I feel like the beginning of your conversation with Murder is missing. I could be wrong.

you know I can't help but notice this entire blog is about being a positive person and being "professional" in doing so. Yet you unnecessarily specifically name a person in negative light and position yourself morally above them as you use them as an example of what you "used to be."

Pretty terribly ironic blog tbh. Remove the persons name if you truly wanna tell a story about some self-realization you have had. But like I have said, it would be superficial because in truth you are still the same person you just are doing it in a way you think looks better.

Be less concerned with life lessons you've achieved in your long 19 years of life and be more concerned with improving yourself minus the life lesson publicly broadcasted at the expense of someone else.

I think this is a good blog. I missed what you said before INcontrol posted, but that's not important. I think analyzing your own attitude is a very difficult thing to do, and it's good that you could do it. You're a great player and it's cool that you're trying to improve your image as well.

when i was growing up i was extremely competitive, and anybody that is such will tell that when you're that competitive you naturally get angry when things don't go your way.

I was and am very competitive, and I never 'naturally got angry when things didn't go my way.' I think that's a load of bullshit which is attempting to turn a personality fault into something positive. Not that I'm a perfect person, but seriously You don't have to be an angry nerd who's a dickhead to people when he loses to, to be competitive.

Some people blame their opponent for making them lose, but that's not a component in what makes a player successful. Wanting to figure out how to win the next game is. You can do that without hating your opponent. You can be intense without being a jackass.

Blur, you're a great player. But you can sometimes be BM bro... I agree with your point entirely. And its effective in every situation. Professionalism in any aspect is always something positive, and something people should strive for. After all, professionalism generally = money, and although money doesnt buy happiness, it makes life easier, which = more happy.

I just dont know whether you were the correct person to be posting such a thread, unless it was something like "Applying professionalism to a hobby market".

Dont get me wrong, I'm a BM gamer personally. If someone abuses an imbalance, I will make sure they know it But its all good humour to me, and I have no intention of being a professional gamer, I leave that to the people who are actually good like yourself. But bad manner does not belong in competitive sport, if you go through sporting history, you will see people getting fined, fired, even banned for it. Professionalism is the key

I don't mean to rain on the i'm going to be an awesome person parade, but after what you were doing last night in the VTG Open channel, i find it hard to believe that someone can 180 that hard after that, it's great that you want to be a professional and humble guy, but if that's the straight up truth, then it probably would've made more sense to do this a month from now or something along those lines

Your name is bLuR, and I haven't heard of you.

Aside from that obnoxious intro your post makes some good points and I wish for the attitude you write about to instill itself in every progamer because it DOES matter. (even Idra is alot less BM then he once was.)
