Pretty disappointing end to it all, but at least you made a fair amount of money while you were in EG. Be sure to use it wisely, as it'll be your most important takeaway from this episode in your life.

All the best and thank you for every thing.

(Been lurking on TL since 2008 but had to show respect for a legend.)

I've never been a "fan" per se, but you certainly were a big part of SC2, and I appreciate that. You were part of the reason that this game started out hot with great potential in Esports. Sadly Blizzard does not seem to take Esport potential into consideration with how they treat the game.

I don't really play anymore either, but I am secretly hoping that the next Xpack does something spectacular. Maybe players like yourself would return. Good luck to you.

I really hope you read this IdrA,

I've been a fan since beta and I only said a few words to you when I met you in person at MLG Orlando in 2011.
Thanks for your autograph there; you signed it right in the middle of my box without asking (I was very glad you did!), so it's the best thing I have from you. Being in the crowd and cheering for you in that series versus Boxer was great.

Maybe you could stream actual Brood War every once in a while? Maybe even some StarBow?

Good luck in the future.

Good luck Idra! You know as well as anyone that you're making the right choice.

Getting a good future in a career you enjoy is significantly better than living as a pauper doing something you don't like.
It's a bit of a strange feeling having followed your career since BW and seeing it at this point years later, but it's been a hell of a ride.

Best of luck.

Really sad news, what an amazing player. Some really incredibly runs in BW and SC2, and easily one of the most interesting people in eSports. It really bugs me how unfairly Idra gets treated, and I guess I really empathize with him.

I'm going to miss watching you play an awful lot, Greg. You're incredibly talented and intelligent, and I'm sure you'll be great at anything you choose to do. I'm sorry that some people held you to different and unpredictable standards, and I know how frustrating those situations get when you're so passionate about success.

Best of luck Greg.

Wow, I'd kill for a job where I got paid thousands of dollars for a weekend once a month while I was in school. I can't even imagine how much money he was making playing for EG if that hardly seems worth it.

I need to ask, does adblock has anything to do with your decision?
Im hearing that it hits streamers harder and harder.
