LOL It was a lot of factors, but the straw that broke the camel's back was when he called his fans "a bunch of fucks" or something like that. Not GGing and leaving games early is sadly common for Idra now. Insulting the fanbase was too far (at least in EG's opinion.) | ||

I feel they are seriously losing a BIG part of what made them so popular in the first place. People need to grow up. So idra left when the game was even, who cares. Free win for the other guy. It creates buzz about him and in turn EG. SO he called us all a piece of shit. Meh. I have the mentality of "Oh that Idra!" and laugh it off. I would take Idra over any Korean that has literally no personality or emotion (not counting MC). Way too far to remove him from the team. Its going to come back to bite EG, Idra WAS TEAM EG. Now what is EG? I know inControl is on EG, but thats really it. I have no idea who else is on and dont really care honestly. Incontrol and Idra were interesting, now its whatever... Sad foolish decision... Most of us would disagree. As has been said dozens of times in the thread thus far: EG is far more than Idra. DeMuslim, Stephano, Huk, Incontrol all extremely popular players/personalities, and Suppy is up-and-coming. Edit: forgot Jaedong even | ||

Why should they keep someone who taunts and mocks the 'customer base'?. Why does everyone like to reduce everything into something exaggerated like the community is crying over words? | ||

And you should look up the word delusional. Those are almost 3 years ago, when SC2 had only a couple of progamers. He has not been topnotch for over 2 years now, saying he is mediocre is not farfetched. | ||

Sad foolish decision... As much as I agree with you that IdrA was a big face on EG the rest of your comments are entirely off. For starters, EG has Demuslim and Suppy who are doing well in WCS, then they've got their Korean roster as well. Finally, just because you're not actively watching the Korean scene doesn't mean that Koreans don't have personality. I don't watch the Euro scene, I don't know many people outside of Grubby, TLO and NaNiwa from there, that doesn't mean I think Euro's have no personality, I just haven't tapped into the Euro scene. Try tap into the Korean scene before you run your mouth saying they have no personality. It sickens me when people expect personality to roll out in front of you within 20 seconds. | ||

If anything, EG got rid of a guy who indeed was their front man, but who was also giving off a bad public image as a front man. | ||

Honestly, i would understand that people get offended by Greg's statements if the community was made of 13yo emotional girls, but it isn't. Idra brings so much attention to himself just by being who he is, and that's why i belive EG shot themselves in the dick. Maybe if he joins a team that actually tries to make him a better player and not a better person, he can get into shape and begin to show good games. Yea fuck EG for encouraging him to see a counselor. Shame on them for trying to lift his spirits. He obviously just needs to dive even further into the game that stresses him out. That will fix it. Community is so shameless, not wanting a healthy Greg but a Korean Greg. | ||

As he said, that is what they are paying him for. Well were. Just look at the size of this thread. I'd like to see that happen if it was anyone else. | ||

If you believe everything they say, IdrA is at heart one of the most lovable people out there who cares deeply about his fans and is really only BM/complaining because it draws viewers. I was going to make a joke about "Stockholm Syndrome" but given where this thread has gone already I don't think that would have contributed much. Honestly, though, I'd imagine that he does at some level genuinely appreciate the fans who want to see him succeed. Furthermore, I'm sure that's a large number of them, even if some people do watch just to see the bad behavior. | ||

I also enjoy helping a good and angry mob throw torches at assholes, which, again, idra and destiny sitting in a tree. edit: dude, there's a lot more I could go into here, but do you not see any difference between being interested in the narrative of an angry, childish man's success and the narrative of his fall? it's a victory for everyone but idra and his fanbase, which is by far the minority in 2013. That is basically what i said? Thanks for proven my point by admitting it yourself. That is what is wrong with this community, people like you enjoy it way to much being a part of an angry mob and throw torches. Basically you arent any better than the persons you throw torches at, acutally you are even worse because you only feel strong when there is a big mob throwing torches at a single person when you are anonymous and dont have to face consequenzes itself. Out for the drama to grab pitchforks. So what exactly is wrong with my post here when you legitimate it by your own words. Hilarous. Prime example for the community being toxic. It is not a victory for everybody but idra and his fanbase. It is just sad how righteous, bigot and hypocritical people are able to have a toxic effect in a community. Just here for the torchthrowing, wow we need more people like you, in only for torch throwing. Sad. | ||
