*Note- I'm not sure if this is the right section, change if needed
Hello, some of you may know me, most may not- I am Alex aka Jedigamer/Syndicate. I'm not famous for tourneys, I've never won anything big, in fact I tend to choke anytime I reach a finals. I'm just a regular above average T/P GM player who practices on NA/Europe. I'd like to make 2 things clear before you read any further, if you choose not to read this statement.
1) I have a hot-head and have acted like an huge jerk
2) Although I am flawed -I truly am not a real bad person IRL, and love contributing and helping people out
Basically since I was younger through now I've had a huge reputation for for being a very bad mannered player. Rightfully so, as I have a terrible temper and when it tends to strike I lose all respect and just rage. I've been a total ass to countless people, and a really nice mentor to a lot of others. Again, rightfully so- I am obviously more known for playing the total asshole card. Nowadays sometimes I find myself BMing regularly, and just to get myself into the game (If I BM I have more of a reason to win, really immature), or just because people expect no different from me.
I'd like to apologize to everyone from TL.net , Bnet, Tourneys, etc that I have bad mannered. If I bad mannered you first, its almost a guarantee you didn't deserve it. It is clear that just by making an apology things are not right . I am okay with that, and willing to work hard to try to change it. I don't expect everyone to be okay with me or welcome me in any way, again I've been such a jerk.
My actions and reputation have cost me a lot of things- and as I am maturing (sadly still) I realize I've taken the wrong road can't keep walking it. It cost me partially a lot of my students and coaching potential on larger sites, it indirectly cost me a very loyal stream that supported me despite using some cheeses and playing long drawn out macro games on ladder. (I rarely cheese anymore, unless im exhausted but can't stop playing). I ended up losing my stream due to a bit of false slandering that banked on my terrible reputation, although it is not the time or place to discuss as the time has passed.
For a while I was helping a lot of people out, mostly for free, to get practice coaching. I quickly found out that I love teaching SC2 and how to make gains and break down the game for oneself (like teaching how to READ replays, not just watching them). It was never about the money with my coaching, I actually found myself giving people extra hours and such because I liked watching people improve at a new game that was so rewarding, and knowing that I helped them get there .
Anyhow, this isn't about my love of the game or my coaching or stream, it is about me making changes as a person permanently . It won't be easy, but I'm going to make them, 100%.
Here is the first couple changes I am going to make, that the community can hold me accountable to :
1) I am going to help by posting informed information in the strategy section. I have a lot to offer new and older players, as I play the game, coach it, and study it. I currently understand the game a little better than I can play it.
2) The bad manner on ladders/bnets is over. I am no longer going to make my problem my opponents, because it isn't his fault I can't focus, or my stream is lagging, or my internet is crap. I will either GG and leave or leave. This means as of Sunday afternoon, its done, gone, zip, zero.
3) I am going to post a couple guides to builds I am using on ladder, to help players who are bored of using bio vs Z and P, but don''t want to commit to a passive style.
It won't be easy, but hopefully by making this post it will be the extra thing that tilts me onto the new leaf. I truly like helping people out, and don't want to be "That jerk" when that isn't who I actually am.

This is... surprisingly awesome.

I have heard this a lot from friends and people who have come in and out of my team over the years. Unfortunately it usually doesn't last very long, as some one like this usually unsuccessful in changing their ways. That being said it's always great to see some one stepping up and admitting they've messed up, I hope you keep up with it.

Gj jedI, not a fan of terran players but all gm's have my respect, gl with the self improvement. Bm is for half-wits and teens in my mind.

In most cases, it's an underlying issue of coping or tolerance.

You do indeed have quite a reputation for being an asshole... but if you really do change your ways and just focus on improving I believe people can quickly forget about the past. Keep it up and make people remember you for how good of a player you are, not for what fucked up thing you said to them.
|
I hope you come back to TL streams. Yours was one of the more entertaining ones.
I usually only lurk here but I decided to register just to be able to write this.
|
since most people deserve a second chance, you shall have one. good luck, see you on the other side!
|
Awesome to hear, hope to see your stream back on TL someday soon, was always one of my favorites...gl turning a new leaf man, cant wait to see these strategy posts :-p
|
Just don't type in chat. You know when you rage it just makes people feel that much better about themselves.
|
Good choice. Good luck.
|
Jedi has given many people from our team (including myself) lessons and is a phenomenal teacher. Really has the ability to explain in depth strategies and game knowledge well. We personally have never really experienced his BM, but I have definitely heard about it. I know that he deserves a second chance and am glad the community has been so open to this so far!
|
I personally think this is a really good step for Jedi. :D Keep it up jedigamer we supporting you.
|
It got tough today, as everyone was intense on the ladder but I managed to not say anything at all in rage. Back to pushups ><.
|
I support you Jedigamer, really enjoyed your stream and I hope you can get the stream back up on TL. =)

