They have some points I'm sure, but I'm done watching it after 5:00. Why does it matter which game's players dress up more? What does that have to do with playing their game? So what if SC2 players don't really do much outside of their proffession, there are a lot of people like that in the world. They just seem upset that our part of the E-Sports community aren't "Bro gamers". | ||

He said it himself, they were at the very top, now a competitive community came, the halo community is at the bottom. and thats where they deserve to be with such lame "stylish" (LOL nice one fatty) representation. and fuck they dress like shit... even if its a joke, Halo is a joke. | ||

Since you didn't watch the video or read this thread, and therefore do not actually know what you are talking about, I just want to point out what they said was said jokingly, and they were calling for their community to be MORE like the SC2 community in reality. | ||

That video was hilarious to be honest. I love the part where Slasher is a representative of the Starcraft community too.  I don't care about "relationships" with other games. In fact I don't think we should even have a relationship. | ||

This is the absolute best post in the thread. What the fuck people. "Don't worry it's Halo" and all the other game bashing that goes on in streams, SotG, and all that is perfectly fine. But once someone touches our precious game, OH NO ALERT THE PRESSES THEY ARE HURTING ESPORTS. It seems like "hurting esports" is the new buzzword for "I am offended/dislike what he is saying/dislike that decision." Get some thicker skin and grow up. It's a joke, it was intended to be a joke and I personally found it hilarious. On December 05 2011 12:14 Samp wrote: This is the reason why I wish console esports die.

This is the exact type of poster and posting quality that paints US in a worse light than them, even if their video was serious (which it isn't). Christ, didn't your parents ever tell you to "be a bigger man" or something? This is just childish guys. | ||

but seriously. These guys are just frustrated because the halo scene and all of that is kinda falling out of the wayside for our game. I think the thing about halo being on console and therefore more casual is you dont have the kind of devotion en masse as starcraft players who work at being good and love to watch our players play the game we love just like we do (albeit much much better). I think they just want to energize their community and get it's head above the water before it goes down. I wish they could do it in a better, more constructive way than shitting on us because dude bro look at those dorks lol, but it's whatever. Halo is like the kid who was really cool in high school, but then didn't do anything after and ended up kind of staying in his hometown and working as an assistant manager at Denny's or something while starcraft was able to become successful now that it's in the mainstream mlg spotlight. | ||

Well if that's the case they definitely should have gone about it a different way. Either way I got my shits and giggles from this. | ||

It's the mob mentality. Go to the General forum for any extent of time and you see it, hell, motbob even made a thread explicitly about not blowing things out of context and people still blew it out of context because they don't read/watch/whatever. They see a hyperbolic thread title, or they, instead of actually informing themselves, scroll down. They see the first, second, third reactions and just assume that's how they should react and then the ball gets rolling. Then this giant wheel of misinformation, ignorance, and immaturity just keeps on going until it explodes into something it isn't nor never meant to be, and some unfortunate people get banned. And all of it could be avoided if people just watched the video initially, realized they weren't bashing SC2 but were essentially bashing their own game, if anything, and if they could learn to take a joke when they deal them out so much. | ||

While it may be a joke (though I wouldn't know who would find it funny), I think deep down it stems from their fear about the future of their own game. | ||

In the end, any publicity is good publicity. I just don't know if this will really help Halo. | ||

They spent most of the video praising the Starcraft 2 community and how it has become the benchmark for where they want the Halo community to be and they even shit talk the Halo community for being babied by MLG and not doing shit. In fact a whole movement has started by the Halo community influenced by what the the Starcraft 2 community is doing right, because they respect the monster of an eSports game that it has become. But obviously we are just gonna go off on what they said in the first minute. Sure that part was a big dick waving but Jesus Christ man. Not something to throw a bitch fit about.other games, it doesn't mean the whole SC2 community is shitting on that scene. The Halo scene doesn't hate SC2. Yeah... uh, GenoZStriker pretty much hit this right on topic. All I heard was respect, and just light joking about dressing up in the Starcraft 2 Community. If anything, they should've been more careful about the delivery of their topic, but nothing they said was even nearly offensive to the Starcraft community as what Starcraft 2 has done such as the shit I've heard about SC2 fans booing other gamers on their stages at MLG; thank god they didn't bring that topic to light. Give this shit a break, and leave their community alone to develop their own thoughts, as the entire point of the video was that they did respect the Starcraft communities development. And whats with the OP about other games dying and trying to bring up some topic on how it would feel to have our community die? What the do you think is happening with the Brood War community, and all the inconsiderate SC2 fans running around parading about it? Of course, that is if I generalized the SC2 community into a single entity, which I don't mean to say, but in some sense the Brood War community is on helluva a downhill slope. In the end, this is kind of interesting in the aspect that a game with a completely different focus like Starcraft 2 is crossing paths with FPS games like Halo, and hopefully a nice overall esport community can develop from this. | ||
