My 2c on the topic is that BMing on the ladder is pretty standard for a lot of people... while this is an unfortunate reality, I don't think it's that huge of a deal. However, BMing in tournaments (even small online ones) is pretty dickish. RaNgeD would you care to elaborate on what type of BM your post is referring to? I mean did you put a bunch of pylons around the map and AFK in an obviously lost tournament game and call your opponent a newb? Or did you just quit out of a ladder game without GGing? | ||

I mean did you put a bunch of pylons around the map and AFK in an obviously lost tournament game and call your opponent a newb? Or did you just quit out of a ladder game without GGing? Well I was cussing at my opponents at the end of ladder games, in the quarters/semis of playhem's (being cast) and also in the TSL4 Qualifiers. Also in the CSN eizo world rundown event I was a total tool to SeleCT. There are a lot of different opinions on leaving without gg, but personally I tend to do it when I'm mad. It is better than saying something stupid, but I feel like it's important to say gg (again, part of sportsmanship). For me it's a show of respect. I feel super refreshed playing the last two days. Treating people with kindness goes a long way; I don't have a lot of bent up anxiety anymore that comes from the guilt of treating people poorly, and I can already see it reflecting in my play. Attitude/mindset are some things that I don't think are talked about enough in the community. There is definitely a balance to be found between playing to win and still respecting your opponent as not just a human being, but as someone who may love Starcraft just as much as you do. This is definitely something that I have struggled with, and i'm sure other players have too. And although i'm sure this isn't the last time that i'll make a mistake, adjusting my attitude towards other's is something that I am prioritizing just as much as getting better, now. I already feel a lot more joy in playing; I know that his is pretty obvious, but most of us are playing because we are passionate and love the heck out of SC; that passion should bring us all together, not tear us a part. I know that not everyone will agree with me on all of this; but I've spent a lot of time in deep thought and it's how I personally feel. | ||
