He didn't have to, no one forced him. If you don't like it - that's fine. But dont do it (when you dont have to) and then later complain about how much it sucks. | ||

On October 30 2011 01:00 Milkis wrote: I'm Done. It's kind of a hard decision to make, to cut it all off and just leave. But I've spent thinking about it over the night and honestly I can't think of what would ever motivate me to do anything within this sphere of "eSports" anymore. I'll be honest. I never expected people to agree with my opinion on what makes something an eSport or not. I've been quite honest about how my opinion is elitist, and I fully expected disagreement over the definition. Of course, looking at some of the reactions did make me realize that yes, I should have been more careful about how I phrased it. I obviously didn't mean to "shit" on other games as a competitive game, but I could see why people would see it in that way. But does all this mean that any of you have the right to call me retarded? an idiot? I couldn't care less about what you considered my opinion. What I care about is the comments that suddenly popped up. Apparently, suddenly, I'm a terrible translator. Everything is a fluke. There are suddenly no place in eSports for people like me. You know, let me tell you this. I never wanted to do live translation to begin with. Deciding to help out at MLG Columbus took a pretty big decision because live translation was absolutely the last thing I wanted to do. And yet MLG looked like they needed someone so I jumped on board. I asked Lee if I absolutely had to and he said it was expected for me to. So I did it. Call me "nervous" whenever I go on stage but it's more exhaustion than anything else considering I'm terrible at taking care of myself at MLGs because I always run around so much and I have trouble putting myself before other things that need to be done. One of the reasons why I decided not to go to Providence (and apparently, it was the correct decision) was because I looked at myself in a mirror during the event at Orlando and I looked pretty much dead. I look nervous? No, I'm fucking exhausted. It's kind of shitty when people start criticizing you over shit like this. "OH HES SUCH A BAD TRANSLATOR HE IS ALWAYS SO NERVOUS". Or someone to say "My KR friend says X" or "X is better". Right. And then comes the criticism of my written work. Suddenly, everything I do is shit. Everything I've done is absolute shit. And people start agreeing with it because you disagree with my opinion? You want to know why I bothered doing anything for the community? Because I always thought the community deserved more. I never wanted to be popular nor did I want attention (although I guess I did enjoy it, but it's not something I ever wanted). It's the last thing I wanted. All I wanted to do was bring you guys good content, and I always just wanted the means to do so. I wanted to do a lot of nice things for the community because I was capable of doing it and seeing you guys appreciate the content was always good enough. Why else would I take on any of these extra works, or brainstorm a ton of new things I could do for the community? Sadly, none of these will come to fruition anymore but I guess it doesn't even matter. I've never been so absolutely demotivated in my life. It's kind of hilarious how people can be. All over a single opinion. A single opinion that no one even bothered reading because everyone started putting words in my mouth and then attacking me personally. And then giving me lectures. I'm done. I guess it's good riddance for all of you. NO. User was warned for this post | ||

I can't pretend to know how good your live translation, but I've never heard a player complain about your translation, and that's great in my book. You're a good man, and if you can rise above petty people crying that you don't think SC2 has risen to SC:BW's level yet, and keep up the great work you're doing, I can guarantee at least my nerd-love. | ||

Now he does the coward thing of crying and running away. Nothing special, we don't need people this weak to begin with. I always thought Milkis was weird when he almost started crying when EGAlex just asked a question. He didn't say other esports were BS, he just told that BW was bigger than every other esports, and by his oppinion it was the only one fulfilling his conditions being an esport (meaning it gets as close to sport as possible). Can you argue with it? Is there an other game people don't play but watch it on TV? Is there an other game where huge companies invest so much money that some players get more than 200000$ per years? Is there an other game that has or had as much crowd watching it live? You may not agree to his conditions, but you can't disagree that bw has accomplished much more than any other game yet. | ||

i for one actually never heard anybody badmouth your performance as a live translator, mostly it was like "hey look it's milkis! cool he's doing translation for mlg now with smix and other people". i have no idea who said that you didn't do well 'cause i never saw anyone say it myself. always appreciated your work and will appreciate any future work you might do  | ||

"Brood War is the only true eSports." That is exactly what he said. | ||

"Dumb bitches should stay out of this game" "Get back in the kitchen" "Get a real caster so you can make him a sandwich" "Fucking dumb bitch but I'd fuck her" "I hope she dies" I said "I don't think she's that bad honestly" Here's what people said about me: "lol fag" "Stop white knighting bitch" "lol stupid virgin" "No place in the world for bitches like you two" "I hope you die" "I hope your mother gets cancer you stupid virgin white knight loser" Here's the point: a lot of people fucking suck. But they are simply idiots at their computer with nothing better to do. Everyone who does anything ever, particularly in front of large groups including the internet, deals with them. That sums up all of the excessively harsh posts. Not really a big deal. For those who disagreed on your reddit post without being harsh (such as DjWheat), you took a pretty polarizing position on the issue of BW vs. all other games, and people inevitably disagreed with you. Hell, I think BW is the best game ever and I thought your point was a bit unfair. But honestly, you are a respected figure who is recognized for doing something in the sc2 community, which is something I'd love to be in a few years (as well as many other people on here I'm sure), you really shouldn't be quitting over anything like this. | ||

However, it is hard for me to sympathize with him, especially after reading such a bitter post. But let me say this, and I hope you read this Milkis: you need to grow thicker skin. You're not a kid anymore, and you should know by now that in the world, there will always be haters. Not everyone is going to tell you that you're greatest guy in the world. If you want to leave the community forever, fine go ahead, but you should have taken the high road when you posted this. You're not a victim and nobody will feel sorry for you. The more defensive you get, the more people will shit on you (e.g. INcontroL). Trust me, if you simply disregard what the trolls/haters say, you will have a much happier life, and that applies to everything (family life, internet, professional life, school, etc). You have absolutely no control over what somebody else says/does. What you control is how YOU react to that. And this time, you blew it. Because leaving the community and deleting your twitter and reddit account means you acknowledge what the trolls say about you and you are simply running away. Think about it though, at the end of the day, why should trolls/haters have an influence on what you do in life? You said it yourself that you do enjoy providing content for the community, isn't that motivation enough to continue doing so? How did all the supportive comments you received made you feel? think about how much us foreigners enjoyed reading you translations (especially your blog). Why should the hater comments outweigh all the love/support you receive from the community? Anyways just my 2 cents. Felt the need to post this and hope Milkis reads this because even if he is deadset on not coming back, I won't be surprised if he reacts the same way he just did to other things in life. I just hope he changes for the better. Hope you know that I'm not attacking you with this post and I did enjoy all the content you provided us. Good luck in your future endeavours | ||
