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).
This is the greatest post I will read this week.
Idra, it was fun watching you play this TSL. Looking forward to more tournaments!

What does someone's personality matter regarding an 'online' game? It doesn't matter when you're dealing with the top gamers. They still produce results. My coach always said, it's not bragging if you can do it. Idra has the ability to do it, so technically, he can say what he wants. If he doesn't do it, big deal. Idra lost to 1 of the 2 people who had any chance to beat him... big deal... Hats off to NonY for the vital win. He was my pick and is my favorite American player.
I love watching all the germans rooting for each other in the TSL and happy when they advanced in the groups. We look at the American fanbase.. yea  Had 2 American's in Korea.. Only rooting for one to succeed, hoping the other fails... Foreign SC needs IdrA. Face it, NonY is gone, Assem gone, Rekrul gone, all top Americans are pretty much gone except G5? I'm speaking in terms of people who will actually move SC for Americans, or put us on the map in terms of foreign SC.
Great run, good luck in future events. :-)

This TSL was great! I once again would like to thank TL for hosting a well organized and exciting tourny

I love all these people bashing Idra. So what if he didn't win the TSL? He has many victories in other foreign tournaments. He played his part as the big villain very well, and he was overconfident. But who wouldn't be overconfident? We all know Nony is an excellent player. He just prepared way better than Idra did (plus game 2 happening). I wholeheartedly agree with tinmans' posts lol

does idra get paid as a pro gamer? i remember reading somewhere that B teamers are basically slaves because they have to play 8+ hours a day only to hope for a chance on the A team
Yeah I'm very curious about this too.

how is it like an inactive Nal_ra beating Jaedong? That's one of the worst analogies Ive ever heard.

They're "bashing" him because he basically guaranteed a dominant victory and lost. The criticism has absolutely nothing to with the mere fact that he lost, it's what he said in the interview. If IdrA was humble or even just moderately proper in the way he acted then no one would have anything negative to say. I actually like competitors in sports who are confident and not timid. There's nothing wrong with talking big, but you have to be able to follow through. I'm sorry but you can't have it both ways. If you're going to engage in such talk then you are bound to face harsh mockery when you lose.
That's his problem; he talks like he's Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and plays like a journeyman.

Pretty much sums it up, he had it comming

The overconfidence everyone objects to Idra isn't really 'alot of confidence' coz if it was honest confidence, it would be likable. Overconfidence here really has a meaning of forced(fake) confident persona that Idra believes he should sport for some reason.

tinman you are as obnoxious as the anti-fans.
You don't have to respond to every stupid remark. Quit it. You said your spiel, now move on.

I'm trying to make up for all the people like you. It's a damn full-time job, and I appreciate your performance review.

There needs to be a follow up re-interview.

hey guys did you hear?!? Nony beat idra in the tsl! what are your thoughts on this?
|
his 3-0 was gone by game 2... so even if idra had won 3-1, he'd still be wrong.

idra did make some money in the past so all the practice in korea was worth it at least a little bit...
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 Let me guess. You're a high school guidance counselor?
do you disagree with what i said ?
then stop making the worst argument ever and make a real point

To be honest, it's satisfying to see that there is justice in the world, after how cocky Idra came through.
Then again, he's known for that and he plays a character well. He probably had his own private thoughts about how this tournament would go through that were much less arrogant than what he said on paper.
I still think Idra is a great player and interesting internet personality though. + Show Spoiler +I wonder what he would do if he lost all his Starcraft skill in a single day though. (And watch, he sucks at SC2)

funnily enough, he lost against nony not because he was overconfident, but because he wasnt confident enough.
