I just can't see EG being happy with idra and then he says that and instead of a punishment they straight out kick him. My assumption from what this sounds like is EG has not been happy with idra's attitude and what not so I would assume this was just a "all right your gone" sort of thing. I agree. From an outsiders perspective, it certainly feels that way to me. | ||

The amount of hate towards Greg is pathetic, really really pathetic. "He deserved it", sure, he said things that were crossing the line, done things that were deemed bad mannered.. But the community riding him for his attitude since the very beginning surely hasn't helped him either. The guy tried to work on his attitude, getting professional help and when he cursed even once after people knew about him getting professional help, most of you were like "It's not helping, still so bm" blablabla, the community kept on riding him and honestly, those who call Greg toxic, look at the community as a whole first. The community consists of hypocrites, morons.. And people are talking about making e-sports as big as any other professional sport? Gl with that, especially with the kind of community sc2 has.. When it comes to his words about the community.. can't help but agree with the lad. | ||

I will miss my favorite EG player. I do think he should retire- he has been unsatisfied for quite some time; Life is too short to spend it unhappy. (Keep streaming though!) | ||

Still, he did say fairly often how the game was garbage etc., and I can't imagine that he is stupid enough to think he wouldn't get in trouble with the team when he made those posts. he's been saying sc2 is garbage since beta I wouldn't read too much into it | ||

I have e-mailed sponsors of Evil Geniuses in the past for nothing but positive feedback, thanking them for supporting eSports. If IdrA thinks we take our time to do that just so he can insult us and not be thankful for his opportunity, good riddance. The team will be much better off without that kind of attitude anyway. | ||

Idra will bounce back and stream / cast in no time and nothing has really changed. Idra crossed a line but he's been stepping on it forever. If EG wants to lead the community in a direction of maturity - it feels like such a gigantic task that it's hard to grasp - it will be very interesting to see what happens next. But just shutting Idra out and ignoring the environment and people that have been around him all this time seems like a sham of a decision. | ||

This idea is sensationalist bull imho. Show me anyone that thought anything Idra said reflected in any way on anything that EG would say and I will show you someone who doesn't know what the word "e-sport" even means. | ||

He had a two-day TL ban so they could have given him that time to cool off. Honestly, I think this was a long time coming, and not a result of some TL-BM. I think his open contempt for the game and the community, his complete meltdown at WCS, and the tension he created in the EG house (because DeMuslim had the audacity to be a better player than him) culminated into this. And think of this — IdrA responded to a open discussion about EG in general by telling the community they're a bunch a fucks. In that thread, IdrA was — intentionally or not — representing EG's brand. And I'm certain that EG.Alex does not believe we're fucks that deserve to be treated like shit. | ||

Did it have a negative impact on Dreamhack since he didn't attend? They hit ~140k viewers. You think it'll have a negative impact on WCS Finals? Idra isn't the draw that he use to be. People need to realize this. | ||
