This was a horrible quote to take for someone who needs to represent esports and support it. I liked the interview always to the point by idra but the title is a joke especially as the interview was not done by SK.

true, and they fail hard on putting the proper title on their articles, wanna be "journalists".

He came back to his life? No. He came back to the country (America) where he spent his childhood and established his life. This article doesn't directly have to do with his return to America for MLG it just so happened Fnatic published it during the event.

A horrible quote? He made one of the biggest sacrifices for eSports by leaving his life behind and starting anew in Korea to play SC: BW. This is the ultimate representation of eSports and on IdrA's end, he is supporting it immensely by being a successful foreigner in the most competitive StarCraft scene.

A 'wannabe journalist' for supporting a fellow journalist's interview of a top SC2 player? You realize it has happened thousands of times right? People posting up previews of interviews and linking back to the source (as I did three times within this article). If you were to ask the author of the interview, I bet he would thank me for promoting his piece and getting it more readers.

I don't really care if people diss interviews I do of players or dislike feature articles I write myself, but when people nit-pick about titles and stupid things that have no relevance, I just have to comment.

It's just that it can be interpreted in different ways and the first one to come to my mind definitly wasn't the one in the interview. Must be even harder for someone who doesn't know he went to Korea

Snapshot titles for interviews are often made to draw the reader in. This title/quote is intriguing, it makes people want to click on it to see what he means by 'I left my life behind.' Also, for those who read more than three sentences of the article (instead of just bashing the title of all things), it would become very clear he went to Korea.

You aren't suppose to understand an entire article based off the title, so anyone that is interpreting the title differently or is 'confused' because they didn't know he went to Korea just needs to spend 8-9 seconds reading the first few words.

My post was based on the fact that the nerd stereotype that people think of when they hear the word esports should not be persuaded with a title for people who skim the topics.

I'm in no way bashing your ability to write articles as i don't recall reading any by you. Thanks for the link to the interview but take a lesson from the writer of the interview and choose a title which is catchy and not offensive to esports.

Relax we all know the infamous idra rage but you know what?
He killed everybody at MLG so there you go :)
