People who say "I remember when games were X" etc just sound like idiots. People would have killed to have a professional scene like SC2 has now when CS came out, same when Quake was big. Stop living in your dreamworld nostalgia, the gaming world hasn't turned to shit, you just happened to grow up. It's especially ridiculous when people say "games used to be all about fun, which is ruined now" when it relies 100% on the player. A bunch of 11 year old kids playing around with SC2 like we did with BW are having the same experience, they don't give a shit about whether or not Destiny uses bad words on stream.

Damn, man, seems to be alot of built up rage coming out in this blog. Though, I'm a bit shocked to see you of all people take this stance. I mean, after your rampage through bronze and all the hate your blogs get, I'd think you'd just not give a fuck about all the haters out there.

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!

Yea let's shit all over everything and add more negativity to a constant stream of negativity because we think our opinion is more important than everyone else's.

Am I doing it right?

I think it's alarming that so many people took the "FOR ESPORTS" jargon seriously. 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.

5/5, your bronzie adventures were fun to read but this one was just as good of a read (without all those fancy pictures).

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.

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.

This is so fucking stupid, It is like one of those SC2 RUINED TEAM LIQUID posts, IT WAS SO MUCH COOLER BEFORE! Yeah the site and moderation has changed alot but esports/competitive gaming has always been at the core of the site. If you want to blame or rage at anything you can be angry at gamers for being immature/childish. But thats kind of expected isnt it?

These sheeps yelling ESPORTS is lame. Its great that finally someone actually speaks my mind.
"BW is the past, let it go, its SC2 time, for sake of ESPORTS!" yea....eat shit.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

I'll finish reading the thread in a moment but first I want to express my feelings on the subject and maybe not that original.

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...

5/5 wil definitely read again.

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...

I hear you Gheed, and yes, that thread about Destiny (along with the way Orb was manhandled) has really shaken my confidence as well. Though I am sticking around for the pro matches, which I still find beauty in.
