Today was so sweet. Comments like these make me want to throw up. This guy, despite having had by far the best results so far in 2012, is still being called out by everyone saying he needs to win a GSL. You can see how hard he tries, and how emotionally crushed he was after the defeats. If that makes you happy, something is wrong. I, personally, dont get the whole thing of rooting against someone. What? I didn't realize it's not okay to cheer against certain players. It happens in all sports. I like MKP but I understand those who don't. They're not cheering for his emotional distress, they're hoping for him to lose a SC2 set. It's not their fault if MKP ends up in tears (which is perfectly fine too, as he is passionate about winning). That's like saying we can't root against anyone who gets emotional after losses.
The fact that it is widespread does not make it any less counter-productive.

I hate him b/c I hate Terrans and the way he plays Terran is the embodiment of why I hate them. I think that's fair.
And yes, I'm a zerg.

You haven't watched many sports then. Even Messi just cried after the loss against Chelsea.

I feel sorry for MKP, I really feel like he deserved it. I kept my thumbs up for him all tournament. Congratulations to Parting and TaeJa!
What I find very odd is that people actually are judging players being "too emotional".
What is this, I don't even...

Touché, being an anti does definitely not mean that you want the player to literally be unhappy and hurt, just that you'd prefer other players to beat him, I think it's a pretty obvious difference.

Since the fall of MVP/Nestea, each participant in the GSL at any stage seems to have only a slightly greater chance to win than 1/X, where X is the number of players remaining. So in the Ro8, I would say any "favoured" player has at best a 1/5 or 1/6 chance to win the season.
People don't really understand how close the skill gap is at the highest level.

Of course there's a difference. That's why I said it's 'like' a person wishing for the injury of a player. When you are happy that a person is injured so he fails, you're the same as the haters. The common thread is that you wish that the person fails at doing what he does. That he [MKP] doesn't succeed at his profession and never does.
To wish bodily injury on a person solely because you want him to suffer physical harm, like what you're describing, is whole different level of despicable.

As I said, this is only the case since Nestea/MVP dominated. The very fact that they did dominate proves that SC2 is not necessarily volatile.

There's quite a difference between losing the final or even a semi-final than during group play. MKP cries after every loss. It's hard to feel sorry for him after that kind of desensitisation.

So to root against the Heat and LeBron James is wrong as well? Because we're hoping he doesn't succeed at his profession?
You can't have fan without anti-fan. When you root for one player you are rooting against the other.

Yeah... because an established bonjwa at the time losing the OSL Grand Final 3-2 to his mentee and next bonjwa is the same as someone who never won losing in the group stages of GSL Ro16.

That's pretty ingenuous. There's a difference between rooting for the failure of one and rooting for the success of another. You know this.
