Be sure to watch Rotterdam's prediction ~10 minutes earlier as well. | ||

I gotta see this. Hope its as lol worthy as Idra vs MMA :p you also should listen to idra explaination for leaving that game early in the real talk video. Most people won't understand why he left early but I hope at least some of the smarter players would see why he did that because many players don't understand the late game situation is a lot more than just mining base, bank and supply. + Show Spoiler + Polt had half the map uncontested, there is little to no way for idra to break split map situation without losing whole army. idra is not able to defend his 5th (or 6th?) due to how spread out the bases are and polt can consistently denies it due to mobile army and a very safe turtle location with the PFs and mines and main army there. Polt also has a large number of raven with energy which is supposed to be the most difficult part for a sky terran transition Skyterran is insanely powerful and difficult to kill The only way idra can win was if polt did something stupid which he thinks polt wouldn't because polt is a smart player (funny how people think idra is disrespectful to every player) | ||

Posters went on a tangent about etiquette that I found interesting. As for the original topic I think it's pretty obvious that EG is a brand and they were justified because who wants to support a player that attacks the fans? That said I honestly think it was more of a "last straw" between Idra and management. Sadly I think it might have helped him to have results at this point. From the current perspective, he's just a player who is rude to the fans while having no recent success. What part of that formula is profitable? | ||

Honestly, I think part of it is that each of those people have the game to back up their trash talk or misbehavior. Idra himself admits he hasn't (hadn't?) been doing well lately, especially in relation to the size of his contract.... when you're in that precarious situation you can't afford to be mouthing off as well.... If some nobody in any of the sports you mentioned pulled any of those stunts it would be entirely natural that they get fired. Of course Idra's not a complete nobody, but it just seemed like the only publicity he gets (got?) nowadays was from bad manner, instead of how he used to have good results along with exciting rivalries. Just too bad he couldn't have let the chill side of his personality show more in public rather than just the competitive, angry one. He'll probably be an excellent caster now that he's not playing competitively. | ||

I can keep going if you want me to. The point is: This community needs to fucking grow a pair. Who cares about drama? Just watch the fucking game. Rasheed Wallace dialed down his behaviour during his stint in Portland after realizing the impact it was having on his children (who were being harassed at school). He was also frequently suspended and fined whenever he acted out. Kobe Bryant had to go to trial, settle out of court for possibly tens of millions of dollars, and play OUT OF HIS MIND in order to save his reputation. He had to pretty much become the best player in the league after that scandal to keep himself marketable. Ron Artest suffered huge consequences for his temper. He was bounced from team to team, despite being the best defensive player in the league since Dennis Rodman. After the fight he was suspended from the league for a year, and traded away to the bottom-feeding Kings. The only reason he's on the Lakers is because he took a pay cut way below his skill level. Don't pretend that none of these players didn't suffer any consequences for their behaviour, because they did. You're the one blowing this way out of proportion. All IdrA did was lose his job. It's not the end of fun or personality or shit-talking in e-sports. He's going to get plenty more opportunities. The community doesn't 'need to grow a pair' just because a player lost his job for doing something he promised his boss he wouldn't do. Sheeeeeesh. | ||

Why do you think NFL, MLB, and NBA are so popular--because their players actually have some fucking personality. Yes, and they get dropped by sponsors and fined by their team or the league when their "personality" is deemed detrimental to the business. When exactly?

You're pretty emotionally invested in idra's it's clouding your judgement. For the more egregious examples, the players suffered worse consequences than idra. Michael Vick went to freaking jail, which in turn meant released from his team and he lost all his sponsors. Artest was suspended for a year for his actions. I don't agree with some athletes and behaviour and the amount of second chances they get. However, in all cases you need to have extraordinary skill to overcome those incidents. Look at Javaris Crittenton who was involved in the gun incident with gilbert arenas. He's out of the league because he just wasn't that valuable a player so wasn't worth the trouble. Idra got released from his team and you're trying to equate it to these sports examples saying the athletes got off scott free? Idra's punishment is nothing compared to them. He was released from EG, but he's not prevented from finding a new team. He just chose to retire as a player. Boy these idra fanboys sure love to exaggerate his martyr status that it's quite laughable. | ||
