My most memorable game is your game against boxer at MLG. You are the reason I chose Zerg, and you will not be forgotten.

No one had SC2 in the palm of their hand like Idra.

He was the first big thing in a blossoming industry that had an amazing future ahead of it.

Idra's story IS the story of SC2. Full of hate of self loathing, the community and its hero's killed the golden goose.

By the way, those void rays were hallucinated.

How is a couple thousand dollars + streaming income a month not a "good way to live"? I don't know how much a decent standard costs where IdrA lives, but here in Sweden if I got $3,000 a month for any job I'd be able to live with pretty good standards. I get by off like $1k-$1,5k a month.


Must be a shitty job if you get 1500 dollar a month. You know that one dollar is like 5-6kr now days. Or was it something that I read wrong?

Sad to see him leave. I loved Idra. He was my favorite sc2 player (never played broodwar). Alot of people hated him. Sure. But he was still an amazing player when he really wanted to be.

You should totally write a book about your experiences in Korea during both BW (especially BW) and early SC2 and how it was from your perspective to be a foreign progamer and making it into eSTRO, I'd so buy that :D

Good luck in whatever you pursue in your future, for what it's worth, consider me a fan for life

Kind of inevitable, it has to be hard to keep playing a game you don't love so all the more props to folks like NoNy who have stuck with it so far.

Hey ill take those couple thousand for working as a caster 9 to 9, 6 days a week, for two monts worth of work, and im not even joking.


Even if you could get that much work, which you can't, that is terrible pay compared to almost any other job in the US. Assuming 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and 9 weeks into 2 months, that's $3.08 an hour, disgustingly low.



3$ an hour as a caster? Really?

it's more like 35-40$, plus accommodation.

Your comment disgust me TB, I understand that you become a Youtube star and you are making a tone of money, but if you don't find casting to be rewarding please stop and spend those weekends to improve your Youtube channel.
I like your "WTF is" youtube show, but your starcraft 2 commentary was always mediocre since you never really understood this game.

User was warned for this post


And here we have the reason I don't post much anymore

thanks for everything. when i first started watching sc2 wol, it was you and spanishiwa who first got me into the game (and zerg). thanks for everything, glhf at school.
This pain you hold is yours. Nobody else on God’s green earth can feel this pain, or have the indescribable feeling of pride you will have when you overcome it. This pain is not your curse; this pain is your privilege.
