How many are out there? Look at him. He's the self confident, never-seem-to-be serious progamer. I don't say we need more types like him, but there is definitly room for one or two of his kind. That gives him a personality beside his playstyle. And if it entertains people he's done half his job for the industry.
If other players get offended by him and pressure themself with a must-win because of his cockiness, well then good for chalrenge. But don't even assume that any of these great players will even blink with an eye when they see him, well besides nada and maybe midas hehe. But players like boxer, nal_ra, reach or oov would just steemroll such a player and leave the player booth.
btw i think nada and midas because they seem to put pressure on themself when it's clearly not necessary.
-.- i would also like more interesting ceremonies, but there has 2 be a limit, cuz things could become totally out of control. like actual brutal fighting

people getting strangled with cords and whacked with keyboards.
I don't have any problems with ceremonies, although they should only allow them if the progamers already have their ceremonies planned. No more Midas' please.

Any one else enjoy the dancing from Khan ??
The minute I saw dude start dancing I shut the fucking video window out of embarassment for the dude. Kinda wish I saw the rest but what I saw was enough. Surprised no one posted a gif in this thread.

Personally I'm for anything that shows more of each progamer's personality. Celebrations, whether stupid, lame, cocky, etc., are all fine by me because they tell you something about that player. Midas had a lame attempt at a celebration, but it showed us a bit of his personality, the shy, self-conscious guy who isn't really comfortable in the spotlight. Chalrenge, whether you liked it or not, showed that he has a bit of showmanship and confidence in him with his celebration.
We identify and nickname progamers based on their their styles of play (their flaws even?) because it gives them a sort of identity and personality beyond their screennames. It makes them more interesting and fun to watch, which is definitely a good thing for the gamers, the fans, and the people running the leagues/tournaments. I think it'd be fine even if a progamer were to do something offensive if they wanted to, they'd just have to be ready for the backlash from the public and other players. With the way the game has developed and how it's becoming harder and harder for gamers to distinguish themselves, I welcome anything that could allow progamers to stand out amongst the crowd and be more than "just another Terran/Zerg/Protoss".
P.S. I'm sorry but Raiz needs to remove the stick up his ass.

With how much time they devote to the game, all the interviews where progamers say "i dont have time for a girlfriend", and all the poor practice partners chained to their computers, I say give em a chance to celebrate their wins.
