Honestly, I think that Starcraft is a lot more stylish than Halo. When do you see the Halo players come out in badass team uniforms? Maybe a few do, but only a few. Most that you see walk around in a casual t-shirt and shorts. Whenever you watch GSL and you see the players in their uniforms you get the greatest nerd chills. Their uniforms are a symbol of their power and bad-assery. It also brings a certain sense of organization and order while Halo, due to their amazing sense of 'style', looks and feels a lot more sloppy when you watch it. I see both of you, like many others, have not even bothered to watch the entire segment (the first 10 minutes). The reaction between those who watched on the first few minutes vs. those who watched the entire segment contrasts a lot, and you have to wonder why. From your response, it's clear you've only seen a few minutes of it, whether it's because you had a short attention span or just got enough sound bites to post here, I don't know, but you should watch further because you're just trolling yourself. | ||

And honestly, what they're saying isn't much different then one of the SotG's discussion. Specifically that SC2 players could pay a little more attention to public image. SotG was specifically talking about player interviews, but it's a similar idea if only a little more combative. See their are gamers and then there is people like Boxer in BW who was an ambassador outside of the game. He was both good and charismatic. So, I'd say take what they say for what's worth, but don't get to all bent out of shape. Huh, at 12min, that middle guy actually moved on from Halo to SC2 and LoL and has only moved back to Halo to fire them up a bit. So I suspect he's a little more sympathetic than might be though from the first 5 min. 16min- middle guy talking about mad respect for SC to fans walking into bars with their 15 nerd fans to get barcraft started. Yeah, nothing to get worked up about. Also, this has nothing to do with Halo getting dethroned by SC2. Most of their talk is haranguing fans of Halo to start projects to be ready if/when MLG drops Halo. They're pretty realistic about the state of Halo. | ||

Using Jinro as an example of style is even more silly, Those sunglasses :D. Nada works though, I'm on a horse. Edit ; Jinro if you happen to read this : I think you're awesome man, I mean no offense! | ||

About the topic, we are in control of the future of eSports. It's our viewership, our community, that is driving this unprecedented boom in eSports in general. The more games being played at MLG and other events, the better off we are. The more we watch other games, the more that other games will have a chance to shine. eSports isn't just about SC2, it's about people playing video games professionally, and it's a dream of so many people to be able to do this. We are in a position, due to our huge numbers, to keep that dream alive, to nurture it, to make it a reality. It falls on our shoulders to make this happen. Don't you think we should? | ||

What Halo team promotes its own line of clothing? Primezzang Lol . . let's compare American wiggers to Korean flower boys guys. Anyways, I'm not really personally offended. Those three Halo people are just being silly and showing how immature their community is if they really are forefront figures. Can you guys imagine Day9 or Mr Chae making fun of other esports communities just to get attention? | ||

But in all seriousness, I enjoy watching most any game at a high level of play and I do personally believe that SC2 is more fun to watch. | ||

If you want to overblow this into something it's not, take it to reddit or 4chan or wherever you crazy kids go these days. This really isn't the place for it. | ||
