I don't agree with much of what you have written here. I mean, there are tons of games that have exactly what you are looking for. Small communities, focus on fun. Shit, even SC2 has tons of custom games and drone-rushing randomness to offer if you're into that sort of thing and want to stear clear of all the drama. To me it sounds like you are just tired of the tournament community, which is understandable I guess. But the way I see it is you just have to focus on the aspects of games that you like. There are always asshats out there who talk big and shout ten-times louder than everyone else, but they are not what gaming is about  Very well written as always though and well thought out as usual. I hope you enjoy Diablo 3! | ||

I don't mind people using the word "eSports" as long as they understand the responsibility that comes with the word. Sadly, from what I've observed in the past few months and its controversial incidents, this community (TL is supposedly one of the most mature and well moderated out there) is still not ready to present eSports to the mainstream media and culture. | ||

I thought it was just a dumb freaking joke a few of the mods passed by here YEARS ago and it got picked up by the more obstinate and easily ignored members of the forum. Ï know that the FGC-casters use "FOR ESPORTS" like a joke when they swear on stream and need to "act professional" and such. They also use it pretty ironically when there's a lot of people at a venue. | ||

I really hate the term 'esports', it's tossed around as if it's a movement that unites fans of a game under one banner with a devotional aura. I hate people who make blogs complaining about their opponents not 'gg'-ing after games or not replying to their 'gl hf'. And all this excess fat people put around the game that is not necessary. What I like is the game of starcraft, people play on ladder against each other. They play UMS, BGH, Comp Stomps and Fastest... And there are some who are really good and actually are competing in the game for real monies. It's even televised in Korea, because there are so many people who enjoy it. But when people tell you how you should act and feel about it to make the game and scene something it is not it makes me sick in the guliver... | ||

The thing I notice most about the BW/Sc2 communities is how they came to be. The BW community is much more organic and really grew out of just a pure love for the game and a passion to discuss it on this site. The Sc2 community is a lot more immature and spouts a lot more hypocrisy since many of the members are immature and have frankly flawed views about starcraft/esports/etc... Bring back TL 2004 version. | ||
