Our last match of today will be ForGG vs the winner of JYP / LucifroN. Meanwhile viOLet is walking around without stopping to look at his phone. For me it has been a phenomonal first day. I hope for you too. We deeply appreciate your support (and constructive criticism).
np, LR threads are very good at producing constructive criticism

Rape is something completley different and it should never be used in a gaming context because its offensive. You do know there are games where you rape, right? It is not different, just your opinion of it is, and we should not alter our langauge because you cannot control your emotions. This is starcraft 2 and as far as i know, you cant rape people in it. Remember when "when cheese failed" used the R word in the first NASL season and the president of NASL had to publicly apologize or something like that? its an offensive and distasteful word. If you kill someone in game, then you can obviously point out that you did it. but you cant make the same argument for rape. Its about manners and common sense, not emotions. Jesus, this has nothing to do with manners even. Its about being a decent human being. Rape isn't something to joke about, its horrific and it scars people for life. Its one of the worst things that can happen to someone. I have a close friend who was raped, she only recently started dealing with it. It has a daily negative effect on her. I won't say much more because, honestly, it makes me incredibly angry. Don't use that word, not because you should be PC, not because people tell you not to, but rather because it can invoke the worst thing that has ever happened to a person. .
My father died recently, so the word death is naturally potentially upsetting for me, or phrases like 'wow you nearly gave me a heart attack', should people stop saying things on the off-chance that it can upset or offend?

He got spanked by MVP and beat Oz/Ace

ForGG probably going to be the last player to advance I guess. JYPvT has improved but I still don't trust him in that mu.

Ghosts are really tanky and have a good dps against zealots, moreover emp is pretty good and they don't take additionnal damage from Stalker. In a perfect world all your bio units would be ghosts late game.

Lets not use words like cancer, divorce, stillborn or slaughter either, because it can bring up bad memories for people whom those words have a special meaning.

JYP is pretty good in normal/macro games vs Terran, but his crisis management/cheese defense isn't that good. ForGG will be tough.

we need more people to tell him that grubby beat ace and oz

This song has to be the winner of "Dumbest lyrics ever".

If you kill someone in game, then you can obviously point out that you did it. but you cant make the same argument for rape. Its about manners and common sense, not emotions. It is emotions, because you are immediately using the definition of forcefully having sex with someone, while rape can mean everything from abuse to violate and plunder etc. You can rape someones base in SC2 for instance. 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. The guy is obviously trolling..If someone wants to say 'rape' or 'butt molested', thats his/her choice..You asking will only make them say it more.
Yes, but someday someone they love will be affected in this way and they'll be the ones that prefer others not to use this slang/terminology. Just grow up and use a better word that doesn't involve imagery of someone forcibly violating someone.

They also have negative DPS (well, not negative, but 1/3 of unstimmed 1/5 of stimmed marine per supply when 3/3).
