EPTEG shouldn't have put up with him for this long, but I imagine it must have been really hard for them, like severing a limb when it gets frostbite.

In any competitive game, the opponents are not the best of friends, and most of them talk trash on the field. eSports won't grow if were just all nerds who hold hands and sing kum-ba-yah. People watch sports for the rivalries, the upsets, the underdog, and the villains. With IdrA, you get rivalries, you get many upsets, and you get a villain. His mindset might have been toxic to his own performance, but it was not toxic for the eSports scene. Villains are great for storylines. Villains who can't back up their talk with good play are irrelevant. | ||

IdrA is the reason i bought sc2 in 2011 and the reason i continued with it and eventually learnt from his stream and got GM, also Boxer vs IdrA is still my faviroute series of all time. | ||

Well, the thought was "okay, I'll let you write my apology and I'll cut and paste it". Not much, but it was something. And they probably let Stephano look over the apology and give it his okay first. Although thinking about it more, I'm not 100% convinced that this option was given to Idra. Maybe the situations were different. Stephano, as far as I know, never pissed off his teammates or refused to practice with them. | ||

I'm sorry but if you think that the reason Idra hasn't done well was because of EG then you are completely wrong, he hasn't done well because he chooses not to, someone who doesn't care for the game can never succeed in it. He's had the wrong attitude and mindset to succeed. | ||

And then leave a WCS Premiere game from a perfectly reasonable position. Good move by EG - Idra has reaped as he has sown. | ||

EG has Stephano, Thorzain, and Jaedong who are miles better than Idra right now, and who have much better attitudes about the game. Plus EG has successful Dota 2 and LoL teams. And we get it, you're an Idra fanboy. | ||

This wasn't just the right decision, it was the only decision. Time for esports to grow up. I feel sorry for idra in the sense that I feel sorry for anyone who has their life thrown upside down in the space of a minute (I've certainly been there), but he was always asking for it. I don't think he wanted to be in esports. Now he's not. Go learn how to be a professional somewhere else. This sounds like it should be his obituary. But it fits perfectly. | ||
