Bad manners ruin sportsmanship. Don't know how you can possibly say I'm ruining anything.
[edit]
I'd just like to make the point that it is NOT a hobby for Idra. He is a pro gamer streaming to thousands of viewers. BM is unacceptable, even if it's only a practice ladder.
Look at the way he explains this loss towards the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGW6cO47IKQ&feature=player_embedded
That is how he should act every single loss.
no, the point im making is that YOU take idra so seriously. if idra wants to say whats on his mind, cool beens. but 'omg, protoss op, allins are too strong and too easy vs zerg' is not equivalent to a raging bitchfit with burning huk effigies.Neckbeard said:
they aren't really mad at each other. peopling taking everything so personally and crying for 'sportsmanship' is not conductive to growth in an evolving game.
Idra's BM vs Huk was hilarious. Idra also just said fuck you to oGs Ensnare before quitting the game. No wonder nobody likes him at the OGS house.
And even at the pro level, guys like Idra and Huk still throw "newbie" insults at each other lol, just like in the bronze leagues :lol .

let idra be idra, he doesn't mean it and everyone knows what to expect from him by now.
HuK obviously isn't being serious, but still

Well, as our dog has decided to go to the brink of death again (emptied her stomach in a matter of hours, leaking ...stuff... both ways), we did not sleep until 6 am in the morning....
My girlfriend played WoW (lol, lv85 comes soo easy now, even I will have it today), and I played like 15+ protoss matches.
Damn. It is awesome. Using Warp prism to port in zealots that grant you sight and nuking the shit out of a 1-base MMM massing terran with a few immortals, stalkers and sentries sure is FUN. Zergs seems to have learned quite well how to defend against a mindless Stargate transition, but with proper micro, even that is managable.
Gotta re-learn all hotkyes of Protoss, damn.

As far as I'm concerned Idra can do whatever the hell he wants as far as professionalism goes, his team I'm sure is aware of it and doesn't seem to be bothered too much. It's just that only judging by his online persona he comes across as a really unpleasant, misanthropic person that hates everyone except himself. I have to say however that his appearances on SotG have improved my image of him a lot, his friends and teammates poke fun at his complaining and raging, and he seems to have a decent amount of humour and self awareness about it.

Idra's a nerd raging gamer stereotype in every way.
IdrA to me is just an intelligent player who has anger issues sometimes, he gets frusturated at losses and abuses just like the rest of us, except as he has said unlike others he actually vents it instead of bottling it up. He still shows restraint in professional settings such as the GSL, even on the Ladder he still shows an amount of restraint.

As long as he doesn't BM in tournaments I don't care what he does. But he still does that in the smaller tournaments lol. Due to his actions people won't like him including myself but shrug what is it worth bitching about.Snow said:
The line between professional gamers and the"hardcore" are not that far.
Idra is my hero.

Might as well ask it here
Does anyone else have this weird and random lag spikes in every Ustream stream you watch ?
Livestream, JustinTV, own3dTV... etc, all seem to be working fine as well as my internet( I have a 20 Mbps connection). I tried a different PC with Win XP (mine is Win 7) but still the same deal. Tried uninstalling my adobe flash plug-in and using different browsers but the same lag keeps happening.
It all started around Dreamhack, that's when I noticed Day 9's stream on Ustream was lagging for me while the HD one did not even though they were the same games.

He can be whatever he wants to be. The fact of the matter is my father raised me on the mantra of "always respect your opponent"--even if, and especially when, I lose. My feelings aren't hurt one bit, and I'm sure Huk's aren't either, but that's not the point. You can't sit there and tell me that wasn't poor sportsmanship. You just can't. It's the very definition.
Snow said:
Well said, and I agree.
There are far better ways to be courteous and professional than lying about whether you thought it was a good game.Neckbeard said:
If he was refusing handshakes from his opponents or swearing at them, I'd be concerned, and maybe some of this drama over his sportsmanship would be justified.
Sportsmanship should not mean that you have to lie.
Slavik81 said:
Are you accusing me of lying? I never said anything other than he said some things about how, it's nice to cheese because your race is OP and beat someone better than you, or something to that effect. I could be wrong about the exact message, but that was the general tone. It's just not necessary. Say gg and leave. Be mad, but only be mad at yourself. If it was such a bitch move, then how did you lose to it? Doesn't that make you lesser than a bitch move. Whether it was a good game is subjective. The end result in any case is that he lost and he reacted like a toddler.
I'm not accusing you of lying.Neckbeard said:
But if this entire thing is over him not saying 'gg', it seems silly to me. Not every game can be a good one, otherwise 'good' is a meaningless adjective. To say that it was good, without believing it was, would be lying.
Something more equivalent of a handshake would be better. Allowing the player to respect and acknowledge his opponent without commenting on the game itself.
