Some of these posts are just hilariously strange.
The irony is this post right here is more offensive to the community than the post idra got released for :\ calling people "slightly off" for speaking their mind about a key icon in starcraft being removed from the team they helped make iconic for the same reason that icon was made an icon.
^ laughed re-reading that sentence, but the point remains. insulting people for getting up in arms in defence of a person removed from a team for insulting people.

Well I won't be watching any foreign events that Idra isn't a part of, I used to because I cared about EG but getting rid of a big personality and a great player makes them completely devoid of interest to me.
I will watch InControl casting but the foreign scene is completely pointless to me without Idra.
How ridiculously petty of you. You only watch Starcraft 2 because of ONE player? That's pretty obsessive of you to like someone's personality so much that you can't root for any other player. This isn't normal behavior, bub. This is what I'm saying when I get the impression that most die-hard Idra fans are "a little bit off". Lmao

Thats not what he is saying. He never claimed you cannot be an IdrA fan or supporter with a clear mind, but lots of IdrA fans seem to post in a very aggressive tone and in rage-mode. While not the majority might be like that, often times we get ourselves in that picture, because the rage-nerds are the loudest speaking.

Not to mention the post count of a lot of these Idra followers is extremely low. Just another thing I've noticed.

EG without IdrA is not EG!  This is so surprising

The reason I'm calling them "slightly off" isn't because they are simply speaking their mind. Their logic and reasoning for justifying Idra's behavior and attacking EG is so completely whacked that it's impossible to think of them as "normal" posters.
Every time some random poster says "dur it's true Idra was right! All of you are fucks! durrr" it's hard not to start stereotyping. I have yet to see a rational argument for either defending Idra or attacking EG.

Don't put too much thought into it. You'll only fall into a hole and find yourself surrounded by a bunch of trolls, realizing that's what those posts are.
I think the vast majority of Idra diehard fans are currently wishing him the best of luck in anything that he decides to do. So the person calling his fans slightly off, ate the troll bait.

How I think about the reasoning behind this move...Releasing Greg is like how blizzard has been dealing with WoW patches in recent times. Satisfying the masses (for the $$$/overall image) but with little care to the people that have been with them the longest ie) they do this to please the greater community and assume the people that are already fans will stay fans of EG.
Being a long time fan of EG and Idra...this move leaves a bitter taste. EG is not the same without EG.Idra
IdrA has been 3 years on EG and EG is 15 years old? I'd also want to know how many "real" long time EG fans were annoyed by him, I bet with you that percentage is over 50. You see, IdrA isn't EG, and EG doesn't need IdrA. They didn't need him beforehand, and they don't need him know, that's the reason he had to leave.

Because they follow a single personality?
I am in a similar boat as the guy you've just quoted. I personally only watch SC2 either if a foreigner is doing REALLY well in a tournament or if one of the BW legends is doing really well otherwise I really don't care. Am I ''a little bit off''. - Lmao?

Man I dont think most of those posts are trolls. I think these people really believe what they're saying on here. That's the hilarious part of it, too. I literally can't stay away from this thread, as I don't want to miss the next insane/crazy complaint.

Well to be honest he had a good point with his first post and the reply to him was just teasing him. Of course he went to far with his second post but really theres probably something more behind the scenes.

Maybe a change of scenery will improve his game, he hasnt shown results that we know IdrA can pull. Suppy took the #1 zerg position on the EG team, imo. Good luck to Greg though.

Sorry man you're not in a "similar boat" as that guy based on what you just said.
"I personally only watch SC2 either if a foreigner is doing REALLY well in a tournament or if one of the BW legends is doing really well otherwise I really don't care" - thezanursic 2013
So you watch many different personalities and players? Then no, your pretty normal. Lol
P.S. I'll reiterate - anyone who watches a sport for only one person, follows only one player in an entire sport exclusively, and stops watching said sport if that person leaves, is a bit "weird". Haha.

So what are you gaining by calling his fans slightly off? While forming this opinion on low post count forum trolls. When I said the majority of his die hard fans are wishing him the best of luck in his fan club thread. This thread isn't nearly aggressively moderated as his fan-club. If you want the views of his real fans that you consider slightly off, I suggest venturing there, before being trolled and forming a foolish opinion.

It's kinda like Liverpool releasing Suarez after he bit Ivanovic. Except Liverpool didn't release Suarez while they should have.
Good move by EG. It won't profit them directly but it's a fair move showing sportsmanship. This should help their image.

I think more people are referring to EG SC2 rather than the organization in general. There are very few people who know EG from CS1.6 or any other game (especially on TL).

So now EG has a lot of spare money to hire better players and improve EG-TL's standing in Proleague! Great news all around!
|
Not a big fan of the release of IdrA, almost like EG encouraged his behavior by never really addressing it then releases him for it...that seems a little bit off.
yes I have a non existent post count, but that's because I just read TL, never post.
