Just a side comment on the beginning of your blog. What do you expect of Terrel Pryor? I mean he did go to Ohio State

Other than that great write up 5/5

So, I'm not going to congratulate you. kinda of out of Jealousy, but mostly because I think that would be inappropriately weak.

I more want to thank you. Thank you for taking this opportunity and helping to prove that we as a people are pretty neat, and that we don't need to be afraid of strangers. Thanks Ret for taking this offer, and thanks to all the repliers who are all seemingly pretty awesome dudes and/or dudettes.

Ret is among the most manner and laid back pros when it comes to interacting with his fans imo, almost always replies to well wishers on bnet (unless ingame ofc). Nerd Baller Supreme

Person A earns minimum wage: has no reason to be arrogant
Person B earn luxury sports money: His/Her asshatery comes out when they dont have to be nice to get ahead in life.

tl;dr being an ass, and corrupted by good money doesn't make you a bad person. gg fanboy.

but ignoring that very nice, i love all these private experiences with players <3

tl;dr: i once met Daniel Lee on WCG Cologne and talked to the guy like an hour, with not exactly knowing who he was. Didnt order him a beer, though we drank some. Whats the point?

Couldn't agree with the OP more. I briefly ran into Ret and Audrey at MLG Providence while watching HayprO play. He looked like the rest of us fanboys: intensely interested in the games. But he was so chill and really easy to approach. The guy behind me actually said this to Jos to which he laughingly replied, "Well I'm not exactly like Idra..."

Nice blog! It's nice to hear how normal pro gamers are! I hope that doesn't change when they get uber famous... but i guess has to once there is too much fame to keep up with
