Earlier today(3 am in the morning) i saw an interview by Artosis with Idra regarding the GSL in general. Now, most people hear Idra's name and think "LOLOLOL RAGE QUIT IDRA RAGE TROLOLOL" But after just watching this interview with him (ill put the link) i just thought through the way he speaks, his attitude and whatever that he'd be a great guy to just chill with and talk about Sc2.
Idk if its just me but i really want to know did you guys/gals always have the impression that Idra was just a cry-baby? I know i did before seeing this. I guess i'd put a poll but im 2 retarded to know how =D
I'm pretty sure IdrA is gomming back to the states because the E-sports scene in the west is set to take off. ( which I'm hugely excited about btw )
He said himself, Korea will not remain the mecca of E-sports (Starcraft/SC2) forever. And with big name Western teams like Evil Genius', ROOT gaming, Mouse Sports, etc, (Not to mention FXO/ArchaicMSI here in Aus) all putting in the effort to popularise E-sports in the west, making the shift back to America seems like a smart idea.
I kinda wish he had had a better run at the GSL, but I can't blame him for wanting to come back to the states. The next year(s) is going to be a very exciting one for the E-sports community as a whole. He just wants to be a part of that.
Im sure most of you have been following the TL threads about INcontrol's big secret???
NASL anyone? (North American Starcraft League)

He's grown up a lot from his early days, I believe that Artosis (or maybe Tasteless) pulled him aside and told him to calm down if he wanted to keep his sponsors.
I don't like watching him in particularly because I know that hatch is always going to go down first. Respect him as a player though, no doubt one of the best foreigners for both SC1 & 2.
