Respect is a term used alot in fighting games where you respect the fact that a certain combo will absolutely wreck you, so you play around it. Hence in league they playing around getting ganked or what have you.

Though 9 time out of 10 the player isn't think about that at all when it comes to the game, and more of "I don't want to die, but how do I kill you."

Ah okay; I was wondering where that came from. I don't really hear commentators talking about "respecting the marines" in Starcraft. It still feels a bit weird. It makes sense to respect a player, but respecting a champion or an ability?

I think it's kind of the exception that it's not in RTS games apparently, it's the usage I'm used to from card games

"Respect [the power of something]" is a use of the verb that comes up in all contexts beyond just gaming

Street racing is the first leftfield one I can think of

So, it seems to me Renekton is the strongest solo in the game right now? I mean he does not appear to have a solid counterpick, only early advantages at best. Tanky by default, good base damage, high sustain. Not enough weaknesses imo.

His frequent picks in Worlds seems to support my claim. Riot plz.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Given the recent assassin craze, yes.

Damn those progamers are not really resourceful.. The guy is sleeping 2 days in a row on the ground ? How about you buy a inflatable bed right away ??? Also something I don't understand is that some people were in team X house since the beginning and he discovers only 1 week later that there are only 2 cpu and 1 bed ? How is that even possible, weren't they communicating at all ?
Then when they move on their new house he says that they didn't have food during a whole week except for potato chips.. What if I tell you that you can actually BUY FOOD ?
Otherwise it really sucked for him, the team atmosphere must have been awful..
Oh and really people hating on him "for being ugly" ? Wow.. Overall he seems to be a nice guy.

edit : oh yeah the part about the shower is hilarous. It seems the guy never travelled (no judging)

We often forgot most progamers know nothing of the world and how to take care of themselves in it.

Guy has a wife and kid, I would certainly hope he knows how to take care of himself.
When placed in a strange city and a strange situation with nowhere really to live I think it's an exceptional case and doesn't have to do much with not being able to take care of oneself.

and this is coming from a grown man with wife and kids, imagine how the same experience must have been for the rest of the team. considering that quite a few pro level gamers will at least start out as maladjusted nerds, general incompetence on the part of the players with regards to day to day living shouldn't be a surprise (see similar furor over the mrn rent/etc saga, the legend of the unwanted hotel guest, etc).

events like these show how crucial it is to have a dedicated and competent support staff to free players from having to do anything but play the game, and it seems c9 was really lucky to land jack as their manager. i think many of us are familiar with the asian scenes' methods of running teams, and seeing the other extreme of teams like velocity really drive home the importance of a team being more than just the five players
