You are arrogant (not sure why you wrote you aren't) you just seem to ignore that fact for some reason , here ill show you :
"I'm not a fan of a particular team, why would you be? There are teams I enjoy watching, usually because they are good and because you can learn something. It's the other position that doesn't make sense, why would you be a fan of a team? What do you get out of that relationship?"

So you feel you have nothing to learn from teams who are not the tip top best of the world ? so i assume you are actually a pro player ? give me a f****g break , if you don't think that all the players in the open qualifiers aren't leagues better then you then you are delusional or a pro player , every player in Alliance is outrageously better then you , you saying you don't have anything to learn from them is mind boggling and stupid, if its because you don't ENJOY watching them play , fine , but we do ENJOY it.

regarding not understanding why ppl enjoy bulldog stream (you were hurt by that notion)- , i finished my uni years ago and i still enjoy watching bulldog stream from time to time , its a HOBBY/Recreational time , you don't seem to know what it is , also you believing that all of them are mediocre is whats strikes me the most of you being an arrogant prick.
What exactly is the answer you are looking from your questions ? ppl gave you plenty of them but you ignore them and say you don't understand them , sorry pal if you can't understand them you are thicker then i thought , good luck when you finish uni , you should find a job with 0 human interaction if possible as this seem like a weak spot for you.

Please , I ask you nicely because this is getting frustrating , contribute to the Alliance thread (i even miss the trolls) rather then discuss how fans behave , if you wish to discuss fan behaviour please open a thread in general i will come and discuss it with you there , have a nice day,

I think your starting points are off.






First of all, Id argue that being a fan doesnt necesarily incline some sort of personality worship. For me personally, I dont particularly like any one person on Alliance but I do however cheer for the team. Secondly, Id argue that there's more than one type of joy in watching anything, as someone else mentioned, if you have an emotional bond due to whatever reason which can be formed as easily as having a common nationality or just a positive feeling about something. I don't think that there's alot of fans who actually worship every single player on a given team - you might just like individual playstyle or personality and that carries over to the team. To examplify, theres alot of individual athletes with fan followings which are not necessarily based on athletic superiority but rather personality, ethics or whatever other reason.

For me, Ive been a fan since NTH and their innovative lvl 1 rosh and was subsequently very impressed when they in a dota landscape dominated by chinese teams (at least as I remember it) went and won G-1 Champions League Season 5 undefeated through a series of Bo1s with a innovative TP rosh strat.

At that time, i guess by your logic it was reasonable to be a fan since they were the best team in the world but I still get positive feelings from when they won TI3 and I had stayed up all night and they were losing the final game just until the last minute - should i just discard that just cause they havnt done as well in the last few years? I will always root for alliance to some degree just based on that and I would assume that holds true for other people as well.

game vs secret should be pretty easy. They seem pretty down atm and wouldn't be surprised to see a 2-0 walk-over. Even if not 2-0 Alliance should win at least 2-1 vs them unless they blunder really hard.
So yeah, we should be getting that Liquid vs Alliance game >: )

If you go by dictionary definition a fan is "someone who ​admires and ​supports a ​person, ​sport, ​sports ​team..". A lesser or greater degree of personality worship is implied in the definition. The main reasons I can find to like something is because it's good or because it's so bad it's fun. You are adding a third here which I would agree with - because it so different it is interesting, in this case refering to playstyles. I would also agree Alliances playstyle is somewhat different even though it is not my cup of tea.

In your last paragraph you are adding yet another reason I agree with and it is a very obvious one so I'm a idiot for not seeing that one sooner - you start out liking them because they are good and that positive feeling lingers.

Thank you for a well reasoned post, it is greatly appreciated.

Why do they share Stream. Only 1 main stage?

Indeed, i dont mind it as it breaks the routine of watching the tourny (if you like both games) , but the problem is they switch teams/games WAY too slow which is holding everything up , and you should note that EG 2-0 easily and Fnatic are stomping as well and you are still WAY behind , if those games were 3 maps you would be in trouble meeting the dead line.
