Good luck IdrA! I hope that you'll still join TB for some of his tournaments from time to time.

Good decision Idra. You can never go wrong with getting an education.

You have always been fun to watch, even though I have always rooted against you. But someome has to have that role also

Good luck!

Best of luck, you were one of the few players I actually cared about.
My interest has gone done with you fading into irrelevance.

Good luck with your studies and life.

Why would this be his last post?

This is actually the perfect time for him to say everything he thinks about SC2 without the fear of Blizzard or someone cracking down on him.

Better players than idra retired and nobody cared this much. I dont get it, why the big fuss?

IdrA is the man, man! He entertained us all and mostly put up awesome fights against many good players! Regarding his whole history in Starcraft, this man is a legend. At last, it's not only the skill that counts.

I think it goes back to when he was the 'Great White Hope' in Korea even though he posted no real results.

Edit: oh great, he edited his post so I sound more insane than usual.

Are you saying he held something back in fear of Blizzard/sponsors?

This is the guy that called the community, "a bunch of fucks." What could he have possibly held back...

This sounds like the right decision. Respect for that.

Please don't forget to drop by on TL to flame someone every now and then.

Dr. Greg Fields
Sounds like a new House show


Except the genius of House and the good looks and amazing talent of Hugh Laurie.

I don't care too much about this announcement, for me his career was over once EG booted him out.
Going back to school would have been the right decision then, and it's still the right decision now.

With three years of EG salary and tournament winnings, he can go to any Ivy League school he wants and live comfortably for the duration of his studies. He also has the discipline to excel in any field he's interested in, so the future will be bright and shiny for him. And a bonus for the community: we don't have to deal with his obnoxious, toxic personality any longer.

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

Vidium, you might want to say "foreign" instead of "white".

A couple thousand dollars for a weekend of talking about a game seems nice, but when it happens maybe once a month it is not a good way to live.


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.



And yet it is the reality in many, many places of the world.

Thanks for writing something. I understand you didn't like the game all that much, but you still gave us some great games, and added so much to the scene. Thank you for all the hard work you put in.

All the best with school! <3
