I'm sorry, did you just call Seed queer? And while I appreciate the effort you put into the preview, I think you're missing a certain professionalism. Granted we all have our favourite players and teams, but I would think that if you're providing a preview, you would at least care to make it partially unbiased (i.e. Taeja - yes I know he's on liquid and you have to hype him. Just don't go overboard).

Otherwise, good read.

I agree, that queer sentence is so out of place and it makes no sense, unless Seed IS actually gay.
I just don't get it.

I hope I'm not beating on a dead horse here but I would ignore most of these criticisms. I write both technical papers and entertaining pieces and as such I know the difference between the two. That's not to say you couldn't use an editor (I need one frequently) but I wouldn't worry about using the phrase "right now" or similar critiques. (And don't worry about using 'because' to begin a sentence. Because people aren't always aware of how it can be used, I always chuckle when it's described as an untouchable header). Neohageleon a good poster and you should keep some of his criticisms in mind, but I would work on making your writing as stylistic and entertaining as possible.

That being said, I would like it if was cleaned up a little (IE use ellipses sparingly, write only one or two words in all caps, etc). If you write something like you would say it out loud, ambiguities can arise where inflection and tone would normally help.

Hope that helped.
Edit: It looks prehty!



You might want to clarify which ones besides "because header," else your opinion comes across as ambivalent and confusing.

"make your writing as stylistic and entertaining as possible" . . . "[but] I would like it if it was cleaned up a little". There's nothing ambivalent about that. It's ambiguous, yeah, but only because Seeker can decide which criticisms he wants to listen to and which he wants to ignore. I'm refining your criticisms, therefore it would be redundant to say this specific sentence sounds good and this one does not. Instead I'm saying only to care marginally about those things, while focuses on the narration (Which I think could be even more stylistic)

Also some of things that you thought were were (and I'd list them if I cared) were either not a big deal or were actually grammatically correct.

too much stuff in the OP for me
maybe put spoilers under the player name with your paragraph inside it? so it's still there for those who want to read it

T-T..... this is so not how I expected things to turn out.

Ever since day 1 of my Live Reporting back in November, I've always tried to add quirky little things into my OPs. It's just who I am. I like to see ppl laugh and smile.

I honestly just don't give a crap about making it look professional. Why would I do that? Do I get paid? Am I rewarded in some way? Am I going to get recognized by some writing company?

No.

You know what I AM going to get? Laughter and joy from my viewers. Hype for the upcoming matches. And most important of all, we all feel like family.

My intention was not to make this into a joke. It was to get everyone close and laughing and having a good time,

From here on out, I will not be adjusting myself to satisfy the complainers. I'll still take criticism and feedback and change things if it is indeed a problem. But from what I can tell, the majority of the people like what I do. I'm sorry but that's just the way it is.

I am not perfect. Nor can I satisfy everyone. Please just try to understand why I do things the way I do them.

No, I'm not going to do that. I put it that way on purpose with no spoilers cause I want it to be the first thing people see. So that it gets them hyped.

Yeah, sign.

I like those writeups though. Nice work, Seeker. But the OP should look clean. Maybe put it in the second post?

So much ado over an OP that will be forgotten after a few days, only to be replaced with a new one...is this something that is really important? Or are we just looking for things to nit-pick?
