You watch a game between ppl who aren't the best because you feel emotionally linked to them and to the "sports scene" the game belongs to. I, for example, prefer watching any Brazillian soccer tournament than Europe's Champion's League even though the Champion's League has overall better games. If you want to call me racist or stupid, that's your problem! Thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard. If you find yourself having an emotional link to a player(s) surely your ultimate hope comes down to that player aspiring to becoming the best in the world? Why win a second rate tournament with little prestige than an event that makes people notice you as being one of the best players in the world? People talk about the money, and how its not "fair" that koreans could end up taking it all, but so what? If people want to take the game seriously then they need to step it up a gear, and events like this isn't allowing it. | ||

I find the quotes about Korean (mostly) and European skill lvls worrying. It's basically like saying, "we cant compete with the best so lets shut them out" | ||

I really hope they keep up the awesome production and dont feel like they need to mimic other tournaments. I find the quotes about Korean (mostly) and European skill lvls worrying. It's basically like saying, "we cant compete with the best so lets shut them out" That's not what he is saying at all. He's saying he still wants to grow the NA scene but at the same time wants to slowly bring in the Koreans and Euros. It's still strictly about growing the NA scene though from the sounds of it. Nothing wrong with that. | ||

He said: "Why the hell would you watch anything less than the best of the best if you have a choice" and concluded it was because of racism/stupidity. I said: "People have multiple reasons for not wanting to watch the best of the best play, in any sport, all over the world" and gave an example. Why are you answering to a point I didn't make? | ||

"I wouldnt play t becuase i have self respect." Even tho he shrugged it off; that's going to give Drewbie some motivation for sure. I love catspajamas his voice is so soothing. | ||
