Anyway, kind of disagree that winning matters the most when it comes to player fandom. I started liking Stork back when he was slumping last year. And I continued to watch FBH fail time after time in TvP. I started rooting for estro when Artosis began to talk about them on SCForAll. And rooted for them continuously despite them usually losing their matches. | ||

Because that sort of language and discussion is "taking it easy" and treating it lightly because its an article about StarCraft. Take your own advice. You're right, hot_bid. I forgot that one day, my grandchildren's grandchildren will gather around and hear stories about us. We, who lived in the Age of Boxer, Emperor of Terran. They will speak of us in hushed tones, we proud few who wrote articles about those shining figures of destiny who spent 10-12 hours a day playing starcraft. History will remember them, and will remember us for our part in their glory. I am sorry that I did not use proper tones of respect and passion when describing these events. | ||

It's okay, I forgive you, I know that Samsung fans in general have trouble seeing reality for how it is. | ||

I guess now that you agree with parts of an article, it magically becomes not "petty," it suddenly "deserves" to be on the front page, and people shouldn't "just ignore it." | ||

My life is, for the most part, seen through the lens of Samsung fanhood. Stork's crazy aggressive style of play entertained me when I watched vods, and I felt reality instantly melt away and become a swirling kaleidoscope of fantasy. My life changed forever the day I signed up at team liquid and clicked that fateful dropdown menu. | ||

Okay, real post: Great article, I hate it when people hate "noobs" for liking newer players. I remember watching my first ever pro match, it was Mind vs. Effort on neo Medusa in GOM season 3, ro.32. I remember that Tasteless was hilarious, SDM screwed up so many english words, and kept talking about hotdogs, and i remember looking at the way Effort controlled his army, and I was in awe. Then i remember watching Flash play in the GOMTV SI, and I instantly fell in love with the way he played. I didn't know the outcomes of any of the games, so it felt like a fresh tournament to me, and there was just something about FlaSh that i though was incredible, and he motivated ( and still motivates me) to play Terran.

The pain when the stars finally fall is just too great =( This is why the elitists hate noobs. They're jealous of us guys. We have our stars that are peaking. I mean hell, i don't even think we've seen the best of FlaSh, Jaedong, or Bisu, but those guys have to watch the shells of the former stars they once loved. It'd be like watching Joe Montana play for the Chiefs after starting for 14 years and winning 4 super bowls with the 49ers, or watching Wayne Gretzky play with the Rangers at the age of 40, when in his prime he scored 92 goals in an 82 game season. But now you have Tom Brady and Sidney Crosby, and the game is moving on. I've heard people talk about stagnation in the Pro scene, because there are so many good player. I think it's the contrary. With so many good players, it forces the best players to have to play that much better, just to retain their average place in the rankings, resulting in all of us seeing better games. Because there are more players, there are more leagues, more upsets, and more surprises. The SC proleague is at it's peak right now, and I'm personally trying to enjoy it the best I can, because although i am excited for SC2, nobody knows what it will do to the proleague, although I am optimistic. | ||

SAMSUNG?!?!??! oh dear lord you kids are going to be sad. ohhhhh is there a more loathsome team Meh, I'd rather root for a team with players that actually have some personality, and act like the young adults they are. Rather than a team who make their players put on a poker face 24/7 and refusing to gg 10 minutes after the game's effectively over. | ||

Come on! + Show Spoiler + You're always welcome on the T1 side, Hot_Bid Yeah, who needs to learn to paint and paint pictures when you can just buy paintings. At least the overpriced, washed up version of them. | ||

For me the real enjoyment from watching SC is when someone lifts his CC to avoid scouting, hallucinate his arbiters to do crazy recall or maelstrom bunch of guardians and devouiers and storm them to win the game. now is much much more boring | ||

The only thing sad about today's ace-match was the "not-GGing" part. But that's a part of CJ tradition so... fuck it ;> | ||

That's not fair: of course the content of an article has an impact on what people think of it. It's not inconsistent to think of Plexa's elitist article as petty and your populist article as broad-minded or whatever. How do you think articles should be judged? | ||
