It works against bad players? I am all about pulling workers for a final push, rather than pulling them when your opponent is in our base. But that seemed like a bad idea.

Dunno if the questions get lost in translation or whatever but these interviews are always mega awkward and we don't ever actually learn much

Or is it just me

how does hating a player hurt sc2? players like major who do stupid shit like bming and changing names every week deserves the hate... or how about hating on orb for being a blatant biggot?

it's like in real sports like when athletes like kobe bryant raped someone or michael vick who did dog fights.. hating on them brings them attention, which also brings attention to esports, which is a good thing

I am not sure if you a troll or not but I will take the time to explain some things to you.

Firstly, TeamLiquid is a website that the SC2 community of fans and players use to discuss the SC2 scene. It is a place where Pro-gamers and other Community figures post and can interact with fans. If you are a player hater you are helping drive away Pro-gamers from this website and deter them from posting because of the abuse you give them. If you think that Pro-gamers posting here is a good thing that enhances the TeamLiquid.net Forums then actions that prevents or limits that is obviously a bad thing for the TeamLiquid.net Forums. This is self-evident to any rational person.

Also hating on players in a place where players get exposed to this vitriol helps destroy the SC2 scene. Players can get discouraged by this treatment and decide to do something else with their lives that does not get them bashed constantly. Also good players may decide against becoming a Pro-gamer because they see the abuse that the haters give players. Instead players should be given encouragement to continue and people should be encouraged to become Pro-Gamers. The likes of JonnyREcco was probably able to post here at TL quite happily, but because he is now good enough of a player to become a Pro and win games in Tournaments, he is getting haters bashing him. And look at the sh1t that is suddenly thrown at Scarlett or SortOf because they improved and started winning games in Tournaments. It is so stupid. Hating on players is counter-productive and harms and diminishes the scene, and this website.

Criticising a player because they do bm or commit crimes or hate-speech is fine. Bashing on players because they make less than optimal in-game decisions with incomplete information, while multi-tasking in a pressured game, is pointless and stupid. Also bashing on players because they lose (or win) a game is frankly retarded. Without the players there is no scene. So hating on players is a bad thing. If you do it, you are willfully hurting the scene. Again this is self-evident to everyone except the deluded. The amount of player bashing that goes on in TL is frankly disgusting and reflects extremely poorly on the Community. We are supposed to value accomplishment in SC2, instead too many forget this and just spout negative hate.
