Actually MSL stands for MBCGame StarCraft League, not Star League.

Your goal doesn't make sense at all, no one is asking you to censor yourself but get some perspective of your own. Where is the crazy behaviour your talking about, no one is being crazy over JD in this thread. The last ZvZ Jaedong played was a good game vs Soulkey and he was on a 3 ZvZ winstreak and rush is a rookie. It's not fanboyism to expect Jaedong to make it out of this group.

You already prefaced this as a "campaign against overrated players that aren't stork", so tell me, if the same comments are made against stork by a person with a similar tone to yours, what would you say?

Umm, did you miss the people saying that game 1 was evidence that BW was in the toilet? Bringing up SC2 yet again in BW LR threads?
Even though Rush played half-decently (at least) and basically they were just whining that Jaedong lost.

That to me is far more appalling behaviour than saying "hey that guy you like kinda sux when you think about it, actually".

Don't forget the people calling for me to be permabanned for saying JD has not much of a personality, I would class that as "being crazy over JD" too. Especially because people have said that about Flash, and about TONS of less likable B-teamers and such.


I would calmly explain to them how wrong they are, and the reasons why Stork is the player who deserves all of our love, possibly behind FBH.

Indeed, this has happened. There has been anti-Stork backlash when he got bigger and he started to get more results-based fans. There were whole legions of people whining about how much they hated "SONG BYUNG GOO" chanting.

If you haven't read my blog post on Brood War fanboys, you should. I'd dare to say if you can look past personal biases about favourite players, I'm pretty good-humoured about this.

Read your blog, nothing really incisive or new. And to be honest, there are no genuine fanboys outside TBLS. All the rest just cruise. Name me on Hydra or Effort fan that can rival Kiett for Bisu or all the KT/Flash fans?

It's not trying to be incisive, it's humour! And of course it's not new, it was written, what, two years ago?

Also, that's my point, people should be more light-hearted about this, and it's the craziness (that and their refusal to analyse games analytically) of some fans that I rebel against. The craziest people indeed tend to be fans of TBLS members, because they get the best results these days.

If we were watching a sporting game together, I'd be the guy with a drink in his hand and likely trash-talking, but smiling the whole time.

These people are more the sort that would punch you in the face when their team loses. (No, not Kiett, that's not even a good example of the true crazy that lurks in TL LR threads!)
