I don't agree. I do not see this as a problem. IMHO, these kind of privileges are earned. I would find it more disrespectful to ask him to leave. (Like asking MJ to clear the court when he wants to shoot a few extra free throws after a big game ♥).
I actually have this picture (different text) as background on my laptop. To me it represents achievement and the will to stay on top. I find it inspiring.

I do agree that all players, in competition, should be treated the same.

I love boxer as much as the next person; I had the privilege of speaking to him after MLG Anaheim - he's always been my favourite progamer, and he's a big reason of why SC2 exists in such a large way today. However, favouritism is still favouritism.. it's frustrating to see this picture and everyone herald him for it (instead of his many other achievements) when, if given the opportunity, every single computer would be taken by someone that would rather practice at the time.

Not like there are portable computers that you could take and use in a hotel room to practice or anything...

That's such a stupid argument man. Buying a laptop purely for when I'm at an event where I don't have a PC within reach, which is very very rare, is a huge waste of money, and not even the point..

That's the thing; every single computer wouldn't have been taken. In fact, only one computer was taken. I wonder why that is... not because of favoritism, but because only one person sat down and practiced through the night while everyone else was sleeping.

I would be like asking Micheal Jordan to get off the court.
It's either favoritism, earned, or an imposed will,
or a little bit of all three.

I'm okay with the favouritism, but the picture itself devalues each and every progamer at that event, as it pretty much says that they weren't dedicated enough to keep playing.
