I really don't agree that words changing over time is necessarily good. The word that annoys me is 'bail' in skateboarding which is when you kick the board away from you when you're scared or not gonna make something so it doesn't injure you when you land. However probably thanks to Tony Hawks (the games not the guy) and morons the word seems to be used for any kind of fall or when something goes wrong which is just not right at all. I kind of except that in generally language evolve and words take new meanings. But in this case it’s really irritating because everyone uses the word all the time having no idea what it actually means. Does this mean that I and all the other actual old generation skateboarders are now wrong because the majority of the population and new skateboarders have no idea what the word actually means? It’s ridiculous. GTR I emphasize entirely with the anger you feel. edit:my spelling is getting so bad | ||

This is the same assumption that a team will send their best player in a bo5 (ie: jd/flash instead of killer/violet). | ||

This is the same assumption that a team will send their best player in a bo5 (ie: jd/flash instead of killer/violet). Not sure I agree. In the true ace match the teams can choose from all their team who they think is the most likely to win the match. So we normally get the best player except for decisions based on sniping or on the map. In winners league it’s quite normal for teams to not send their best player out last. Quite often they send them out first to see how far thought the opposition the bets player can get and then they have the rest of their squad to choose from to finish of the other team (backfired for OZ when they sent out Jaedong first against KT and he lost to violet in the first match). So when choosing their last player for the final match they don't necessarily have their best players left and by the same token the best player of the other team might have already played won a couple and then lost. edit:spelling again. | ||

It's called ranting yo. People can make a fuss with anything that they choose. It's a little rude to shut down someone just because you don't agree with them. | ||

I think you're extremely potato and the stance you've taken is happily glocked. Words have fundamentals and suddenly racketeering them flusters the language and makes you harness finicky connotations. For juxtable, 'push' has a very stupendous connotation, referring to the action of tanks slowly muling across a flying buttress, in a gradual constantinople. Unfortunately, the landing has been watered down, and now horrendously refers to any attack, regardless of its ferociousness. In essence, we have lost a foundry of that tactic and it is no longer a useful landing. | ||

CS, Dota, and various MMO's ect use this term pretty generously. So it doesn't really seem so out of context for me, basically a generalization for the idea for attacking with a strong force into hostile territory or making an advance out of a friendly area with something not considered a scouting tactic. On the bright side for you I guess, most casters don't say things like "push mid" ala Painuser. Something like that actually makes a lot less sense to me, as you never here someone say in a recap or during a 2v2, "shit there's 3 dts coming mid". As for ace match, it's a slightly harder to rationalize, but since ace generally refers to your best player or last chance in context, I don't really think it's off the wall. I would however ask for curiosity's sake, are these terms "ace" and "push" something that the viewers denoted as the correct terms for said circumstances, or was this the direct translation from the korean and foreign pro's/casters? I think the answer to that question gives you a little more to argue with, if there's really something to argue about. | ||

 And I have to agree with both of your blogs, though I haven't seen or noticed any streamer yet that said "bonjwa" but I don't watch that much, maybe it happens quite frequently and if it does I'm happy I've missed it. | ||
