His personality was never really as much an asset to EG as someone like incontrol or demuslim,he should have been released for no results a while ago

I think it is how he has been shitting all over the community in general and not winning. Not saying that is the reason, but that's what I am aware of.

What did he say? I can understand why the press release didn't link to Idra's rant, but I want to know what happened. Anyone?

It's hard to put this release into perspective. Mostly because Idra's career was out of perspective. His abrasive personality won him fans and foes, but the attention he garnered was not in perspective to his accomplishments in the game. Idra was synonymous with the question the industry has been struggling with for the entirety of it's life-span - is this about sport or about entertainment? As with many other organizations including every major sport, it's a little bit of both.

So I guess this release asks the question is it about time? And if it's been overdue for this long, why even release him? It seems like an invisible line in the sand has been crossed, and I certainly don't blame Idra for crossing it. His fans wanted him to cross it. The reality that his personality was more important than his play was pretty much factual, so it doesn't make too much sense that Alex chose this infraction to let him go.

Going forward, this release will make a lot more sense should this been the moment in time where we as fans begin to appreciate good players and good play in general over slightly less good play with a bit of personality. To be honest, I'm not sure that's the direction this sport is headed. It think it's a mix, and it will always be a mix, and I think Idra was an integral part of that mix, albeit on one polar end of the scale.

Right now Incontrol is saying on SOTG that Greg will be a hot commodity that will be the central pickup of any team in the future. I'm not 100% sure that's true. I'm pretty certain that there's no other player that is intrinsically tied to a team than Idra is with Evil Geniuses. The release from EG is a downvote from one of the most important E-Sports organizations in NA. I'm not sure that this release doesn't take Idra's stock and lower it significantly.

So in the coming weeks and months, this is the one bit of Starcraft 2 news that I will be following, because I think it's a watershed moment in esports. Or at least it could be. But I don't think it will be, and that might make idra some sort of a martyr. Were you not entertained?
Playoffs? You're talking about playoffs?

I felt the comment he made was unnecessary but deserved to be kicked from the team was harsh. He did let his frustration and the community get to him. Which resulted in the comment he made. From what I hear when you talk to him face to face is a very nice guy. I wish him the best and hope he can get on another team and hopefully control the frustration .

idrA was such a shit player. Worst attitude in e-sports world wide. Understandable that they booted his ass off the team. iNcontroL is doing his best to prop up idrA's shinking ship, but it's not all that believable. 1 year from now, idrA best burger flipper NA.

He loses to his teammates and rages at them. His man-child antics towards Demuslim are hilariously pathetic. The kid is of low moral character.

I think this a good move, for sc2 e-sports, for EG, a good story and maybe even for Idra. Might change something in his life for the better in the future.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
