+ Show Spoiler +Hey all, this is my first Battle Report, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway. I decided to do it because I owned TotalBiscuit. Anyway, I'd like to thank Archas for the title.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MQBe3cM.jpg) Starting off in the red trunks at the bottom right of Newkirk Precint, we have TotalBiscuit! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NjHGYKS.jpg) Aaaaaand at the bottom left in the blue trunks, we have Azera! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LILS3tG.jpg) I ask him if he's the real TB. Note the time at which I asked. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/G5NVTBk.jpg) A WHOPPING 41 SECONDS TO REPLY! This is before he even has to build his first supply depot, FYI. Clearly he's stacking his SCVs like a pro. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aR80TMZ.jpg) Back at home, I opened with the standard 15 hatch because I saw JD do it once on his stream. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CZeTgL0.jpg) TB opens with a quick expo with 1 rax and places his CC on the low ground. I let it slide, since he's TB after all. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0ffgK0E.jpg) Being the pro that he is, TB forgets to set a rally point for his Barracks. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/39cYrKl.jpg) TB then transitions to building 2 tech labs while opening his base to a Zergling run-by. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CaJpllX.jpg) Note that he's queuing Marines at the Barracks with the tech lab. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/V7wwbNa.jpg) I decide to go MutaLingBling. I heard NesTea was very successful with it. Meanwhile, in the minimap we can see TB is going for a push. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oa7OuUU.jpg) My bloodthirsty zergling at the watchtower leaps hungrily at the group of bio. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/zTht09x.jpg) Here he goes! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TGhOTS3.jpg) "OH SHIT! RETREAT!" ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8YvzZS2.jpg) TB attempts another poke ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DM6omGr.jpg) Owned. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/o0CK9mf.jpg) TB missed a really nice timing as well. If only he had waited for another 30 seconds. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xynIFuZ.jpg) The classic planetary fortress at the natural. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oJUfqqe.jpg) Now TB is setting up for another push. + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hObaTO2.jpg) Here it comes! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZVJw6I3.jpg) URP ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HTKeW12.jpg) It is at this point TB realizes the mistake that he's made. Should've just camped by the PF at his natural. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vn7ym2B.jpg) Seems like he was trying to establish a third. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/x6XQ8O0.jpg) "QUICK! TO WHERE IT'S SAFE!" ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1TWEYWp.jpg) Forced a cancel on his third expo. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vRvlFgp.jpg) Nearing 200/200, TB sets himself up for another attack. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/m1VRNdK.jpg) I prepare my defenses. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ctLmCHB.jpg) My creep is already reaching this third. TB wonders what lies ahead in the darkness. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vBWej7e.jpg) WADDUP ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/TN9eQE3.jpg) Before ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/26ZMJ77.jpg) After ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Lz3blvR.jpg) His third gets denied once again. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fdsJDIS.jpg) Counter-attack with my remaining mutas while re-maxing. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EPA9usA.jpg) TB goes Ultralisk hunting. + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WC03sc7.jpg) You can tell he tried to pick-up his units but failed miserably. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AKzBrec.jpg) GG!
I hope you enjoyed this BR. I'm not trying to offend TB, and everything is said in jest.

haha awesome, where's TB...I want to hear his perspective from this game. I bet he'll find this.

8.5/10
how many gremlins is that again i cant remember

Haha, 5/5, would read again. Now you need to make a cool tag line for when you beat casters, like "You Done Been Boned!" or "I Azera'd the fuck out of you!" something along those lines. If that was in there at the end instead of a GG, I would have given it a 7/5. =)
For a minute I was scared upon reading the title that this was going to be some kind of Azera/TB Slash fiction...even if it was, I probably still would have read it. LoL.
Nothing but love for TB and all he does, but this was funny.

Well, keep a good tag line in your back pocket, it can be useful not only for casters, but any random scrubs on the ladder like myself. Next battle report must have a good tag line or else it is 1/5 just for that. Haha.

Well done Azera, I highly approve of the title  . Oh man I'm so glad you beat him :D :D :D. Something about that man.

Well, TB has never actually said he was GOOD at playing the game 
(Better than I am, but still Plat.)

