I guess it's hard to read what was really said ?
Welp, I liked Idra

After recommendations from people to check out Idra's WCS games I had a look.

I must say after that kind of behavior regardless of his comments in the EG thread I would have released him.

200/200 with 3k/3k bank, with a foothold on the 6 o clock base on Daybreak on Ultra/Infestor/Broodlord, and he ragequits because he can't handle being harassed?

When you take a collective look at everything this guy brings to Starcraft I hope he dissapears and never returns; he is an embarassment to this scene. He is definately our fallen angel.

It's more of a cumulative thing from both of IdrA's results and behavior. I seriously doubt IdrA got fired over a single TL post.

I don't think this had much to do with his personality. I assume he was just facing a very significant salary cut and would rather retire than waste his life playing a game he hates/isn't very competitive in (probably mostly due to hating it).

Is there really such a big difference?

I applaud EG's decision, but the reasoning behind it smells a bit fishy to me. Either you want your players to show respect or you don't. Now suddenly drawing the 'red line' between respecting opponents and respecting the community is just camouflage. They should have come to this decision a long time ago, and they know it.

Anyway, I hope Idra will finally realize that you don't have to be a jerk in order to be 'cool' and 'special'. Normally that kind of insight comes with age, in Idra's case it seems to take something else. Maybe getting fired?



I think Garfield is saying: "other players don't pay us, but the community does . . . it's o.k. to insult players, but mess with our revenue stream and you're toast". That's where he's drawing the line.


EG clearly doing well on the "let's get rid of the money-grubbing image by releasing Greg".

So this "attention whore" average pro player was finally fired.He deserved it, you cant bite the hand that feeds you without a payback.Good for EG and a little justice for all those players and followers that where harrased by him in the last months.

When players insult me during a game, wish cancer to my mother and all those nice things that they say when they rage quit i allways ask myself the same question, they would have the guts to do it at my face? of course not, they are cowards What is unexpected is that someone like Idra can call "piece of shit" to his team partner Demuslim without geting a fist in his face.

He got what was coming to him.

Best of luck to his future endeavours, I'm happy his toxic influence on the community is gone.

Wow... I just learned about this and I'm a bit stunned here.

I really appreciated IdrA because few players in the game have such a personality that can draw attention. In a way, his BM attitude was entertaining and made it quite fun to watch him play... Up to a certain point.

I didn't know about IdrA's latest "feat". And it is true it is unacceptable. You just can't brag everywhere about being paid to insult your fans and playing only for the money, especially if you're in a major team such as EG.

Many people here argue that he's been BM even when he played Brood War, so they don't seem to understand why he was fired. But keep in mind that:
1) As someone told me once, old vices do not become virtues. So because he's been BM for a long time doesn't excuse everything.
2) As mentioned by Alex, there's a huge difference between being bad manner and trolling your opponents/teammates and being disrespectful to the whole community thanks to whom you earn that much money.

I'm a bit disappointed to see Greg leave since he was one of EG's symbols, but this could be expected and he was starting to become toxic to the team's image, especially given the fact that Blizzard decided to "professionalize" the game, by standardizing the WCS system. So this probably was a wise decision from EG.

I was never a big fan and never watched his stream but I really wish him all he best for his future. Too much people forget how he was/is a huge part of the community and helped building the community.

Exactly, or in other words: "We don't care about respect as long as it doesn't affect our revenue stream."

Well, maybe EG was the right team for Idra after all?

Uh, foothold on the 6 oclock base? Guess you're the victim of bad observing -- the only player who had a foothold on 6 oclock when IdrA left the game was Polt. The minimap is your friend.

He had no chance to win that game, even if he expended his 200 supply army and remaxed with 3k/3k. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I never understood how his behavior has been tolerated by both, his team and the community. He never was showing any respect to anybody, just sitting on his throne above everyone else, while never showing ANY results.

This is just another sign of EG trying to become a real esport top team and not remaining an expensive circus attraction. Really like it.

Wow, I totally understand why this has been done, I just wasn't expecting it, IdrA without EG just won't feel right anymore, but respect to EG for making what was obviously a hard choice.
