No offense, but this proves that theres something wrong with the game. This guy shouldn't 2-0 IdrA with his gaming history and his whole philosophy of the game. I feel incredibly bad for IdrA for choosing zerg because if he played Terran i doubt he would lose a game.

CJ Entus PROGAMER who played pro level SC BW and plays 10 hours of SC2 gets 2-0'd by pretty much by a casual who references a confederate general for his SC play......

No he has his right to rage because this is his living and his career. If you were naturally disadvantaged at what you work at for a living would you just stay good mannered? You could compare IdrA to a 5 foot bball player who is extremely skilled and Silver (and any terran for that matter) to a 7 foot bball player who is a weekend warrior. Theres no reason why he shouldn't be upset.

Wanna see more from him

I enjoyed the way he played vs IdrA,.. But it really does bring out the versatility of terran in comparison to zerg.

You mean studying a ton of sc2 games, practicing, knowing what counters what, having a strategy and adapting it, playing an opponent's weaknesses, and keeping calm and collected and not going on tilt during a match isn't the right philosophy?

Also, he's beaten HuK (P) and QXC (T), 2 other King of the Beta players. I suppose that makes T OP against T also?

To be fair, Idra chose this field of work where balance was anything but a given. He decided to dive into a new game head first. Why would the 5 foot bballer feel entitled to success? He has to work around obstacles that are obvious to anyone when choosing this field of work.

I don't feel bad for Idra. I also enjoy his anger and passion. The next time he plays silver, 5000 people will watch. Sounds like fun.

And he's still not a professional. Being a professional means acting like a professional. If you don't act like a professional, you're not one. This applies to every field in life, even fields where you can hide yourself behind a computer.

As time goes on, new talent is going to emerge. It's funny to see people upset when new players play well. Props to Silver.

I don't think it proves anything other than IdrA wasn't ready for him. IdrA probably had no background knowledge of him or his play style SC2 is still really new and no single person will know how to fend of everything.

OT: Good interview. Hope to see more from Silver in the future.
