Has anyone seen Idra stream, compete, make a comment on a Starcraft related topic in 2013? I haven't. I have never been impressed with his gameplay. The only reason I think he has fans is because he goes "Hulk" mode when he loses (which is more often than not even when he isn't playing against Koreans). I don't know what he said to get fired from EG but in my opinion this was just an excuse for them to cut some dead weight.


you havent seen idra stream in 2013?
so - have u been on teamliquid in 2013?

no i have not been on TL in 2013 because I am from the future. I mean really...of course he has been on TL in 2013 when it is 2013 lol

Wow, just wow.

Demu and Stephano had long taken over his spot as my favorite Evil Geniuses but Idra was the guy that first attracted me to SC2. And he is still the best player to ever come out of the United States as far as tournament winnings.

I'd been frustrated with Grack recently but this still hits me pretty hard :'(

I feel kind of .... sad? I mean he was an iconic e-sports character so i can see him either retiring or destroying people in the next few months.


Imagine if he starts destroying now :D.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

seems like a copout. idra hasn't changed since i started watching him around the 2008 time frame.


When normally Idra made idiotic statements. This is the first time he dragged EG into them by saying that he doesn't get paid for results but to actively be an asshole to "the community". That puts EG in a negative spotlight. If he didn't say that I don't see anything happening and just business as usual. He dragged EG's business practice into it and they probably had a conversation and he said fuck it.

EG punished him for telling the truth? lol. the community feeds off this shit.

i imagine they just got tired of his bullshit and he wasnt producing enough results to make him worthwhile anymore. however, his saying that he gets paid to be an asshole seems par for the course for him, and punishment for that is laughable.

100% agreed.

Would be nice to have a discussion on this, but the thread is a bit intense ATM!

I wonder if Idra will retire now. He hasn't had any results in over a year, now stands teamless and apparently he doesn't enjoy the game. I'd miss him. Although I've never liked him, he sure makes for drama and entertainment wherever he goes, that's for sure.

So judging by the post it looks like he was released for something he said, not because he is and always has been an underachieving player?

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.


105 posts and then call one of the greatest players a burger flipper even though he probably earns 10 times your salary =).

stay classy.


Greatest is a loose term. Remember who won TLS II...

Honestly Incontrol's diatribe is precisely what's wrong with popular culture (and seems spot on). It'll be interesting if he survives because he is nothing like Nani. Nani has consistenly produced results and looked to produce results. Idra Not so much.

Edit; Original link for the confused defenders

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=411483&currentpage=4#73


nani is also a lot less likable and has less to sell to viewers and fans

That tells a lot about why the AM scene does not prosper despite talent being there imho.



There would be no NA scene if not for idra

IdrA states the truth about the dumb ass community, said community (who are too stupid to realize this) gets incredibly angry and their shit management decides to release him. Only 5 year old girls should get offended by any comment he makes, y'all are the ones that need to be shamed.

I'm going to take a wild guess that it might just be on the front page, maybe at the top if you were to go to /r/starcraft.
