And? Haypros beaten Nestea and taken a game off MVP, Idras lost macro games to cruncher and desrow...shit happens and its sc2....good players can lose to bad players all the time, especially when you successfully hide cannons at a zergs 3rd.

gratz to incontrol but the fact that winning 2 games is such a huge deal to this fanclub reflects on how awful his results have been recently and how low standards have gotten. this is the same guy thats playing been playing 8hours a day in a dedicated team house for months, and was talking about winning major tourneys this time last year. getting wrecked in tourneys, losing showmatches to cytoplasm and destiny who was playing more LoL than sc2 at the time and then getting one 2-0 shouldnt be met with this much fanfare. its kinda sad seeing how low his fans standards have gotten.

Have you ever taken 3 seconds to think before you post?

He is the face of EG. He casts, he is on 2 podcasts, and is one of the major faces in the Starcraft community. He has said that his results are poor and that he needs to pick it up, and he has been improving, while I don't see him doing amazingly well, he does loads for his team, he has helped IdrA and DeMuslim get out of that rage losing and quitting mentality. It's kind of sad to see some kid who is probably in gold, insulting an established pro player.

...you`re not actually disagreeing with anything im saying, in fact you`re basically saying the exact same thing as i am. He`s a great team captain / community figure / personality, but he isnt cutting it as a player.

What's sad, as opposed to what you originally expressed, is that you think that his fans shouldn't be celebrating when he accomplishes something awesome. His other results don't matter when you look at the question of "Can his fans celebrate him beating Sleep?" Yes. We're fans. That's what we do. Of course you can take into account the context of past results when gauging excitement and expectations, but when you're a fan of a team or player, that means you probably fucking enjoy it when they do well. We don't have low standards of him. I expect him to dominate and win an MLG this year. We simply don't wait for those expectations to be met to enjoy the quality entertainment he gives us. Like you'd expect, we're bummed when he loses. Like you'd expect, we're bummed if such a trend continues. However, the idea of simply supporting someone and celebrating whatever they achieve seems to pass you by. Lighten up, honey.


On second thought, why should I have to explain this in a fanclub?

I don't know if you are oblivious as to who he beat, in which case one possibly could forgive you for such a retarded comment, but sleep (ex slayers and IM) went on to beat white-ra and bling 2-0 in the very same matchup. It's a pretty fucking big win for ANY foreign protoss.
