Besides Evil Geniuses don't really need him to function anyway. If they want stream revenue, DeMuslim is a far better ambassador for the brand. If they want exposure, Incontrol is ten times the host and fifty times the person. Thorzain and Suppy are far more skilled and they've got a proleague team. Good job cutting the dead weight. | ||

As far as outside of Korea goes, yeah EG had the best facilities and he screwed it up. Most Korean teams can easily match IdrA's salary with EG, especially KeSPA teams. | ||

Treating kids like they're pieces of meat. Idra made EG so much money over the last few years. Now that they feel he wont generate as much money, they throw him out like trash. | ||

He might not become great, but when you see people like QXC some bad c+/b- BW player looking like god in SC 2, there's simply no way Idra wouldn't be faring a lot better now if he originally picked Terrran. They are different games. People who are really good at BW may not be as good in SC2. Jaedong may not even be as good as Life in his whole SC2 career despite his BW's successes. | ||

Really makes me wonder why there's people without an esports pro-team! Free cash! | ||

Lol yes it makes for a popcorn-popping night of reading these people's hilarious attempts at justifying Idra's behavior and/or pretending like EG "did something" to him and is somehow "to blame for it all".  | ||

Idra is one of the best NA players what ever what anyone says and has potential to become top 1 foreigner whatever Kas says, he was one of the best players on Brood War and in the early SC2. Before you could discount his BM as part of his intense passion for the game. But lately, over the course of the past year, he's basically admitted he hates SC2 and is in it for the money. His last post basically confirms that he thinks he gets paid to BM and 'pander' ... when in actuality, he gets paid to win On SOTG, InControl admitted that EG was making a conscious effort to shed their image that EG is only 'in it for the money'. IdrA defeatist and cynical attitude lately would pretty much be a slap in the face to management if that's the case. | ||

If you think one of your players don't do their job you fire him. | ||

On May 10 2013 17:30 JerKy wrote: I'm gonna pretend this massive pooling of negative comments and ignorance isn't being posted I really hope this serves as a BIGGER wake up call for IdrA; relative to the non-Korean scene, he's pretty well off in terms of his talent/skill at the game (as much as people may dislike him, you can't deny there are still a lot of foreign "pros" that aren't as good). Anyway, he has the capacity to achieve, his mentality just isn't there. You play with so much negativity, it's just so hard to prevent it from affecting your play. I think from Alex's viewpoint, this was the proper thing to do. Now, all we can hope for is IdrA to shape up and make a strong come back. Those other foreign "pros" often post more results than Idra. He hasn't won or done anything relevant since the beginning of 2011 now. His attitude towards the game has always been extremely negative (he'd much rather blame his losses on balance than on his own mistakes) and his behaviour was pretty toxic. He's extremely lucky that EG didn't boot him sooner. As far as sports teams go, esports teams are very lenient in keeping players on board who just don't perform. | ||

And when EG figured they wouldn't be getting their moneys worth anymore they fired him? Damn that sounds almost like something only every company in the face of the earth would do. You're right, shame on EG. How could they fire an underperforming employee! | ||
