Just sounded like a vent of frustration to me. I don't see what the big deal is. They aren't bagging on us; like he said, he's basically calling out Halo fans and trying to get some emotion out of them. Yeah?

the starcraft community berates almost every other game under the guise of "less skilled" its like when people hate on league of legends being worse than dota/hon when they don't even play moba games, they just jump on the bandwagon

and the most ironic part? they are doing this all when the same lines can be drawn between brood war and starcraft 2

like slasher said, support the games you like and respect the ones you don't, there are far more percentile of sc2 fans that shit on halo than halo people shit on sc2, especially when alot of the top sc2 pros have said time and time again how the other mlg game communities respect starcraft and even play it.

The Starcraft community is a bunch of unstylish nerds? Well at least most of us aren't 12 year old boys that tell eachother were going to rape eachother. (Which is exactly what they were complaining about.)

I do agree though on some points. We are egotistical, we are obsessed in a sense. But shit, I don't care if you call me egotistical. BW becamse a legitimate sport in another country, Halo is a game everybody plays when their gf isn't around. I would think SC is a better "game" then and I'm going to stick by that opinion.

But yeah I agree Slasher isn't stylish, lolol.

Love how MLG realizes they can gain more press by having people who work for them act like idiots (ex. this and fuck slasher)

I think these guys are an embarrassment to themselves. I don't know who they are in the Halo community, but as a first impression, what I see are a group of people who are trying to elevate themselves above another community (why?) by focusing on petty differences such as 'style'.

Honestly, who cares? They swear far too much as well. These guys may be some of the greatest Halo players (I don't know), but there is nothing professional in their conduct and it makes me feel ashamed to call myself a passionate gamer.

If you rise to the top of a community, you have to behave in a reasonable manner because you are an ambassador for that community. These guys represent themselves poorly.

and yet another person is trolled...

When you get to a certain level in starcraft the coolness graph is a parabola and you start getting cool again! thats why SC Pros are actually the coolest people in the world.

they went on a rant about starcrafts player styles... most sc2 players are bad ass in their team uniforms and do you ever seem them out of uniform? no
they try to trash talk that they don't do anything besides starcraft, why would anyone care that people are trying to insult you for being dedicated to something you love that takes dedication?
it's just stupid and giving them attention is dumber

I dont understand how the baboon in a lumberjack shirt calls himself a nerd, I reckon you need a minimum level of smarts to qualify.

just a bunch of people talking about sc2 on a halo show

so quite frankly idc. ofc i disagree with them but they're joking around on a show trying to entertain people. if you asked them in a published interview, what do you think about sc2, they'll be like oh yeah it's a great game.

if you got a sc2 show to talk about halo we'd be like thats a joke, consoles a joke, and cs is way better.

I dont understand what they have against the gracket. Also, there are a lot of fashionable starcraft players. If anything I feel like the Halo community should be angry at bungie, for almost massacring their scene. I don't think anyone should be that upset about it, I think its fair to say starcraft requires a lot more time than halo. If anything, we should be upset that slasher is scene as a representation of the SC2 community.

Poor guys, I didn't see much offensive about it at all if you consider that thier game has massively dropped in popularity compared to Starcraft, and they just need to find some way to help thier own community. Water off a ducks back, I say.

Yes, they bashed our dress style, basically as a small joke, but otherwise anything else mentioned about the starcraft community was pretty much respect for the growth of the community, skill of the players and most importantly the dedication of the fans. It's not really up to me deciding which sports become big, so if people are watching halo on stage, thats alright. I have sc2 to watch on up to 4 streams at a barcraft otherwise I go practice myself for my own local tournaments etc.

Could have been a better delivery, but I was really interested in hearing something from a different perspective instead of off TL. The jabs were minimal and nothing compared to how we bash console shooters.
