But on sotg he often talks about protoss players like he could have done it better ion that situation. And now if he loses he can't honestly say it? He just gives his honest opinions and has enough of a SUCCESSFUL competitive background to have enough credibility to talk about strategy regardless of results he's been posting (same goes for Day[9] or Incontrol). People are too quick to discard opinions of great players just because they've had a bad week/month/year and aren't in a top shape compared to current top players. While not gging is nothing to be proud of, you can kind of understand it because he's obviously quite frustrated by his tournament results recently. Everyone can snap in those circumstances, it's not like he's intentionally BMing and being rude (unlike certain other players who feel they're too good for everyone else and don't care about manners, yet somehow still have fans). Tyler is genuinely a nice guy, the community nowadays is like vultures though, tbh these days it feels as if people are waiting for players to slip up and do badly just so they can jump on the trashing bandwagon -_- | ||

And that number will likely increase once we hit the more crucial games in a few weeks. Yea, I was expecting the numbers to decline over the course of the season then pick up approaching the playoffs, but instead, they're just overall increasing. That makes me happy =). | ||

I don't know why. But it is just like that. People are over sensitive. Maybe because 90% of the SC2 fans are just relative young people. We all know how it is when you don't want to quit a game nicely. But if you do on a public event, people will pick it up and hat on you... | ||

When IdrA doesn't gg there's usually a reason but Tyler doing it here was a bit puzzling. | ||

Its nothing new he just has not done it as much in Sc2. I remember that mondi for example had a problem with tyler because he rarely ever gged in their games | ||
