Idra dug his own grave, and frankly I must say, good riddance, he represented my home state VERY poorly. (Before he moved) | ||

Edit your post quick before a mod sees it! =) The ironic thing about saying 'edit your post before a mod sees it and telling someone that there post is a bannable post is that that in itself is a warnable/tempbannable post in itself as it is backseat moderating! See how that loop works? Now I'm in it also!!! : D hahaha shit Please stop putting *popcorn* after everything, this is like the second time in 4 pages I've seen it... That is all I wanted to say  | ||

Entertainers entertain no matter what personality they have. People that are rude get people to hate them, lovable people get love, etc. Day9 is known as the nicest dude in esports, but he keeps a keyboard next to his desk that he smashed to bits after losing in WCG. Idra is known as the biggest asshole in esports, but everyone close to him knows him as giggly and nice. | ||

They warned him, fined him tons of times over a period of three years . .. hired a him a Therapist . . . pampered the shit out of him in the EG lair . . . should they have spoon-fed him caviar and preemptively stationed a porn-star in his bed every night? What the hell else do you really want from a team like Evil Geniuses, anyhow? Any other excuses you'd like to "attempt" in the defense of Idra? Lol . . . P.S. The melodrama of your post almost made me fall out of my chair. "They just stabbed a pro-gamer in the heart and left him out to bleed" . . . I hope Alex Garfield doesn't read some of these posts, as he might choke on his Fillet Mignon. | ||

On the exterior they are sell outs, on the inside they are .... Um, EG is still paying out his rent despite releasing him from the team. They also did more for IdrA than any other team in the world would, in terms of salary and accommodations. They went as far as getting him a sports psychologist. They've been walking on eggshells and coddling him for almost three years. This decision obviously isn't about money, because IdrA still draws huge stream numbers, that EG can sell to sponsors. This decision comes after countless second chances that the team, and various leagues, have given IdrA to meet his potential. Also, no one in esports lies to themselves more than IdrA. He pretends not to care about the game, but rages and curses people out when he loses. He blames every loss on balance, game design, stupid plays, or dumb luck, instead of blaming himself. He hates people that he considers worse players than him, but openly brags that he gets paid whether he wins or loses. He pretends to be a straight shooter that tells it like it is, but freaks out at anyone with the nerve to criticize him. IdrA is a lot of things, but don't kid yourself. He's not 'keeping it real'. He's like a lot of guys in their early twenties — they don't like where their life is headed so take their bullshit out on everyone and else. Honestly, the only thing that EG didn't do for him, until now, is show him tough love and let him go. Hopefully it's exactly the kind of motivation IdrA needs to come back. | ||
