People like you are killing tournaments


ROFL MY FUCKING ASS OFF.

People who state the obvious truth from a neutral and objective perspective are the ones who are killing tournaments? Great logic... -_-


Not sure if serious



You are delusional if you think what BretZ said is any different from the truth. It's a sad state of affairs but it is the one we're currently in and the one we've been in for a while, and all he was doing was pointing it out.


That attitude of "I won't watch because the players are korean/show no emotion" is retarded and what's "killing tournaments".


But he's not displaying the attitude. Nor am I. We are just saying that it's there and a lot of people have it. You're arguing with the wrong person here...

Tournaments are not dying out, in fact, people complain there is an overflow of them. Look at this one, a relatively minor one, yet is racking in 30k viewers. And I for one prefer skill way over personality.

30k is about half of what IEM once had and sadly is becoming the SC2 standard.


Eh? Cannot remember many 60k IEM streams, especially not ones where it was clearly between Sc2 and other titles.

edit: damnit, meant 60k not 30 >_<

I'm not sure you can call it a neutral perspective. If your opinion is completely neutral and fine, why are you spamming caps lock and being arrogant about it? You may not be killing off eSports, but people like you are the doomsayers that absolutely no-one appreciates.

Anyway, TLO fighting! Doubt he can stand up to First though, he went 5-0 in his group.

Tbh I think Yoda was maxed that fast because he forgot to build an armory an made units instead


i was half watching the game so it's possible. He went really light on gas too with only a few ghost while a more conventionnal quick 200 would try to have a balanced composition, it was really a kill move here. That would explain the 30/45s difference with a classic 14.45/15.00 max.

The wink was because Yoda lost his factory before making an armory, so he had to remake the factory before getting to the armory.

What are you gonna do about it? Force every player to do stand up before a match?


I'm not gonna do anything because it's not my problem. But like I said, if you think that most SC2 viewers are not like that then lol...


Oh it is like that, and he was not just "pointing it out" he took a side. People are just ripping him a new one because it's frustratingly stupid the scene is like this and has been for awhile.

Look at his first post. He definitely does display that attitude. Which is why I said people like him (with that attitude) are hurting the scene/tournaments.

Just stating what a common opinion of Starcraft 2 viewing is. Never said any tournaments have died, nor that the game is dying, just simply people prefer emotion and story lines over gameplay. Never said myself
