There are these two friends of mine, friend X, and Y. Friend X started playing Starcraft 2 in november while friend Y just started two weaks ago. Amazingly in there first 1v1 game against each other, friend Y wins with a early roach push (Note:they both play Zerg). Friend X starts bitching that roaches are too op and that he was marcoing up which wasn't fare for friend y to rush him.
When they both play again, friend X wins this time, friend Y admits defeat like a man, but friend X start bitching out what friend Y did wrong when friend Y already know what he did wrong. Friend X later tells friend Y to stop acting like idrA (lol) because friend Y is raging at friend X for rubbing why he lost in friend Y's face.
Later that school day friend X tells our group of friends that friend Y was acting like a girl because apparently friend Y was on an "adrenaline rush rage that was making him look like he was on a period"
They start cussing at each other now, sadly I'm stuck in this scenario now because i'm good friend with them both. And i play SC2 too. They both tell me there side of the story which is making my head explode because I don't know what to do.
Oh all mighty Teamliquid, what should I do?
(Note: Both players are bronze Zerg. Friend X was in gold by 6 pooling all his placement matches then got dropped to bronze because he was horrible. [He made an excuse that he did it for the lols and that it's easier to get wins if you play against noobs] He is also known for acting like a douchebag most of the time.)
PS. We're in High School, grade 11.
PPS. Friend X is a better player then friend Y, because he has played longer then friend Y
Edit:Friend X has now posted this IdrA smack talk on facebook.

tell em to grow the fuck up

smash both of them and tell them they suck

Sounds like you need actual friends.

Like you said, it sounds like friend X is kind of a douchebag. He's in no position to be telling Y what he did wrong if he is a horrible bronze level player like you said. Sounds like Y took his win in style, and did the right thing by admitting defeat and realizing what he did wrong. Tell X to shut his mouth and just play the game, he's in no position to sling shit in either case

Organize a bo5 grudge match and have it streamed live for our amusement.

But the bad part is that I occasionaly lose to him in PvZ (i really suck in PvZ -__-) He'd probably say i don't have the right to tell him to stfu because "I suck for then him"

Take the moral high ground and play bw

You have a right to tell him to stfu because he's acting like an ass, your skill in sc has nothing to do with it. He's putting unnecessary strain on your friendship and he needs to just grow the fuck up and act more mature.

Hmmm this might do, but he's a friend that i don't want to lose. He helps me out with my homework and shit = P

From your info though, OP, I must pose the same question Megalisk does >< Surely your friends should be above this kind of bickering? o__o

I really doubt you'd lose him as a friend if you just asked him to keep his cool about these sorts of things. If he really is unwilling or lashes out at you for asking a simple thing like that, it might be worth considering jumping ship
|
Tell Friend X he's being unreasonable and if he keeps doing it then stop being friends with him and hang out with Friend Y instead. Friend Y sounds a lot nicer and a lot better of a person  Obv this is based off very little information haha but that's just my interpretation.
Looks like other people thought the same XD. But anyway, Friend X should be glad that he now has a rival and they can train/improve/talk about the game together . . .
|
sounds like elementary school to me, smack your friends and tell them to quit being babies.
|
tell them to chill out and learn from each other instead of fighting. they can both get out of bronze if they help each other out instead of crying about who's the better bronze player.
|
MMMMM maybe let them keep fighting, while u snatch all the girls.
WIN WIN
|
It's just a game. Chill out.

The area i live in, the asian females are really bitchy. I'm asian myself and I'd rather move to Toronto for girls lol

Don't let yourself get stuck trying to be loyal to both sides. First, seperate your interests in continued friendship from your actual opinion about their behavior. Then, be completely honest and forthright, but civil and appropriate, to both of them. You owe it to yourself and to your opinion. Then make it clear that the issue isn't that important and that you should all be friends regardless, assuming that you deem such to be the case. You may at some point decide that persuading X and Y to continue to be friends with each other isn't worth it. Then you're just going to have to deal with that.

I second this.
But yeah, seriously, Grade 11? How immature are they???

Just let it blow over. They'll be friends again in another couple days.

organize a bo5 and stream it for us ;D
nothing beats bronze pre-puberscent teens duking it out.
imagine the Trash Talk :D
|
Train Y in private, make him promise that he wont tell X.
Then get Y to arrange a grudge match or two and crush X.
Finish it up with Y offering to help X get better (in a non offensive way obviously).
X really sounds like he needs to learn some humility and Y sounds like a good candidate to do so.
|
X is a douchebag and deserve a butt whooping. Like AzTec say, train Y privately to own friend X. PM anyone of us to train friend Y because friend X is such an asshole.
|
Friends may be friends but douchebags are always douchebags.
You have to be the one to put friend X in his place and tell him what's what.
|
It's quite obvious that there is a massive maturity issue going on, and taking advantage of this for a "grudge match" is definitely not the proper decision.
Don't be afraid to point Friend X out about his maturity issues. A calm and friendly demeanor is required, and try not to be offensive or belligerent in any fashion.
There is no use arguing over a game, especially if it puts a friendship at risk. It is ridiculous that they are acting like this.
Hopefully, this will become water under the bridge, but if not, don't be afraid to take action.

Point your finger at them and laugh
"kekekeek, bronze nabs!" or something like that.
The hate they will have for you will make them allies, brothers in blood.
They will sparr each other to be the ultimate bronze zerg, maybe even make it so silver.
You will be humiliated -> your friends will become best friends forever.
Thank me later.

1v2 them, win, and call them both noobs. And when you're laughing, be sure to go up to the asshole one and laugh like this:

Arrange a grudgematch and have iNcontroL cast it.

Beat them both and tell them to stop bitching about pointless stuff like that.. They're bronze, they're not gonna make it big time with SC2 so who really cares..

the christian bible encourages it more than mine, i think! i sent no one to eternal damnation :p

BO7 (or BO5) broadcasted ofc., with a humiliation for the loser.
You know something like wearing a winner-to-chose T-shirt in public for a week.
|
I have 2 friends that argue over whos better. only thing is theyre both plat so i tell them they're both horrible
|
obviously X is wrong here. Either defend Y or Tell X he is wrong. That's what you should do as a good friend.

Seriously just chill like Tyler :D
Tell your friends to watch GSL S code matches like today and then tell them they suck and should shut up and just play to learn and improve. Since they're in bronze they should even not comment to others what they did wrong because they might even have the wrong reasons for that.
Of all bronze dude players I've seen and tried to help they think they know a lot but they simply are missing the little details and mechanics which everyone does untill you're at the top of diamond which I am not. Even I admit I don't know everything.
Now when you watch someone like Tyler's stream commentating and such he is someone that knows all.
So in summary just tell your friends they suck and let them subscribe to TL  and do not let them read sc2 strategy section.

From what I read of the OP, Friend Y doesn't appear to be quite as much of a douchebag as Friend X. Seems like Y was just trying to defend himself against X's nonsensical BM. Tell Y to just adhere to the NonY and just chill, and tell X to, as others have put it, grow the fuck up. I would also consider ditching X entirely as a friend if I were you.

Well OP, that really depends on a crucial question: Are you looking to salvage the friendship, or are you looking to get the maximum entertainment value out of this (yes, I suggest this)?

Sorry but 11th grade? That's fucking pathetic behavior for an 11th grader.

Make them play a best of 7. And the winner has to apologize first.
