ST_Bomber and SlayerS_Cella deserve more viewers.


Cella used to get a massive amount of viewers around March of last year. 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.

Coca! 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???

i think its pretty clear that players with commentary have more viewers then those without ceteris paribus.

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.


let me try but without reason, that's too timeconsuming:

stephano, naniwa, sase, thorzain, kas, sheth, huk, ret, nerchio, maybe select, demuslim, sjow, titan, whitra.

A lot of the stream numbers come from consistency. To become known as a streamer, one needs to do it often, regularly and a lot. Without that, people won't get into the habit of tuning into your stream. It takes a long time to get those habits up (including getting people to follow your twitter, and fan club for when you are online), which is why some of the more regular streamers are doing better than the arguably bigger names. Idra is so successful because he is both famous and a regular streamer.

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.

Name 15 foreigners that can consistently take games and series off of players like Bomber, Jiakji etc, and tell me Idra is not one of them


Taking games off players isn't anything special in sc2.


It depends on the games. 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.

He's a Taiwanese player, with a Taiwanese viewer base, and is not featured on TL.

let me try but without reason, that's too timeconsuming:

stephano, naniwa, sase, thorzain, kas, sheth, huk, ret, nerchio, maybe select, demuslim, sjow, titan, whitra.

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

Hui has asked to be featured numerous times on TL, but for some reason TL doesn't recognize any Taiwanese player not named sen. He should definitely be featured.

HuK, Feast, Stephano, Socke, HasuObs, GoOdy, DarKFoRcE, Grubby, Ret, MaNa, Nerchio, Tefel, DieStar, NightEnD, TitaN, BratOK, Happy, sLivko, LucifroN, VortiX, NaNiwa, SaSe, ThorZaIN, SjoW, MorroW, biGs, BlinG, DeMusliM, fraer, Kas, Strelok, Bly, DIMAGA, LiveZerg, Sen,

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.

Destiny all the way at 10th, he used to pull I'd say an average 5-6k when he played sc2, then his LoL time came and it dropped to 2-3k =/ Understandable I still watch him play both though xD
There is a theory which states, that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly dissapear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory that this has already happened.

Guys like select sjow and sheth probably haven't even placed highly at a major event in over a year. Kind dumb to say they are better than Idra

Now that's bullshit. 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...

I love watching Idra just to see his facial expression of pure disgust when something unfortunate happens.

Skill |= Streamviewers. Its funny why people watch IdrA. He is a bad player who plays even worse players than him on the worst Ladder (NA) in the world.
