I'm not saying they couldn't be doing a better job, but they made some bad calls and you are bringing it up after you know the result... come on now.. >.< I was watching the game so I couldnt post here. But in two situations it became obvious (even for a total SC2 noob like me, that makes it even worse). - when Nestea was on four base vs three with an above the average supply lead (one minute before the first storm drop) they were calling the game for killer. What the heck??? - when Nestea destroyed most of Killer's army in the big last fight and his counterattack destroyed Killer's fourth base they kept calling the game for Killer, when he destroyed the Colossi and the last mining base they STILL called the game for Killer. | ||

It is not an offensive and distasteful word, that is your opinion. A word is a word, and its context is what could be deemed offensive, not the words themselves, which only job is to describe something. You are making a case for that rape is a more offensive word than others, and that is based on your experiences and emotions with the word, and your associations with it. Well, he does have a point though. 'Rape'. Some words have connotations that come with them, sometimes even regardless of the context they are used in. It's not always completely in the mind of the listener. However, I do think 'rape' in this context though [gaming/competition] is ok. Usage and all. Custom. It's tolerable. | ||

You cant, howerver, Sexually assauly someone in starcraft 2 so its just counter-productive for the growth of E-sports to display such immature and vulguar language. When someone says killer murdered nestea (or whatever), they're generally not talking about in game actions. They're also not talking about real life events. It's a hyperbolic way of saying someone was defeated, and while the word assigned to it is unfortunate, to take the actual meaning of it is silly. It's also silly to say that because units kill each other in the game that means that rape is more offensive then murder. | ||

I just respect Nestea too much to think that's really all he can do. He sometimes struggles so much to "finish the job". Just lets the opponent to regain economic and military power, while Nestea is just banking a ton of resources not doing anything for him, and eventually his "trading" / throwing armies inevitably dries his massive bank regardless. To be fair, that is exactly a problem that many (less capable) zergs face - failing to finish the opponent, letting him back in the game. It's just... it's Nestea... and we are talking here about cases when he has gigantic leads in every aspect of the game. I'm starting to believe in the "Zergbong". | ||
