Well, he wasn't as ahead as the MMA game. On the other hand, when do you ever see someone tapping out with a 200/200 army and 3k/3k? Be sure to watch Rotterdam's prediction ~10 minutes earlier as well.

Ignorance is a bliss, especially when you forgot the part when he said the cancer comment was actually a joke and he over-exaggerated his comment for the sake of 'comedy.' People like you pansy over it for no reason and actually think he's serious. Get real and go outside and get some fresh air. Nobody here wishes people to actually die. You honestly think IdrA would actually wish for someone to get cancer or get fucked by a tire iron. LMFAO

It's great that people like you exist. Because at least you recognize you're being lied to every single day. "I care about my fans." "The only reason why I play is my fans." "My fans are my world." LMFAO Pro gamers nowadays are so FAKE. Last time I checked the most popular sports are the ones that have some 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.

This thread is getting way to philosophical. Why are we talking about fake good mornings? There is the more simple parallel with pre-game/post-game handshakes you see in soccer/basketball/tennis. I think it's actually good that the e-sport scene has adopted some form of exchange between players to show sportsmanship or lack thereof. Imagine people just enter games and leave, not saying anything. Riveting.
Sports is built upon tradition. In tennis it is custom to shake hands after a game to show sportsmanship. So when a player refuses to shake hands it's dramatic. When the idra doesn't gg, it's dramatic because that custom is in place.

When exactly?

Last time I checked the biggest trash talker of all time Rasheed Wallace is still playing basketball professionally on the New York Knicks "Ball DON'T LIE."
Last time I checked J.R. Smith talked about having sexual intercourse with a minor--he's still on the Knicks and he won this year's Sixth Man of the Year award.
Last time I checked Yankees players are the most arrogant people of all time--still the highest paid professional baseball players in the world.
Last time I checked Kobe Bryant got involved in a sex scandal in 2004, he won two championships after that.
Last time I checked Michael Vick got CONVICTED for animal abuse or something along those lines. He's one of the premier NFL quarterbacks today.
Last time I checked Metta World Peace/Ron Artest is the most violent person in all sports (he punched FANS). He's still playing professionally for the Lakers.
Last time I checked Floyd Mayweather gets legal issues almost all the time. He's widely considered the best pound-for-pound boxer and the most valuable boxer in the world.

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.

Well, I smile and say "good morning" every morning, and I'm rarely sincere.

So what do u usually feel when you say those words?iam curius

I'm just satisfied to uphold basic courtesy rules and conforming myself to well-established social conventions.
Do you really think about every person's morning and deeply wish this particular morning goes well? I sure don't do that :/

you don't need to deeply think about their morning to wish them a good one

game 1


Thanks. 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)

it really doesn't matter if IdrA meant it or not, this isn't the point

I personally wouldn't give a flying fuck if he had told me that he wished that I get cancer because he's agitated, but I know some people may care or even be hurt by it, you can call them pansies if you want since you seem to be such a real man

all I'm saying is you shouldn't try and get personal over competition, sports or e-sports

Try pulling some of that shit in football and you WILL suffer the consequences - no matter how important you are - Balotelli should tell you as much. I would rather say that if anything, the communities of the sports you mentioned should get their shit together and stop excusing terrible behavior from people who represent their interests and they want to be role models of society - so what if your team loses a single match - the sport will be better for it.

Having been in the CS 1.6 scene and knowing a bit about the LoL scene, gotta say SC nerds are quite a bit more insecure and sensitive to internet insults. We live in a world where drama makes the most money, not being nice. Most people who say GLHF and GG don't mean it anyway - they say it cause it's the norm they're tring to fit in.

Mots people that say "good morning" don't really care for how good a morning you might have. Etiquette is important in the world of adults. Only children and the socially retarded don't understand this. Idra is not a child.


This etiquette is horrible, I would much rather have someone tell me their true feelings that they wish me cancer and die compared to this false shit "good morning", with a fakeass smile.
World of adults is really insane. Children are more sane then grown ups, took me a long time to finally wake up and actually see this. They say things right out, and its ME who goes insane in my mind at take offense instead of actually understanding their question and statements. We are all a bunch of sick fucks, and only admitting how insane we are, can we start to actually work on it. Like alcoholics do, they actually stop denying their problem, and admit they are sick.

... who do you think you're kidding here... anybody would take the fake good morning before the "i wish you cancer and die"

ignorance is bliss anyway, why the fuck would you want to know every ill feelings people have towards you


Ignorance is a bliss, especially when you forgot the part when he said the cancer comment was actually a joke and he over-exaggerated his comment for the sake of 'comedy.' People like you pansy over it for no reason and actually think he's serious. Get real and go outside and get some fresh air. Nobody here wishes people to actually die. You honestly think IdrA would actually wish for someone to get cancer or get fucked by a tire iron. LMFAO

It's great that people like you exist. Because at least you recognize you're being lied to every single day. "I care about my fans." "The only reason why I play is my fans." "My fans are my world." LMFAO Pro gamers nowadays are so FAKE. Last time I checked the most popular sports are the ones that have some personality. Why do you think NFL, MLB, and NBA are so popular--because their players actually have some fucking personality.


This thread is getting way to philosophical. Why are we talking about fake good mornings? There is the more simple parallel with pre-game/post-game handshakes you see in soccer/basketball/tennis. I think it's actually good that the e-sport scene has adopted some form of exchange between players to show sportsmanship or lack thereof. Imagine people just enter games and leave, not saying anything. Riveting.
Sports is built upon tradition. In tennis it is custom to shake hands after a game to show sportsmanship. So when a player refuses to shake hands it's dramatic. When the idra doesn't gg, it's dramatic because that custom is in place.


We're not talking about sportsmanship like shaking hands or GGs. We're talking trash talk and comments in forums and whatnot. That's what got IdrA in trouble not the lack of GGs.


Yeah I was commenting on "Most people who say GLHF and GG don't mean it anyway - they say it cause it's the norm they're tring to fit in." 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?

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?

Last time I checked the biggest trash talker of all time Rasheed Wallace is still playing basketball professionally on the New York Knicks "Ball DON'T LIE."
Last time I checked J.R. Smith talked about having sexual intercourse with a minor--he's still on the Knicks and he won this year's Sixth Man of the Year award.
Last time I checked Yankees players are the most arrogant people of all time--still the highest paid professional baseball players in the world.
Last time I checked Kobe Bryant got involved in a sex scandal in 2004, he won two championships after that.
Last time I checked Michael Vick got CONVICTED for animal abuse or something along those lines. He's one of the premier NFL quarterbacks today.
Last time I checked Metta World Peace/Ron Artest is the most violent person in all sports (he punched FANS). He's still playing professionally for the Lakers.
Last time I checked Floyd Mayweather gets legal issues almost all the time. He's widely considered the best pound-for-pound boxer and the most valuable boxer in the world.

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.


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.

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.

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.
