This is one of the reasons eSports will unfortunately struggle for a long time to get the status of a "normal Entertainment" in the global society... You should at least have some respect for someone who shares the same passion like you do. Why do some people of different games do not have respect for each other... I dont get it.

Look, I don't hate him as a human being. I am just not a fan. Anti-fan if you like :D

I am also an anti-fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. And no, I don't respect him for sharing passion with me for football. He is the second best player in the world, but so what?

Then watch his SC2 games? ones where he stomps morrow 3-0 in lan , beats TLO. Stomps his dailymotion cup group winning each series 2-0 vs tarson, nerchio and demuslim!

I don't mind people saying he is playing trash in NASL cos he is but he is doing very well in sc2 specially as he started late jan

Morrow is a really great player. I thought like Idra, he was good because he was a terran. But he is a really good player irrespective of race.

Hopefully Moon and Sheth can show us something a little more entertaining.

If ZvZ would get past the first 10 minutes without one guy being insanely ahead, then it would be more interesting.

I think that's why TvTs tend to be more exciting.

Why do random people bash pros? How many real, big tournaments have you played in and done well? How many games do you play perfectly? None? Really? Shocking. Shut up and stop critiquing players who are better than you.

I hope you've never talked badly about a football player unless you play in the premier league
or a news reader unless you've been on TV and read the news.

etc. etc.

I haven't. I don't watch football.

Spectators can have their own opinion regardless of how stupid or shitty it is. They can bash all they want and you literally can't do anything about it.

Never said they couldn't. I merely asked why they bashed people better than them when they probably don't know what they're talking about.

except most of the things they're talking about are pretty basic.
floating 700+ minerals
100 chronoboost on both nexi
not making probes

So if someone bashing for this were to fight a pro level player, do you think they would do better? I doubt it. Multiple reasons could play into effect that they currently don't understand. No one but Artosis / Grubby understood. And even if it is basic, by calling someone bad that's condescending. Meaning it's intentionally meaning you're bringing them lower than yourself because you believe you know more than they do. When it's pretty obvious you don't.

We can argue like this all day. I don't think either of us will get anywhere. My opinion and point still stands. If you're going to bash a pro, you damn well better be better than said pro otherwise you look retarded.

I can't disagree any more with this post. This is what fans do, in every sport. Its what sports radio hosts and guys on ESPN do every day and get paid good money to do so. I can't play better than Peyton Manning, but when he threw 5 interceptions against the Chargers a few years back I have every right to say he played like garbage because he did.

QFT

The argument that you have to be as good as X to criticize that player is only logical if it is your buddy next door. We are talking about pro sports, where a mass of fans follow players. I am not nearly as good as Gattuso or Lampard, but I think both are trash right now.

Everything is relative of course. Relative to myself, they are good. Just like Grubby, but since when I am a standard to compare to pro's?

Exactly. These guys are payed to play the game. They are supposed to be way better than me. Also I am expecting a certain level of play when I watch them. Neither Grubby or Artosis played at that level tonight.

So happy Artosis won, Grubby is alot better than he showed though. Even though sheth's ZvZ isn't amazing I think he's got this 2-1.

That doesn't necessarily mean Grubby doesn't deserve respect despite that you don't care about something. Achievements are achievements on that level.

I hope neither of these players watched the Vibe Morrow games so we can hopefully not have a bunch of blings.... As i typed this i heard gretorp say bling nest, crap.