I can't wait for the title, "A day out with day9" or maybe, "Fucking up Frodan."

So he wrote a blog that people enjoyed and it was a waste of time? Is there a minimum number of people who have to be entertained by content produced by someone for it to be worth their time? You have videos that only a few hundred people watch, does that mean you are wasting you time with those? If he enjoys what he is doing and other people enjoy consuming that content is it really a waste? You would have disagreed with your post before your videos went viral.

TB, that was a pretty rude and needless comment. Im usually behind your cuntish, i mean british attitude because people deserve it, but this time it just seems off mate
P.S I am british dat aint racism.

awww that was anticlimactic.
I was hoping for at least a grudgematch bo5 challenge or something.

Writes an arrogant, mocking essay with a lovely bit of rape in the title.
I'm the rude one.
This community.
If casters can't even practice without being subject to being shit on, why even bother.

It is a joke.
You more than anyone should understand that poking fun at someone =/= insulting them. I mean seriously, you crap on Jesse all the time during the TGS podcasts, how could you not get this?

Last I checked there's a gigantic difference between ribbing my friend of 6 years and getting shit on by some random on a blog.

False equivalency is fucking awesome right? Lets you strawman your way out of every situation.
Call me when I spend hours making a piece of content designed specifically to shit on one person for the sole purpose of getting a little bit of e-fame. Then we can talk about how much of a hypocrite I am.
This guy is an asshole, not to mention creepy as hell for spending so long in the creation of this.

I give this blog 1 star, and TB 3.5 stars for semi-salvaging this blog by making it at least a little bit interesting

Sure it's a dumb self-masturbatory blog, but really? Pick your battles dude (ingame and irl).

Well, yeah, he's a wee HS kid, which means he is by definition a little bit of an egotistical asshole (though I am 100% sure he knows he's shitty at the game given his self-deprecatory remarks).
On the other hand you're an adult, so people naturally assume you're going to be mature about these things, even if a wee HS kid is not.
Well, you're certainly well within your rights to demand an apology. I'm sure Azera will give it, which is more than what you do yourself in certain situations.
NOTE: Azera, if you don't give an apology, I will demand one myself since you'll have made me look stupid.

unfortunately
still makes me laugh, totalbiscuit don't feel defensive i laughed at this br but not at you i laughed because the poor terrans were so boned
i didnt associate it with you negatively at all
|
Although TB didn't take it that way, I don't think anyone else here thought that this was somehow some way to degrade TB. It was just a joke with no actual meaning behind it.
If we can't laugh at ourselves...
|
If anyone's to blame, it's me for coming up with the thread title. I assume that part is what TotalBiscuit is ornery about, even though it was intended purely as an attempt at humor and meant no malicious intent. Azera just used it because he (and I) thought it was funny.
So, sorry about that, TB. I'll try to be more diplomatic in the future.
|
Not very funny... Nothing witty, just many screenshots of a famous personality losing, with a rude title and trying to make TB look bad.
A different title, and a more lighthearted tone in the captions would maybe make it good.

Holy shit lol, didn't expect this to happen in the end hahahahahaha

I retract my comment after having been bothered to actually read his battle report, i just read the title and assumed it was meant for funnies.
In fact i didnt realise who the blogger was, Azera has always been a bit of a douche.
It makes me look a fool for posting without reading but whatever, sorry TB, i was wrong ^^

this went from being "oh he played tb thats neat" to cool as hell in one post man

You mean tens to hundreds of thousands of people. Lol.
Love it how people feel the need to be so aggressive and hateful towards one of the most valuable contributors to the esports scene and just gaming in general. Stay classy internet.
Gratz Azera you got your 15 minutes of fame for more than just pretentious pseudo-philosophical blogs.

