"If we build this Jenga tower of StarCraft eSports correctly, we will be taken seriously. In the meantime, let's over-scrutinize every loose block and use that to build a better solid flagship title of a tower"

- Love the games and events, but community can be pretty harsh and also swiftly forgiving; it's tough to keep up.

the only scene more overly scrutinizing than SC is the league scene, and the league scene always comes off as..

really obsessed with 'legitimacy' and being like 'sports', and it comes off to me as very.. Trying too hard, and it all comes off as a charlatans show

like lots of big sweeping motions, but not much.. Real

Esports try hard fans are my favorite, and SC2 is full of them. They are all terrible at the game, so they spend their time debating how to make the game better and as big at league. They really can stand to be terrible at the third largest Esport.

trying intentionally to create a popular competitive esports title is nearly impossible imo. trying to replicate the luck they had with bw in korea was very unlikely and unlike csgo, the game seems to be regressing.

i am terrified of "legitimacy" (not as in legitimate competition or standards, because that should be always supported, i'm talking about the quote-unquote professionalism bent; sterile, soft, inoffensive, "fun for the whole family") in esports. i like it being popular, but i would absolutely shrivel up and die if these people who bend over backwards for the idea of professionalism had their absolute way. some brazilian guy in league got caught on camera trash talking an opponent and flipping the bird. he made an apology thread on reddit and got fucking crucified.

i mean i am all for 'not being a dick' and assholes should be held accountable but the thought of a future of endless witchhunts because some player said something to other player and it hurt their feelings ;( is like

i hope it never comes to this. when i go to my local soccer/football games the supporters group has to vet all of its tifos and chants through the team itself because otherwise it might ruin the mickey mouse atmosphere.

We talking about VAC bans? Gosi has about 20 from cs. Whenever he wins a game, the opposing team reports him for being a cheater because he has a vac ban.

Wow starcraft 2 never ceases to amaze me. They care for their drama llama more than any other scene ever.

honestly i find this a bit rich because the dota community is every bit as drama mongering as the starcraft one, and i bet the lol one isn't much different.

maybe different on other sites tho

when you hook+ulti with pudge, do you usually use your ulti instantly after casting hook or do you wait until they arrive at you? i ask because i have been doing the former (instant hook+ulti) but i think it makes me run towards them while they are travelling and they go past me so i have to turn before my ulti starts to cast itself....

Ofc it will make you run towards them, the cast range of dismember is 160 so your hero will go towards the enemy
But does it djent?

the former i think is a bug in wc3 dota (i think Yango mentioned this) thus it doesnt work in dota 2. now you have to wait for the target to arrive. im not sure tho
