Just think about it, Nestea vs sC semi final game, MMA vs DRG final. Those were from the greatest era and nothing has come up recently that can even be compared to those games. Theres just no style, no surprises and rivalry to speak off that excites you. Everyday, its just random korean wins or even worse, random korean with great defensive play(Boring)(Rain) wins. I mean the stream numbers and games played does not lie. SEA server is pretty much dead and US server doesnt seem to be as active as before, at least not in the Masters+ bracket which i play in. So no, its a good blog, but your being way too optimistic. | ||

You obviously didn't watch Polts games at IEM last weekend. Quite a bit better than Nestea vs Sc for sure. And for the record...Marine King and Parting at the team league finals and Marine King's multiple battles with DRG where better than either of the things you mentioned as well. You are either trolling or not even watching and just making stuff up. | ||

I have been saying this for a while now. SC2 is awesome. Anyone who watched ANY of IEM Cologne this weekend will know that. Finals was totally bonkers. | ||

Are there people that do like SC2 in its current form? Yes, absolutely. More power to them. They will get to enjoy it. But think of all the disgruntled voices you don't hear: namely, everyone that wanted to love SC2, didn't, and have now given up on it. I for one rarely post in SC2 threads anymore because I've mostly stopped following it. My point is, I think the whining (because I admit it is whining) is still somewhat valid. Some people, like myself, really hope blizzard makes major changes to the game. It took me a while to realize they weren't/aren't going to, so I recently stopped posting (for the most part), but I think many of the whiners are well-intentioned people who still hold out hope. I guess it is unfortunate for people that do like SC2 to have to deal with the constant whining (sorry guys), but people are entitled to their opinions, and I think it is very understandable for fans to want change in SC2. Anyway, again it's just my opinion. | ||

I have a few questions if you care to answer (and completely understand if not): What do you consider your fighting style (if you have one yet)? Stand and trade or look to get the fight to the floor? What stakes do you play? Again thanks for sharing all this stuff, and good luck in your endeavors! | ||

I noticed in this read you mentioned that the only map you don't really care for is Habitation Station. I was wondering what your opinion on that map is and why it's the only one out of the pool that you prefer not to play on. Is it the golds? The close air distances? Just wondering! I neeeeed the feedback!!!!!  | ||

Players want to win, not be flashy. Builds are more solid now, competition is stronger and you cannot afford to just do whatever to win. Starcraft was always like chess, and now it's even more so, build orders and execution will win games rather than 50 banelings rolling that will make people cheer. Watch football. Brazillian players would do amazing stuff, but everyone else is playing solid rather that amazing. Formula 1, UFC, you name it. Everything is exciting at first, mainly because it's full of mistakes and danger, which makes them exciting to watch. I remember UFC 1 through 50 and I see UFC now. Everyone is doing BJJ now. | ||

I have a suspicion that JD might have been showing off in one or two of his games, but I could be wrong | ||

People are negative because there's a void where a better game could be, and many don't want to settle for mobas or SC2 as it is. | ||

As someone who follows MMA closely, plays/follows SC2, and has played poker for supplemental income for years, learning this stuff about you has made me a fan for life. I'll be rooting for you in your first fight, good luck! I have a few questions if you care to answer (and completely understand if not): What do you consider your fighting style (if you have one yet)? Stand and trade or look to get the fight to the floor? What stakes do you play? Again thanks for sharing all this stuff, and good luck in your endeavors! I wouldnt say I have a style exactly... but individual component wise: im pretty good on the ground both off my back and on top, my striking is a bit lacking when it comes to stringing together combinations but ive got a decent jab and good reach.My double legs are pretty bad (just cant seem to get the timing right when sparring) and I generally prefer clinch takedowns or trips. My by far strongest attribute is my cardio, I'm basically an energizer bunny. | ||
