EPTIn the end, we are all fuckers that watch some fucking nerds play video games, for a living.
Let that sink in for a while.
Best of luck for Idra.

Well , you really just changed everyone opinion ..... Everyone's thinking now aren't they ?!?! ..... Lol. Idra has been acting like a prick for too long , still 1 of my favourite players , he's the guy I 1st really learnt from watching , teaching me the basics of sc2 playing Zerg , little tricks that work a treat and so forth. But .... ... He has been playing awful for a long time without even a glimpse of promise .... Hope he does well and starts to be competitive again .... Doubt we will see that though. | ||

I've been watching idra for years, and in that time he has had more positive moments in EG that far out weighted the small minority of ugly comments he has made, and sadly Physics dictates that one large enough negative can cancel a thousand positives. | ||

I let it sink for a while and came to the conclusion that your comment is retarded. Thank you for contributing! | ||

But Idra is also right when he said that industries respect one unique law: "Business is business". He could say everything he told us using this little sentence... | ||

Until near the end of WoL, he carried on using the old-fashioned muta-ling-bling against Terran and even hydras against Protoss. He didn't like massing queens and never seemed to master roach-ling pressure.However, both those guys never really pushed from being really top-tier foreign Zergs when the metagame/whatever you want to call it was clearly more favourable to Zergs towards the end of WoL. It's always been pretty bizarre to me. Probably the success of 2011 got to his head and he thought he was so superior to the NA scrubs that he doesn't have to pay any attention to them. And unsurprisingly, that didn't work so well. And then he starts getting apathetic and even more out of the loop, I suppose. | ||

Too true, lately other than being notorious as the bad boy of eSports, he is becoming notorious for being a choker. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=choker Edit: idrA basically signed his own pink slip as a progamer in that WCS(AM) Ro32 ragequit vs Polt yesterday. | ||

While not brought in the nicest way, it is still pretty close to the truth. Imagine if Idra never did anything besides playing a game and typing GG in the end. No one would have heard of him in the first place. | ||

So according to your logic not telling someone they should die of cancer would imply that you're afraid to talk.... | ||

Playing the style of turtle till deathball and win while it worked is just something that doesn't work for everyone. For example, when that style became pretty much the only way to consistently win games, I dropped in skill a ton. Something that was easy to do, I sucked at. I couldn't handle the bl/corr/infestor. Now by couldn't handle I mean it was so boring I hated having to do it. There are just some players like me (and presumably ret/idra) who just can't do that style very good because it was incredibly boring and doesn't play to the players strengths. For instance I would say my mechanics are pretty good. When it came down to that deathball style play, mechanics didn't really matter as it mainly came down to just getting the army. If you somehow lost a 200/200 bl/corr/infestor army (something that was very rare lol) you can't really remax on that in a timely frame and that's usually gg. Short version: Some players can't play that boring turtley style very well, I would guarantee idra/ret and many others were that way which is why their results didn't get better. Makes a lot of sense, I've long suffered from trying not to either turtle or allin as Protoss, as it's my personal preference stylistically | ||

Thats why they are pros. idk Do you agree with me that TL is a pretty well moderated site? They keep the posters "in line with a certain code" (although the language used in some "you are banned" messages could be a little more polite IMO) through a set of disciplinary measures. First you get warned (for mild offenses) and after not showing a sign of improvement you are banned for a few days or maybe even more. This action of EG is basically the same ... they "warned" him a few times and tried to work towards improving his temper quite a bit, but there comes a time when someone simply has to get banned ... It might not only be the comment which he has made in public, but also "his personal attitude in the office" of which we know nothing. In the end it is the sum of his actions and a justifiable response by EG. | ||
