I hope we never get LAN. I hope all the sponsors pull out when they realize that marketing $200 dollar video cards to 16 year-olds too cheap to even pay for GomTV subscriptions is actually not a very good business plan Hahaha, seriously. I never understood why sponsors try to advertise their overpriced computer products to thier targeted market. Kids and poor college students generally don't have money to throw on 300$ kingston hyperX SSDs or whatever the fuck they sell. Wonder how much profit they actually rake in selling those things. Great blog, 5/5. | ||

Another 25% of the time ends with "fucking newb l2p, Protoss/Terran/Zerg OP race" which just gets really annoying after the third or fourth time. A discussion involves two people. Just put the guys on ignore, continue playing. I guess I'm just better at ignoring it than other people, but seriously its just some dude on the internet whom you shall never meet. Just leave him to rage in silence. | ||

If it were more of a niche game, his blogs would certainly not be as popular. Esports as an economic model right here | ||

Nobody is forcing you to listen to the hordes of ravenous morons, and if you believe stupidity is unique to esport, then I might have to disagree with you. Maybe it's just that you don't like the game itself? I still get tremendous amount of fun from it whether I am competing on the ladder or playing on skype with friends. Very nicely written thought, 5/5. ( and yes, fuck that thread) | ||

And if you would enjoy watching a korean play a "competitive game" and i'm going to say that because obviously that's what you choose to call it even though it's what most people today would refer to it as electronic sports which is what we are all talking about here, but.. your only really just putting it a vague way. To me it seems you're pretty close to being a hypocrite here lol... I for one am not going to let other people driven to hail or go out of there way to devout themselves to Esports bother me instead I will embrace it... Idk man maybe i'm just crazy. | ||

You may not like e-sports, but it is the way of the future. It's funny that you call the Op an idiot when you clearly cannot understand his post. Also, there is really no reason to get all aggressive even if he did infact write what you think he wrote. He never said sc2 isn't a sport, or that it's not good enough to be a sport, what he said is that people have forgotten to play the game for fun and that everyone is to competitive and to serious, at such lengths that someone saying bad words in the game will cause major drama as it'll portray a poor picture of esports. Just like you, I disagree with op, but this post was both entertaining and did strike right on the head of something quite spectacular in the sc2 community. So I don't see any reason to call OP an idiot, or in fact stupid at all. Personally, I don't think anyone should use racist/homophobic slurs, and I love being competitve, so for me the matureness and competitiveness of the SC2 community is perfect, but it obviously does not match for everyone. | ||

Personally, I'm a Starcraft 2 fan, and not really an Esports fan, I could care less about LoL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | ||
