Well i do support esports but i just dont like SC2. Although i love all the bad news about sc2 coming up these days iam still sad about the players themself.

What is wrong with you?


If he doesn't like SC2, it's not an unreasonable thing to say. As for not liking SC2 in the first place - not an unreasonable position either.


Sorry, that's a pretty unreasonable thing to say. He could have left it at "I just don't like sc2". You don't talk about loving the bad news about something that other people love, that's disgusting.

I came here to read the interview and learn a bit more about a BW pro that I didn't know much about, and this is what I come in to? Not only BW fans shitting on the game I prefer, but shitting on it in a way that is pretty outrageous and being defended? Maybe we'll never be one community after all.

Dragons to extinction in sc2, sad that Free was enjoying the game and forced to retire. He can go back to BW, the scene is getting good. Btw tomorrow we will have SKT vs MBC in sonic PL.

Pretty sure it's the other way round when bw players were retiring to play sc2 and it put a lot of us(maybe people like me ) feeling very unhappy about it . Regardless I disagree about how you encounter a few people who may have a disagreement in what they enjoy put a stop in the chance of coexisting of two different community. Also I am sure this is a matter of you putting a blanket statement on the whole bw community being "sc2 haters" sure I don't like sc2 but that doesn't mean you can come to a conclusion we are all like that.

Agreed, a good number here don't like SC2 as a game, but we support our heroes with whatever they do and while some people here might make offensive statements, you surely can't classify an entire community from a handful