Everyone wanna piece o somma dat e-fame
|
Hahahaha. I hate TB. This just confirms that he's as big of douche as he seems like on every broadcast.
|
I would be mad too if i was a popular caster, someone calls me out as a total noob and it turns out to be true on top of that. :D
It wouldnt be so embarassing if you could take it with humor. A better reaction would be to just say how it is, "im a total noob at the game but im fun at casting. Whatever, i dont take myself too seriously"
Personally I wouldnt dare to cast, if i had no clue about the game, but you know, there are different kinds of casters for different people. So its all good.
|
Hahaha great fun blog, kinda expected the comments.
|
The title is pretty fucked up, but the blog its self was funny.
|
To be fair on TB, the blog does err on the edge of being funny and just being plain offensive.

Do you realize SC2 casting is only a very small fraction of what he does? Do you realize this man has put a lot of his own money into sponsoring tournaments, players (BlinG, CranK) and now a pro team as well? That he makes extremely well-put-together and informative content about the gaming scene, on a regular basis?
TB worked his ass off to get to where he is now and keeps working his ass off to maintain this position and further help the scene grow. I can definitely see where he's coming from, when egotistical fucking pricks who have probably been following esports for 1 or 2 years at most come here with a "holier than thou" "lol this guy is bad" attitude like they actually know shit or they are actually worth shit. Guess what? They're not.
Nobody says you have to enjoy his casting or content, but if you deny how much he's helped the scene grow and develop, you're a moron. There's really no way around that.
EDIT:
And I just gotta stress this again. I find it hilarious how most of these haters are very new to the esports scene, SC2 probably being their first esport. Guess what. StarCraft 2 does not constitute the epitome of competitive gaming.

How is your post connected to mine, sir?^^
Can you point out where i denied him anything except being a good player? Which is not a crucial necessity for a caster.
People get butthurt over nothing on the internet. :D
We have a saying in Germany: "Humor is if you laugh nevertheless"
That was the entire point of my post.

Gratz Azera you got your 15 minutes of fame for more than just pretentious pseudo-philosophical blogs.
Not all of his videos get the big numbers, his sc2 channel frequently has a few hundred views on a video, and I was no more aggressive and hateful than he was. If you guys didn't recognize that humor was the intent of the blog, that is not Azera's fault. And I reacted to tb like I would react to anyone else who made a post like that. As far as I am concerned tb is just another member of team liquid, and he made a post I found offensive. TB himself makes fun of his skill at sc2, he had a series called " I suck at starcraft" last time I watched his sc2 content, so I fail to see how he can find fault in someone else making a light hearted joke at his expense, as he does it himself. This wasn't Azera attacking total biscut, this was him using a piece of humor that tb uses, so I fail to see how tb got this offensive over a obvious joke.
And for the matter I fail to see why him being a celebrity means we have to treat him as some unapproachable demi god. He is just as human as anyone else, and that means if you have want people to not comment on his behavior and traits, than you my friend need to stay far away from the abl. TB is a human being who tends think that because he makes videos we have to excuse his occasional ventures into being a prickly codger, and I do not find celebrity to excuse such behavior. If azera had made this same blog about some random ladder game, and the random starcraft player came in and made the same post, if there was any result to it we would be having this discussion only about how he over reacted and missed that this was a attempt at humor, no matter how poorly you may find it executed.
And to TB himself, I fail to see how a live report of a game that you played in is a personal attack against you as a person unlike some of the other posts made on this forum which I truly hope you continue to be the bigger man and ignore.

Actually that is very much his fault. Just because someone declares certain intent behind a creation doesn't mean that will or should be the ultimate public interpretation.

1. Because he's not a total noob at the game. Being in platinum makes him better than half of the people playing the game, which includes a lot of the people who rag on him, even though they would have you believe they're all top 16 GM.
2. Not everyone can be in good spirits (humor as you put it) when they put in a massive amount of effort into what they're passionate about, which also contributes massively to the development of a community, only to be shit on by some nobodies on the internet who have nothing better to do with their life. You're right, humor would be a better reaction, but do you seriously not see where he's coming from?

OP is a 2 for the time and effort but the thread doubles the value. A 4. A rather weak 4, but a 4.

