I always root for SKT and whoever is playing against WeMadeFox (I'm still bitter about MInd / Bisu MSL, hate Rock and find pure boring, and dislike all non-skt terrans). Poor Midas I always root against SKT1. | ||

StarCraft is a single player game. For me, it isn't about cheering for any one team - and it's not about cheering for a single player. I noticed this in your other article about bandwagoning as well, but you seem to make the assumption that people only like players/teams if they produce significant results. That is not what interest me in a player. For example, Fantasy is one of my favorite players even though he has hasn't won a league yet. I was a fan of Hyuk long before he started tearing it up. And antithetically, I became a fan of Savior long after he had fallen from grace. Why is this? Because these people captivated me with their play styles, histories and struggles. I don't give a damn if Savior never returns to his prime, he's still an intriguing character - both as a player and as an important figure on the StarCraft scene - and is thus worthy of my attention. Similarly, Stork is such an enthralling character not because of his gold, but because of his dedication and enduring proficiency in pursuit of it. Firebathero... Don't even get me started. Now, this thread... What's the point of it? Can't people just enjoy the experience that is StarCraft - matches, players, teams and all - in whatever way they so desire? There are many players I like, for many different reasons. Why should I dedicate myself to one single player/team, thereby putting all my pro-gamer eggs in one basket, as you say? What makes you think you know better? | ||

Seriously though, I have this innate thing that I root for the guy who's at a disadvantage, when I don't otherwise have a reason to root for one or the other. Not sure why. | ||

It's not a random decision, it's just something that kinda happens on its own after a while.But what, should i choose randomly 1 of 12 teams and cheer for them? I just can't force myself to like any team, when i like some players it's because i saw great games played by them, but i have no motivation to cheer for entire team cause i didn't see any kind of great performance by entire team at all. I can only judge their results which ain't enough for me to like any player/team :/ | ||

I usually cheer for the person most likely to win unless its FBH. Then I get depressed all the time. | ||

It's not for everyone. Not directed at the OP: I wish people would get it out of their heads that rooting in a certain way or for a certain team makes them "better" fans. There's no such thing as a "good" fan or a "bad" fan, only a fan who is or isn't annoying as hell in live report threads. | ||
