Then no matter how you look at it, he IS paid to bad mouth people. Its how he's been recognised, its how he brought EG to be noticed, and its what we expect of him. in all sincerity i hope to see Greg stay in the sc2 scene as a Pro Gamer, and i hope he destroys everyone in EG he faces. There are only about 2 people in EG worth keeping. Geoff and Bryce suck (result wise). Great you followed EG only because of IdrA. Other people, more levelheaded and interested in someone's skill and results than how BM they are followed Eg because they had actual good players who were actually competitive. IdrA, in the pro scene, is not good nor is he competitive anymore. He couldn't get top 16 GM for SHOUTcraft in NA. Long way from someone who was a top foreigner in 2011. He doesn't produce results and he hasn't accomplished anything besides giving the proverbial finger to the entire community in at least six months. Goodbye IdrA. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. | ||

His dedication has inspired many people. I agree, idra sacrificed a lot for foreigners being able to go to korea. i dont think people who are new to sc2 know this. | ||

Doesn't change the fact he was the most relevant foreigner for some time.He was just as annoyingly whiny in BW, and people were just as split about him back then as they were now. Maybe even more, considering he was one of few foreign faces ever in the Korean scene. | ||

We crowd in IdrA's channel and shout obscenities. I don't see a problem with IdrA calling us out on it because if we did not see it, we would be blind. That's exactly Idra's mistake that cost him his job. Not such a smart move to generalize and assume that "all" people are the same, is it? Kind of like stereotyping don't you think? We aren't all "fucks" that spam stream-chats. Most of us don't even use stream-chats. Most of the community are not trolls. Most of the community is actually a mature, genuinely interested audience. Teams like EG don't want to alienate their customers. It's like owning a bakery and telling customers that walk in "you are a fat fuck, can't believe you eat my pastries HAHA" . . . | ||

The way they mistake "passion" for "evil" is demonstrative of their age. And while I expect that from the mob, I don't expect that from the professionals leading EG. It's like the community is a bunch of retards or something. If only we could pay someone to inform them of this. So you specially made a account on a community forum to give your opinion about the community.... yeah you show how smart you are. Do we really need to take you guys seriously? | ||

Greg just can't keep up with the meta-game, he complains all the time. If there's zergs able to be successful, then anything Greg says are just excuses for his own lack of skills. Yes Idra should of realized that his act will get old eventually if he doesn't post results. You cannot continue to think you are so great, when your posting bad results. Look at Incontrol, his own funny comments about his own skill is PR + | ||

"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.. I think if he was just BM people wouldn't mind too much! I think it was his attitude towards the game in general i.e. how he just gave up that was off putting. Who can forget the quits vs hallucinated voids, after MMA destroyed his CC in MLG and many other instances. His current fanbase I think are composed of those that put up with and encouraged this self destructive behavior. Add to this his declining performances, I can see why they took this decision. Another thing this does is give all other EG poor performers a kick in their butts. It looked so far like once someone joins EG they don't have to do anything else. This was reflected in declining performances of once top players. So this would probably give a message to others that they need to get their act together. | ||

And I guess that does make him a pretty popular character, but not necessarily in the way players like MC are popular. If only Idra would have traded his BM for singing.... | ||

Whether you are a "fan" of Idra (more like spectators at a freak show) or not . . . you are not a special snowflake. Idra hates your guts just as much as he hates everyone else. This was him just confirming it in public and EG being forced to release him. His viewership has been dropping significantly lately due to people finally understanding this. Huh? Why do I care if Greg Fields hates my guts? He's paid to entertain me, and that he does. Continue... | ||

Thrash talking is all good and fine, but BM that IdrA spews does nothing but hurt the scene and generate these retarded IdrA fanboys who imitate him and his manners. I'm really proud of Evil Genius, the amount of revenue IdrA generates for them is huge. But they still did it, still fired him. And it's not like he wasn't warned. | ||

So all heel wrestlers in the WWE should be fired because they are rude to their fans? | ||
