Livestream and uStream were for entertainment. Justin/twitch.tv is for trying to get rich off playing videogames.

Well he really needs to work on his attitude or he'll just fail miserably in the real world. I guess he'll rediscover his "love for the game and the scene" right around the first exam period and unretire as e-sports personality.

Lies and generalisations! I played BW and I love sc2.


I dont think this is as black and white.
I dont like SC2 in general but I do play it from time to time (thou i did not buy HoTS, i stayed at WoL).

I belive SC2 to not be as interesting and rewarding as BW, but It has some strong points with itself (Great UMS maps for example).

I talked to a few BW great players who moved to sc2 and most of them agree that SC2 is not as fun, but it does bring cash, so its what they play.

Others thou, belive SC2 to be a great game, however so far it feels like its a minority.

SC2 has seen some decline in its popularity, and it seems like Its a steady decline so far...
Since Im not a great sc2 fan, Idra leaving should have no importance to me, but somehow him beeing so bad mannered I cant help but to feel Its good that he leaves.

comparing games made early 2000's to todays games yes sc2 ain't that great of a game, but when you compare only games made late 2000's early 2010's it is great game. i enjoyed bw and still enjoy sc2 and thats my view=)

It#s some kind of sentimental thread now. Lets switch gears

Idra is not the best personality for the esports, and we know why.
We have already one villain and its Naniwa.

So its just better for everyone if it was his last post...
Never gonna miss him

I can already tell he's a great deal more intelligent than you are... perhaps he was unnecessarily rude at times but how he acted was mainly a persona, a persona which effectively made his career! At the end of the day, he really was being paid to treat people and the scene in a poor way... kinda blunt of him to say so but he was very much spot on.

IdrA, you've inspired and motivated me to play Starcraft 2 better, and you've been great for the community revolving around it. Thanks for the good times. Good luck in your future, mate! You can do anything if you can become a Starcraft pro.

The correct decision. You were by far the strongest profile in Starcraft 2 and probably the biggest reason i enjoyed and still enjoy watching Starcraft. Good luck in school!

Most Quake World/3 players don't enjoy Quake Live, but they realize that that's the only way to make money off of Quake today.

lol. No sane person would play a game they don't enjoy for the amount of money in Quake right now.

"....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"
well poor you, maybe you shouldn't have sh*t in your fans, so you'd still be considered a good gamer (I avoided the word pro or professional on purpose).

BTW I am not a hater, just wanted to remind you of some things... there are "normal" people out there. And I hope you treated the people you met on your way up, nicely (considering it's you, I doubt it, but I still hope you are the person you were as a caster, not what you showed us as a gamer), you meet them again on your way down. Not having good job offers may be a result of that.

I have to add: you did an awesome job casting, I liked your casts more than watching your games/flames and hope you return one day.
Anyways good luck in school and leading a normal life.
