Well after reading so many nonsense posts all I gotta say is there is some maturing to do for some of us community members. If you don't know who she is, then you should really reserve judgement until you go watch her stream or see her @ tournaments. Okay, time for breakfast.. <3 | ||

But this is a retarded comment, you have to agree with me there. This guy deserves a ban at least as much as the people he's responding to. | ||

Maybe he wouldn't ask every pro that joins a team. Maybe just the females, so what? He might want to know if she is better or worse than the other female pro gamers. Maybe he wants to know if she is GM or high master, or if she is in low master, he might think "hmm.. maybe I would have a chance against her" in a game. That's atleast what I think when I ask that question. EDIT: Forgot, Gratz flo and quantic :3 Great to see the female scene growing. Fighting! | ||

that + the sexism, her skill level is probably pretty low compared to someone like Naniwa, but still shes in Quantic, some people might not like that) I've seen teams in all types of games do this before, WoW mostly. | ||

First series I recall seeing is him losing 1-2 to Trap in the Gom Classic, and then he was part of that list of players that included Tossgirl and the old legends (Boxer, Yellow, Reach, etc.) whom we always looked for in the offline prelims but kept losing in the first round. Anyway, why do you believe there's "no question" that he was better than those players? His TLPD entry gives him an 8-20 record, Flying is 85-83 (over 50%), hyvaa is 156-151 (over 50%) and Juni is 99-120. And they've played some high calibre players too. Hell, Pokju was 38-38. Unfortunately, I never really followed the players who didn't have televised matches (because, well, they didn't have televised matches) so I really don't have any way to measure his performance on a fair metric. Given that you are apparently more knowledgeable than I, can you explain to me where your certainty comes from? Okay: the only one I'm absolutely certain Idra was better than is Juni. Juni is (arguably) the worst A-team Zerg in several years. While he's won some games, he's a poor enough player that I assume he's an auto-loss for KHAN whenever he comes out. The defining moment for me was a playoff game (08-09 season) vs. Hwasin which went down like this: Hwasin bunker-rushed, but placed the bunker too far away from the hatchery and didn't noticed till it was complete. Juni squashed the bunker and countered to Hwasin's nat. Hwasin hadn't yet expanded: Juni then proceeded to lose the game. (Here's the VOD.) I suppose you could say that's actually a lot like some of idra's blunders that we've seen, but my point is that Juni's still good enough that he gets A-team games regularly (to the despair of KHAN fans). hyvaa came to mind because he's a player very like Idra in style, in that he's dangerous in a macro game. hyvaa's early-game is notoriously weak, while he's nearly brilliant if you let him get his Hive tech up. His first games were a series of ZvPs which he ended up playing almost like ZvT: delay, delay, delay, defiler-lurker-ling. Flying... Flying started hot but has never particularly impressed me apart from occasional PvZ brilliance. As for your stats: Flying is 54-44 offline (qualifiers and Dream League), but in the televised leagues he's 23-35, not quite 40%. hyvaa's similar: 80-56 in offlines, 70-89 in the regular leagues. Juni's 56-62 offline, 31-50 in regular leagues. Yes: idra's record is worse than those. 6-16 offline, 2-4 in the one standard event (GOM). But he was good enough to take games off pros – Shuttle, Jaehoon – who are now A-team players. I believe that while he may have gotten some "favoritism" to actually make the team, in the end he was held back: as a "foreigner" and an "older player", his team wouldn't want to take the risk of playing idra enough to truly develop him as a Korean league player. This was compounded by the fact he was with eSTRO, which was struggling anyway and then badly hurt by the betting scandal (and folded at the end of the season). Even though management took the risk of bringing in a foreign player, they had to show results. If there were a stronger team that had picked up foreign players who stayed for a while, then we might have seen them play. | ||

There isn't a good casual term for adult females, since "gal" just sounds really stupid, and that sucks. False dichotomy--you don't call them "men" either, usually. You call them "guys". | ||
