EDIT2!!!: WOW so after some more research (and some helpful comments!) I have found that this was fake, Idra is alive and well and this was all just a massive troll from GomTV. Thank goodness! :D

" @Sweep said:Someone making a video saying Idra is dead =/= Idra being dead. An article from Gom.tv however, should be sufficient to prove that he is still alive." Idra is not dead, he is moving back to the US from Korea so he will not be competing in the GSL any more. "How can you say that, Idra died look at the video and show some respect. "
Game over?
" @Jeffsekai: I got goosepimples and misty-eyed when I saw that on the GSL. The thing I'll miss most is Tastosis and their cavalcade of "Grack" jokes. "I know, I hope Greg knows they were all in good faith. may he rest in peace.

Yes. As stated in the video:" @Jeffsekai: According to all the above posters he's not dead, just left the league he was in? "
"Continuing his high reputation in the GSL,
we hope he exceeds his success here at the GSL."
Edit: The video was made by GOM, the sponsors of the league that idra was in. It was made as a good bye and good luck to idra.
The person who uploaded the video was just trolling by calling it "Idra dead"
" @GlenTennis: In all fairness, having read who was posting this thread before opening it, I certainly did not feel disappointed. "
Jeffsekai: Trolling and being a tool since always.
That said the video was made by GOM for IdrA so that is pretty nice of them. Also there was a hilarious interview with TSL_Clide after he won his group stage where they asked him about IdrA ad Clide said he hoped that he wasn't the reason for IdrA returning to the US. LOL. If anything should be clear it is that Idra never cared what anyone in Korea thought of him.
updated OP!" Okay Jeff, I think this joke has run its course. "
SO sorry about the confusion here guys I legit thought he was dead :( Very happy to hear he is alive and well. I have removed the video to prevent any further confusion.
I suppose this can be locked now! :)