Hihi
Anyone trying to reform their BM is a boss in my book.
|
Nice post. Hope you get it all sorted out
|
It's neat that you're apologizing and I really really really hope you stick with trying to be better mannered. But reading some of the things you've said in the past I'm not sure how long this will last.
|
Yeah I doubt ill last much longer. I keep getting disconnected from bnet and losing pts and getting really frustratred about gm. Then I cheese and lose cuz i can't focus and i press pause and leave. at least im not insulting them i guess

My faith in your cause shines with the bright hot intensity of a thousands suns. Good Luck Jedigammerrrrrrrrrr

May the force be with you!
No seriously, good job.
Not many people will do this.
But now that you did, I will support you.
Yoda would be proud.

So are you finally going to admit you were a little d-bag for the months you spammed our (elevengaming) clan channel and streams? Seriously you made your free time when on SC2 to do anything possible to disrupt elevengaming. A little fucking battle.net gaming team, and you cared so fucking much. That's not even immaturity. SixjaxMajor is immature. You're psycho man.
Good luck with the change.
|
|
|
Quite glad from this change. You blatantly bmd me multiple times on ladder. I didn't even say anything besides GG. Didn't cheese. Honestly... I'm glad to see you manner up.
|
@Nizzy I never 'spammed' the channel until Warden trolled my stream passive aggressively for days on end while still in recruitment process Keep in mind this was before I went into the channel to talk some trash ;p - and I found out that although management had said Warden was neutral, they acted super surprised when I mentioned his bias towards me. I even made an apology to him on bnet and he pretended to accept it, silly me again. They then asked for screenshots which they then denied were true so it was a bit of a circle problem. The professional thing to do would be say "your decent but we don't want you on the team". Warden kept coming on my stream asking stuff like how many scvs I send with my allins (my average game length is like 25 minutes now?). Really tasteless stuff. In retrospect as soon as he bad mannered me on my own stream I should've told the leaders I'm not interested. So I gained some perspective there.
I might be a jerk at times, but definitely didn't deserve to have my time wasted like that. Extremely unprofessional imo, out of all the teams definitely the least.
Also while I was "in progress" of joining elevengaming that one terran guy who sends scvs- guess hes not on the roster anymore, forget his name because he disappeared recently even said "your not getting in nerd" or something like that. The only player who gave me the time of day was Slurgi and then the leaders told him not to talk to me at all.
So this new leaf is totally unrelated to that. It is about changing me being a jerk to people who did nothing to me.
Whens the last time I was in elevengaming -that was months ago, yet you bring it up every time I make a post even on unrelated stuff.
If your on the high horse, how come you keep kicking gravel. Let it go.

