Everyone who knows him say he's a smart guy, I don't know, perhaps he's an addict and hide in the bathroom to do coke or amphetamine, he's just not acting normal anymore. I guess EG warned him quite a few times already, this time was too much they could tolerate. | ||

You know, so the people who are actually passionate about SC2 can discuss it without you mouth-breathing morons creaming yourselves over the most recent twitter controversy caused by some irrelevant, washed up foreigner who never actually accomplished anything of note. User was temp banned for this post. With the exception of the insults and aggressive dialogue, I agree with this. Stories for a gaming community are good to have, but calling this game when it has no stories "bland" is going too far. | ||

Lol, do you honestly believe he did that for any other reason, than to get eyes onto him (and by association, EG and its sponsors?) | ||

Yeah I think there are some. Not a lot but some, Flash who used to (not sure if he still does) make 300k a year or something and not having to pay living expenses so I imagine he has quiet a bit of money especially with his osl + msl wins. Same with jaedong or a bunch of other high end players. Salary + no living expenses + tournament winnings aren't bad off. Now like I said there aren't many of them, but there are a select few that make a pretty good living. From what EG has said in the past (this was 2 years ago about) that their A-list players do get 6 figures. That's pretty good ^^. | ||

Not liking the player, boycotting the player is one thing, but it takes someone with a dumpster ass life to actively try to make someone lose their job. Enough is enough at times. Sponsors bring money because its the audience that buys their product. If the audience is disgusted with behavior and attitude of a player who is basically funded with their money, they can and should voice it out. There should be no free protection and players should be accountable for decision they make. | ||

It's sad because a man lost his job and his primary source of income, because his tragic flaw finally got the better of him. It's sad because a manager had to fire one of his employees whom he had worked with, spent time with, and invested in over the past three years. It's sad because the teammates who livd with, supported, and laughed with Idra are watching this happen, and are powerless to make it better. We can only imagine how much time and effort the EG teammates have invested in trying to help Greg manage his emotions. Yet while it is sad for everyone involved, it may be that this is the best thing to happen for all. This is probably the best move for the EG brand and team. And for Idra, this might end up being good for him in the long run. Perhaps he lands with another team and gets the help he needs. Perhaps he switches careers. Either way, it is an opportunity to learn and start fresh. This is why Alex Garfield gets paid the big bucks, to make the tough decisions that suck for everyone involved, but are ultimately in everyone's best interests. | ||

You've posted this exact same message over and over again, we get it RoboSnail, you don't like EG without IdrA, and it was the only reason you watched SC2. You don't need to keep reposting the exact same message over and over again. | ||

Okay, if we follow that reasoning he's an attention-whore, or EG is just a shit organization for allowing such a thing to happen and encouraging such a practice. Seeing as EG just let IdrA go, I'd say the second one isn't the case. | ||

I'm not attempting to diagnose anything, I'm attempting to do the opposite. You were the one who grossly misused Stockholm Syndrome as a bad analogy/shot at Idra and his fans. I'm done with this conversation as you seem to be entirely missing the point. Yes your only point was that you are anal-retentive about the difference between "psychiatrist" and "psychologist", when it's obvious that most people here don't think Idra has autism, they're obviously meaning psyhological therapy. This is completely obvious. You're really just whining to us about a grammer mistake. | ||
