This kind of annoys me. I don't know what your intentions were with this post, but here's a little rant:
In the world of fighting games, if you beat someone in casuals, it doesn't mean a thing. It has to be a tournament game to have credit behind it.
The same should be applied to StarCraft. I know I personally fuck around in most of my casual games, so I'm sure people better than me do the the same. I would never tell someone "I wasn't trying", but honestly, a lot of times I'm not trying, or I have my legs up, or I'm having a conversation with someone else, or I'm trying a new build, etc. So if you beat someone in a casual match, that means pretty much nothing.
If you beat them in a showmatch, or a tournament, or a league game, then that has a lot more meaning behind it. Of course they still might not care, because often there is nothing on the line for winning except a little bit of pride (whereas in most fighting game tournaments there is money on the line).
So yea, if you beat Slog4 in USEast, whoopie! If you beat him in the WGT 16-man finals tournament, then you can talk. If you beat him in WCG USA qualifiers, then you can talk more.
Oh yea I think he's pretty good. Second tier USA player I think.

Uhh not really. Someone I played with told me that Slog was one of the best P in the east so I was sort of confused.
Why are you making assumptions? People like you will ALWAYS continue to piss me off.
P.S: Guys sorry for making this post..I was really just curious, that's all :/
