$2000 a month to "work" one weekend a month casting a video game... where do I sign?

Can't believe IdrA didn't capitalize more on his time while he had the chance. I think at one point about 2 years ago people were lining up by the hundreds willing to pay $200+ per hour for coaching. I would have been coaching 18 hours a day lol... and he was like "fuck that I'm not coaching"

I don't get you'd stuck with a game you don't like for 3 years. You're lying to yourself saying that, you just realize you lost in fame and change path.
Anyway, good luck in your future, you were an icone for some people i guess.

Sure he would, he was making over a $100,000 / year... why wouldn't he ^^ A lot of us would do something we don't like if we got $100,000+ / year for it.

Doesn't matter if you like(ed) IdrA or not, he is/was one of the most successful, colorful and well known SC(2) player out there! So it is really sad to see him stop playing; even if I think it's the right decision to go to school and hopefully have something you can live your life with afterwards. (seriously: only very few players are able to earn money in the gaming business after they stop being on the top / retire)
Maybe IdrA can pull of a "Creolophus"

but will be hard!

Good-bye IdrA.... sad to see you go. You were one of the first SC2 players I ever watched, and part of the reason I got hooked. Thank you for everything! <3
All the best to you, I hope everything works out as you want it to.
Stay angry

Actually I enjoyed IdrA casting since he did it every once in a while in EGMC. So I was looking forward to see him cast me events.

Considering he doesn't like sc2 I really look forward for him to participate in tournaments like TLS.

The past few years, you entertained us like no one else and for that, I thank you. Good luck in school and I hope to see you back in the community, even if it's in a few years. I'm sure it'll be worth it to wait for you comeback... If it ever happens

I've never been a big fan, but it was fun watching you nonetheless. Nice and honest last post

Good luck, IdrA. It's always been nothing short of a pleasure being your fan. A heartwrenching, life-shortening pleasure, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
