[TSL] IdrA predicts 3-0 - Page 11

IdrA[Media]:
Only emo or falsely modest Europeans predict that theyre going to lose games. Confidence is everything in any kind of competition. If you don't absolutely expect to win, you don't really have much of a chance. So yes of course he says that, but it doesn't mean anything.

1) Europeans are far too touchy. Life is much more enjoyable if you relax a bit.

It takes a certain kind of personality to act arrogant in public. Could Mondragon do it? Sure. WOULD HE? I don't think so. Knowing that you will be judged - for reals and under no anonymity - makes it a lot harder to roleplay, and for most people it probably doesn't feel right. For Idra, though, it clearly is worth it for the lulz. Half-serious is probably how I'd describe his interviews.

[...] as for the emo ones like infernal and ret i think it is actually a real problem and they would have much more success if they were more confident.

I think there are many players, who has more talent then him, just don't have the opportunity to practice all the time. And he Last edit: 2010-02-11 19:25:56
has a big mouth because he was lucky.

If you weren't a Romanian(no pun intended this time), you would probably find it a good lighthearted humor too, but it's easy to start believing people are shitting on Romania if the country is a part of who you are
The sooner you realize it's all inocent humor, the more fun it'll be for you too.

Neither is Idra.

Imo, Idra just needs to blow some steam off and get laid. Artosis, could you set him up with a Korean tranny or something and make a movie of it? Something like him getting a blowjob while he is going proxy fact? That would be awesome.

And do europeans ever watch WWE wrestling? They could learn something about how real athletes talk.

Don't worry Idra, the white man's always been trying to silence the brothers. You do a credit to BHM, where we honor your predecessors. People who refused "to be a model for the Growing American Boy, that his public relation be immaculate", like Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali is a folk hero, one of the first truly black men to challenge America in black terms. He was not the humble Negro champion like Joe Louis, the good champion who knew his place, “a credit to his race,” whom whites could tolerate. He is neither humble nor socially amoral. He is a complex, brilliant young man, who rewrote the scenario on his terms.

And, of course, white America reacted. After he became champion in 1964, the World’s Boxing Association, largely an honorary agency with little power, stripped him of his title because of his adoption of the Black Muslim faith. And when he refused to be drafted into the Army in 1967, opposing the war in Vietnam, every state boxing commission took away his title and his right to box because his act was “detrimental to boxing.”

Ring magazine, more definitive in its “professional” judgments than any boxing commission, refused to award Ali its 1970 Fighter of the Year award (giving it to Frazier) because they felt that “. . . the winner should be a model for the Growing American Boy, that his public relation be immaculate. . . . Cassius Clay would have been the ideal example of a professional fighter if he had not refused to sing out ‘God Bless America’.”

Joe Frazier viciously pounded a no longer fleetfooted boxer in thirteen of fifteen rounds, and most of the ringside celebrities applauded the “comeuppance.” “He deserved it,” said one international film star. There were few sympathizers near the ring. Ringsiders seemed satisfied.

Idra, you are a complex, brilliant young man, neither humble nor socially amoral. Know that if you win, the Man will snub you for not being an immaculate winner. If you lose, they will applaud your comeuppance. But those of us who can see past the color of your skin and applaud you for embracing your culture will always remember you as a champion.
