Could someone please link some backstory to all this? What I got from SotG is that Idra did something in the last days (besides going 0-4), but couldn't get what was it...

This was the final straw pretty much. http://i.imgur.com/FgezXgU.jpg

I was thinking that they'd let Machine go before IdrA

An overreaction? To 3 consecutive years of BMing opponents on ladder AND tournaments as well as his own teammates in addition winning literally nothing.... No. This well deserved and due a long time coming.

Honestly this might be a good thing for IdrA, now he will be able to refocus his life and decide if he wants to continue being a progamer. If he does, this could be the source of motivation that he has really needed. If he doesn't, he can move on with his life.

Well EG is one of my favorite teams now, I'm sure hes a great person but the way he behaves caused this to occur and I believe this was the right course of the action.

Thank you for releasing him. He was an embarrassment, both his performance and his attitude, for over a year now. He hurt your brand and didn't even provide anything to the team (in fact, he seemed to create problems for the team social structure as a whole).

And there's also the matter that he basically threw his matches in WCS.

I know it sucks to part with someone you've worked with but for the SC2 scene as a whole, I think it's the right choice.

I was just thinking that EG might do this because of the way Idra's been acting, and especially after seeing the Reddit thread where he said EG was paying him to act like he does. But then I thought, Idra's such a huge asset that they'll probably warn him first, tell him to stop his bm behavior and if not, THEN fire him.

Did NOT expect him to be let go of so quickly after his recent bad mannerisms. Pretty shocking.
