I love the icon by the way. One of the few times I can say to people "my icon can beat up your icon."

I got my BC icon back earlier today, but it changed again after I got more powers :x

would you say that you're overpowered?

Ah you're talking only about fanbase, ok. Then yes it's obviously foreigners that draw bias, but being Zerg has nothing to do with it, it's mainly a question of personality. (see the fanbase of Snute or VortiX)


Snute going to a lot of tournaments compared to Vortix (and anyone really) has a lot to do with that too

Hmm I meant that Snute's fanbase is small and non-intolerant compared to the ones of Nani, Idra, Scarlett and Stephano, much like VortiX


Oh sorry I misread what you said. Snute's fanbase is a lot less rabid it seems usually, though they were pretty loud when he was beating Flash (but that was justified). I wouldn't call his fanbase small though. And if it's an issue of personality, does Scarlett have much of that or is it just the "girl appeal"


She's shy just as the next Korean so don't tell me the bias comes from "personality" ^^ I don't think being a girl has anything to do with it either tho. It's just the foreigner thing imo.


I wasn't around the scene then, but when she first started winning wasn't she the most shy, painfully awkward person ever? Her personality should have been detrimental really


I think that people got that impression after a Hot_Bid interview; which we know isn't a reliable means of determining one's personality.


I mean, even on stage in real interviews she was the "one word answers" type and was barely audible

Yeah but she changed, she said it herself in interviews. Also being unnaturaly shy is "personality". It's answering like a machine and not showing emotion that is considered "faceless".


I don't really get what "faceless" means. Many say for example Inno is a faceless Korean but for me if you watch/read his interviews he conveys his personality really well: he cares only about the game, about being good, about winning, he doesn't provoke other players, he doesn't care about ceremonies or Twitter drama, he's not an attention whore. So what does faceless mean? Not being a clown, cocky or circlejerky?

(ib4 GumBa says Inno is not at all like I described him and makes me look super silly.)


Well, a big problem with Koreans and showing personality is the language barrier.

Pretty much that, except you can add just having charisma to the list (Zest^^)
I'm not saying "faceless" is a legitimate concept, it's obviously dumb and false. But you can't deny that when you compare, say, Bomber winnning WCS Season 2 2013 and, say, Stephano dancing after winning an MLG or MC winning a game or even Flash winning IEM Toronto, you clearly have a difference in expressed emotions. That's what makes the difference in "level of facelessness" for (dumb) people, and what makes popularity.

You can't deny that it's better to see a player running around and visibly super excited after a big win that a players like Taeja who is just kind of smiling as is like "yes I just won" after.

That. And Inno has a shy and awkward side to him it's super qt. Also a baller singer and the 3 times I have met him he has been very nice
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

She's shy just as the next Korean so don't tell me the bias comes from "personality" ^^ I don't think being a girl has anything to do with it either tho. It's just the foreigner thing imo.


I wasn't around the scene then, but when she first started winning wasn't she the most shy, painfully awkward person ever? Her personality should have been detrimental really


I think that people got that impression after a Hot_Bid interview; which we know isn't a reliable means of determining one's personality.


I mean, even on stage in real interviews she was the "one word answers" type and was barely audible

Yeah but she changed, she said it herself in interviews. Also being unnaturaly shy is "personality". It's answering like a machine and not showing emotion that is considered "faceless".


I don't really get what "faceless" means. Many say for example Inno is a faceless Korean but for me if you watch/read his interviews he conveys his personality really well: he cares only about the game, about being good, about winning, he doesn't provoke other players, he doesn't care about ceremonies or Twitter drama, he's not an attention whore. So what does faceless mean? Not being a clown, cocky or circlejerky?

(ib4 GumBa says Inno is not at all like I described him and makes me look super silly.)

Pretty much that, except you can add just having charisma to the list (Zest^^)
I'm not saying "faceless" is a legitimate concept, it's obviously dumb and false. But you can't deny that when you compare, say, Bomber winnning WCS Season 2 2013 and, say, Stephano dancing after winning an MLG or MC winning a game or even Flash winning IEM Toronto, you clearly have a difference in expressed emotions. That's what makes the difference in "level of facelessness" for (dumb) people, and what makes popularity.


You can't deny that it's better to see a player running around and visibly super excited after a big win that a players like Taeja who is just kind of smiling as is like "yes I just won" after.

Better? I don't know. Better for the viewers, for sure. But not expressing feelings can also create a public image of you

Snute going to a lot of tournaments compared to Vortix (and anyone really) has a lot to do with that too

Hmm I meant that Snute's fanbase is small and non-intolerant compared to the ones of Nani, Idra, Scarlett and Stephano, much like VortiX


Oh sorry I misread what you said. Snute's fanbase is a lot less rabid it seems usually, though they were pretty loud when he was beating Flash (but that was justified). I wouldn't call his fanbase small though. And if it's an issue of personality, does Scarlett have much of that or is it just the "girl appeal"

Well I've seen people call Zest a "faceless Protoss Proleague hero". I wanted to hire a plane to smoke-draw a facepalm in the sky.
I guess I should just ignore all posts with the word "faceless" in it ^^

For Taeja winning is kinda boring now. I guess
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

That. And Inno has a shy and awkward side to him it's super qt. Also a baller singer and the 3 times I have met him he has been very nice


When Innovation sings, does it come out autotuned?

There'll always be people saying shit on players for any reason. Most people don't consider Zest as faceless (at least I'm pretty sure of it)

I love the icon by the way. One of the few times I can say to people "my icon can beat up your icon."

I got my BC icon back earlier today, but it changed again after I got more powers :x
