people saying "idra has been my idol, i got into sc2 thanks to him"

maaannnn, people need better figure heads...

determination, hard work, innovation, mannerism, respect: boxer (or so i think)

i reaaaally dont understand how people can love idra but not boxer (though he had no presence in sc2 like he did in bw) T.T (maybe just difference in culture lol)

I really hope he at least continues as a pro-gamer on another team. Too many fond MLG memories of him performing well to want to see him go away completely.

Liquid has too many zergs, so it just wouldn't be a good fit. Also, is there still a Zenio-Idra rivalry? Acer could be a good fit, but ultimately, I think there will be an individual sponsorship ala MC / Naniwa unless EG chooses to re-enlist him after tempers cool down and people figure out a plan to help Idra manage how the frustration he's feeling now.


Idra will not be picked up by any team. EG is the only team that will tolerate the BM and bullshit that Idra was putting out. That alone would have gotten him kicked off any other team. let alone the fact that he has had absolutely zero results in the past two years. He's irrelevant and will simply disappear.


This is what will most likely happen.


Don't bet on it. Still waiting for Destiny to disappear.

We just lost a big piece of SC2 history, and a great personality. You're all idiots for celebrating. This is as solemn an announcement as it can get. IdrA will likely disappear without EG, and the Sc2 community will be worse for it.

It's not all about pure streaming numbers and reddit threads. They did the right thing.

Every single player they have is highly marketable. More than entire teams. When it comes to sponsors they probably wont be hurting that much and after Idra's comments basically calling his fans and the guys who pay him idiots this move was the right choice regardings sponsors as well.

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.


ROFL. Where to start? "One of the greatest players?" What a joke statement. idrA was an awful player and has been for quite a long time now. 10 times my salary? Another hilarious statement. I make infinitely more than idrA, he doesn't have a salary anymore. I called him a burger flipper because he has no education and no job experience what so ever... with a very poor attitude....... disliked amongst his team by some of the players... etc. He's a joke and it's about time he got booted out the door.

coudnt agree more ! respect to you!

Good lesson for him:

Don't take things for granted. Especially in this day & age and economy. Treat people with respect...always.

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.

I was going to write something but you summed up the gist of what I was going to say.
I respected Alex's decision during the racist/bigoted language issue a while back and I don't see this as being any different. I don't know how much money IdrA made for EG itself but obviously Alex is putting his personal and business values at a higher priority which there is nothing deplorable about.

RIP in piece Greg

Wow. I wonder if IdrA is going to quit and start pursing a Physics degree? For where IdrA is now, I think attending college while still streaming to sustain a portion of his income would be his best bet.

Seems like even the other players weren't informed... That makes this move of EG's management even worse, every player at EG will now be shakened.

Guess they will now have to tell every player "no you're not the next"...and stuff, good work, EG....


What?