Gratz Azera you got your 15 minutes of fame for more than just pretentious pseudo-philosophical blogs. And for the matter I fail to see why him being a celebrity means we have to treat him as some unapproachable demi god. He is just as human as anyone else, and that means if you have want people to not comment on his behavior and traits, than you my friend need to stay far away from the abl. TB is a human being who tends think that because he makes videos we have to excuse his occasional ventures into being a prickly codger, and I do not find celebrity to excuse such behavior. If azera had made this same blog about some random ladder game, and the random starcraft player came in and made the same post, if there was any result to it we would be having this discussion only about how he over reacted and missed that this was a attempt at humor, no matter how poorly you may find it executed.
I didn't say he's unapproachable or necessarily a far superior person. He does deserve critique where applicable and it's definitely okay to disagree with him or his views etc.
But the fact of the matter remains that he has done a great deal for this scene (in terms of exposure and bringing in new players, sponsoring tournaments and players and now an actual pro-team as well) and for gaming in general. When someone is enjoying the fruit of a scene that TB helped build and maintain, don't you think it's a LITTLE bit hypocritical and assholish for that person, who is very much irrelevant and hasn't contributed anything valuable whatsoever, to make this big blog about how TB sucks? And don't give me that whole "it's supposed to be funny" spiel, if this kid was anywhere near as good a writer as his massive pseudo-intellectual ego makes him out to be, I'm sure fewer people would've interpreted it this way.

So anyone can say anything on the internet and they shouldn't be held accountable for it because it was just a joke right? You realize what ridiculous situations this can lead to, if people follow this notion of yours? Like I could just go around telling people I want to fuck babies and bomb schools, but it's okay, I'm just joking, it doesn't matter that you don't perceive it as a joke. Please, think some more before you post, if you can't get it across to people that you're joking/satirizing/whatever, you should at the very least be ready to accept some flak for it, if not reconsider your approach to the whole thing.

It wouldnt be so embarassing if you could take it with humor. A better reaction would be to just say how it is, "im a total noob at the game but im fun at casting. Whatever, i dont take myself too seriously"
Personally I wouldnt dare to cast, if i had no clue about the game, but you know, there are different kinds of casters for different people. So its all good. Do you realize SC2 casting is only a very small fraction of what he does? Do you realize this man has put a lot of his own money into sponsoring tournaments, players (BlinG, CranK) and now a pro team as well? That he makes extremely well-put-together and informative content about the gaming scene, on a regular basis? TB worked his ass off to get to where he is now and keeps working his ass off to maintain this position and further help the scene grow. I can definitely see where he's coming from, when egotistical fucking pricks who have probably been following esports for 1 or 2 years at most come here with a "holier than thou" "lol this guy is bad" attitude like they actually know shit or they are actually worth shit. Guess what? They're not. Nobody says you have to enjoy his casting or content, but if you deny how much he's helped the scene grow and develop, you're a moron. There's really no way around that. EDIT: And I just gotta stress this again. I find it hilarious how most of these haters are very new to the esports scene, SC2 probably being their first esport. Guess what. StarCraft 2 does not constitute the epitome of competitive gaming. How is your post connected to mine, sir?^^ Can you point out where i denied him anything except being a good player? Which is not a crucial necessity for a caster. People get butthurt over nothing on the internet. :D We have a saying in Germany: "Humor is if you laugh nevertheless" That was the entire point of my post. 1. Because he's not a total noob at the game. Being in platinum makes him better than half of the people playing the game, which includes a lot of the people who rag on him, even though they would have you believe they're all top 16 GM. 2. Not everyone can be in good spirits (humor as you put it) when they put in a massive amount of effort into what they're passionate about, which also contributes massively to the development of a community, only to be shit on by some nobodies on the internet who have nothing better to do with their life. You're right, humor would be a better reaction, but do you seriously not see where he's coming from?
Of course people can see where TB is coming from, and he's perfectly justified in asking for an apology since the OP offended him, but that doesn't mean we (well, the bystanders in general) have to think TB's not getting all worked up about something incredibly mild, esp. since TB's nowhere close to being a saint himself. He's definitely had his own jackass moments, and more often than not, doesn't apologize for them even when he offends people.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect something like this to happen. When you say you suck at SC2 all the time, at some point someone's going to stand up and say, "Yeah, you really do suck, lulz." Sure, it's in bad taste, but you open yourself up to that sort of criticism when you're public with your self-deprecation; some person out there will take that as permission to mock you, even if only in a lighthearted manner.

