Personal attacks in this thread will draw a temp ban. |

It's gonna be an epic game. The two top macro players in the world duking out against each other. It's almost too good to be true. Does this mean one of them is going to be knocked out right away?

No they could take top two between them and advance. It depends how all the games go.

Never. He just get pissed when lose games, but he'd never go further than simple BM.

Wish they would stop banning him, it doesn't do anything besides ad a duration where he doesn't post, which is sad because his posts are often 10x more humorous than most peoples.

nope. pretty sure its just in game, he wont take it any further than that, hes definitely not a bad guy at all, its just frustrating sum times when u lose to gay crap xD
but he will however, tell u the utmost truth about something/someone whether it be balance or a gamer...and usually theres a lot of evidence backing it ^_^

I wish Idra wouldn't bad-mouth the admins so he could post in that duration. 'Bad mouth' is too strong for what he's banned for. Take for instance the latest ban, he was hardly 'bad mouthing' Plexa.
I wish the TL moderators were more selective in taking action against him. Basically anything IdrA says that they dislike results in a warning or temp ban. The times I've seen he hasn't even broken any rules.

hi IdrA! as you can see by my sig im a fan! i wanted to ask something, have you ever played with Terran since release at all? (for fun or 2v2s or anything) or Protoss? just out of curiosity
Good Luck in the GSL! <3

He practiced Terran before Patch 1.1, cause if the zerg wasnt going to be fixed he was considering switching. And he did play protoss in the very early stages of beta.

I'm not going to comment on some of the reasons why Idra has been banned from TL in the past but there was no way they could have spared him this time. Basically what happened was that GosuGamers screwed up and then TL.net mods overreacted. Nazgul wasn't happy with that because he insists on TL sticking to its high standards, so he made it clear that stirring the issue any further would result in bans. Idra was no doubt aware of what he was doing, and it's not like they banned him for a long period of time as well, which would have been unwarranted. So yeah, just chill.

Umm, yes they could have. It's their decision.

Yes, we're all aware of the circumstances, thank you for repeating them. It's just unclear to me what rules he is breaking.
So yeah, just chill.
You say that as if someone's freaking out, they're not.

Question N° 16 Does your character have problems controlling his anger?
Well that narrows down most video game sports personnel considerably...

Idra was the first player I ever really followed. Amazing player and when he does lose it can be the funniest thing ever. Some people call him a poor sport about it but I love his ragequits Very entertaining in my opinion. Go Idra!

Hey IdrA, your the best man. Keep on pwning !!! <3 your realness. btw protoss really is awesome

Hi IdrA, big fan, but I have a single criticism of your play.
You leave too early while laddering. If starcraft is anything like chess, then chances are your opponent will not play perfectly. In chess, one very important skill to have is to be able to take advantage of opponent's weaknesses. If an opponent has a hung piece, take advantage. If the opponent is winning, but you think you can win by incorporating a different strategy, do it. There is absolutely no reason to leave until you are absolutely in a lost position. In chess it's very possible to tell who is ahead at any given time, but chess is a game of small advantages. It's possible to overcome a 2-3 point disadvantage simply by taking the initiative. By quitting early you are harming your chances at winning a game in a major tournament. All sports are competitive and should be played perfectly and yes you should never be satisfied until you win every game, however, almost equally important is a competitive spirit. Joe Montana wouldn't be a known person today if he gave up in a losing situation. In fact, overcoming adversity is something we strive for. If you still have a fighting shot, take it, learn from it. Learn ways to come back from a disadvantage. I know you think playing at a disadvantage is a waste of time, but if you have 1% more wins, then it is worth it. That 1 win could mean the difference between winning the GSL. If you are a true competitor I wish for you to take every win you can get and by that I don't mean incorporating bad strategies like 6pool into your play, i mean like, you've lose your 3rd expansion and protoss also has 3. That is a situation where you give up almost 100% of the time. If anything, the game you should have won with the base you didn't scout should be the perfect example. Take a risk. Risky behaviour in a losing position is significantly better than playing from behind. If you can sneak an expansion or go for an unusual tech (like burrow or fast broodlords or nydus) you can come from behind. Expect your opponent to play perfect, but also expect them to make mistakes.
