IdrA probably didn't show his best games there, but its stupid to hate on him. Taeja is very very good Terran player and I think Terran is the strongest race / race that can profit the most from playing it very good. You just cannot do as much stuff and gain as much with Zerg , but with Terran you can. It is very hard to play but if you are as good as Taeja... this is how it looks, even vs very good Zergs. Stop the hate, ggs. Looking forward to the next games. | ||

Yes IdrA lost to NesTea in two garbage games and went down to Lucky after lucky had a roach hydra timing that countered his mutas. In my opinion however IdrA demonstrated Macro v. Lucky and Micro v. Nestea that is at least Code A calibre. Why must you come to the TL forums and troll? That is what /v/ is for. IdrA is still one of the most accomplished foreigners and I'm tired of everyone always getting down on players if they don't win a tournament every week. There are a lot of good players and just mathematically a player couldn't win enough tournaments for people not to be like ohhhhhhhwowowowoow he sucks so hard core at least every other month. Fickle? My frame of reference is the Clash of the Titans, the last showmatch I can remember. And that was just plain not good entertainment, just like this series right here. This isn't about winning or losing, it's this weird atmosphere of desperation and hopelessness that IdrA puts out in these matches. It's just not fun to watch. Are you honestly telling me that this is a nice series for you, you know, havin' a beer, watchin' some good Starcraft? | ||

He will always be my foreign hope, or at least until he grabs his starting 6 workers and a moves. Now that would be a foreign embarrassment. At least that was quite the show. Idra doesnt even know how to that, let alone win a game. | ||

Idra's decent (really good among foreigners), but he's not on the same level as the likes of Taeja, Jjakji, Mvp, MMA, Gumiho, etc... | ||

I wouldn't reconsider to be honest. If you truly like him as a player, you wouldn't give up. Through thick and thin, you should cheer on your favourite players. | ||

Show me one point in this last two matches where Idra really screwed up? If he didn't want to play these games he shouldn't. This was "Fuck you" in the face for ESV TV. | ||

At 20k viewers, I think any sponsor would love IdrA being in their showmatch. | ||
