The minimap is your friend. He had no chance to win that game, even after expending his 200 supply army and remaxing with 3k/3k. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Funny because right at the end he runs away from it for 2 seconds because of hunter seekers but until that point he was camping that spot with a flock of broods, corrupters, infestors and ultras. Maybe its you who needs your eyes checked? And you saying he had no chance is of no relevance and from the same camp of defeatist mindsets that idra belongs to. | ||

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? Honestly, I think there's a bunch of reasons that culminated into this decision. For example: 1) Not practicing with teammates. 2) Creating unnecessary tension in the team house between himself and DeMuslim. 3) Openly saying he hates playing SC2 (and hence, his job). Repeatedly. 4) Constantly whining about imbalance. (This is like having to work with that one asshole that complains and whines about EVERYTHING). 5) Saying that he thinks the community/SC2 are 'fucks,' and that he gets paid to treat them like fucks. (This is like an employee that openly brags about cursing out the customers because he thinks he's untouchable) 6) Rage quitting or leaving games without playing them out. Even if a situation is unwinnable, he doesn't respect his fans enough to even try. Personally, his comments plus the way he lost at WCS (basically walking off the field because a single play didn't go his way) is probably why EG chose to part ways with him now. | ||

gave his stream quaite a few chances ... always thinking "he had a bad day maybe" ... but i figured he is just not the kind of person i like to watch in a stream. Stuff like "get cancer" is far beyond trolling bad manner style streaming for "fun". Someone like this does not belong to a professional scene no matter how good he plays. Since im a new user i cant attach pictures to my post but its stuff like this --> http://i.imgur.com/LPgTR0W.jpg that makes me think he should use this opportunity to maybe start over or get lost. | ||

And then he had his army at that base for 5 minutes while Polt killed the 10 o clock. So he still had a foothold. Sorry bro keep hating. | ||

The 6 oclock died after the 10 o clock died. Polt steamrolled it literally 5 seconds before IdrA left the game. The observers didn't catch it -- neither did you. Minimap. Useful. http://www.twitch.tv/wcs_america/b/400977752?t=47m42s Watch the minimap, champ. | ||

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). Now speculations are going on about him switching into LoL(I personally think he could never handle having 9 potential people to blame especially when the banhammer swings so quickly for BM there). | ||

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! hahahaha spot on. Some really delusional people in here. | ||

Minimap. Useful. 'No chance of winning' is untrue, saw bigger comebacks and it was certainly possible with a more defensive stance. | ||

Minimap. Useful. Since when did having an army in a position not= having a foothold? Idra is just a defeatist who runs away from seeker missiles despite them doing no damage, therefore the fact he abandoned his advantage to avoid 3 seeker missles has no relevance with the outcome. | ||

These old boys lately seem to have trouble to have each other their back however. Demuslim had problems with IdrA. Stephano was quite open about his dislike towards IdrA (Dont know how much he was joking, if he can joke). I doubt HuK had a real bond with IdrA. Between IdrA his preformance (which is probably a minor issue), his weird relationship with the community, this could be a big third reason for his release. Obviously I am theory crafting, but, it does seem logical at the same time. | ||

it would still like greg to be in the community thou. i know that bad manner is can be bad for a scene, but i think it would still be better if he could stay in the community. and besides, it is nice to have people who exetly say the fuck they really feel instead of lying there whole career. | ||
