While I'm here, I must say that Tasteless must be exhausted, he's been casting all week, like he was in the last GSL. He wanted time off, but Artosis isn't giving him any!


I work 11 hours a day in my office, he works like 5. I'll show real exhaustion, tasteless has it easy, bra

also, need a coda a day 3 thread!


You also have to realize that part of their job is also grinding on the ladder to get a feel for the current metagame, and doing research on builds. Tasteless obviously isn't doing a great job on that last part, but Artosis certainly is. That takes a lot of time. These guys are thinking about Starcraft 24/7...I doubt you do the same for your job. Even though it is a game, I think mental exhaustion takes its toll quite heavily.


I'm going to call horse shit where I see horse shit, sorry. WORKING for 11 hours/day is much more intensive than CASTING for 5 hours/day. This "starcraft research" you speak of amounts to nothing more than playing a lot - as you said - and watching others play a lot. That isn't the same thing as work. In fact, it's downright entertainment. Stop kidding yourself.

To be fair, I did get a laugh reading your attempt to compare real world long work days to casting starcraft (in terms of difficulty and exhaustion).

Cheers


It's no longer "entertainment" when they do it for a living. There's a reason why it's called "grinding" on the ladder - it's not exactly fun anymore. You can already tell that Tasteless doesn't have the enthusiasm that he used to have for BW. Either way, it's not really feasible to quantify and compare the difficulty and exhaustion between your job and theirs. All I'm saying is, don't call "horseshit" and talk shit, when you seem to know nothing about their situation. Of course they 'might' have it easier than you, but there's no way of knowing that. I also got a laugh from your assumptive and prejudiced post.

I'm a law student, and I also do statistical analysis for a private hedge fund. There are days where I literally don't stop working/studying. Even then, I can empathize with the difficulty others' professions, and I never want to assume anything.


I'm in agreement with you, Qaataar. I wonder if this guy has ever faced the pressure of being on the spot for five hours a day? Working in an office environment is easy as hell. You don't have to intensively focus on the task at hand if you become tired. You can allow your mind to drift, go for water at the cooler, take a 15 minute break. I've done it, and it's nothing compared to having to talk for several hours straight. I sometimes tutor for 6 hours a day at 60 dollars an hour. The pressure to perform, say insightful things, and keep my expectant students entertained exhausts me. And that's in front of three different people. I can't imagine having to do it in front of 10s of thousands. Much respect to Artosis and Tasteless.

EDIT: That he thinks their job is easy is a testament to how effortless they make their job look. Work hard and say it's easy.

5 hours a day is nothing, try a 24 hour shift in a pediatrics ward, followed by a regular 8-10 workday. And I'm not even a doctor yet
