why the best way to judge a girlfriend is to see how they treat waiting staff. | ||

I would've never known without having been told the context. I don't see how you can attempt to keep making this same pointless argument. And no sorry you are definitely not a fan and you are trying to put him down since all you keep saying is that he is a douchebag, even when being proven wrong about that because everyone who has ever met him in person will attest to how nice he actually is.

Pure garbage of a post that could lead to a lot of misunderstandings. But to be realistic, when it comes to an IdrA thread, this kind of trolling and hate is bound to happen. Same when IdrA wins.. the annoying fanboys come out as well. | ||

But he was Code S because of those qualifications and how he did in the open seasons. Hopefully he makes it into code S, foreigners get viewers. | ||

Idra get's angry losing people like everyone else does, he's jut not afraid to say it. Stop acting like who someone is in a situation in which they just lost a game they felt they should have won after literally thousands of hours of practice, is who they are. People are products of their situation. Idra just doesn't like losing, period, and to top it off, more often than not he will straight up just play up his character for drama. | ||

I'm sure easy money with nno korean competition might've been a part of it, but it was also that he wanted to help grow esports outside of korea, and having a big name like idra constantly competing definitely is a way to help it grow. | ||

One could argue that any practice, even practice against those who are not the best, is good. "B-Team" players should be playing "A-Team" (like MR. T for example) players, sure, but if one is not available they should definitely play each other. Also, and this is me assuming here, I don't think that someone who is not privy to the specifics of the situation (perhaps you are and I don't know) should comment on it too much. We don''t know how much EG is spending on the individual players, how much those individual players are necessarily improving by being in the house, or whether or not the financial investment is "warranted". Also, and this is the last one I swear, it makes PERFECT sense to send your best players to play and train with the best. | ||

IdrA is still the most accomplished foreigner in the world. Are you drunk? No he is not! Not even close! If he wasn't ragequitting every third game he would be on a level of ~Sjow or DIMAGA. He wins some small tourneys but loses to 95% of top-players. HuK is the only foreigner who won Major Tourneys and showed some skill in GSL. | ||

While Jinro was better than him during most of 2010 and early 2011, Jinro has been slumping hard. Huk has risen past Idra, but Idra remains relevant and a top player. | ||

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.

At least that's what i can assume. And no, quitting the game earlier than "usual" has no impact on his game whatsoever. Please, get a clue. I don't care what day9 or whoever else says, it's pretty clear he was, most of the time, already losing (Yes that includes the game on Testbug against MMA, or that game vs HUK on metalo). | ||

If you are going to tell others their opinions are wrong, you kinda do need qualification. the TL joining date has clearly nothing to do with qualification. If he has been following esports or idra in the last years and now thinks its the time to open up his mind on that topic its perfectly alright. I think your posts are a bit more of a disqualification than his. @Topic: I think Idra can improve alot. Maybe his results in big tournaments will become m | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong... I'm correcting you as your wrong. In terms of earning of foreigners it goes, Stephano (75k), HuK (60k), Naniwa(57k), Sen(53k) then Idra (50k) White-Ra is paid more than any of them in salary. Due to multiple personal sponsors that pay well. And Idra's salary will be no where near HuK's. | ||

Idra salary could be higher or lower than Huk.Dun be a dumbass and say Idra salary is nowhere near Huk. Sponsors go for the team that brings the most attention and fame.Idra which is known as a BM player and also an accomplished player brings a lot of viewership to the team due to his ridiculous fan club. Idra could be the highest paid foreigner but i feel that he is totally overrated. | ||

My point however was, that I think that IdrA can compensate this by having a higher salary than for example Sen or Naniwa. Didn't somebody state that EG is by far the richest clan? But of course the height of their salary isn't public, so this discussion probably is redundant anyway and mere speculation. | ||

Now you're twisting my words What I was saying is, that if it's true that EG has the most money, than it doesn't seem too far-fetched to assume, that the salary they pay is higher than what other clans do. And the recent transfers from top players to EG (HuK, Puma, etc...) seem to rather support my point than to contradict it. I didn't say that nobody cares about tournament wins, I was just pointing out, that those alone don't represent the actual income of a player, and since we don't know their salary, it's wrong to claim that for example Sen is more succesful than IdrA just because he has won 3.000$ more at tournaments. | ||

What's more, since when do I need a qualification to have an opinion? Mind your own damn business. It's a pretty damn rule of thumb and I wasn't wrong was I? You have played it for a while and watched some tournaments but it sounds like you didn't follow the BW scene very much. Playing for years has nothing to do with your post. You said Idra isn't known for being able to adapt. That sentence construction does not imply an opinion. You didn't say, "I don't think Idra is known for being able to adapt" or "in my opinion Idra doesn't adapt very well." When you say what a player is known for it implies a consensus of view among multiple people. If I said Kobe Bryant isn't known for being a good shooter I could not defend that position because it is not an opinion of my own I'm saying it's an opinion of many. But please get really defensive. It always helps your argument. On December 09 2011 22:43 RaiZ wrote: Not sure to understand his post either. I mean, he even "joined" TL one month later than you... Ironic much ? Not at all but I can see you didn't understand what I as trying to say. I never made any definitive claims on Idra's ability to adapt. All I said is when someone does make a claim about a player that has been playing SC2 for more than a year and BW for many before then they should probably have been around for his career before they say he isn't known for being able to adapt. | ||
