CJ had my favourite players from each race on the team last season... Kwanro, Movie and Iris

My favourites have sort of changed though now, but as a whole I still love CJ <3

I understand what you mean but it´s hard, because
1. I love oldies, all of them. Can´t unlove them.
2. Skt T1 has Bisu,Best and fantasy whose style I just don´t like and they get to play all the time
3. If I choose ACE it wont be the same team for long, otherwise I would be an avid ACE fan.

But I guess my love for e-sports can handle this even though I would like to be a fan of just one team.

Oh what the hell just f it, I guess I´ll be a wemade fan, they still got Midas and Nada right?

GO WEMADE! Is there any other wemade fans here? I think I should now go and check their roster just so I know who I can call next bonjwa

Then choose STX for July, MBC for Pusan or Wemade for Nada/Midas. Easy.

And why Poor Midas? He is getting so much more play in Wemade!

Don't be a fan. Be a hater.

It's so much more rewarding. Every player eventually slumps. It's just of matter of time and patience. Be a hater and you will inevitably get the last laugh. And until that happens you can always find something else to laugh at. Like their face.

Look at FBH. I hated him from the start. He was pretty solid at first but that wasn't an issue at all - I simply ignored his TvT and TvZ games but kept watching every single attempt at TvP. He also rewarded me beyond any expectation by getting eliminated over and over from every individual league.

But still, that wasn't enough. It was clear that he could still dig much, much deeper.
All I had to do was to wait.

I waited.

As of today November 6th 2009, Firebathero boasts an impressive #85 ELO rank, with a high probablility of reaching the three digits soon thanks to his reliable 37.88% PvT winrate. His other matchups have catched up as well, granting him an ongoing 4-game losing streak that will soon bring him below 50% winrate overall (he's sitting at 109W-104L at the moment). Another team might have halted the process by not sending him out anymore, but this will not happen since said team is currently ranked 12th among the 12 pro-game teams.

Let me assure you that I enjoy Starcraft immensely more than any of you ever will.

Stars fan ever since I saw their first Proleague match as the Woongjin Stars. I agree with pretty much everything Hot_Bid says. Once I started following the Stars more closely, watching SC became so much more enjoyable.

Sure I still like other players and teams (Oz and WeMade), but the Stars still hold a special place in my heart :3

I became a fan of Hwaseung at first because of Jaedong, but now I've grown attached to the rest of the teams players. Other teams don't generate the same excitement I get from watching a Hwaseung match. It's way more enjoyable then watching any of the teams with huge fan bases (SKT, CJ).

I went with ACE for a long time - i'm not really sure why, though. ACE is by design filled with cool players and I always enjoy watching them play, but STX has always been the team that's interested me the most. The entire design of their team is just really solid, and they have easily the most badass sponsor of them all. I just like the concept of a team without a "true" ace at the top of the standings.

to the guy who said its impossible to cheer for a team and its the individuals who make the team, if effort, skyhigh, and movie moved to different teams tomorrow, i'd still cheer CJ. i mean that 100%. i would still want them to do well, but i wouldn't follow them as closely and i would cheer for Hydra or Snow if they played against them.

if someone came up to me and was like GOOO CJ!!! EFFORT IS AWESOME!!! i'd high five him, but didn't know who Savior is, or that Much preceded Movie, or that Skyhigh's best matchup is TvT, then i wouldn't really feel much camaraderie with him.

i know SC is less of a team sport but the values of being a fan still apply. its like saying oh i'm a kobe, lebron, wade, carmelo, and dwight howard fan! and people will look at you and be like this guy has no real attachment to any of these guys. what's the point of that? oh, i'm a flash, bisu, jaedong, fantasy, and calm fan! go everyone thats good! you're allowed to appreciate players being good without being "fans" of them in the sense that you always cheer for them to do well. i like watching those guys too, but if they ever went up against a no-name CJ player, i'd root for the CJ guy all the time.

if you're going to just cheer for whoever is best in that race at that time, why not take it a step further and just cheer for the winner of each VOD, or whoever wins their games in the PL playoffs. the entire experience of a fan is to be loyal, suffer through hardship, and then feel like you are a part of a teams success because you are more invested than someone that just likes whoever wins at the moment and switches teams the instant things go bad.

I was into KTF before they started to suck, then I moved to CJ and then now I'm with wemade. I think I'm going to stick it with wemade though.

I totally agree. I also think Pro league makes the most sense for a starleague because it gives more points for a company to sponsor a team. I am stuck however, because I have a favourite player in each team O_O

I fully support this OP. It's so much more fun to root for an entire team of players (even in individual leagues) than it is to pick and choose individual pros.

What's frustrating to me is when people say they are a fan of a certain team, and then root against that team's players in individual leagues. Show some allegiance!

Agree, in most cases. But say if Hery played vs NaDa or July in a ODT decider, no way I'd root for Hery just because he was in KTF.

Flash fan first, KT fan second.

Switched my icon to Oz for a month or so when Oz was set to fight against SKT1 to show support against my least-favorite team, but now that a new season is here it's all KT again.

But I'm a Flash fan before a KT fan. I'd rather have KT win 3-2 with Flash winning his game and the ace, than have KT win 3-0 without Flash getting to play in the 4th set.

I have truly begun to appreciate cheering against Bisu and Fantasy whenever they play. If they win, it's no big deal because it was expected, but if they lose, I get a big banana grin, especially if it's against someone they really shouldn't lose to.
