Let me know your thoughts !
Someone from korea please confirm, but wouldn't this be considered very rude in korean culture (the whole act of going over to person you just beat)? I mean I know Jinro came to MC after beating him in GSL groups, but that's because they're good friends.
To be honest I don't see any "celebration" in your options except of E.
If you want to be nice, I'd suggest you to give them a gift BEFORE the match. This is how we do it in board game I play. When I participated in World championship, I gave everyone before a game a bottle of best czech beer.
I also think good "celebration" if you lose would be to congratulate the winner. People are doing it in every sport, even chess, but I've never seen someone doing it in starcraft (maybe except of no.1 baller White-Ra), It's very classy to show you're able to accept defeat imo.
how about drinking water in front of their faces? Then actioning that it was a very hard match that you got dehydrated thereafter? lol <3 fxo! fighting!

well I just came up with an idea if you wanted to do a classic bm celebration (sometimes the other team starts the bm and you just can't be nice). Point at their team/the player you just beat and puff out a candle :D
Or option F, grab a chair from the audience, take a pipe and sunglasses out of your pockets, sit down on the chair, facing your opponent, proceed to insert the pipe in your mouth and put on the glasses. Act smug as fuck.
Success.
EDIT: Alternatively, option E, while saying, "I WHIP MY HAIR, BACK AND FORTH!". Do this only in the Team League.

Should do something like this.
Make it like Sheth vs Korean name and then the loser's name gets striked through like above with a sad or happy face :D
Whatever you do don't do any of those things, from what I've read even going over to your opponent after he has lost (unless you know him very well) is a huge insult and the equal to a westerner gloating in victory. Giving them gifts etc. would probably be taken as real insults :D
Just try to bow and be nice before the game or something I guess :o
Wondering if you could comment sheth, a lot of people feel that for your team to move on, you will have to do most the work, as it seems to the community you are by far the best player on your team. How do you feel about that?
Also, if it's true, and you gotta take 2-4 games yourself, I hope the rest of your team mates are practicing for very specific players and maps each ^-^.
Don't worry about celebrations until you have a rival. Just be thankful that you have this chance. Why bother yourself with such folly anyway? You think your Korean opponent is thinking about celebrations?

You are in Korea, a foreign place and all though they support you guys being their, they all want to see you destroyed. So when you win, if you showboat and gloat and essentially insult them all, they will disapprove even more. If you do something, it has to be something nice, if you beat an idol, bring them a gift, if you beat a legend, bow and thank them, etc.
I think you should definitely play homage to FBH for changing how one views victory ceremonies. If it weren't for him KeSPA would have never banned such beautiful displays.
Hell, put a spin on things. If you lose you should do something too! Be a pioneer.
Here's something you could do:
Hold up a cheerful saying something along the lines of, "Thank you KeSPA for ruining victory ceremonies!" and do a thumbs up and then you can give it to someone in the crowd.
That would make you a true baller.
Or bust out the boombox, turn it up really loud as your walking out. Have Run DMC "It's like that" playing and start dancing.
