About time I feel. Unless there is a radical change in Idra, he will fade away. Which is what he wants based on his attitude...
He'll end up dead, because he'll die.

Pretty indifferent to the whole thing to be honest. I never cared for his lack of professionalism and general decency but thats only my preference. I can certainly understand the release. Seems behavior as eSports grows will become more of a hot button issue.

Yea EG only relied on Idra, they might aswell disband now


Really...

Both Thorzain and Stephano both have some left in the tank. They were the best foreigners for their races in 2012 for christ sake. Demu looking as good as ever. Suppy is probably the best zerg in the US now and quickly rising. They also have a great Korean squad. EG is far from dead.


He was being sarcastic....the emoticon gives it away.

Will be interesting to see what happens next for him. You can't deny that when SC2 was first released and most people's enthusiasm and excitement for the game was still there and genuine, he was not only one of the best foreigners but also one of the best zerg in the world. It's a shame how things have turned out considering how much talent he possessed, but nonetheless this was expected.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Let's be completely honest here.
IdrA, regardless of his results in BW and the first year of SC2, has been coasting on that reputation for a long time, while being probably the biggest case of the profit > results mentality that plagues Western eSports. As long as people like him, Destiny et al continue to be valued for their stream viewer numbers and their "personalities" over bringing up promising talent, NA and EU will continue to lag behind KR in terms of development.
People like IdrA need to be cut out of eSports. Glad to see the back of him.

idra not in EG => dead SC2

hmmm.. i have seen idra for the first time in a major tournament since the one MLG where he lost against MMA.

wasnt that like a year ago? shouldnt SC2 be dead by now since Idra is not in major competitions per se?

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.


This.



Actually as someone who was not mad at what idra said... all I have to say is that no organization in any other sport would have tolerated what he said, especially considering he has had no results lately and left that game when it was winnable the other day. This is not highschool people. It is time to grow up and realize what the real world is like.

Snowball, chance in hell, etc etc etc. I don't see it happening. If he keeps playing professionally I read Complexity, or Korean team.

30 pages here and around 650 comemnts on reddit in 30 minutes, I think Idra is worth a lot for many teams and sponsors, he can make something good out of this, a fresh start.

He is not worth nearly as much as that alone suggests. A lot of it is hate, and negative publicity is not good publicity for most sponsors and in any case it does not come close to match positive publicity that a guy like demuslim, grubby or suppy could provide a team with. Idra is clearly on a solid downwards spiral, and unless you think he can somehow turn that around it would be foolish to invest heavily in such a short-term exposure. If he keeps barely playing NA GM level, then he soon won't get invited to anything and he already can't qualify through the easiest of qualifiers (like shoutcraft AM). Sponsors will have to deal with people sending them "hate mail" because they support Idra. Idra will continue damage the brand of his sponsors in public. Idra may be a good investment if you can get him at the price of a qxc or kane and you for some reason just want some eyes on your product, but not at "top EG salary".

talk to your fellow viewers then. because they dont reward results, either for players or teams. code S koreans can stream and get less than 500 viewers. the community forgets about a big tournament win as soon as the next big tournament happens.
a business' purpose is to make money. winning is at best tangentially related to making money in this industry, solely because of what you and the rest of the community chooses to watch. and any company who tries to lead the charge in the direction you're asking for is gonna go out of business. we arent "abusing a competitive platform" we work in an entertainment industry and you guys are entertained by pandering, not competition.


Idra, in an insight in why he behaves the way he does.

I am sure he is a nice fellow, who is pained and crying inside by his enforced facade for entertainment whenever he streams.

nope you're all a bunch of fucks
it just so happens i get paid to treat you like it. it's fucking awesome.

User was temp banned for this post.


Will TL perm him now that he isn't attached to EG?


why would you think him being on EG gives him some kind of immunity for harsh forum punishment
