I find some of this funny cause Bisu just did a ceremony yesterday.... more would be great, but I think the lack of ceremonies from FBH may have a bit more to do with his recent performance.

If he returns to form, may see some more. Just, even he wouldn't do a ceremony when he's slumping, you know?

this reminds me of a 2v2 game nal_ra played a while back. 20 sec into the game, he "accidentally" (no one knows for sure) paused the game (perhaps because the p hotkey, and he hit f10 by accident?) or he paused on purpose because of a bad split? either way, he was instantly DQ'ed, and even the other team seemed pretty pissed.
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.

And notice how surprised a lot of people were by it - I'm so happy to see T1 are actually doing some active ceremonies these days. However, if you look at the vast majority of games being played recently a massive percentage of them end in either only a bow or a very small/repetative ceremony such as players holding up a sign (KTF.) or making small gestures (Hwaseung OZ.) I'm basing my comments upon what I've observed at Proleague mainly - it's not just FBH who isn't acting in the same manner they used to. (I need to watch that VOD - Bisu's singing is terrible so hopefully his dancing makes up for it lol!)

I think instances of cheating or unfair play would damage the esport more than being a little strict ever will. I don't mind it - I think it indicates growth.

"Offensive" ceremonies have been banned, but asides from the crotchthrusting of FBH or similar other BM ceremonies, I don't quite see how that correlates necessarily to a loss of fun in professional starcraft.

Although of course, this depends on the question: how offensive is "offensive", according to Kespa? Rock's jump didn't seem like it'd be offensive in any respect, but is that kind of ceremony covered under the ban?

(Hahahaha I'm a big Super Junior fan.) I have to see this - it sounds wonderfully odd (especially the combination of people involved!)

@errol1001 - Yeah, talk about weird timing. I'm just so glad at least one of the teams is breaking out of the cycle of lacklustre (or indeed totally absent ceremonies.) Hopefully we'll see more displays of personality and fun at events in the future instead of all these depressing complications and incidents.

Nice read!!! Thanks!!! I mean no more ceremonies seem a bit dull now and KESPA being too strict with some rules, but I guess basically how life goes and all. It's reality and no one can really do about unless some magical major power forces appear to change the laws of Starcraft completely..... But yea, to me, it just seem this is yet another end and start of a new chapter. Another process they have to go through and though not the final one to create Starcraft as a professional sport it deserves compared to soccer, baseball and basketball.... but imagine if Starcraft was an e-sport here in America too... wonder what will happen then...

im not writing the reasons, but i support it =/

Why not write the reasons?

If you're not going to at least say why than there isn't any point in posting about it.

Might as well wait for the damn poll.

zeus did ceremonies before fbh, though otherwise good writeup?

edit: at least to my recollection he was known for cockiness long before fbh was, and i thought i remembered some ceremonies... could be wrong though

Yeah - that's why I included him in the ceremonies video section because he's so well known for his 2v2 and solo ceremonies. I guess you could say he is FBH's ancestor in terms of bringing fun and eccentric ceremonies to the fans. Sadly now he's moved into coaching he doesn't do them anymore (I miss his dancing!)

Firebathero should have dressed up as Hard Gay under his uniform, ripped off his clothes after winning, and THEN crotch-thrusted his way around the stage. Hooooooooooooooo!

All so we could watch the heads of the Korean audience explode.
