I guess I should clarify my comments a little. I went to MLG Columbus and had a great time. I'm not trying to discourage people from attending, rather stating how great the home viewer experience is. I love MLG weekends, just love them a little more from the comfort of my home. I should also add that I'm 31, own a home and have a fully stocked fridge with beer at all times. My PC has two 23" monitors that are perfect for the red and blue streams.

You care enough to post in the thread. It's dbags like you with high post counts off of comments like that which drive people to Reddit.

Furthermore it's a frickin blog. How much of a tool do you need to be to tell everyone that you don't care about a blog you don't care about?

I dunno I think this is a pretty good discussion, recently with the NFL and NBA and HD televisions, a lot of fans would rather stay home and watch rather than go watch live. Especially if you have a barcraft or friends over, you still get some rah rah fan spirit too. SC2 events with multiple matches same time on streams are even more attractive for fans to stay home too in comparison to live sports. It's a very real problem for those big sports these days.

i guess i was wrong in saying no one cares, because based on this PM you just sent me it's very apparent that you care

Hey thanks for the comment you made on my blog. Since you're from Korea I can only assume you don't speak English and those are the only 3 words you know. As an American I can proudly say that I do not know a single word from your split country.

Here are two new English words that you can add to your vocabulary, Fuck Off. Broken down, it means this: 1) Fuck - what your country would be if American soldiers weren't standing guard on your northern border. 2) Off - not on.


I apologize.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

EDIT - ok, the OP is a douchebag. But I kinda agree with Hot_Bid. I know that I personally wanted to go to all of the events I can get to, but I've been unable to, due to a number of personal reasons. It really sucks. At the same time, I know many, many more people who would rather not go to an event like this, because they would rather watch streams at home.

Kinda disappointing.

Atleast we found out his true motivations for not going. I mean who really wants to travel all that way to see people from a split country take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

LOLOLOOLLOLOLOLOLOL

So awesome.

Back in serious mode for what Hot_Bid said: The difference is there is not a huge travel for him. I know 3 hours is a it of a hike, but if you give me the chance to experience a live MLG for a mere 3 hour drive I will take it all day. Just even being able to walk around the players area and look over the shoulders of tons of players is pretty awesome + the atmosphere + everything else.

Brought here by Diamond's tweet: I have to say that given the chance to go to an MLG, I would go in a heartbeat. I honestly try to go to any Melbourne event possible because I want to support these events by showing up and adding to the audience numbers.

If I happened to live near an MLG, especially a 3 hour drive, I will always go 10/10.

Facepalm worthy PM.

OP, ignoring your lack of knowledge in how to use your brain, or common sense, or manners, do you go watch other sports with friends, live? I assume you don't like that much either. I guess it's a matter of preference. There's nothing that comes close to the feeling of being part of a live audience.
Second closest is beer in a bar. Watching something at home ... well, maybe, with friends over. I prefer the bar, much easier to not clean up afterwards.

That PM mad em giggle a lot.

Someone dissing Rekrul is funny cause Rekrul around here is legend. Being a former bw progamer and all. Me thinks Op needs to maybe read on who Rekrul is and who to respect in the TL scene, cause acting like that to someone like Rekrul is not going to get you far. Maybe read a little bit on BW history and try to understand it. Also try being a little less of a bigit, your insulting a country and a people who kick ass on starcraft, and win at life in general.


Anyways back on topic. I think the entire live experince is being with the community. Being around people who are sharing your passions and your emotions while watching a game. Its all a part of this. Personally if I was a 30 hour drive away from a lan. I would still try to go. 3 hours is almost nothing and would go even if I had to walk.

Best. PM. Ever! Also, a well deserved PM (apart from the obvious racist stuff)!

Anyway, back to OP.

Isnt the first 5 points and the second 5 points the same? Only, one is the bad thing and one is the good thing of the same issue? So basically, there are 5 things that you think is better with staying home.
