Why? This kind of rivalry and support happens in any team sport.
I hate Manchester United, so I loved it when they thought they had won the Premier League last season, only to lose it in the last minute.
Why is that wrong? It's just showing passion for the sport.

I'm imagining the entertainment of Huge AOE units in a super clumpy AI, it might actually be beneficial to not have a deathball walking around the map, much better entertainment.

Lol no, in his interview after a GSL match against rain when he got dismantled, Taeja stated that he doesn't think he'll ever be able to beat rain...
So yeah, you're wrong.

Whats the point in saying that. Taeja didn't miraculously get a lot worse. Other people just got better. Just because he used to be the best does not make him the best right now.
You mean his wrist dying? That might not be miraculously, but it certainly explains him getting worse.

wow a ZvZ on taldarim without one of the players going ling bane all in.

And with Taeja it's hardly an uncommon thing that players dominate for 2-3 months and then go on a slump. It's happened to so many players.

I never understood the SPL observer's fascination with Overlords.

It wasn't miraculous, Taeja's wrists started giving him trouble and his level of play dropped.

Its wrong to disrespect the player/team. Yeah you might hate MU, but its ok as long as you respect their achievements and them as a strong team. Same applies for players, I for example somehow dislike Taeja, I can't explain it, but I do know he is a great and solid player and I do respect him and his skill a lot, he has earned it. What he did was just flat out disrespect Rain.
