"Alex and I decided it would be best for us to part ways"

"I don't have any current plans to join another team but that might change in the future"

Except it was IdrA himself who approached JP to do the interview. If he really didn't have much to say then why request it in the first place?

Because the interview contained the WCS game of Idra v Polt, MLG claimed the video which is preventing us from getting our daily dose of e-sports drama.

Wow.

IdrA, the MAN who inspired my name.

The BRAND I chose to follow faithfully.

The HERO I watched tear up Koreans in WoL.

RETIRED professionally?

Wow, IdrA handled this really well, IMO. The announcement came at a weird time in the video but it had to come eventually. Well, gl to IdrA, thanks JP for this!

Yeah, JP kinda accidently blew when he asked the wrong question about the sports psychologist. :b Great interview though JP! Good job.

GL IdrA. Glad it worked out well for everyone involved. You seem happy and excited for the future. Thanks for all the great games!

Good interview from JP, and while I'm not an Idra fan, he gets props for giving this interview and handling it well. JP was "no fluff", and the questions could be hard.

GL in the future, Idra. Looking forward to a TB/Idra cast. (Would be really interesting.)

So what i thought he was going to do with his life now is actually what he is doing.
I did think he lost his passion for professional SC2, so why not milk the casting market, that is going be great i can't wait for it. Everything else in the interview was kinda understandable things, like IdrA said himself (eventually xD) it was the right thing to do what was probably wrong was EG in a way forcing him to play competitively still if he wanted to retire and expressed his views the way he said he did. If a guy wants to take a step back and do other things, let them...save the $$ and recruit another play who is performing xD
But still everything will work out, we have just got another great caster
Thanks JP great interview!

Idra a smart man, he'll become a succesful caster no question about it. Regarding his stream, I wonder if he's going to keep playing Z or switch to random. Idra playing 2 base all-in with protoss and explain his move through commentaries would be good fun.

Greg seems generally pumped about the future and I am excited to see what he does. He was clearly not challenged playing the game and wanted to do something else for a while now. Being let go by EG, liberated him to do his own thing. Hopefully his haters don't follow him.

Some things just don`t add up. He hates the game so he`s going to commentate it? This makes no sense.

Well done interview, but his responses leave much to be desired.

Thanks JP great interview!

I think he probably wanted to step down sooner but the money stopped him from doing that. When you are making good money you will have a hard time leaving a job, even if you don't like it. Probably the reason for all the rage we saw, he was being forced to play a game he didn't enjoy every day. That would wear on anyone.

I'm sure he will have no problem getting casting gigs, nor will he have any problem making money if the twitch numbers today are anything to go by. On top of EG paying his rent, he is in a pretty good place still. He can milk SC2 a bit longer and retire with more money and go back to school or something.
