I thought it was pretty obvious that Dangermousecatdog was taking the piss out of Idra. That certainly seems to be the way that Idra interpreted it, hence his response.

In any case, his release will probably do him some favours. It will give him an opportunity to reassess his position. He's a smart guy with money in the bank; I don't think he's going to have any financial problems at least.

You don't have to be good to make money in starcraft is what Idra was saying, you just have to be popular. You can't deny that it is true, there may be a few extraneous cases (eg byunprime recently) but for the most point that stays true.


Er, Jaedong does stream, and he maybe gets about the same amount of viewers as Incontrol so... few thousand...

Even IdrA mentioned he was slightly embarrassed that his stream got 2-3 times more.

But I am mixed on this whole thing.

IdrA was a character, and you need a bad guy, but he just seemed a little too unstable. Hopefully this snaps some sense into him and he grows up a bit.


You haven't seen Jaedong stream much, he's been up above 5k everytime I've seen him stream minus the first few or the ones that are really late (around midnight korean)
I'm bad, really bad but I'll blame it on my internet.

It was long overdue ... since they failed to give him a clear enough message that he should not post such terrible things and behave more politely. Ultimately his parents are to blame, because they failed to tame him. Tolerating terrible manners because someone is "successful" or "popular" is a bad thing in our western societies and more consumers should grow a spine and develop some principles.

I think him being fired is more the result of his attitude and his inability to change it despite prior warnings than th really a result of this comment alone.
I'm not happy to see him fired, because he seems to be a nice guy irl, but he had it coming unfortunately. I hope it will be a wake up call and that he'll be able to continue his carreer. A personal sponsorship is probably the best solution.

The comment made in response to Dangermousecatdog has just been used as an excuse to get rid of him. People surely can't believe that EG has released Idra simply because of those comments. He's a PR nightmare.
Whether Idra plays into the bad guy persona or not, his attitude towards the game and community really can't be doing his mindset any favours.

Another victim of the inflated politically correctness wave that nowadays plague the planet.

GL Greg, hope you find a new team soon and keep giving a fuck about everything


This guy has wished cancer on people and has said cruel things about David Kim on live streams without any repercussion. Please take this idea that he is a victim of inflated politically correctness elsewhere because it's dumb and just not true. IdrA was released because he no longer gave a fuck. If you are really a fan of IdrA you should want him to do something he likes and enjoys, not because he's making money of haters tuning in to see him rage.

If Idra starts streaming again his viewer count will be higher than any Sc2 player ever had before.

Idra will prolly smile and think: "Only bad news are good news."

So much attention for a player who did not show any decent results for a long time. His self marketing is just incredible...

I'd like to see him beating 14k achieved by Stephano. That's the most I've seen.

Fair enough.

Could someone link or paste IdrA's statement? I have trouble finding it.

I think he should go back to school and remember what real life is when he's just another person. Maybe he'd be able to appreciate his privileged position more.
I think esports is pretty nice.
