Idra was self destructing for some time now. His bo7 showmatch when he gg'ed 2 times when seeing a proxy rax then just 6 pooled twice was a start (it started before, but before it was just antics and could be funny). After that he just did that every game, pure self destruction, or like he wants to be a cool guy that don't give a fuck, but when you overdo it you're not cool anymore, you are a guy with a problem and a weirdo.
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.

Nah we're still stuck in that "Idra's gone - right or wrong" phase. The thread probably won't transition out of it for a while, too.

If you don't like this game and you can't fucking watch it without your precious "storylines" and ridiculous, over-the-top esports drama then maybe you should leave. 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 ^^.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Hopefully he quits SC2 and goes to college to study physics. BW is over and so are the early days of SC2. I mean he can keep playing if he wants, but the intelligent choice would be to quit.

Not hard to speculate why he was kicked. The Reddit kids called the sponsors. Why else would they release him over insults only marginally worse than in the past?

Reddit is a pox on society.


so what's more childish, your shifting of blame from the person who acted poorly to everyone who isn't interested in bullshit, or people not being interested in bullshit?


Anyone who actually called sponsors is a real piece of shit honestly. 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.

What a sad day for all involved.

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.

well eg threw away thousands of ad views per day... for what? him doing what youve supported him doing the past 3 years? being himself and joking with the community... i would've figured since none of their players are winning anything that at the very least idra was a prime commodity as he carries a far larger fan/viewer base than almost anyone else. sounds more like alex garfield had a bad day and stopped popping his zoloft or someshit... if stephano leaves EG at the end of the year you can bet sponsors will follow, thats prob like 1/3 of the projected eye balls for sponsors gone. anyways good time to start acting classy EG, now maybe those incontrol comments about nazis and jews will have repercussions, stay frosty!

There's a recognized disorder that describes "thanking" people that are abusive to you . . . scan up a couple posts. It starts with an "S".


Are you actually equating Idra's personality or statements toward fans and/or their reaction towards him in an online VIDEO GAME forum community to a disorder such as Stockholm?? I mean normally internet forums get pretty far out there but seriously... lol.


Idra's had real life psychiatrists.


Unfortunately I'm afraid you don't understand what this disorder is or even the relevance (or lack thereof) to making the analogy that was made.


I'm just saying that neither are you qualified to dismiss anything on the basis of knowledge you don't have. Idra actually has personal problems which may or may not be psychiatric that requires attention from his friends and social circle, what ever they are ain't our business.


Unlike you I actually work in a mental health field and realize how poor and crude this analogy is. Idra more likely has psychological problems, not ones requiring psychiatric care. He has a mental block when it comes to performing certain tasks in his chosen field of employment - not a need for medicine. I think my entire point is lost on these forums though, and posters like that in particular, who really don't know anything about psychological disorders and make crude analogies for basically no reason.


No... Idra's actually had real life psychiatrists. This is a fact. Ask Incontrol. This happened like 1 1/2 years ago.


And I quote Incontrol "he has used a sports PSYCHOLOGIST"... end quote.


Are you under the impression I'm defending other people's diagnosis of Greg on this forum? I'm saying that neither are you qualified to diagnose anything.


Yeah, my point has gone straight over your head as you seem to not understand the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist or the fact that Idra and/or teammates have never said he had "mental problems" but that he used a sports psychologist. 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.
