Some people make less than 2k a month working 40+ hours a week and would be more than happy to give all that up to do some thing they love.

He's white. USA and EU are predominately white. We all had such high hopes for all our white players.

Good luck! You were one of the best casters. I hope that one day you will cast some big tournament again.
Well, for me it is end of an era. Idra was very important for community. Very unique.

Well he just said that it's not really something he loves. If someone with passion wants to make money streaming, theoretically he would be making room for them.
also, @ the guy wondering why there was so much fuss. IdrA has been a pretty big name in foreign starcraft and starcraft 2 for a long time. The fact that he has > 10k posts on TL should indicate why him leaving is a big deal.

Truthfully, I only got into starcraft because of IdrA. Three years ago one of my friends told me him. I then watched my first pro game, and from there I have probably watched starcraft daily, constantly rooting for IdrA regardless of his (hilarious) actions. So sad that everything fell apart, I still feel that the game needs people with character, people with attitude as well as skill, and IdrA was a perfect example. A complete dick, but one that could still pose a challenge. Hoping for the best glhf

GG and GL Greg, you will be missed

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted.. But it's still difficult for somebody to understand why he'd want to do something different. Can't grasp how you can't love this game, even then to be involved with Esports alone.
I didn't see his viewership being that low of numbers combined with the occasional casting gig, I'd be happy financially. But he is pretty well educated and most likely will be successful either way.

When I first started playing Starcraft II in 2011, I had settled on my race to be zerg.
Watching the VoDs available for SC2:WoL at that IPL you had won... It left me inspired. Knowing your story let me know that a foreigner can kick ass. You and stephano will always leave everlasting impressions on me, Greg Fields.
I will miss you.

Good lukc in the future IdrA, hopefully you don't vanish completely and pop up once a while.
|
Good luck. You will be missed.

Because Idra was absolutely legendary in bw and sc2. sc2 he was only a monster in 2010/2011, but in 2010 if he didn't win the tournament he entered, it was considered a fluke for him. He's also been an icon for the scene for many years.

He's also been an icon for the scene for many years. plus all the tasty hate he generated. All those viewers who tuned in to watch his rage and tears and were so often rewarded. He really was the greatest heel, truly like an American Wrestling performer at his best.

This is sad :`( I wish you all the best for your future endeavours ! We'll miss you. We hope to see you again sometimes.
|
It's always sad to see your favorite player go. IdrA was the very first pro player that I started following, and ever since I've always rooted for him. Even after I switched races to terran and the match was IdrA vs one of my favorite terran players. IdrA contributed a great deal to what made me first love starcraft. I hope you achieve nothing but happiness and good things IdrA, the best of luck with your endeavours!

Dr. Greg Fields Sounds like a new House show
|
A very mellow dramatic farewell to his fans and the community...maybe it was for the best =/.

I think streaming should not be taken as as viable source of income, at least not as your only/main one. It was designed mainly for entertainment.
