Drama is a good thing for esports no matter what people say. Drama is what gets peoples attention, they are curious to see why 2 players are arguing, what happened with that trade, all of that! Sorry if it annoys you but it is here to stay!
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

Drama is never a good thing. Sure, it may grab some peoples attention that normally wouldn't give a rats ass, but that doesn't mean its good. It causes stress on everyone within the community and the supporters. I'm a fairly new fan to the SC2 scene, and the intelligence and manner of its people is what really drew me in, and my love of SC/Blizzard, of course. However, as of lately, all the drama is so unappealing. It really bums me out to see this happening.

I started to wonder if this was how things always were. Apparently not. I was about to post a thread but searched and found this blog. I'd like to bump it and hear peoples views if that's ok with the mods. If eSports was expanding without negative commotion before, why not keep it that way? Is there a point in popularity where there is no return? To those who have been around for years, does it bother you that controversies are happening more often? Maybe it's just me, or its been a bad couple months for eSports and things will settle down, but I don't like it at all, and I hope it goes away soon. =/
That's what she said.

sorry dude, but reality tv is popular because people love drama. its not surprising that its bled into tl.net forums.


Reality TV is popular because the average person is a fucking idiot. As a community of above-average intelligence, I would hope we can be a little more sophisticated. Unfortunately, the massive influx of people SC2 brought sort of precludes that from happening.

Obviously it's fine to love drama, but if you're a fan of Starcraft, the drama you love should be the in-game tension between players and their respective armies, or possibly long-standing rivalries between players, NOT flipping your shit every time a player leaves a team or a caster makes a mistake or something goes wrong at a venue. Starcraft is already dramatic -- it's a fast-paced war game, for god's sake. There's no need to latch on to soap-opera-level drama when already have the game itself.


I dunno why you think the average teamliquid poster is above average intelligence.

Because there's a fairly high density of nerds (starcraft is a thinker's game).



What about people like deezer and combatex?


He doesn't and can't mean everybody. Also there are exceptions to rules and generalizations don't mean everybody.

I'm disappointed because I read the title as Drama Overlord. =(

Edit: Looks like Torenhire thought so as well.
So wait? I'm bad? =(
