When such a defining character leaves Starcraft it is always sad. A part of the soul leaves us.

Best of luck, and thanks for the games!

Look at it like this. He was a world class and world famous gamer..... which is amazing for a 25 year old.

Now he can step back and figure out how to be a great 35 year old.

eSports is for the young, the new. Idra should always be remembered as a trailblazer and one of the first people to really make a career of it.

He went for it almost before anyone else.

I think going back to school to schmuck it up with everyone else is a bad idea. I think you have enough name recognition and pull in gaming to start working on your career now. You have a starting point, entrepreneurial speaking, that most people dream about. You have unlimited connections to esports, gaming companies etc. that I'd be shocked if you couldn't find gainful employment in this industry. You should definitely quit the streaming personality gig though if it doesn't make you happy. School might be the path you need but I doubt you'll get what you want out of it in the end. You have all the tools you need to start your actual career now I would bet.


What sort of ego does it take to think that you know Idra better than Idra? What exactly do you think he's been doing these past months, twiddling his thumbs as his stream numbers drop? My bet is on him doing his best to make this career path work only for it to ultimately prove untenable.

Besides, based on his previous school experience, I hardly think he's going into an area of study in which schmucking it up is the soup du jour.

You should try flipping burgers, might give another perspective on how much "a couple thousand dollars" per month are worth

Why would I try living in an area where I can't afford to pay the rent?

I always love your stream, and your personality in e-sports. Unless a ton of progamer, you were honnest, sometimes BM, sometimes not. And you were able to play with it. So... Thx for those years, and good luck for the future.

I only started following the game at the start of 2012 but you were still most popular foreign player (and streamer) at that time, and one of the best. It does feel like the end of an era, but that was really when you left EG.

Good luck with whatever you do in the future.

You have to appreciate Idra! Honest, brief, no fucking fluff. I think a good majority of humans live their whole lives without being able to deal with their own, unique, emotional traps. It something you should sort out young and it is most likely impossible to do when their are so many eyes watching you. He is obviously brilliant and will most likely do something much more valuable for the world one day than being the master of one of the infinite games, not just video games, of life.
