The sad thing is, would Goody playing against Mana and I would have posted pics of old SS Officiers sitting in a Tiger tank and posted crazy shit like: "Goody Blitzkrieg !!!! , The Panzergeneral fighting !!!" what ever stuff .... NoONE would have a problem with that...this is somehow disturbing me , seeing the critisism of my joke butt well thats not the topic here... | ||

Godwin's law struck again. In addition to that I think that such kind of "jokes" won't ever be appropriate. What happened should never be forgotten - and it won't. Although there's no country that's free of nationalists I'd consider Germany as one that is very devoted to it's liberal and tolerant approach to any kind of religion, heritage and historical record. But Germany won't get rid of the "all people there are Nazi"-stereotype for about the next upcoming 50 years. That approach is as ignorant as some of the Nazi-ideas: the idea of s.th. being genetically inherent in a certain type of populace. That's just bullshit. One said it best: the main stage is crowed with ppl. who aren't SC2 fans at all. ESL covers a lot of other games and especially LoL'ers makes up a huge percentage of the audience. AND statistically it's very likely at any major event, that there are a handful of jerks - especially in that certain age pattern concerning the "typical audience @ gamescom". Let's hope for some open minded guys of all different kinds of games @ gamescom, who even cheer for people they don't know. GL & HF | ||

If some people rly didn't cheer for Puma because of that, then they are just stupid. I don't see how we can blame Mr.Bitter for that ^^ the bad part was that the crowd didn't know when exactly to cheer for puma. When you introduce a player as a caster you say "and on this side we have SOCKE (while screaming his name)" and then the crowd cheers for Socke. But with what MrBitter said the crowd didn't know when exactly to cheer because "idon't cheer for Puma, I want socke to win" is not a real introduction | ||

According to the schedule its on stream 2, despite the times being all wrong they are usually still accurate about which stream has what...at least thats how its worked so far. | ||
