IdrA: Biography, Facts and Career

Gregory "Greg" Fields, better known by his in-game name IdrA (pronounced /ˈɪˌdrə/ I-druh) is a former professional StarCraft II and Brood War player who predominantly played as Terran in Brood War, but switched to Zerg for StarCraft II. After retiring to focus on school, he returned to former team Evil Geniuses for Heroes of the Storm. In Starcraft II, IdrA was known for his focus on economy, production, and general army management, also known as macromanagement. This caused him to "hate" sub-optimal strategies that typically only work when the opponent does not expect them, also known as cheese. The "IdrA Build" is so-called because IdrA rarely deviated from this build during the beta. Such pertinacity is exemplary of his play style, which has occasionally proven to be somewhat vulnerable to unconventional or unexpected enemy tactics. Despite gathering respect from both fans and players alike for his abilities, IdrA has gained considerable notoriety for his displays of improper etiquette both during ladder and online tournament matches. His habit of trash talking, vocalizing perceived game imbalance and abandoning games in a fit of frustration , have made him a controversial player within the StarCraft scene. He's currently involved in physics research and co-authored a paper research on multiple aging mechanisms on 2019.