I've been streaming and casting some professional level replays.
Check out this cast of Nada vs Haypro and Huk vs Jimpo (great game on shakuras).
http://www.twitch.tv/starcrafttutor/b/292520563
I'm trying to help more people out, I figure good things will come my way eventually. Been being pretty manner on ladder keeping to myself. Hopefully eventually I can stream back on teamliquid because I have a lot of knowledge and I like to help new players out.
edit: I'm using a higher video quality now, expect more great things soon.
|
Great to hear Jedi!
I've gotten several lessons from this individual and really hope to see his stream posted back up on TL. It was the only stream I watched on a daily basis and was entertaining as well as educational and took me from Silver league all the way to Plat.
Here's hoping!
Gl and Hf!
|
I agree with Vexas i was bronze and now im platinium and i still increase my play because of the lesson of jedigamer.I would like his stream to be back on teamliquid because before was the stream i watched the most,
|
Funny the things you would see on this forum late at night when you're bored. While I'm no one in this community, I can speak from a bit of experience. I used to watch Jedi's stream way back in season 1. I was a little apprehensive to get lessons from him. Even though he was a good player, he raged hardcore. But whatever, I got a couple of lessons from him. They were generally really good experiences aside from one thing that happened. My best friend volunteered to zvt against Jedi so that I could watch third person specifics to a build. My buddy played pretty standard and Jedi started to rage as if my buddy was stream cheating (which he would never do). Kinda off putting, but whatever.
He helped me get from diamond to masters in season 1 which I was pretty happy about. Then one day as a fan of him and his stream I watched him play a custom and saw some really cool blink micro that I was impressed with. I then proceeded to compliment him on it and then I got raged on. Not just a little bit of rage but extremely insulting childish rage. As I proceeded to apologize if I had been misinterpreted I then got more belligerent snide prick comments that turned me off so badly I never watched his stream or paid for lessons again. I really liked the dude up until that point.
Hope actually changes and others have better experiences with him than I did. In the end, he's still a good player. Just not a very nice dude.

So you start this off by telling Destiny that you hope his kid dies? YOU ARE A JOKE, GET OUT.
|
FYI, Jedigamer/Syndicate just received a temporary ban on Twitch.tv for making threats against Destiny's child on his stream. Turning a new leaf indeed.
|
how's that turning a new leaf going?
|
There were a lot of people who witnessed you saying very hurtful things to ROOTDestiny on September 5th, around 11:30 PM. IIRC you said his wife was ugly, fat, and that you hoped his child would die. Comments?
|
Haha, what's wrong with this guy. First you unpause the game, then you do some cheesy banshee stuff and trashtalk his family.
|
I wasn't aware telling someone's child to die was part of the path onto redemption? People like you make me lose hope for humanity.
|
Way to fix your reputation: badmouth one of the most beloved streamers on TL, call his wife fat and ugly, and say you hope his child dies?
Just about as smart as your rap.
|
Dude you are losing it. Idk if you should see some sort of therapist of something but you have some problems you need to work out.
|
Apparently he hasn't changed at all. A recent post on sc2armory.com (Aug. 26th) with him BMing another coach. The language used in game is awful, about the same as was used on Destiny tonight.
Source: http://sc2armory.com/forums/topic/22830/page:1
Turning over a new leaf? I wouldn't get coaching from him.
|
Seek professional psychological assistance mr. jedi. You seem to at least have the intelligence to know you're not doing very well, personality wise, in stark contrast to a lot of other trolls and assholes in the community. Wishing death upon your opponents children is so far beyond normal "raging" and way over the limit of what is acceptable. So just do it, it's no shame getting help!
|
GG, don't ever step into this place again and also please sort out your life. thx.
|
Wow so pathetic, he makes this post attempting to apolagise yet it only takes him a month before he is threatening people's familys and the like. you disgust me..
|
So you create an apology and then threaten other people's life within a month of such said "apology"
You can go fuck yourself.
|
Wow, I when I saw the OP I thought "Oh right, Jedigamer, that guy who's always a passive aggresive douche on TL and threatens to slit peoples family's throats in games, maybe he's going to fix himself up?"
I was hopeful, and he seemed like a nice guy in the OP, but REALLY? Apparently he's just as bad as he used to be now -_- What the hell is wrong with him? I don't know, I don't think anybody BM's this aggressively at a high level. Kind of further reinforces the "stereotype" that NA players are kind of BM, it sucks that sometimes a whole community has to suffer because douchebags like Jedi get attention TT;;
wait wait wait wait wait, all of the above was posted BEFORE reading what he said to Nineteen...
Wow. G T F O is all I can say. You can claim you're gonna stop being an ass as much as you want to but when you keep being a total fucking dick to people online like that you really don't belong anywhere in this community -_-;
|
lol this guys so funny.
he does the dumbest builds in history and when he loses he just rages at you.
|
I love how people don't change.
|
Sir, all the best to you in attempting to change your ways. One of the hardest things in the world can be to examine yourself and admit there are flaws in your (personality's) makeup. I admire you greatly for this, and wish you all the best in the future.
It seems though, that you have regressed since your original post. I, and many others on this site I'm sure, understand how difficult it can be to control one's temper. All I can ask, is keep trying. Often when you rage at something irrationally (which raging at strangers over the internet often is an example of), it can be a result of something else going wrong in your life. That's all the help I can offer, as I'm not much of a psychologist/counsellor/therapist, so again, all the best to you, and I hope to see you on the other side of dealing with your issues ^^v.
|
I'd say this guy has a lot of mental problems backing all this crap up... He reminds me of how mentally sick CombatEX is.
|
I thought about this thread when I saw the new stuff pop up, definitely saw this being bumped lol. What a joke sir
|
jedigamer, you are a terrible person. i feel sorry for you.

