You don't seem to understand why people are so upset. You are in a position of absolute privilege. There are so many people who wish they could be in your position in your profession. There are not many people in this world who have the work ethic to put in the time required to make it as a progamer, but they do exist.
Whether or not it was two months or not is irrelevant at this point. When you say "well sorry, we just got back from our 2 month holiday", it comes across that you just take what you have for granted. It looks like you don't really give a shit. You've made it as a progamer, so who cares, right?
There are people who play this game in every inch of their spare time, trying to make it as a pro while supporting themselves or whatever. So if you're really shocked about the response to your initial post, it really shouldn't boggle you like it did.

Kinda like a..... Sports athlete.
Just kinda comes with the territory, always has.

I said most full-time jobs. Teachers are a blatantly obvious exception because they mainly only work when school is in. At what point did I ever reference them? I didn't mean to say it as an absolute, but nevertheless, it doesn't change my point.
If my logic is bad, I don't know what to call yours

Listen you stupid ass. I put more work into this game and this community at large than ANY of the "people who play with every spare moment they have." Ok? So if at the end of the year I take a 1.5 month break to see my family, ask my gf's family for her hand in marriage and cool down after 12 hour work days 7 days a week for the other 10.5 months then SO FUCKING BE IT.
I am SICK and tired of dumb asses coming in and judging me and making it seem like I don't fucking appreciate everything I have. God damn, GO AWAY

This attitude is always cute.
Hey, let's gang up on and goad a guy on the internet until he inevitably gets annoyed then complain that he's unprofessional.
Perhaps if said people hadn't been dickheads in the first place then the level of discourse would have stayed civil. Food for thought.

Dont take this the wrong way, but the only way to free yourself of these people is if you go away from this thread.

I have nothing against you taking 2 months off but my question is why even hype this showmatch, if you or machine weren't going to prepare for it?

If two months off was so terrible, the people that played non-stop would be able to beat them and your point would be validated. But they don't! So it isn't!

I never said you didn't. I said it was easy to make that judgment based on your initial post. You shouldn't have to completely elaborate every little thing you say, but that's what happens when you're essentially an athlete or famous person or whatever.

iirc, pro gamers aren't obligated to work hard for random people they don't know. basically, people are jealous that this guy is a pro gamer so they use the "2 month vacation" thing as an excuse to attack him? lol.

because of dealings behind closed doors.. teams make content. Imagine a world where a team goes "hey we did this event but logistically we couldn't complete all the production/games in a timely fashion so it's a bit outdated and was played at a bad time for the players!"
Nobody does that.
Put your pitchforks down. People were being unusually fucking mean to me and Machine so I felt the need to explain what was going on. At the end of the day what I am supposed to do is ignore each and every one of you. Which fucking sucks. I am the guy trying to keep you people connected to progamers. Making it really fucking hard to justify that.

i think inc. is a bit different from a lot of professional athletes, in that we have access to his entire life. the barrier is so little it might as well not be there. guys who play in NFL, NBA, NHL, we don't know what they're doing on their days off, or in the offseason. we don't know a damn thing about their personal lives. on the field, we know everything. but off the field, most of the contact is done through the press.
inc. has almost total transparency, which is something other athletes don't have. how would you feel if thousands of people knew what you were doing every day, when/where/how you proposed to your gf, etc.

It's like a lot of people just suddenly discovered in this thread that the only legit careers in life aren't 9-5 full-time jobs with 10 days vacation time/year that you're encouraged to never use.
If that's what your parents told you, well they told you wrong.
There are pros and cons to every career in life. Being able to take a 1.5 month break is a perk of Incontrol's. Want the same benefit? Then be a pro-gamer yourself - if you could cut it.

It was Incontrol himself who made the point regarding an extended period off being responsible for what people were calling sub-par play.
It was clearly a mistake scheduling a showcase tournament for when EG's players would be at their absolute rustiest, and given that, it shouldn't be shocking to come to a thread where people are disappointed with the level of play.
