1. Whether or not fanboys will be discouraged from cheering for other winning players or old timers, why do we care? 2. ACE is technically not washed up Seems like you dont respect too much from the past, rather you like to move on. Sure you talk about sticking to MJY to the end, but really now, does that give you the ability to smash some of the other old timers who don't got it anymore? | ||

I like the diversity of opinions amongst staff. You articulated your views and provided a great arguments for it. It's not like the staff should always a united front...we're not in a war against some enemy. Diversity in opinion is what makes this very community interesting. | ||

The problem I have with the current best player bandwagon mentality is when people talk like it's such a fucking insight that the best player today is better than the best player a year ago. It's like yeah obviously the Mars Rover is more technologically advanced then Apollo 11. But some people have the gall to compare the two like the Mars Rover is more important than the Apollo 11 ever was. That is the part that makes me angry, not the bandwagon mentality itself, but the ignorance in the arguments presented by the people that think the Mars Rover is greater than Apollo 11 could ever be. That's why when people say you think Jaedong/Bisu/Flash is Bonjwa? It's like such a slap in the face when all the discussion really shows is that they really don't understand the meaning of the term Bonjwa itself. There's nothing wrong with liking whomever, in fact it helps the longevity of Starcraft because new players get support as well. The problem occurs if a player that only follows casually with limited knowledge says not only is my player great he's a bigger deal than any player that has ever come before him. Consider this sentence: You see that guy Anytime on Ace? Wow he sucks noob, maybe he could learn to play Protoss from Backho, that's a real Protoss player. If there was a Backho bandwagon and someone said this, do you see all the things that are wrong with this statement? Or why such a person could easily be labeled as ignorant or of having a less valuable/informed opinion vs someone else? Even if he was a Backho fan the only thing it accomplished was lowering the perceived IQ of Backho fans everywhere through the sheer ignorance of such a statement. The following is certainly not a sentence to Hotbid, but to casual current best player bandwagons. If a person follows Starcraft casually with limited knowledge they don't care to increase, they should not try to educate people when they haven't taken the initiative to educate themself. Bandwagons can be good, casual fans that haven't made the slightest effort to learn about something before educating others is bad. | ||

Just because their time has come and go, doesn't mean we shouldn't still root for that player. Sure, if you focus on the past you'll get nowhere in the future, but we honor war veterans and give them respect, don't we? Shouldn't we do the same for veterans of Starcraft? What's the point of museums if all they serve is to reminisce of old, smelly artifacts from an ancient period? What's the point of cherishing anything from a past time-frame if you don't respect how it got there? The fact that people still have a special place in their hearts for old-timers such as BoxeR or Yellow, proves that. I don't think this should be a front-page spread. It doesn't necessarily reflect any other person's views and values, all it does is have a negative connotation towards sentimentalism. And why the fuck is my race automatically selected as Terran?
