EPTI'd be fine if he could back it up with results, but after losing like that he should think about backing off a little bit.

I think Idra's problem is his lack of confidence, despite all his effort to look very sure of himself. Confident people don't need to trash other people in public. They know that they are very good and that's enough for them. I agree. I feel a little bad for idra actually...he has a couple people post blogs (including rekrul's extremely confident blog) betting that he is going to lose. He also has this big headline saying "idra predicts 3-0" when he was kind of baited into saying that for hype. Also, he is expected to win this tournament by his peers (in korea). So there was really a huge amount of pressure on him, and more importantly, a good portion of that pressure was fear of losing rather than desire to win. Nony on the other hand probably doesn't care about losing as much. He is probably more pressured by the desire to win the prize money for him and his wife. | ||

I feel bad for him too, but on the other hand you gotta learn your lesson some time when you talk so much bullshit. In this case the lesson was particularly harsh, but I hope this will change his manners. | ||

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. This is starcraft.You can lose even thought you practiced much harder than your opponents. He won many tournaments and gained good money.Also his gaming is really improved. Sometimes you see korean pros lose to foreigners too and you think they wasted their time just beacuse a lose to foreigner, i dont think so. You cant say it s a waste of time because of one loss. | ||

maybe it is not good for idra to stay there because he is not talented enough for e-sports and will end up being without a job and without anything he could have learned at the age of 30 but that is an issue of the future and idra has to decide himself if a life full of starcraft is worth it | ||

This tournament was better for having him in it. The SC:BW scene is better for having him in it. And all you fuckers out there experiencing such glee after his loss need to fuck off and go find another hobby (especially: BiffTheUnderstudy and polarwolf who are both clearly struggling with the strangeness of their own homoerotic ardor towards Idra and need to find a more positive channel for expressing it than this public bathing in the teamliquid tub of Idra-schadenfreude that we've currently go going on here and which doesn't exactly reflect well on our community). | ||

Yeah foreigners do beat pros sometimes but not in a box series. Also this was like inactive oov or nal-ra beating jaedong...something like this shouldn't happen. | ||

And there is no doubt that Idra is the No.1 Arrogant - Trash - Talker out there. And in my opinion: If you dish it out, you have to be able to take it. | ||
