More terran please  Also, I don't think that too many terrans will literally hurt viewership. In fact, I think you mean that "too many Terrans will metaphorically hurt viewership. At least I hope thats what you mean. | ||

He doesn't know that there are multiple definitions of hurt and that they can be applied to both physical objects and ideas. | ||

I mean that if too many terrans qualify they won't all form a gang and start wandering the streets of Seoul beating up SC2 fans. Instead the GSL viewer numbers will decrease, which is being compared by means of a metaphor to a physical injury. The great majority of the time when someone uses the word "literally" what they mean is "not literally". It irks me. | ||

So you're just selfish and also are incorrectly being a smartass (as StyleD demonstrated). Niiiice. | ||

Pedantically: he said it would literally hurt viewership, not literally hurt viewers. So in this case, the word "literally" wasn't used incorrectly to mean metaphorically, it was simply unnecessary. | ||

Yes, it also irks me when people try to nitpick English when they're not even right. Kind of like that girl that thought she was smart and wrote "grammer error" next to a place that didn't even have a.. erm... "grammer" error. -_-;; | ||

Can we all make up and just enjoy some starcraft 2? Sure. It's just that the selfish "I'm Terran and I'm so happy that there are a ridiculous amount of Terrans, too bad for everyone else!" attitude pisses me off. I'm a Protoss player, but would I be happy if GSL was over 50% Protoss? Hell no. Even if PvP was my favorite matchup, hell no. Variety is the spice of life, and other viewers deserve just as much as me to see their race well represented and to see the matchups they want to see. Maybe I'm being a bit too empathetic here, but that's how I see things. | ||
