I decided I was going to face these opponents again, but after every time I failed I would sit down, figure out why I failed, “and try and fix it and it’s no problem.”

Since applying the WhiteRa approach to Starcraft to my personal life I have lost 10 lbs. and my weight is steadily dropping. I exercise 3-5 times a week and sometimes more. I have even done something I thought I never could do, I blogged for 13 hours on a Saturday! I thought I would never have the self-discipline to work when nobody was threatening to fire me. But as it turns out, I do. Even though I have had to say GG many times in my personal life the past couple months I am still moving forward; learning from my mistakes and fixing

you're the one trolling at this point, my friend. "sad lonely little man"? right, that's it!

being an otaku for SC is a waste of life, full stop. real life is about responsibility, meaningful action, and hard work; politics, religion, and art were just examples ... obviously i was referring to any sort of activity that makes some sort of meaningful change in the world (teaching, medicine, charity work, etc etc); any career that actually does something, as opposed to playing a video game for corporate sponsors and providing trivial entertainment.

the fact that playing a video game can somehow occasionally accidentally inspire someone isn't a counter-argument. this reminds me of the people at the GDC who always feel compelled to throw in something about how video games can "change the world", where, actually, the engineers creating these games could change the world by leaving the video game industry and using their skills to actually do something meaningful. people are going to be inspired by terrible pop music, and touched by relationships and community for absolutely anything; starcraft is not the cause, but an accidental environment where this might occasionally happen ... it does not justify the triviality of esports.



i repeat; for anyone reading this thread, instead of getting 'inspired' about spreading the word for SC2, and geeking out with fanboy bull****, get inspired to spread the word for something that actually matters; get out and actually help someone, volunteer somewhere, and stop wasting your time pressing F5 on liquipedia or the TL front page. esports is trivial entertainment, and should not be the focus of your energy/time in any way, shape, or form.

Holy hell it's people like you that truly piss me off. You desreguard any good thing anything does that you find to mean nothing. SC2 an esports has done the world no good? Are you joking or trolling either im assuming you're doing. We have players like TLO and such who have done 24 hours streams of them just playing then donating any income from that stream to charity such as Doctor's Without Boarders which is an amazing charity that provides the world more good then Words can describe. Also another example of this the recent Rumble in the Bronze 2 which InControl helped cast which all money again went to charity. The charity for that one the name eludes me but it provides video games to terminally sick children who have nothing to look forward to but laying in a hospital bed all day everyday waiting an hoping that they'll actually get better. So before you come in spewing your self rightous baddle pelase study up on what you're about to bash please.
