2 years ago this shit wouldve sold like crazy.

I just hope he can still stay around and make a living out of it. Thing is, I wish he stopped shitting on the game as it is what made him. No SC2 = IdrA what?

on the other hand, he seems to be very intelligent and passionate. Never too late to get back to school I guess.

He could easily return to school. Would take a semester to get back into the swing of things (I've talked to folks who return for graduate school after years in industry and they confirm it's a difficult switch), but not at all impossible given his work ethic.

So long as StarCraft provides him with enough to live off of, like private lessons, commentating, or designing products for TteSPORTS, he'll be present in the community. His knowledge, experience, candor, and the simple fact that English is his native language (I mean, most Koreans have to use a translator, which limits their opportunities as a public personality) all mean he's extremely valuable to the community worldwide. He ain't goin' nowhere, lol.

TTeSports isn't quite a team (at least outside of Taiwan).

So Idra thinks Razer, Steelseries and now Themeraltake all make exceptional products? Is he a huge peripheral fan or what?

Maybe they do all make exceptional products!

meh, hope this doesnt help him too cast big events, he shits on the game and insults anyone and everyone he plays against (even fans) why should he get too cast when he hates sc and just complains non stop about it and there are so many other casters that enjoy the game much more and have equal game knowledge as him

If you want to live in candyland where everything is perfect and noone mentions people's mistakes or faults, go ahead. I think many people appreciate Idra's commentary because of the low/no-fluff casting with good technical info, as well as the fact that he's realistic and provides true criticism rather than compliments-only.

That said, I'm not someone who follows or watches Idra much, but as far as I understand your generalizations of him are exactly that, and also seem quite biased and ignorant. He maybe shines some players in a somewhat negative light (perhaps for good reason though), but it's certainly not all players he's played, and when casting I've heard him make many compliments and positive statements about all sorts of things.
