Another problem I have with IdrA is that no matter how the hell he loses it is always cheese. For example, when Lz played him in the final of some tournament, lz fast expanded, and went for an semi-early marine/scv push. Sure, he pulled about 6 scvs to make a push, but how in the world is that a cheese... it is AFTER he has already expanded. Whether it is IdrA being IdrA or not, he needs to get over himself at some point in time, and it would be nice if he did it before sc2 was released. | ||

The best we have seen him so far is in the Smuft tourney. In almost every other tournament we have seen him in, he hasn't even made it to the finals often.

IdrA, just think for a moment what you are saying. You heard it here first folks, IdrA admitted he sucks. I can go down the list of Tournaments where IdrA was eliminated fairly quickly, and then the ones where he didn't even make it to the Finals of US Tournaments. IdrA you make Scrooge look like a saint. | ||

The simple reason why the asians dominated SC besides how the scene grew and was immersed by a country was a result of Player base size. If there was 400 americans 500 europeans and 800 asians all playing sc2. Ideally the asian group is going to be better because they will be playing in there group of 800 people Where strats will be evolving at a faster pace as well as the amount of mass players and the odd balls like ( jaedong ), Flash ect. It is absolutely rediculous to say that those odd balls and mass players dont exist in the American/Euro scene.. Keep that in mind. Asians only seem better because they have a LARGER player POOL. infact if americans had the same player pool im sure they would do much better.. i mean if you believe in stereotypes. Americans focused on having fun... Work hard asians.....(school) | ||

Having fun is more important then worth ethic. Without the passion there is no fuel for the fire. And there is mass gamers in each. But there more common in asia cause of the player pool. More players playing Around them as well.. Its linked with there enviorment. which is probably fueling the competition more for them... just speculation tho. | ||

working smarter and efficiently, getting the most for the time you put in is the most important factor, smart players simply learn more from each game they play. If you play 100 games, versus 100 games where you analyze, improve, and self critique you will notice a huge difference. Replays themselves are a huge key to getting better, not just mass gaming. | ||

If you play 100 games, versus 100 games where you analyze, improve, and self critique you will notice a huge difference ofc. and thats what the better players do.. And just about everyone is capable of it...But as any pro in the history of SC would tell you. without passion you wont improve... Look at nada...savior..don't tell me these players arn't capable anymore. They could come back and just be as strong as flash or jaedong if they had the passion they once had in my honest opinion. and people shouldnt belittle idras play. Ideally he will be the best player a month or so down the road when he understands how things work better. Just like everyone is trying to do. When he gets that understanding hes going to beable to adapt to just about anything. and thats when alot of people are going to have to format there builds alot more rather then relying on shock tactics | ||

We will not be banning him from the tournament. There is no need to do that as this was an invitational event where the prize pool was brought to you by the hospitality of our donators and the work of volunteers. Idra's blatant lack of respect and pathetic behavior will simply prevent him from being invited to all future events. | ||