CombatEX is only BM in game and skype, if you've watched his youtube channel or actually chatted with him you'd know he's not mentally sick, he just enjoys BMing people in game.
Jedi however, is living off of being a bully.
|
A shame you couldn't keep with your word.
Im a temperamental person myself but you take it too far. Wishing death to someones family its a serious matter, maybe you should visit a doctor regarding this issue cause its gonna end up messing your life, and IRL people wont stand for stuff like that. just saying.
|
Well in my defense I heard he taunted Deezers dying grandfather or uncle , someone who is actually dying. He also bragged about how famous he was in the game so meh, what goes around comes around in there.
I thought he should taste how it feels for someone to wish death upon your loved one- cuz he did it to Deezer (who i don't like). Bandwagon goes crazy- and yes I've definitely had quite a few hiccups but I've been decently manner to a lot of people in situations I would have raged or when players BM me (like Sterling).
|
Holy shit Combatex.... **cough cough** JediGamer...
Seriously, another guy who finally realized they could actually make money posting youtube videos and streaming.
This whole thread is a joke, and just a weak attempt to get viewers, after being such an ass for so long.
Seriously, people like you are amazingly hilarious.
You be a selfish prick, thinking you wont ever want anything from anyone, and then when all your BM catches up with you, you realize you dont wanna be known as just another asshole on the internet.
GL with that, but after seeing you nonstop BM and do all of the shit you fake apologized for, people like you disgust me.
GL trying to cash in on SC2 tho.

I'm sorry, but theres no real excuse for wishing death upon someone's family. "But- but he started it!" is no good reason either. You've done it before too, and it's got out in public.
From the chat logs, it seems he was being perfectly mannered, so going off on him unprovoked because he apparently wished death upon someone some other time (to someone you don't even like) seems invalid.
And even if you somehow do justify being a total ass to someone unprovoked, you're supposed to be "turning a new leaf" and shouldn't do that either.
Also, "what goes around comes around" doesn't quite apply when you attacked him on several different points, AND you wished death upon his family.
If he bragged for no reason, then tap f11 and ignore him, he's being a dick.
|
Actually, Destiny is probably the one person who would deserve BM from me, he ruined my old stream purely because I beat him a few times and trashtalked back to him. Most people don't need a chat log from 1 game to know what Destiny's 'political' power has done to me overall . I cannot fight vs 7000 Destiny fans and win. People were even saying I "maphacked and streamsniped him" when I was just streaming games for my measley 10-20 viewers.
Can some MOD lock this thread. I recently beat Destiny a couple times again in 1 sided games and the trolls are back again for the third time. He even linked this thread on reddit and his stream so that explains the influx of messages.
Think about this.. please. Destiny is full of double standards. He can laugh at Deezers dying uncle, who is actually dying, I say I hope his child dies and its a TERRIBLE THING. Destiny can DDOS my stream using viewers and spams, but if a guy DDOS'es him "It crosses the line of professionalism and hes taking him to court".
edit: Make money off of what? I'm not on youtube and don't have a stream. I just want to start improving at raging on ladder. I'm actually a nice guy out of ladder, ask anyone I coach :s.

"well he was mean so its ok for me to be mean for him!"
grow up, you're acting like a two year old and a mental patient.
Just stop posting because you're making yourself look even more stupid the more you talk.
|
Wow honestly just get out of here. You're whole "I'm turning a new leaf! Look at me!" thread was a waste of time and I feel bad for anyone who actually believed you. You will never change. You're just a lowlife who wished death upon someones CHILD, and tried using BS excuses like "Well he did it first!" to justify it.
Please grow up and GTFO, ad drooL has said.
