IdrA[Media]: I don't know, I've never really been a fan of thinking about situations that aren't gonna happen. Seems kinda like a waste of time. Know what is a waste of time? To go to Korea, and to train to play a computer game for like 16 a day game and still be unable to win a foreign tournament. You took the wrong profession, thx, goodbye, i am laughing my ass off. | ||

Actually to be cocky, and "train" in Korea for almost 2 years, and then lose to someone who wasn't active for a while is /fail. This isn't a game of only mechanics. It is a game of strategy, so rightfully so idra falls, and yes wrong profession and lolz. | ||

Doesn't sound like wasting time to me. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Im very, very happy for NonY, but let´s face it, idrA cancelled his CC by mistake in game 2 after smashing Tyler in game 1. That messed with his head big time, he didn´t play well in the rest of the series imo. In game 5 he almost scout the proxy, missed it cause he passed by the other side of the wall. I´m not sure if he really deserved to loose, and this didn´t show that he is a bad player at all, i think he will keep a winning record against any foreigner. I still need to give HUGE props to NonY for being SUCH A BALLER IN GAME 5, i love him and always will. | ||

This obviously isn't the proudest moment of his career and there's absolutely no need to kick him when he's down. We're the most important non-korean SC community, the least we can do is support him. Him being a cocky nerd at times doesn't change that. Not that much. Daniel Lee brought him over and did pretty much all the lifting for him, he was given a hand-out pro-licensing instead of having to win courage, and doesn't seem to have spent any effort to improve his personality, let alone advance in SC. He's as big a tool as he's always been, maybe worse. We're under absolutely no obligation to ever support someone. If you want respect and support, you earn it. | ||

The amount of hatred idra brings out from butt hurt people who don't know him is awe inspiring. Seriously, it's unlikely idra has ever said a single thing to you or anybody you know; yet you're so passionate about hating him. When you have a heart attack at 36, can I have your stuff plz? | ||

Its an SC page dude. I see no mindless all-caps hate going on, just a negative opinion of an SC player, which is perfectly fine on an SC page imo. Just because Idra is a foreigner doesnt change anything imo. People can bash on failho, mumyung and tons of other pros (who have actually accomplished far more than any foreigner nowadays) but cant bash on Idra or Nony or whatever foreigner when the opportunity arrives? | ||

There is a distinct difference between bashing on somebody and their abilities and taking it to another level and being downright hateful towards the progamer on a personal level. It has resulted in numerous bans and doing so only shows misplaced passion. edit: Just yesterday somebody was flaming ret for his choice to go to Korea and his time spent playing SC. People called him for being stupid and he was banned as well. But, suddenly it's idra and people are quick to look the other way. | ||

He has obviously improved an incredible amount in SC and anyone denying that just has no clue what they're talking about. Giving him a license isn't doing the heavy lifting for him, the big difficulty lies in getting used to progaming culture and pro team practice schedules. Can you imagine practicing Starcraft day and night while not even being able to talk to anybody on your team? He's also helped loads of people out in the strategy forum with posts much more indepth and high-level about T than any other poster on this site could have provided. Hate Idra all you want, there's definitely enough material to dislike him, but telling him 'he's fail' after he's just suffered what must've been the most painful SC defeat of his life is just unnecessary. | ||

Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong since it's not something I read about recently: Idra won the competition to go and play over in Korea. Once getting there Daniel set idra up and then was basically gone. Idra wasn't given a liscene by Lee, but instead won it by winning enough games in some in-house tournament. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + That game 5 strat was pretty amazing. I do want to know if the Koreans ever prepared for a proxy gate against the gas less expand. It would have been interesting to know about Idra's preparation against that. | ||

Excuse me, but who the fuck are you to tell someone they need to improve their personality? And where exactly is IdrA asking for your respect or support? As far as I can tell, earning the respect of Craton, smug internet know-it-all, is probably pretty far down on IdrA's list of priorities, and rightfully so. I'd take IdrA over any of you self-righteous vultures any day, acting like assholes while simultaneously deriding IdrA for "bad manners". | ||

Also wondering about this. Wasn't there a thread that disproved the commonly thought "Daniel Lee gave Idra everything" idea? On Idra, ya i'm glad that he lost, but he's about as good for the scene as Nony. Many have already said this, but having someone like him talk SO much trash before/after matches and usually being able to back it up provides excitement for fans and a reason to train even harder for competitors. How much better was that match because of Idra's interview? I know I was really looking forward to it as soon as Idra predicted 3-0, because of the possibility of something like this happening. | ||
