I watched IdrA years ago in broodwar and i still like him very much ... he says what he thinks and thats good! Idra have many viewers and i suppose 80% of the viewer are his fans and not on the stream to see him raging. I hope your come back it would be terrible if u rentire ..( for the whole esport ) It would be nice if IdrA goes the way to a professional caster  Get a new team fucker!!!  | ||

That makes the game boring, I like watching people play starcraft but I also like seeing personality in the players that play starcraft. If you are going to have a variety of personality then you are obviously going to get some villian types like idra. How boring would a batman movie be without a villian? This isn't a movie. These aren't fake emotions. This isn't acting. Based on his behavior the past few years it's quite hard to call him anything other than a cynical asshole. Would you watch all the Batman movies if Batman sat there every 10 minutes and called you a stupid fuck? Called you a loser, cheeser, telling the designer of the movie he should take a tire iron up the ass? No, you wouldn't. If this was a movie it'd be fine. But this is who he actually is. Whether or not you like it you need to act professional when in public. You can't just go around "shitting" on people. There are repercussions. He now has to face them. | ||

Even though IdrA is not the kind of person you'd feel sympathy for i still think that this is quite a loss. Obviously i don't know what IdrA has up his sleeves, but i would not be surprised to see him retire any day now for several reasons. First i'm not sure which kind of team would pick him up at this point. He is notoriously bad mannered and he haven't had the results to back it up lately. Honestly he feels more like a community figure such as incontrol than an actual pro player. Even though his stream has decent viewer count (to say the least) i doubt it is enough to make a living off in the long run. Furthermore he is 23 years old now. If he ever wants to get en education and start living a normal life, it's about time. | ||

with that said, in seriousness, EG is a fucking stupid company to ever exists. They banned stephano for no reason once. And now they ban idra who ohhh said something mean to the fans. who gives a fuck. no one takes it seriously. he still got views and brought in people. His streams had good commentary. What is surprizing is why does EG have fucking incontrol on their payroll? the guy does nothing for the company, for sc, or for himself. just sitting there like a fat fuck. I will not be surprized if anna prosser leaves the fat fuck for good in 1-2 years - has no job and plays video games hes not even good at. and idra needs to go to korea and actaully fucing do something. compete and train with ACTUAL sc2 pros. not losers like the ones in Eg house User was temp banned for this post. | ||

He said that about money Idra would be asking from other teams now that he's let go from EG. And that a team wouldn't pay Idra that amount of money just to sit at home and stream, but they might pay him that amount of money to go to Korea and actually be a professional player with actual responsibilities. | ||

He crossed the line when he stopped producing results while still insulting the community. You can be a dick who wins Or you can be a nice guy who loses When you a dick who loses--its hard to get people's sympathy. | ||

I think leaving the Polt game was the line he crossed. It's like when Naniwa probe rushed in the Blizzard cup, which blew up and cost him a Code S seed. It doesn't only show disrespect for the opponent, but for all the viewers and fans as well. It's one thing to be BM, another to not even pretend to take the game seriously. | ||
