Are you going to blame us because we don't cheer for people we don't know against people we know and like ? Calling people of a culture you do not follow 'recyclable' might garner you a little bit of criticism. Telling others who know these players, have followed them and like them that '[they] do not have a ton of personality' might also. Or just be factually incorrect. Saying that we cannot know them as much as foreigners when at least a few of TL posters see them more regularly in tournaments, read more interviews with them and generally can follow them more closely because they are involved with more than strictly online tournaments on an ongoing basis might also be completely wrong. And I do not think anyone really blames you for feeling the way you do. Some might say you are wrong. Certainly some of the facts you try to bring are wrong. Most would just say that whining in live report threads, be it about balance or nationality, is tiresome and it should have no place here. | ||

Really curious, nice story. | ||

Also, Major badly needs a single ghost nuking called Wilkins. ^^ On August 14 2012 06:40 Megaliskuu wrote: I like how they ignore the fact that JRecco didnt make any drones in that time and Major was ahead on workers while taking a third. Doesn't really matter considering he was on 3 bases and can make 10 drones at once to catch up/go ahead. | ||

Well, this kind of timing tends to naturally die by itself because of repetitive Stim without Medivacs to heal. Losing Hellions was a mistake too, he could not chase drones because of that. | ||

The great British sporting stars Andy Murray and Chris Hoy have let the rest of the world catch on to our ways. Mo Farrah too a little bit, on the BBC commentary for one of his races they were talking about how the American runner was a refugee, and then no mention that Mo Farrah is British Somalian ^^ | ||
