We’re back on schedule with this weeks episode of Starcraft Weekly, and we’re also back in the studio to give you that epic blue background that you missed in last weeks episode.
This week we focus on Dreamhack, ICCUP, ToT clan invites and losses, Valor tournament, WCG, Zotac Cup, Tip of the week, Sea.Really vs. Bisu, June’s KeSPA ranking, KTF name change, GomTV, and much more.
Next week's episode is sure to be interesting. Earlier tonight Leta was accused of cheating in the KT vs Sparkyz ace match (after like 4-5 hours of games) in Proleague. The game was paused by a referee shortly after Leta defended against a proxy by ForGG, because the KT coaches accused Leta of looking into the crowd and getting signals from fans about the proxy.
Lots of drama ensued. There's a bit more info here but I'm guessing much more will come out tomorrow and over the next few days.
If looking out of your booth is considered cheating (something that might not even be done consciously) then maybe they shouldn't have a gigantic fucking window on the front of them overlooking the crowd. :)
yeah, and also the tantrum. Seeing as he is a friend of Idra he might keep it not overly open, but he should say something. A log would be sweet, I didn't see anything in the VOD. Anybody here have premium? :D

Reading this, that's pretty ridiculous that SDM ended up going off. If it's cursing, then why did he complain about the "shitty" game? If it's the BM, why did he act like a spoiled brat and take his ball and go home instead of casting the reamaining games?
All in all a poor performance by both people, but SDM blew this WAY out of proportion.
SDM gave IdrA the opportunity to go to Korea and on top of that gave him his progamer license. He expects him to act like any of the other progamers (personally being in a foreign land I would expect to act even more respectful). What IdrA says might not look so bad on the surface, but he's insinuating a lot of things.
IdrA's poor manner (especially in comparison to every other Korean progamer) reflects badly on Daniel Lee, who gave him the opportunity to be the link between foreign and Korean SC, and to get the Korean scene more interested in the foreign scene, and instead all he has done is act like a dickhead, get traded away from one team to another because (it seems to me) that no one liked him at eSTRO, and fail even in the B-team leagues.
I'd say Daniel Lee had heard of Idra's poor behaviour, but hadn't actually witnessed it yet. His reaction was probably also to the fact that all the things he had only heard are actually true. I'd love to see how Daniel Lee would react to some of the other shit that IdrA has pulled.
TBH I don't think I can judge either of them. It looks like SDM overreacted, but I don't really know the KeSPA rules and how serious is this, so... I need to read some more, but the blog on temaliquid was deleted :\
