She didn't include what her major was because no place she will be applying to would care what her major is. I got an AS (associate in Science) and no one asks me what my major was.

It has nothing to do with me trying to dismiss her. I just find it strange she doesn't bother putting her major and the college she attended (both very basic things to put on your resume). I feel like it's so strange it's possible she's hiding something, like maybe she really didn't do quite that well.

It says Clemson on her website.
Lindsey Sporrer attributes her well-rounded character to her parents. Her mother exuded compassion and excelled in the arts. Because of her father’s gregarious and adventurous spirit, he never encounters a stranger or a dull moment.
When Lindsey was 18, her mother was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and passed away six months later. Lindsey realized this could turn her life in two drastically different directions. Lindsey chooses to celebrate her mom’s life and turn the loss into an opportunity to share a message of hope with others.
Lindsey worked and studied in Manhattan, Denmark, and Barcelona. She traveled to 20 countries on 4 continents. Lindsey recently returned from Ecuador where she helped construct an orphanage and worked with poverty-stricken families.
Lindsey says that after seeing the world, California is the only place that is a perfect fit. “Los Angeles is a dream catcher and as a driven, goal-oriented dreamer, I feel blessed to call this beautiful city my home.”
It doesn't really seem like she's a dumbass like you're making her out to be.

will there be a rebroadcast of this for europeans? Nope, only paid vods. Stupid times, for GSL they have to stick to a schedule for TV broadcasting, so it isn't good for NA. But they delayed this for so long that europe basically have to stay up till 5 am when they could have played all games already. Pretty annoying. MLG was perfect for the times. qq ppl in america have to constantly watch gsl from 2-10am you have no idea how good you have it still Yeah GSL airs at like 7 AM in Europe.. Either you work or you sleep. Well DreamHack wasn't exactly at a great time for people in the US... You run into this problem no matter what. Someone in some time zone is always going to be screwed. Exactly it seems in every thread theres someone moaning about how x continent has better timezones when really it just depends on the event so we are all equally screwed! :D GSL is my favourite. I can have a lie in and wake up to watch the matches while I eat my breakfast. We can't win them all though, events happen in 3 main areas of the world, and for each event at least 1 other area generally gets really bad times. A rebroadcast would have been nice though, I don't think I'll manage to stay awake to watch both semi finals.
Yeah. For GSL I have to stay up til 5 am which is doable for me, and the NASL is obviously easy, but Dreamhack was a bitch to try to catch. We all have our bad times :/

Being humble is a great skill to have, unfortunately he doesn't have one bit of it. MC is arrogant. Being arrogant means you can back up what you say, and he backs up his predictions for wins at least half the time if not more. He has a right to be arrogant. Most people don't find humble to be too interesting, and it isn't like MC bad manners players. He just expects to win, which is a great attitude to have for a champion. You realize that MC does that for show, right? The arrogance, I mean. He's confirmed this so many times by now. Please don't just judge him on what he does to generate hype. Just ask Milkis - he met MC personally and wrote about how he's a cool guy whose supposed arrogance is pretty much an act.
I am not judging him. I don't find arrogant to be a negative word. I think it is awesome that he is arrogant. If he did not win, then he would not be arrogant. Saying you will win but constantly losing makes you a braggart. MC is arrogant because he wins, and it's awesome, I love it.
Really though, I think MC is awesome, and I see no correlation with arrogance and bad manner, so I have no problems with it whatsoever.

Or you're a paranoid jerk who cares too much and tries too hard to find flaws.

No he's not. I think MC acts like a social retard. Great player. Best SC2 player so far. But I've never thought of him as having any charisma at all.
When I think of charismatic sportspersons I think of C.Ronaldo, and even people who aren't extroverted but exude class like Federer, Schumacher and BoxeR.

His "arrogance" on the stage is for show, dude. He sounds a lot different in low-key situations. He's also probably one of the first Koreans to admit that there are no skill differences between Koreans and foreigners. Not jumping to conclusion is a great skill to have.

My bad. When I quoted you I meant to catch the attention of the guy that you were quoting. None of that was meant for you but I realize that it definitely seemed like it did. I first read his post inside your post so I just quoted the whole thing

MC's a pro-wrestling fan. He's putting on false bravado to get the audience either on his side or to hate him as the heel. It's all in good fun.

Social retard, that's why he's by far the most popular korean player?

He's just a whiny nerd that for some reason has a lot of Americans that love him. People like MC are actual stars in a positive sense.

I think it's really entertaining. Also the esports community need different characters, some humble people, and some guys like MC, that just makes it more interesting. And most of it is just for show anyways.

The only way MC acts the way he does is because his audience loves it, mainly cuz his audience consists of a bunch of 15-25 year old males. If this way any other sport there would be 30-50 year old commentators and analysts who would trash him for his behavior.
