EG, as we know it today, was built, in no small part, on the back of Greg's renown and results during the early days of SC2. And this is how Alex Garfield chose to show his gratitude? It's a cut-throat world. Alex Garfield is a businessman. Nothing you said is incorrect, but people don't keep their jobs because they used to do a good job, and for good reason. Enough people in this world coast along as it is. There is something to be said for allowing a person to get back on track instead of firing them as soon as they show poor performance, but IdrA has had a poor showing in both competition and personality for years now. What exactly was he bringing to the team anymore? In the real world, you don't get paid a fat salary because of something you used to be able to do well. To be successful you have to keep improving and keep innovating, and IdrA clearly didn't care enough anymore. The decision makes sense, and it doesn't make people cynical for seeing that. IdrA was the de facto best foreigner in the world 2 years ago. That's a long time for most industries and it is eons for the esports industry. | ||

I have always hated how terrible he treats the SC community. Always bad mouthing lower level players and anyone who isn't pro doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as him isn't entertaining. I would never cheer for EG to win because Idra was on there team. Now maybe I can enjoy some EG matches. Idra is the worst pro gamer on the planet and needs to retire. So you posted some BM bullshit on another account and got banned. That should have been the que to stop making such silly posts | ||

It's a cut-throat world. Hear hear. Whatever IdrA's shortcomings, you don't publicly chastise someone who has been a long time partner. That only makes EG look bad. There is currently no reason why to be a fan of EG unlike, for example, Kespa teams, or Liquid, or IM. It's a collection of players who were hired when they were at their peak that brought their own fan base. Those fans will also leave when the players leave. I'll take a quick bet that the next player to get "released" for "not being EG enough" is Stephano (who just isn't playing as well as before) who will be released for saying something that is very Stephano but it's actually EGs usually MO of rotating through the most popular players. | ||

I'm surprised he wasn't booted any sooner to be honest. He was always disrespectful, but people saw this as a persona and were entertained by it rather than offended that he had not a single grain of respect for the community. This type of attitude won't get you far in life, although he seems to have been extremely lucky to get this far with it. | ||

You cannot insult an entire fanbase and by doing so give your team a reputation of intentionally encouraging bad behavior to make money all in the same post. Idra has said a lot of shit I disagree with over the years, but what he said in those posts was directly damaging to EG's reputation. I don't think they had a choice but to release him over it. | ||
