So you're one of these pathetics fanboys ruining streams sessions, warming-up fingers of progamers by forcing them to close hundreds of chat windows between games, and setting themselves to busy 24/7 so they are no longer bothered by pointless people, but at the same time people who matter to them are drowned in the middle of silly messages like "what keyboard do you use ?" "how do you defend X ?"

Yes, you can add everyone on your friend's list and talk to them as a buddy.

Here is the problem, you can't decline people you dont know, you're forced to block them. :/

Yes, I am a "pathetic fanboy" if you would use that term.

Well, I don't ask "silly messages", all I'm doing is collecting "hi" from various progamers.
Furthermore, I think a good analogy to this would be asking someone for their autograph. No, I'm not giving them an interview. No, I'm not asking them questions. All I'm doing is for them to sign their name on a piece of paper. Would they get annoyed by that? Possibly, but overall I'm pretty sure various progamers are happy to see such fans.

Furthermore, I do not talk to them while they are streaming. Or when they are in a game (except Pokebunny

) because I know that it disturbs viewers. Provided, I did find Spanishiwa on his stream but that was in a chatroom that many others were in too.

I will agree it does seem like something that is kind of annoying going around to pros and asking to say hi to them. However, the Tyler comment was very funny.

I hope the pros think of it not as annoying, but as fanboyism :D
Sorry to them if I was annoying though

Tyler comment: he was joking right D:

Thing is... you're not the only one that sends messages like this. Think of all the other hundreds of kids who think it's super cool to message a pro on b.net. Spamfest.

i'll report you for harassment

not sure if youre being serious or not, but if you are then i fully support this because quite simply, it is harrasment.

but i think this is really immature OP. Im not famous or anything, but if i was i really wouldnt want people messaging me when im trying to ladder, posting in my fan club, @mentioning me on twitter, Seeing people at events like MLG, those are ways i would want to communicate with fans. getting messaged on bnet when im practicing? no leave me alone. you wouldnt go to a football field and yell at tom brady while he is in training, so dont go on battle.net and yell at players while they are practicing

Hello,

I think thats somewhat cute ^^

I wrote a lote of guides/made shoutcasts in the german language so naturally I get a lot of whispers when I log in. They are

20% - Thanks for doing what you do
10% - Hey, whats up? / Hi
40% - WHERE ARE THE NEW VIDEOS/GUIDES/WHY DO YOU HAVE A LIVE?
30% - Can you help me with problem X and teach me how to do that without charging any money for a coaching lesson because I am special? ^.^

I have absolutely no problem with people stopping by to say "Hello" when they don't harrass me afterwards ^^ (Thats mainly because I have a hard time saying "no" to somebody, so I spend a lot of time chatting)

And as its over in two weeks anyway theres not much harm that can be done ^^

I wouldn't say anything if it wasn't for your reaction when they said hi...

-_- I bet they really want a DnD

And btw about Tyler's comment I doubt he was being serious but when he's annoyed on stream he reports and blocks people that say hi or glhf

Wow... he is just saying Hi.... seriously people in this thread need to calm down... It's not like he is actually spamming them or anything merely saying Hi! I understand that people messaging and harassing pros is a big problem, but this is clearly not one of those people.

Why respond in all caps? I understand you might be genuinely excited, but it comes off as being sarcastic.

If you're really a fan of these players, why not ask Gretorp, "what's in store for next season of NASL?" or ask Destiny, "do you plan on attending the next MLG?"

instead of

"OMFG"

Damn that's annoying.. I suppose that's why IdrA is always set to busy. I'm just more than happy having a few of the pros on my friends list. ^^ *self-giggle*

jeez, i think some of you are being too harsh
this guy's just asking for an online autograph, nothing more
if the pros find it annoying they'll simply not respond
if they find it fine, they'll say hi