Wax was trolling you, he basically copypasted a response that TB gave earlier in this thread.

This thread is a solid 5/5 because TB continues to think that he's some kind of divine being and anything that insults him even in the most vaguest ways is a smear upon his royal dignity.

I do have respect for people that work really hard for what they love, doesn't mean I can't poke fun at the people I respect when they have clearly overreacted. Seriously, the op wasn't seriously malicious at all, if he was this would have been closed and he would have been banned. It was just a fun topic.

Not all of his videos get the big numbers, his sc2 channel frequently has a few hundred views on a video, and I was no more aggressive and hateful than he was. If you guys didn't recognize that humor was the intent of the blog, that is not Azera's fault. Actually that is very much his fault. Just because someone declares certain intent behind a creation doesn't mean that will or should be the ultimate public interpretation.
100% agree. To me the blog felt like the ultimate gloat fest, especially with the remarks regarding TB's mistakes in that game. I don't care whether the intention was jest, it all feels quite demeaning.

am I the only one who reads TB's posts with his voice in my head?

Grats on wasting your time with this You are the definition of a baby. You're obviously spending a fortune on tissues... how about you save instead and buy some thicker skin? It's the Internet baby, and you're famous. If you can't handle a little criticism (not even what this really is, just an amusing bit) then good luck in the future! "Last I checked there's a gigantic difference between ribbing my friend of 6 years and getting shit on by some random on a blog." Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhahhhahaahaahhhhhahhahhhahahhahhhahhahahah. Give me a second. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahhhahahhahahahhhahhahahahhahhhhhhhhahhhaaaaaaaaaaaa. Priceless, absolutely classic. For fucks sake, give the man some fucking respect. He puts tons of money and time into this game without even needing to (he makes more the enough off of other ventures). He has worked extremely hard to get where he is and doesn't deserve to be shit on when he loses a SC2 game or slightly over reacts to a blog. I do have respect for people that work really hard for what they love, doesn't mean I can't poke fun at the people I respect when they have clearly overreacted. Seriously, the op wasn't seriously malicious at all, if he was this would have been closed and he would have been banned. It was just a fun topic. TB is the one that had the choice to take it offensively or not. He just as easily could have just said "it was a good game! =)". Why would he. Here we have a little guy wanking off to himself because he won a terribad plat level game against a popular community figure who happens to play at his level. Big deal lol. I find TB's comment totally appropriate. Exactly. TB isn't even a pro player. This is fucking platinum for God's sake. That is about as low as you can get in this game and this guy is making a huge deal over beating a guy who clearly has too much other stuff going on to get better at the game. If i were a master of GM player beating a pro (isn) player such like Incontrol for instance and they were respectful about it then it would be a cool thing to post. This however is just pathetic.
I don't think it's making a huge deal over anything. When someone says, "I open standard 15 hatch because I saw JD do it once on stream," and, "I went ling-muta-bane 'cause NesTea had success with it," it's clearly tongue-in-cheek and poking fun at the entire idea of "doing what pro-players do even though you're in plat and your mechanics suck."

Its about the way he did it. As long as its respectful, I would agree with you. But this is pure mockery, poorly veiled by the pretense that its all in jest etc.
Imagine you're a popular caster with his hands full of casting work etc and just want to ladder a bit to relax, only to find random people posting funny blogs mocking your play on TL the next day. Theres always two sides of a coin, remember.

If the caster that I'm imagining my self to be is successful with one million subscribers I could not possibly care less what a random person online said about my level of play. You could wake me up every single morning by punching me in the face and I'd still be beyond happy in those shoes.

So you think being a popular caster with one million subscribers makes you some kind of superhuman immune to critique and other unpleasantries? I can guarantee you that if I punched you in the face every single morning youd be willing to delete your yt channel as long as i stopped.

Sorry but /facepalm. It's not about the INTENT, its about how it presents itself to the average reader that does not know what azera's actual intent at the time was.

He wouldn't have to delete anything to stop it since you would be in jail for assault.
