Because that is what is considered professional behaviour, and they've acknowledged this a lot on SoTG. Personally I don't really place importance in such things, but hey it's a preference thing.

Wrong, because its unprofessional. I'm sorry but swearing has and always will be unprofessional, that is just the way the world is. People just need to come to terms with that.

stay classy Implying being 16 is a disadvantage? I'd say that's the best age for a player seems likely as i cant think of a single player whos ever peaked at 16 I think in theory its best age because your brain is at his peak aswell as physically, BUT at 16 you have school and in generell not so much time to play( parents etc.) Physical peak is late 20s, and mental peak generally is mid 20s, even though some other functions like spatial reasoning peaks in your late 50s. The reason you see teenagers doing so well is because they have less priorities and responsibilities. As much as we might like to say that gaming is mainstream, it really isn't, at least not yet. Many people lose their passion also the more they play the game. Just look at NaDa. His abilities didn't decline because of some physical or mental diminishing, but because his priorities shifted. Let's also not forget the fact that Korean gamers are interrupted for years in the early 20s due to conscription. I think it's a bit silly to say that playing Starcraft is more physically or mentally demanding than say, Nolan Ryan pitching at age 43. If major league baseball players can still be on the top of the world in their late 30s in such a demanding sport, what makes you think that humans can't play starcraft in their early and mid twenties at the top of the game? I mean just because you say things confidently does not make them correct. p.s. SaSe has this base race in the bag
I excuse your ignorance.

NaDa's declining results correlate directly with going to school as well as changing physiological wants (read: significant other). It's quite difficult to lead a family and play starcraft at the highest level, that's why you see players taper off, not because of any mental or physical decline.

because MLG and GOMTV are US and korea, both cultures where swearing on TV is worse than killing a baby. unlike, say, most countries in europe. these people are not newscasters, they're nerds casting starcraft for a closed demographic of young gamers, it's NBD as long as the cussing isn't overdone (eg. constant). i guess you're not part of that, move on and realise you don't get to define the moral absolute or the definition of professionalism. that'd be fucking stupid, no?

Here's a million dollar question:
Is talking about ripping someone's heart out, crushing a nerd's face, or hippos having sex or things like that professional? And a secondary question, even if those things aren't professional does anyone really give a shit?
Also can someone explain Satiini vs ForGG to me?
