I'll be waiting for Idra's retirement announcement then.

I guess he'll be back in one month and regret taking this 'break' .

Good riddens to be honest. Decent player but his narcistic tendencies were just annoying, constantly saying crap etc. about the game. I can agree the game sucks at some points but don't whine about it as a progamer.
He overrates his own skill by quite a bit as well imo..

It's not impossible if he keeps doing nothing result wise.

Idra gets money from drawing in viewers for his sponsors, his stream etc. Why quit when you earn good money.
But obviously, not enough people care about Cloud, that this would be possible for him. So it's a dead end.
Funny that some say he's a fucking asshole and other say he's a nice guy, right next to each other. Hardly anything in between.

I can't say I'll really miss him...
I mean... the guy has insulted (with horrible insults... not just something like "dumbass", balance whined... )
Well, good luck in the future anyway !

Always liked watching your stream.
Goodluck in the future Cloud!
|
what a shame, he always was a nice guy to talk to at the homestorycups
|
I don't think anyone will argue that Cloud didn't have a whole lot of character. Ever since he moved back to Italy I think some of us expected him to eventually quit. It wasn't a secret he didn't enjoy sc2 all that much. Love him or hate him, he was a noteworthy player in the EU community for a long long time.

To paraphrase: "I know have the potential to be better than anyone(non-Korean) in the world, but I didn't like the game, so I quit" It is close to blaming SC2 for why he didn't do well. He leaves it subjective by saying that he didn't "enjoy" the game, but he is still heaping the blame on SC2 rather than himself. Well you are reading it like you want to read it. I read it more like "I didn't enjoy the game so I didn't put as much time/effort into it as required to excel", which is basically what his whole blog is about, how he loved BW and therefor he was putting a lot more effort into developing as a player.
We all can read what we want to read, that is why it is call interpretation and we have the phrase “reading between the lines”. But the attitude that “I didn’t do well because the game wasn’t as good as BW, that I loved”, while also claiming to be capable of being one of the best in the world, is a little hard to swallow. With players like Flash coming into the scene, who would accept the challenge of becoming the best at any RTS you put in front of them and Nanwai, who just wants to become the best no matter what, I have grown tired of people blaming SC2 for their woes.

bleh, the little i do know of him was from homestory and his feud with Goody. About his skill level and passion for the game. Dont really care. Anybody that is getting stomped in sc2 would say the same thing, "dont have passion for the game etc etc".
well adios.

Everyone who followed the german scene know him and what I know from him was always entertaining.
Sometimes in bad ways, sometimes in good ways.
None the less, due to all this negativity, i felt obligated to post that I will miss him.
Good luck in your future endavors.

I think that IdrA - actually - would make pretty good coach. It's maybe a long shot but he seems to be very analytical about the game, has the best background among foreigners for that kind of job plus he nerve issues wouldn't be his issues.
