His stream was the best out there: hilarious, fun, etc. Unfortunately he stopped streaming for a long time due to lag issues and hasn't streamed consistently since then T.T | ||

Okay, then name 15-20 foreigners who are clearly better than IdrA, and be sure to give at least a few general reasons why your list of pro-gamers are better. | ||

 So who the HUK is Hui?Seriously, I don't mind Hui's number of hours - but here he's on top 50 by average viewers. Where's Huk then??? | ||

On the other hand, MKP has a great stream, one of the most entertaining out there, but it's on every blue moon and at a horrible time for most foreigners... But if you want to see someone not losing against great players, that's where you want to be. | ||

Baneling busting a code S terran doesn't mean anything, but beating some in long macro games is still indicative of skill. IdrA is still a good foreigner (definitety top 15), he's just not at the top anymore. People have far too great expectations (his fans) and standards (his haters) for him. | ||

I see perhaps 6 of these at best being better than Idra. I haven't seen play from some of these in a long time though, so my assumption might be a little off | ||

I named 35 players (and i'm not even sure if Snute/White-Ra/TLO/Sheth/Adelscott/ToD/Scarlett aren't in that list too) that are better than IdrA imo. Obviously it can't be proven they are or they are not, but looking at recent IdrA's tournament results i truly believe in what i said. His last nice win was in November 2011 (Asus ROG), and since then he was "constantly" taking last places in MLGs and other tournaments. And taking a single game off a player like Bomber (look at his tlpd, he was "constantly winning" maybe 10+ months ago) means nothing, cuz many players from my list would have a decent shot to win a single game in bo3 or bo5 against a top korean he was very good in sc:bw (probably top1 foreigner at some point) and probably the best during the beta, but now there are alot of other talent you people underrate and don't even think about, just because IdrA has a name. I will probably get attacked now by the biggest fanclub in the world, but I don't really care. That's my opinion and you are not gonna change it, because it's based on facts. cliffs: IdrA has earned a name for himself winning many tournaments in beta/early sc2, but even though other players don't have as much tournament success, i would bet money on them if they were to play vs IdrA right now. Online results are important for me too. | ||

He's constantly taking long drawn out macro games against Code A and S players, can that be said for even a 3rd of these players? You cannot look at statistics and call a player better, you gotta look at the people they play, and how they play. How can you even try to claim that Bly is better than a player like Idra? That's beyond me... | ||
