Yes, good friend, bringing your personal problems in the team to the media as a professional athlete or making a blogpost about it as a pro-gamer is generally considered unprofessional and just like you shouldn't say bad things about others behind their backs, you especially shouldn't do what Fluff did without talking to your teammates.
And please refrain from double or tripleposting without reason, you can just use the edit button at the top right of your posts.

M8, taboos like this usually exist for a reason.

I think you are a smart guy with a strong emotional intelligence, Fluff. But if you want to lead, you would want to befriend your mates, want to care for them, want to make them succeed. If this infectuates the ambiance of the team, then you have a team, that can compete. Winning is a mindset. So is teamwork. They do require action, not backseat steering. A team needs a heart and an engine.

I hope you aren't anxious about leading, Fluff. Or even failing. Always just do the best you can, and you will never disappoint completely.

I had no intention of offending you here, but your response reads like I definitely did in some way. I'm well aware that this is "generally considered unprofessional" but what I'm doing is questioning that. I believe that what makes things like this be considered unprofessional is most people do and think things they shouldn't. And so to stay professional you should hide these things because "we don't want the public to find out about these things or they might think ill of us." Maybe if you don't want the public to know about something that's happening then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. I believe that professionalism SHOULD come from being completely open and honest with the public and they should love you for it because you are real and not trying to hide anything. I'm well aware that this isn't the "General Consensus" but the past has shown that the general consensus of many things are just plain wrong and the only way to change that is growth. Taboos like this definitely do exist for a reason, and in my opinion that reason is wrong.

In 1915 it was "generally considered" wrong for women to vote. Scholars such as yourself at the time would sit around telling people what is, while others were working to make the community actually grow out of silly general considerations.

Hey look, I used the edit button. You're welcome.

Poltical is a shallow way of communication that doesn't convey or take into account emotion. It's useless to try and argue what Fluff should do on a political level when clearly he's writing from an emotional point of view. Hence political bullshit.

Fluff is probably going to make more progress with his possibly offensive rant than in the entirety of 2013 being political.

I like how he talks about Fire/Col like it was a good team that achieved anything, they had a winning streak when they came to the scene because no one knew how to play against them (happens with every team that enters the scene IE: potm botm, AL, etc), never won a lan, or a any big tournament, couldnt even place top8 at TI2, stop deluding yourself into thinking Col was some kind of super memorable team that played amazing dota.
