Most people would expect me to hate SKT and their fans, but I don't. The only player from them I dislike is BeSt (at various points, one of the most overrated and boring players ever). Their fans have gotten a little itchy as of late, but I remember them for being chill for the most part with some exceptions (but all fanbases have their rotten apples).

This isn't as true as it once was, but CJ fans used to be by far the most annoying and crazy. Their numbers have dwindled in the last couple years, and I attribute a lot of that to Savior's disgraceful exit, since there wasn't a fanbase in the world as shitty and delusional as Savior's, and so that was naturally related to CJ's fanbase.

most of them are in it for Flash unfortunately.

I do like Flash but I also like Reach, Action, Stats, Barracks, Hoejja etc. if Flash went to Ace, I'll cheer for Flash but I'll still root for KT.

I had a feeling that might happen, most people tend to like one and hate the other I guess. You could probably call me a Flash-bandwagon-er but I would be fine with that. It's not my fault Hwaesung dissbanded and I had to pick someone else quick. I always root for T8 but I couldn't say I like them the best because it would be too painfull to be a T8 fan. I might not have liked KT best either if it wasn't for these playoffs helping me get to know their whole lineup and the Reach or Flash MedicDates.

I shouldn't post while I'm cooking, I nearly lost my ramen flavour-packet.

I don't hate any of the teams or their fans. I DO however hate certain players and their fans.

I hate Fantasy and I don't have a good reason. I just hate his dumb gawky face.

Flash Fans tend to bandwagon, you saw the same thing with Jangbi for awhile. Love both the players, but I seriously doubt some of their "fans" sincerity.

Reading the PL semis thread its pretty amazing how much hate people have for certain teams, just read the KT vs Khan Day 1 thread. I like this sort of banter as it makes things more exciting but it got me wondering about which team attracts the most derision and which team's fans are the most annoying. Fans will try to say how their team is the most hated on or how some other team's fans are the most annoying, I want to do a poll to see what the general TL populace thinks about these teams (and maybe direct that kind of chatter into this thread rather than the LR threads).

We've been through this countless times.

You can pick any at random with a big fan base. KT, CJ, SK, Khan. I'd call it dislike too.

People hate on KT because of Flash and SKT because they are imba with Bisu and Fantasy. I'm a SKT fan, but there's no team I dislike, just players I like more than others. I really like Flash though, funnily enough, but that's because his play is a inspiration to me as a fellow terran. When Flash plays against Bisu or Best I find it hard to decide who to root on, even when it's a really important game. I guess that means I'm more of a fan of players, rather than teams. The reason why I cheer on SKT is because they have the most amount of players that I like, and they have Hyuk. Hyuk will always be nr 1 in my heart, in a non-gay way.

As broodwar finally comes to an end. Progamers leave their painful parting words for fans. All storylines and rivalries abruptly ending. As the curtain closes, and all the players, coaches and commentators bow out for the last time .. I would like to say: it was an honour hating you KT/SKT fans every step of the way.

Never really noticed people hating on teams or their fans. Most of the times it's just innocent fun.

SKT fans most hated, courtesy of Lightwip ^^
Edit: I think we should also have a poll where everyone who isn't a KT or SKT fan votes for their least favorite team between KT/SKT and least favorite fans of those teams... the polls are too skewed by high KT/SKT fan/antifan count.

Meh, SKT will hate KT, KT will hate SKT, and everyone else hates whoever is successful (so kt and skt). If STX had won 3 championships in a row they would be the most hated.
