there are few worse buzzkills than trying to be happy for someone winning a big tourney and that person doesn't even look that intersted.

When someone wins a tournament you want to jump up and cheer for them but if they don't look like they give a damn then you just feel stupid and wonder why am I even cheering.

And that is also why lol is more popular, team show more emotion than shy individuals


I don't think LoL is more popular than sc2 because teams show more emotions lol...


It is much more popular for many reasons, that is def not 1 of them.

I meant the team aspect of the game. Like for CS. It brings tension and more reason to play/watch/celebrate because you have other persons to congratulate (of course there are many other reasons). But anyway it doesn't really matter

Would you like to be put in a crowd of people who you don't understand? I'm convinced First gives many "craps", but is rather uncomfortable given, you know, that he's in a fucking foreign country surrounded by people he doesn't understand?


Could be the culture ..but if I would win something like this ..I would be jumping screaming .. and having shit loads of overlly positive emotions. Wonder how they act in their home country.

I just dont understand how you can dedicate your life to a game and when you finally win a major tournament you look like you dont give a fuck.


Like I wrote above, their culture is different. Western culture demands (arguable) that you look really freaking happy and scream and jump and all kinds of stuff - Koreans may not feel the same way. Have considered that it may just be the foreign community not understanding Koreans (or at least the Korean culture)?


It's not arguable, what are you even talking about? I don't celebrate and get excited about things in my life because of the culture I was raised in. I celebrate and get excited because things happen that make my adrenaline spike and result in really happy (or crushed) feelings. It is completely natural and worldwide. A culture that teaches people to never be excited about their hard work and dedication doesn't sound so compelling to me. If that is really the case then I feel bad for these guys, but then again there are plenty of korean pros who show a lot of emotion when winning and losing. And as far "it may just be the foreign community not understanding koreans" I don't know what there is to understand about not being happy when happy things take place in your life.

The ignorance is strong in this one.

Some people have trouble showing emotion. Whether that is based on culture or the individual does not really matter - the thing is that you can be very happy without showing it. Not all people feel comfortable shouting and screaming, whereas some do. Korean or not. Surely that is not hard to grasp?

Zealously you are taking it too seriously, i wasn't saying "omg faceless no emotion koreans again!11!", just what i wanted to happen at that moment. I am not gonna disrespect the guy if he doesn't, it just was a bummer for me.

Of all the ways I've seen a tournament thread derailed after it ends, this has got to be the dumbest way.

Well I guess It's better than discussing if Stephano is the next zerg banjo

oh look, an overly humble korean with no emotions at all won a foreign tournament again


Well, maybe the foreigners should spend less time on emotions if they want to win something, then? Don't be silly. These guys are from a country across the world with a wholly different culture, and many of them are very shy. They don't speak the language and require translators to convey their thoughts. And you expect what, exactly?


An expression, maybe some indication that something fairly uncommon just had happened? ^.^
