Dream of becoming a eSports Player.

Not news today but this time a personal post!

I had a dream that i met EG Thorzain and he obs the game that would be one of three that would help determine if i would be joining Team EG.
In the dream the person from EG was a female that took care of all potential recruits. At the time in the dream IdrA and Stephano had already left EG but she informed me that EG wasn't looking for any members at that very moment but if I passed all the pre-recruiting exams that all the pre-interview potential data would be saved and i would be contacted later the moment a spot opened.

So after the first game, I ended up meating Temp0 and EG Machine & EG Suppy. Temp0 was there to take his test as well but it be a game vs me. This test had the same restraints as the first one, had to beat each other under 8mins but the map always starts you off as if you were already mid game, re-taking a base and maybe have one t3 and t2 units out on the map. This game i was zerg and Temp0 got stuck as Toss. The first game i was Terran.

This test was to see how well we did as a offrace. Temp0 massed zealots and i had made lings and temp0 ended up taking the win in that game.

Me and temp0 come to find out later the game was meant to be played with our main races and that the last game would be off race.

So me and temp end up having to wait around. As we're waiting Suppy and Machine are all hyped up and sure that both of us would get to join EG and that they were looking forward to training with us in the future.

I get called out first that evening to meet with the CEO of EG. He was in a limo as his office. He was busy and had things to get to right away after leaving the offices of EG that are located at the team house The Lair. The first question he asked me was why i would want to join EG and whatever answer i gave him was good and i got to join EG and that i would be coving their "Blue Team" in MLG.

What a crazy dream is that? then i woke up after that last part. I had to blog about it cause it was such a strange dream.

EGIdrA has been released 

EGIdrA has been released

Today EG (Evil Geniuses) has release  Greg "IdrA" Fields. Their star marketing player because of the disrespect towards the community. A choice not easily made by Alexander Garfield, CEO of Evil Geniuses.according to his Press Release today on Team Liquid website.

It is said that for three years IdrA is known for his "choice of words" and how he treats his fellow players and even Alex says so him self.

As most of you are already aware, we let our players be themselves. We believe that our industry's diverse assortment of vibrant personalities plays a huge part in helping make eSports so much fun - for ourselves, and for the viewers. No great novel is without great characters, and we like to let our players find their own roles within the eSports storyline by showcasing the personalities they were born with. We have strict guidelines that regulate certain kinds of more extreme speech, and we take disciplinary action when those guidelines are violated, but for the most part, we stay out of the way. 

This is why it was never really an issue for us that Greg can be rude to his opponents in games, or that he usually speaks his mind very bluntly and directly. But, to us, there's a very big difference between a player being disrespectful to an opponent in a ladder match, and a player being disrespectful to the entire community of people who, via their own enthusiasm and passion for the entertainment product he creates, actually make his profession possible.

Could this be the real reason?



IdrA states a opinion on TL forums, more or less to me is part of his online persona. For example like Shock Jock Radio Host Howard Stern is known for his persona.

IdrA is right in the sense he was being paid for the past three years to carry out his persona but EG hides behind the fact they don't get in their players way.

We have built our company as a players-first organization. This is reflected in a number of already well-known benefits that our players receive, such as the attentiveness of our management, the quality of our on-site facilities, and excellent financial support. And while these are all vital parts of taking a players-first approach, we believe that one of the most important ways to support professional gamers is to stay out of their way. 

However if EG does have a strict policy as stated from the press release

The eSports industry, and companies like Evil Geniuses, would not be possible without the passion and support of our community. We, as a company, cannot and will not be supportive of anyone who does not show due respect and appreciation for the community that makes everything we do possible.

Then IdrA was aware of his choices of words and where they would lead him and it had to be obviously clear EG would have to make such a choice.

In this writers opinion: I firmly believe IdrA will be back. Having reached a fame for him self will not stop him from supporting him self and making a come back and perhaps go independent for sponsors only care about the views you can get and how much of a big plug you can give, not the performance you play at. Winning is only a small part of the whole picture. If IdrA can shake this off, he could make a joke out of the whole thing and make more than what any team could ever pay him.

2 yo girl shot dead by 5 yo brother.

Caroline Starks, 2, was fatally hit in the chest by her sibling’s .22 calibre rifle only moments after their mother stepped outside their home in Burkesville, Kentucky, yesterday.

Today the children’s grandmother Linda Riddle said: “It was just a tragic accident.

“I just know she is in heaven right now and I know she is in the good hands of the Lord.”

The boy, who has not been named, had been given the Crickett gun, branded “My First Rifle” as a gift.

The maker’s website features three different .22-calibre rifle models for children, with shoulder stock colours ranging from pink to red, white and blue swirls.

Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said the gun was kept in a corner and the family didn’t realise a shell was left inside it.

“It’s just one of those crazy accidents,” White said.

The shooting comes as President Obama continues to press for stricter gun controls in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre that left 20 pupils and six teachers dead in December.

Man wearing ‘jail sucks’ T-shirt arrested and sent to jail

Don Castner, wearing his "jail sucks!" T-shirt (Manatee sheriff's office)

Don Castner was already in danger of arousing the suspicions of the fashion police. But the 39-year-old Floridian got a taste of delicious irony when he was arrested Wednesday by the actual police while wearing a T-shirt that read, “jail sucks!”

The Smoking Gun reports that Castner was arrested on charges of welfare fraud as part of a Manatee County sheriff's office undercover sting entitled Operation Meal Ticket.

Manatee deputies arrested 40 other people Wednesday and have warrants out for dozens more in the undercover sting operation.

Castner is accused of selling Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards to undercover agents.

Manatee Sheriff Brad Steube said some of the people caught in the sting said they were using money from selling the cards to buy "rock cocaine, drugs and alcohol."

After he was booked, Castner was forced to ditch his ironic T-shirt for more traditional prison garb and a mug shot.

There is a feel-good angle to this story. WBTV reported that the sheriff’s office used $9,000 in recovered food stamp money to buy baby formula for the Manatee County food bank.
