    Greg "Idra" Fields Interviewed by Afreeca


    Picture Source: FighterForum.com

    Idra is working hard to get what it takes to compete in the Korean Starcraft pro scene, and show he is not like so many foreigners before him.



    Looking to prove himself, Idra has all but locked himself in the eSTRO training facility improving his skills. Even after two months of intensive training he remains focused on his goal of becoming a Pro Gamer, and even mentions he is enjoying the experience.

    Within the next 10 months Idra hopes to not only pass the Courage League, but win a spot on the roster of the ProLeague. Something his coach says normally takes a year.

    “Obviously my goals are to win in both Proleague and individual leagues. Of course, I know this will be very difficult, but in the meantime, I am in possession of very distant goals. Currently my goal is to pass the Courage League. Once I pass the courage league matches and receive my qualification as a pro gamer, my next goal is to get on the Proleague roster.”

    History has shown us the Korean Pro Scene is a very difficult place for a foreigner to survive in; but Idra sounds confident and focused on his goals despite being aware of how difficult they will be to achieve.

    Elky, Draco and Idra are all so damn skinny. I'm pretty sure either the training and chores are making them waste away or korean computers are powered by human lard and progamers are hooked up to liposuction.

    every1 knows that U.S. ppl are very self-confident, no wonder idra wants to be the best. he didnt showed himself in best light at PGL, tho, he needs to clean the floor harder to persuade his trainer to let him play more :D but who knows when dan lee is out now :(

    “Although my control may be lacking, I am confident in my ability to macro.” But Coach Lee said, “In my opinion, it is the opposite. Greg is deficient in many areas of his game, but he is especially lacking in his ability to read the game and produce units.”


    ouch.. sounds like the coach didn't have a lot of nice words for idra's skill.

    never liked him, but wish him all the best. gogo idra, become a pro and stop being a smart-ass! >.<

    sounds all wonderful buttem the future of sc1 in progaming is unsure will they make a quick switch to sc2 i hope not but its a bit strange setting all these goals to a game that got a followup in the making
