I am one of Idra's "typical" fans, which constitutes the majority of his viewership, not those trolls in his chat-room or die-hard, obsessed fans. What makes me a typical fan is that I was never invested in Idra emotionally or personally, but I still cheered for at all of his matchups. Most of us are done with Idra. I'm sorry to break the news, but when you call all of the casual viewers - the majority of your fan base, a "bunch of fucks" you tend to lose guys like us. Why do you make stuff up and pretend to put your self in the shoes of an Idra fan to make a point? That's just low. Additionally judging from your previous posts I think its safe to say you were never a fan. | ||

Plus we don't care if all he thinks is pretty much bullshit. Like, Byun is a trash player, really? I'd like smarter players to say what they think if possible. | ||

Because the opportunity cost of keeping "exposure/traffic" is for something worse to happen down the road. It takes years to build trust, but seconds to break it. Note, I'm not just talking about fans here. You're also assuming that losing exposure/traffic is somehow permanent. Part of the business decisions you make are sometimes about short term loses for long term gains. I'm not convinced there will be much of the former however. | ||

I live in Indian wells, some folks here can't spel beter then the intrnet peepul but they stil driv a furarri son. Sure, it's embarrassing until they tell you the story of how they overcame severe dyslexia. Yeah. Shut up. I take offense because MY BOSS can't spell an he is one of the coolest people I've met. He's not the dyslexic and he drives a luxury truck but he just felt spelling was unnecessary until it was kind of too late. You can defend his spelling all you like, but you can't defend the hiLOLarity of what he actually said. That's impossible. I'm actually still laughing from it even now. | ||

He got the attention, now it's time to do something with it. Well it was time, he had the time, now it's too late. Or perhaps he's doing that because he can't accept that he suck at this game so he diverts the attention of people by doing "coups". (pure speculation :D) And despite that he's a quasi celebrity, I'd argue that it'll be pretty hard for any team to recruit him as a player. If you recruit him basically you say "I know he suck as a player and bring nothing to our team, but you'll watch us anyway so we'll have him". A team could recruit him as a janitor, or an accountant, or a player, it would make no difference for their "sportive" strength. His only value is marketing wise, which puts him in a precarious position as a player. I do have to say however, idra is for sure, "better" than plenty of players on other teams. I can't say he has had good results, or that he is an amazing player. I think though, however it would be difficult to argue that he is horrible or that he is valueless as a player. I think that for him to continue in esports in a positive way, there will definitely need to be some changes. | ||

When she streams she has way to many ads and she makes sure you can see right down her dress. Ms Spyte is good and she has class! Plus she can draw too! Have you seen her Zerg? It's awesome! What can tarababcock do? You kidding me? TaraBabcock is a supermodel gamer, and it's clear you're just hating on her for her looks. EG should hire her as soon as possible. She can't play dude....She's platnium. Get real... And she doesn't stream very much. Ms. Spyte has got potential. She just a little more playing time and some good mentors and then she'll be kicking their butts! | ||
