Wow surprised they got rid of him honestly. Unless he said something way out there.

He def was a draw/ topic of conversation for the community.

And if nani can get a new team so can Idra.

Nani's team is EG with another name.

I used to hate incontrol but he's an awesome personality these days. He had to snap react to it and did fine.

Idra being fired was I guess not avoidable in the long run. It's not good to try and create a famous brand when your most famous player is constantly trashing pretty much everyone and is constantly showing ****ty behaviour...

this is hilarious. i wonder of all of the other EG guys who have nothing to offer in terms of skill are ****ting themselves. incontrol, machine, huk, etc.

fyi, here's the link to the state of the game where incontrol gets the news around 5 mins into the broadcast:

incontrol is probably one of the safest on team. he's the captain and face of the squad.

machine? i have no idea how he's made it this long.

They didn't even get rid of LZGamer, he just left the team, right?

sad day really. i still remember staying up all night to watch GSL season 1 and rooting for him, TLO, and fruitdealer specifically. was getting harder and harder to be a fan of his with all the crap he pulled and this was a long time coming but i'm still a little sad that he couldn't get his **** together.

Machine is Incontrol's workout buddy. That's why he's survived this long lol. Axslav and Strifecro got cut way back when, probably for being bad. Axslav was handicapping himself, though. He has like 90 APM and apparently plays/played on a 4:3 CRT monitor lol.

That's the point I was trying to make. He's certainly among the "top" in terms of profit and he's lucky that he didn't have to do much to get it.

Also lolmachine. Forgot he was even there. Maybe he's in charge of updating the EG.SC2 facebook/twitter stuff or something.

While he's right, I feel like his word choice would be a lot different if he actually won something.

Sure enough eventually a bunch of ravens pop out of his base. They did not do well vs fungals + hydras.

The real ketroc build involves an Ebay block at your natural to prevent any solid macroing on the zergs part.

WOW that was so ridiculously terrible

Letting the 3 spines in the natural instead of moving them to the third like srsly wtf.
