I was surprised to see Idra, hadn't really been keeping up on him, didn't know he played dota 2 now.

Idra seems like the exact type of person I would not want to play Dota with.

I wouldn't say its that different.

@brad That guide probably said to get a Clarity on Lich to give to your lane partner, if needed.

Idra got the boot from EG. Maybe he couldn't find a team that wanted him?

For people asking why Idra plays Dota instead of starcraft now. Sc2 is nowhere close to the moba scene when it comes to money and he probably just wanted a change of pace.

Also seeing Idra on a Giantbomb show is nothing I expected to ever happen.

Kessler is Lennon and Sony is Yoko Ono.

...Actually perhaps Kessler's more of a Ringo.

Idra is no longer a progamer. He's transitioned to being an internet personality now who streams a bunch of different games.

Brad, you're playing well but please buy tp scrolls more often. They're dirt cheap, and let you save towers that you lost because you were too far away.

Whoa, Idra... on Giant Bomb... talking Dota? Madness. Glorious madness.

Also, agreed that Idra (much as I love a lot about that beautiful Gracken) really doesn't seem like someone you'd want on your team if things went awry.

@brad You can auto-cast Armor with lich. You have enough mana on later levels for it and it helps if you forget ;)

I heard at one point Idra was going to go back to Korea with BlitzDota to play in their (very new and undeveloped) Dota scene.

Nah, his DOTA rage is much subdued. At least, has been when I've played with him a couple of times.

Also, he's surprisingly good for someone with not that many wins under their belt. All that SC2 multi-tasking/map awareness skill clearly pays off.

Yep, he did say that he finds Dota 2 a lot more fun compared to SC 2 since like he mentioned on this episode, he still considers Brood War to be a better game and he doesn't get as upset playing Dota 2.
