Kind of sad, Idra probably has legitimate mental problems. Someone mentioned that no other foreigner survived in a Korean BW gaming house for more than 6 months and Idra been there for 2-3 years, with no one that speaks English.

This is one of the two threads here that is actually not about him. Can we keep it this way please?

His english is pretty damn good, he topped his wcs group and the fact that he's an overall charismatic and skilled guy, this question have been on my mind as well. Someone should pick him up.

To be honest after topping his group Dimaga value rose. He now can carefully pick the team. He shouldnt rush it.

Dimaga + Idra get together to start a team, think about it. Maybe they even start the pro SC2 2s league :D

There'd be so much drama.. and then they could have WhiteRa and Grubby come visit (nothing serious just to cause tons of news articles)

Yeah I heard EG is short a zerg... Unfortunately. I'm still kind of reeling over that whole thing, but yeah EG could pick him up and send him to Korea for Proleague maybe.

He is married, he won't go to korea for proleague..

edit : He said that he was not willing to go in korea in an interview (he only said he would be ok to go for a tournament, go, play, go back)

So true

Dima's marriage probably dictate a lot of his choice of teams and what teams can pick him up

Didn't he say in his interview on WCS EU that he was already in talks with a new team and that it'll be finalized soon?

LOL.

4-0'd his WCS group and got some pretty good results in online cups? Clearly too old to compete. ;p


Nestea was doing better than dimaga at a much older age. 3 years later he's not producing much result. He had to escape to AM* for an invitation to play in WCS because he knew he wouldn't be able to compete in korea. Most of these older players will most likely have the same fate. Hence "getting too old".

Stupid comments like this cracks me up everytime.
I suppose you wouldn't denied that F1 racing is much more demanding physically than SC2, in department of endurance, as well as reflexes. You need godly skill when racing through Monaco, or any other technical circuit, and yet drivers way past 30 can race successfully, more yet, they can even win championships (look at Schumacher).

So no, SC2 is not unwinnable for older players, only motivation, skill and training regime are deciding factor.


Most people trained for racing at a very young age to become a top racer. SC2 is a game that will last at most 10 years. It doesn't provide nearly the same financial support as F1 racing nor the reputation you get out of it. When was the last time you saw MVP on a magazine dedicated to SC2? Please don't compare SC2 to F1 racing.

People at dimaga's age will eventually consider their future in the esports scene and assess the risk whether it is worth to stay in the scene or not. And as you starting doubting esports, your skill level will decrease and that gradually grows with age.

I think travel is difficult.

He once said that he doesn't go to many LANs because of travel. He lives somewhere relatively remote in ukraine so it basically takes a full day to get to Kiev, and then from there it's always multiple flights to get anywhere, even if it's just in europe, and this is why you almost never see him outside of europe.

If it's difficult to get him to attend events, that could be a factor in his negotiations.

He said on his stream about a week ago (roughly): he has a manager of sorts that is looking for a deal with a team, but it's not easy and taking a lot of time. Currently they are in negotiation with a team though (not disclosed), making progress. He does get offers. He didn't explain why it would take long.


Because if your offer is agreed upon with no resistance, then you're probably underselling yourself. 4 Months for a long term contract isn't long at all, especially when money is involved.

they may be better (may, not sure about this), but u gain nothing out of them. If Shuttle shows up for WCS EU nobody cares, if Dimaga shows up, the crowd goes crazy.

Thats the reason why IdrA was/is one of the most earning players: he has a huge fanbase.

This is the true pitfall of SC2 - fanbase cares about white people from their country winning more than highest possible level of competition.

for me its like 2 different things

I like GSL cause its awesome play, but I also like the WCS EU Qualifiers, watching Bischu, Tefel etc is also kinda nice.
