My theory is IdrA only wanted to finish as top foreigner/Westerner at Columbus but who knows what's going through his head aside from "**** protoss, **** terran."

Idra only wanted to finish as top foreigner? I'm sorry are you saying he didn't put in effort vs the koreans? I'm having trouble understanding what you're trying to say here.


As for him quitting ladder games I think you're spot on that he doesn't think he will learn anything from scrappy games that rely on mental fortitude, reflexes and instinct. Instead he is so focused on perfecting 'standard' play that he's sacrificing his ability to train himself in these qualities. Maybe he should realise that with a game as new as SC2 the chances of getting a standard game aren't nearly what they were in Broodwar. The game relys so much more on different types of control and just isn't figured out yet. Not to mention that I'm sure Jaedong doesn't quit whenever he makes a mistake in practice. I would bet that he plays every single game out because he understands understands what he has to gain from it.

Oh and btw who saw the interview with idra and his gf? Mannerisms of a 14 year old and sounds like she has half as many brains lol.

Idra said "he stopped training and started working out" and I feel like there was probably a bit of truth in his sarcasm lol! Maybe his first time with a girl to impress at MLG so it made his emotions get the better of him? Haha either way the GG was inexcusable from a pro
