Way too little resemblance to the Unabomber, so no

HAY GUYZ WE PLAY STARCRAFT 2!!!!!!! Why is it embarrassing? It's like the half time show of an NFL game where they let the little 6 year olds who barely know how to run without falling down play. Everybody is like "aww look at them trying, it's so cute!"
no its not. you're trippin.

User was warned for this post first, this is usa. second, usa is one country so don't compare it to europe. If you compare it population-wise though, we really are pretty bad. its only equivalent to a few countries. besides, you have to take the culture into account  Well, USA has a population of like 312 million, Sweden has 10 million. And you could make very good arguments for them being on par. But then UK has 62 million and only two good players so I can't really talk. Higher population, yes. Also a larger country with events all over it, money being a factor, it is very difficult to break out in America without having a favorable situation. By your logic though, China should have the best players in the world just because they have the largest pop.
Not really, not by my logic no. Did you read what I was replying to at all? We weren't talking about culture.
One person said by population the US is really bad, and that's all we're talking about. Another responded the US is only equivalent to a few countries, and my point was it's equivalent to 31.2 Swedens, so by population it's really bad.
Obviously there is a reason for it... and that reason is culture.

Gratz Vibe, you deserved it... but gotta say winning this was a bit of a surprise, but pleasant one.

The winner of USA WCS was someone who hasn't really done anything of late but play Diablo 3 since its release. As Martin Tyler once said 'THAT sums it all up.'

Bo5.
If Alicia wins the Bo5, then the series automatically becomes a Bo9 with Alicia at 3 and DRG at whatever wins he has at that time. If DRG wins three first, he's champion.

It's cool because on in the LR threads you can be hipster by being positive

The culture part is pretty big though. US population is 30 times the size of sweden, or 6 times of ukraine. pretty funny. has nothing to do with population. its about culture. progaming has been accepted in europe for a longer time than it has in the US. its just starting to be accepted in the US. pro gaming is still a joke to almost everyone. Actuallly CNBC recently invested in Esports and that would certainly weaken your case that pro gaming is a joke to almost everyone. Esports is growing and will become more accepted and understood over the next few years. since when was nbc almost everyone You think that CNBC would invest in something that didn't have the potential to draw a big crowd and big money? Inherent in this statement is the assumption that what draw big crowds and big money is generally accepted by more than just a few people, as you suggest. when did CNBC invest in esports? All i saw them do is write a terrible article about CBSi picking up the advertising

The past few pages of this LR have been fucking depressing. Too much hate and negativity.

haha this Sub Zero straight up turtling like mad.

No, it actually isn't. Vibe and Daisuki are both about a million times better than you, and could certainly hold their own in most foreign tournaments.
Stop this self-loathing elitist bullshit. Just because an athlete isn't among the maybe 30 best players in the world doesn't make him an untalented scrub.

maybe everyone he beat had spent even more time on D3 than he did.

Vibe is a cool guy, but can't say I'm too impressed by that tournament tree.
The german WCS just a few weeks ago seemed like a much tougher competition...

this guy is right. i don't see how you guys don't see it. there's a reason why koreans are dominant. its not because of their population.

Kind a hard to get excited for players like vibe when jaedong who has less then 2months of sc2 experience has way better macros/micro then these NA finalist.
