All of you who are citing other sports for your case for booing players need to recognize that SC2 is primarily a 1v1 / solo game. Just like many other games and sports that are primarily solo (Golf, tennis, poker, etc) it is almost unheard of to boo anybody. Team games have a very different aspect, especially when that team is representing a city.

Yeah lets compare esports crowds to golf, tennis and poker crowds... Seriously you are comparing rich white man games to esports? An esports crowd is much closer to a football crowd than a golf one.


Poker is a 'rich white man' game? It's not about the makeup of the crowd, it's about the style of competition and the home town team effect. Many people watch team sports solely because they root for their hometown team. Many people watch Starcraft because they love the game no matter who is playing.

the rich white man game is more about golf and tennis. Many people also watch certain players because they are their favorite players or because they play on their favorite team. They have an emotional connection to the players and teams. Its called being a fan. Some are fans of the game, others have more specific views and there is nothing wrong with that.

I am really hoping for a possible EG Korea house or EG partnership with Slayers, so Idra can go back to Korea and be great again.

It's not a fact and you're acting like a child if that's how you'd really behave.



How am I acting like a child? Have you never booed your rivals team before? Why is it that in SC, everything has to be so well mannered? It's and e-SPORT. SPORT


Don't have to be mannered. Just don't be a fuckin dick. Never have I gone to a live sporting event (3 in my lifetime) and heard booing ever even from the hardcore fat drunks who paint the logos on their hairy stomaches. And in this case, you aren't booing a TEAM you are booing an individual, a real person, one.

Are you serious? I hear people boo even their own teams/players all the time.

I'd like to think that StarCraft crowds are more civilised than Football crowds. Seeing Cruncher getting booed was so painful, it hurt even more when Idra denied the handshake twice...


It sucks, but yeah, even home teams boo a terrible performance from a starting pitcher sometimes. It is the nature of sports and it happens, at long as there is a reason. What I hate it someone booing someone else just because "they don't like him".



MY POINT EXACTLY! That last part summed up what I tried to say. If you don't like him, or his decision. Move along. I have heard boo's because of bad calls or poor sportsmanship such as a glove being thrown at another player to incite an outburst, but those are completely different situations. And whoever brought up HOckey.... REALLY? The sport isn't about the overcooked biscuit, it's about the fights and the complete bad mannerism. So don't try to compare the two.

Dude, I and along with 110,000 other people boo'd the shit outta every damn team that walked into Beaver Stadium to play against Penn State. Why? Because when they are going out there against my team, I fucking hate them. Seriously man, you just don't understand sports.


Then grow up. Not supporting another state/college/cities team is one thing, but to attack ONE individual is completely wrong. YOu are comparing a full 11-30 player team (whatever the roster may be) to a single person who is sponsored BY a team. Two totally different things. And sports aren't all about hating the other team you ingorant tard. It's about the competition, training to beat other teams. Not fans hating fans of the opposition. Such a skewed hipster view on the world you have.


Fucking insane that you would say the average sports fans' view is "hipster" when you're the one pretending it's immature to do something that is done in almost every single sports stadium on a regular basis.


You are missing the point. Notice the emphasis I make on the difference between booing a team and what they stand for and an individual. Again, two different things. Hating the red sox is cool, because that's a team that doesn't share your origin if youre a yankees fan. But to hate a specific individual because of his career choice? and attack him on a personal level? Completely immature, some good points have been made that you should scroll back and look through. Quit comparing this situation to other sports.

Don't get me wrong.. I boo opposing teams. Not as much as many of my PSU/Pittsburgh counterparts, but I do. I don't boo SC players. There are some I cheer for more, but I don't have a stake in who wins or loses to a point that I feel a negative emotional reaction when somebody loses. I'm mostly there because I love the game. Team sports are different.. I hate the Baltimore Ravens. I want them to lose.

I think a large portion of the community has the same feeling which is why you see a negative reaction toward booing. We're in this together so to speak I guess.

If EG.Huk actually happens, we should not assume it'll be as bad as the Puma thing.

That main reason why that was a shitstorm was that EG went "behind TSL's backs, spoke to the player and not the coaches, etc etc" and TSL displayed how pissed off they were vocally.

It seems that, if its even true, this is something that has been in the works for awhile. Which would, assuming again (we should probably stop using that word), involve negotiations with EG and TL, making it more legitimate.
@BilldSC I tweet about all things Starcraft 2!

Everyone is comparing Starcraft 2 to shit like Baseball, Football, Basketball, ect., and this is just not accurate.

Starcraft 2 - if you HAVE to compare it to a sport - is more like boxing or MMA.

The teams practice together, share sponsors, share a gym (training house), but at the end of the day its an individual competition. At the end of the day, people ask you who your favorite fighter/boxer is, NOT who your favorite team is.

If Huk were to go to EG, and you're a fan of Huk, then you shouldn't care. Simple as that.



IMO sc2 is much more versatile a competitive sport then boxing and MMA. true 1v1 tournies such as mlg and GSL might seem like good comparisons to those sports but I feel team league adds an entire new sport so to speak to sc2.


How is SC2 more versatile and competitive than boxing or MMA? Are you just talking out of your ass or what? You cannot honestly say that one sport has greater competition than another nor can you compare the competition between video games and sports nor can you compare video games with other video games. Each sport and game is different and there is no way to judge how much more one is competitive than the other without looking like a fool. You might claim "well this sport is easier than this one" or "this video game is easier than that one" then go and try and win a major tournament in that said sport or video game and see how hard it is.

With that said, MMA and Boxing is similar to SC2 not only because it's 1v1 but also there are training gyms which are basically teams in sc2. MMA fighters generally dislike fighting others who train in the same gym as them because they are their practice partners who they show everything to. Guys like Matt Hamil and Tito Ortiz train in the same gym and are a training team. Ever heard of sponsors like Skrap Pack or Metal Mulisha? These are basically teams in MMA that share sponsors and train together. It's like the IM team house that trains with each other and shows everything to one another. Sure we don't see team leagues in MMA because what would we see? WWF style tag team? No thanks. That is all.
