eg has stephano and jaedong. greg who? Stephano is quitting soon, Jaedong and his 1200 stream viewers are not as valuable as IdrA and his 8k yeah jaedong is worth less than idra after his OSL wins and general popularity in korea Jaedong is treated like a real popstar in korea. not a semi internet celebrity like idra (or was he ever on national tv in murica?). Idra has about 4K. Stephano has 8k. Demuslik has about 5k Really? Demuslim is topping 10k each day, Stephano not even doing that, not to mention Idra when he was getting lately 3-5k viewers MAX. Well this was in April, I know DeMu's has skyrocketed now that people realize he's actually really fucking good, Stephano's stayed the same, does idra even stream anymore? LOL
I've been on the Demu bandwagon since beta. ^^ It's good to see more people finally recognize what he brings to the community. Definitely the most informative and interactive with his fan-base of any stream I've frequented!

If incontrol was such a good friend to IdrA he would've talked sense into him ages ago. That is what friends do. This whole poor-incontrol-talk is just wasted words. Incontrol feels bad? Good, they had it both coming then.
Every single cried tear for that news is a waste of body fluids. That was a big step towards respect in esports, one bad example cut off.
Give me a break. Do you honestly think InControl never talked to Idra about his behavior? He's the captain of EG, it's his job to lead the team plus he's good friends with Idra. Anyone who has paid attention over the last three years knows Idra is arrogant and has not taken this opportunity seriously. He's been seeing a therapist yet still can't control his anger; he's clearly a frustrated, angry individual and no one can change that but him.
There's no logical reason for anyone to feel sorry for Idra, he made his own bed. Good luck getting a decent job in SF without an edcucation., Greg. He'll probably just continue streaming, knowing that he has fans who would defend him no matter what he says or does.

Top 3 professionals at NA server: Suppy, Scarlett, and Polt (in no particular order). Rest of pros trail these 3 by at least a mile. Demuslim definitely needs to be in this mix. Not long ago, he was teaching Suppy how to handle 2-rax cheese. He was beating him constantly even though Suppy knew it was coming. No doubt Suppy has been quickly rising through the ranks though. He is probably the best player from the United States (native) right now and that's saying a lot considering he's a college student. Demu isn't American. And Polt is? Team USA bro
It was a long, hard-fought bout between Stephano and Polt but in the end only one can claim NA status.

Yes Incontrol is responsible for his friends actions. Are you 12 years old or just a troll? Nope, I'm 30. And when a friend of mine who happens to be my coworker behaves like idra to the customers I would've had a serious talk. Think about the EG House as a mall and the players are the cashier. How long do you think would Idra have been employed? Entertainment-BM is one thing, idra is a whole other story. And how exactly do you want to know about what things iNcontroL and IdrA may or may not have talked in private? I know EG did quite a lot of things to help him with his mentality over the years and Geoff was likely involved. So, the question to be asked is: Geoff is incontrol of what exactely?  At the end of the day the EG Team appears, from the other side of the ocean, to be a mere soap opera with no affect on esports anymore whatsoever. Whatever games/tournaments i saw in the past year, EG was nonexistent. I even have not seen anything from stephano since he joined the team, but that can be a coincidence. I still don't feel sorry for anyone involved. I just found the cheesy poor incontrol talk pretty annoying. You know, when you look at incontrol you might think he stresses his manhood. ^^ Your comments lacks substance.. to post that it would be better if you didn't post anything.. Talking crap about incontrol, EG for what really ? and they have no effect in eSports?? really? i think this thread proves otherwise
The only thing this thread proves is that people love soap operas.

Oh my , can't believe this would ever happen. I thought EG was ok with his behavior, i guess there is always a tipping point.
What time is going to snatch him!? maybe he goes to kespa team

lol
I'd definitely watch that LoL finals especially if chat is allowed/encouraged

The whole problem here is that Idra felt invincible. EG let him feel like he could keep abusing and harassing people at will. EG was inherently a part of this, and they should learn their lesson - don't let your players think they're untouchable.
I wish Idra focused more on playing and less on making people think he's the best.

Uh, probably not. Kespa teams are really strict when it comes to conduct.

I'm glad it happened. I mean, I don't want IdrA to get unemployed, but it will be really good for him. Now he has the oportunity to seek other horizons, make new plans and do what he likes (he already stated he doesn't like the game sc2 itself, am I right?).
I was starting to hate the confortable-bubble he was at in EG. No good results, still BM and being pleased to have some stream time while he spend his life doing something he clearly doesn't want to. I really hope IdrA to leave SC2 and go search his happiness.
Good luck and have fun, IdrA!
P.S.: some particular event which culminated in his release or EG just got full of IdrA's shit?

IDRA FOREVER SINCE BW!
hate all you want. dont like him? dont watch him. he has all the rights to treat anyone in any way he wants over internet and the game.
And he still has that right, only now he won't get payed for it, like the rest of us :p.

I don't think thread size means that much... Destiny had this big a thread too and he didn't go anywhere. It is interesting that I liked Destiny a lot more when he left SC2, his posts were really high quality on Reddit the few epic ones I saw. I wonder if the spotlight just drives people crazy eventually, or the game + stress. Would not be surprised to see Idra be a lot more likable in a couple months assuming he doesn't get picked up immediately and go back to gaming tomorrow.
If Idra destresses and goes off and has a vacation, I bet we see a much happier Greg.

In professional life, you can't act like a spoiled, raging child and expect your employers to deal with it. I applaud EG for treating their business like a business and not like a day care center.
IdrA -- you can be relevent without being immature (I hope). Find your path bud. Your lack of respect for the community, other players, and yourself has become painful to see. Good luck.

Yes I realize that, and back then he actually behaved. I really don't think very many Kespa teams would touch him with a ten foot pole given the lack of results and poor attitude.

Destiny made an epic post yesterday. In reddit he stated to this very topic that he is still hiring for a LoL team. xD Made my day. ^^

i guess it was a mix of loss streak in any major tournament on one hand and fans hyping him up like a god disregarding such general lack of result and badmanner on the other hand that made his BM even more unbearable.
