The "e-sports" fan.
Fan of Starcaft 2. Talks endlessly about growing e-sports. Talks trash about any competitive game that is not Starcraft 2.

Haha I thought of putting that way, but I thought it would be more comical.


I like your way better ^^

I'm not sure how to write it up but what about us Fans of non-players? For example my favorite esports person is Sir Scoots and he has done a shit ton to motivate me so that one day I can have an intelligent conversation with him.

Because I will never be one of his players (since I am shit) and I know I have no potential as a caster (also shit) I hope to one day organize an event large enough to get the EG crew down. Where do I land?

hrmm...

The (P)Stats Fan: This player is mostly a Flash fan, for one reason or another. Occasionally they have some quest to prove to themselves that KTFlash is not a one man team, and they end up here. GL with that...
#1 MMA fan! I like you too Taeja. Still patiently waiting for the Crown Prince to become the King.

The Fangirl
Doesn't put in a large amount of effort to understanding the game or playing the game. They watch the game to cheer on the player who they are the most attracted to. They are often seen holding up signs denouncing their affection towards a certain player, while hiding their face. Fangirls are usually female, but male fangirls exist as well.

I'm a reviewer and I've edited at least once on every player page (almost). I content and grammar check regularly. Try me. :D

You forgot the kissass that never lets you criticize anything about a certain player because "you are no pro herp you don't know anything it was his plan to get supply blocked thats his build duh".

Fun list though :D

The PBU
The previously banned user has only one person he's cheering for. Himself. The PBU will register during a tournament and as quickly as he can post in the Live Report thread deriding a player or race as viciously as possible before a moderator stamps him out again. This fan is unique in the sense that he only likes himself and hates everyone else, including Elly, ETT, Nyovne and any form of happiness.

The Succubus Fan Girl

Who knows if she's actually is into SC/SC2 or has even played the game at all. All she knows is that she's hot and found a niche where it isn't hard to gain easy access to these pro-gamers who are successful yet relatively inexperienced with girls due to age and/or being in front of the computer all day.

She usually gets her start by aggressively approaching and dating a lesser accomplished pro-gamer who is well connected and friends with all the top pros. Whether it was all premeditated or not is irrelevant. Due to her new boyfriend she ends up in social situations whether they are simply going out and drinking or gatherings at gaming events. During these social situations she will go after the most successful pro-gamer behind their boyfriend's back, get the numbers, and repeat the aggressive seduction process.

The Succubus's presence in her pro-gamer boyfriend's life will invariably lessen his focus on being a pro-gamer and will almost always result in a slump for the pro-gamer. But as the Succubus knows, whether it be consciously or subconsciously, her current ensnared pro-gamer losing his throne due to slump will only mean that a new target will have acquired the throne. Succubus fan girls are generally older in age and target pro-gamers younger than themselves. Succubus fan girls always have a dominant position in the relationship.
