Obviously very disappointing to see. IdrA was the reason why my interest in SC2 and the professional esports scene peaked (his work ethic, overall likability, ability to communicate, and his passion). So there's no real way to sugar coat this.. it sucks.

However, given recent events, I can see why EG had to do what they did. I will continue to support IdrA as well as EG in the future. Excited to see what the future has in store.

This guy is the biggest a$$hole in E-sport History. I'm so glad he is finally out and really hope he will not return on any condition.

Beeing an old "progamer" on an all-different sort of game (Quake), I find that throwing 3000/3000 200/200 games at this level is like stating that "I dont have the level required to play at this stage, i'm just ragequiting".

I hope he ends up washing the floor at McDonald's, that's all he deserves from the little I've heard him say about people and opponents on his stream.

I hope you fail good in the future Idra.

This is retarded. 'I object to this person being an asshole, I take affront to it'............ Types a message that is just as obnoxious.



I may have been a little "like him" on my statement, I agree with that. But it's the only way I got to express how Idra made me feel the few times I've tried his stream. His vocabulary depth was about 3 words : "fucker", "noob", "noobfuckernoob".

I can't stand a World Class known player behaving like this... just makes me sick

Got shitload of respect for EG for what they invest in esports since years. That beeing in total contradiction with what Idra did for the last 3 years... just my 2c

Well you made a second post, so perhaps you're not just here to Idra-bash

I hope this was sarcasm lol


We have tennis pros that insult their opponents. Football (soccer) stars that physically assault other players or doing the nazi salute.



.....aaaand are fined and not allowed to play in the national team as a consequence.


You are so right, not to mention that in pro sports, like Baseball, players that are toxic to a team or franchise have been removed on various occasions from those clubs (Carlos Zambrano, Milton Bradley for example.) Both of those players were good, and in some cases very good players, but they had consequences for their actions.

To think that pro sports don't have this problem is just a bit silly...yes they can get away with saying some things, but when it goes to the excess and extreme as Idra has over the years, it ends up in bad places for those players...and I am an Idra fan...but I completely understand EGs move here.

As always, you can act w/e way you want as long as you keep winning...

Idra stopped being relevant in the competitive scene, this is the result.

I like people to speak their mind. Even if it's nasty, at least it's honest. I don't like sponsor drones who always try to be politically correct.

Only reason for me to stop watching Idra is if he went to LoL.
I really hope not. Riot probably already poaching him though with shitloads of money and promises he can say whatever he wants :/


You can chill.

Riot doesn't pay toxic players, they ban them. Would make no sense for Riot to pay a specific person to play LoL, when they have much bigger stars already within the community. Just EGs own LoL stars are bigger, Wickd having 140k+ viewers on his personal stream during the LCS all-star votes. Without public toxic behavior.

Tiger woods - Infidelity. He bounces back by winning. Charlie Sheen style.

Greg 'IdrA' Fields - Bad call, bad public comment. Kyle Sandilands** style.

Will he bounce back? I hope so man, he needs to re-establish his love for the game, and perhaps come back with a different play-style to freshen it up. Good luck to him, he will learn from this.

** Kyle Sandilands, Australian radio and TV personality; got in deep shit for saying the wrong thing to general public and certain individuals. He survived the backlash and is still being hired.



How is that even related ? Tiger Woods problem is between him and his wife. He isn't fucking cheating you.

I think EG did the best thing for them but more important for Greg. Sometimes you need huge changes to better understand you and your problems, and Idra surely has issues with the game, with his work and his life. I don't like him, but i hope this is his occasion to clear his mind and find something that makes him feel happy

The lack of results was not the reason, but results might have prevented the release. If he had gone through the group and made the same posts I don't think EG would have fired him.

To say that his results didn't factor into his release whatsoever is a bit silly. After all, he wouldn't have said those things if he were winning. Therefore, his results indirectly resulted in his removal from the team.

Also if he won dreamhack or something, he could say anything in the world and still not get kicked off the team.

Anybodie who claims that his performance wasn't a factor in this decision is just delusional, sorry. Sources does not matter, they wont tell you a real reasons even if Alex said otherwise, that's just how companies works.

It's just a business, as long as his behaviour grabbed attention through epousure, they ware gaining money. Now when he is not relevant there is no way of gaining money from his BM.

PS. Now I finally can start to like this team...
