So I was watching an old Idra match replay, and I noticed he went on MSN.
My mind went far and wide and this is the result:
(warning, 4chan stuff) edit: for some reason the image got smaller, so zoom in if you cannot see the text, lol.
 

I dislike Idra. He's one of those guys that gives competitive gaming a bad name.

" @SpikeSpiegel: You have no clue at all. "

I simultaneously enjoy Idra and hate him.  He's good, he's arrogant, he's entertaining.  So basically, it's fun to watch his escapades.

Why you guys so mean to Idra? He's a nice fellow.

" @SpikeSpiegel: You have no clue at all. "

Lol... I don't think anyone's ever said "Competitive gaming is so stupid! Look at that IdrA guy rage! Man I'd be a competitive gamer if he wasn't one."

I love Idra, probably my favorite to watch.

IdrA is awesome for exactly all the things he does.  If he didn't continue being an arrogant asshat, no one would like him.   Its the same reason why no one is a rabid NesTea fan and there are lots of rabid oGsMC fans.  The dude just acts like he's the shit all the time regardless of whether or not he is.  You can debate whether or not you think IdrA deserves to have such a high opinion of himself based on his results, but nothing you-- or probably anyone else-- says is going to change IdrA's mind.

People shit on Idra because he is arrogant and of his BM. In the scene of StarCraft all of this good manner talk like glhf are overvalued and don't hold any meaning when in the end the other guy bitches at you when he loses.

At least there will always be this video.

Idra is a damn good player. He's very good at what he does. It's not his raging either that is a pain, because that's fun to watch to. Why I'm not a fan of Idra is because is lack of respect towards other people he's playing. If your playing terran he's just going to bitch at you. A lot of times he NEVER GGs when he loses, and if he's winning some times he just pisses all over the other guy. 
 
That being said he is still a very good player and if he didn't piss all over other players, I think he would be more respected.

I guess I'm in the minority then. I've always been fans of players because of their playstyle, not how often they talk shit on teamliquid. "

The only thing I don't like about Idra is his excuses for losing is always about balance. He's the worst person to listen to talk about balance in SC2 which is strange considering how well versed and skilled he is with the game. A good example of what I'm talking about is Idra blaming his losses on "Zerg being un-winnable". Another good example? Go listen to his podcast with Artosis named "Unbalanced".  I'm sure you'll understand what I'm talking about.
 
Other than that he's fine. People exaggerate about the guy too much.

The Poor IdrA video has been posted so all is well.
 
His stream is so funny to watch.  People wonder why he BMs people but that's because everyone BMs him.  He had to play Combat-Ex 5 times in a row and all it was was IdrA fending off Combat's increasingly hilarious BM.
 
He also seems to have changed his playstyle lately, he seems much more aggressive but still with his terrifying macro.
 
Also, this:
 
  

That dude must be getting so much tail with his mad Starcraft skills.

I like Idra mostly, he is an excellent player and a really solid basis to watch games from when you're learning Zerg.  His style is extremely consistent, and you'll learn a great macro style of play to base your game around from watching him.   He is one of the very few foreign players that I enjoy really at all (Sen, Jinro, and Dimaga as well).  He just seems to be one of the only that can really hang in there with the Korean crowd, and actually seems like he belongs.  
 
His infamous 'rage' doesn't bother me either really.  While he could use a lot more tact about the way he phrases it, he is usually right at the core of it.  ZvT WAS broken for a while, though I'd say it's one of the most balanced (and fun) matchups that isn't a mirror in the game at this point.  Wish I could say the same for ZvP but well...hah.       
 
So yeah, fantastic and very consistent player that could use a bit more tact, but having a bit of personality is never a bad thing either.  Especially when you actually HAD to have no personality in progaming in Korea a while ago, Idra was probably bubbling over.

Well I'm not only a fan of Idra because of his smack talking but also his style and how he played through as Zerg even in the beginning, I'm just a fan plain and simple. Also like I said I haven't seen enough of NesTea to be a fan but what I did watch he seemed to be very good. "

" @Ben_H: ROFL! That game... I've always wondered what that was about. :D   Not really an IdrA hater, when he's on State of the Game and stuff he's actually pretty cool, but I couldn't stop laughing when Cruncher actually kicked his ass last weekend and finished it off with :) "

BM...bowel movement???

IdrA's BM makes people want to cast his games more, so he gets more coverage than Nestea.  Idra ends more games with "rofl"  than he GGs.  GOM also doesn't release replays from the GSL outside of korea, so Nestea's games don't get as much air time.  Pretty sure Nestea has played Zerg since BW because his ID was Zergbong and it would be silly to have an ID with zerg in and play something else.  Nestea is sick.  His ZvZ is pretty amazing. "

I love Cruncher's glhf at the beginning of game 2.  And the smiley at the end.  Bet Idra broke a keyboard after that.

Has Idra ever admitted that he has been outplayed by anyone ever?

Idra has personality. A little like sheldon personality, but is fun.  Starcraft is much more interesting with players like him. :)

The Idra/Cruncher game 3 was lost when Idra made drones right as cruncher pushed out.  If cruncher thinks he "crushed" him in the 3rd game, he's delusional.  Idra beat himself by over-droning.  The battle certainly looked one sided, but the game was lost by Idra not won by cruncher. "

I think Idra loses games on purpose so he can bitch about the game being imbalanced. I saw one of his games recently where he demonstrated just pitiful unit control, flying his mutas over stimmed marines, constantly ramming his army directly into a 200 supply MMM ball over and over, just basically using no strategy, and was BMing about how Terran is easy mode and the other guy sucked the whole time. He's like a little kid.

If I had money on the line I'd probably get pretty fucking pissed if I lost a game.

I have nothing against IdrA. He's just a controversial player who isn't afraid to speak his mind up.
 
Also, I came to the conclusion that whenever someone receives "IdrA rage" it actually shows how badly they've beaten him.
