''Offensive handshake''. XD That's a hilarious way to put it.

Maybe my memory is messing with me, but don't winning players in GSL and Dreamhack often go to losers booth to shake hands? Maybe I am wrong though.
You are right, and everyone knows. It's just the naniwa fanboys trying to excuse his horrific behavior.

I'm sure Vortix would've opened his own fanclub, but none is posting in that one. :-(

Sure, had Naniwa been crying or throwing a Hulk tantrum, yeah, Vortix should go there. But Naniwa looked perfectly normal. You cannot know what the other person is thinking inside, so it's still the right thing to do to thank them for the games in the traditional sportsmanlike way. And I still haven't seen you apologize for calling Vortix BM, i.e., player bashing. I don't need to apologize for my opinion and I have never insulted anyone. I calmly said, that I find it just as bad mannered as refusing the handshake to initiate it as the winner. As do MorroW, ToD etc.. it seems. Should they apologize as well?
Yes, and yes, you do need to apologize for your opinion if your publicly expressed opinion hurts another person, in this case the reputation of Vortix.

Redeye is by far the best host i've ever seen, i thought so from the first time i saw him but i didn't know his name until this show. Not that other host's are bad, Redeye is just great.

Are people really giving Nani shit for not shaking his hand? Vortix should've waited for Nani to offer a handshake or not go for one at all. What? why? I don't think it's proper for the winner to approach the loser for a handshake. For some people, it can easily be seen as rubbing it in. It's like a preemptive gg in a sense. Maybe that's the way you see it, but I completely disagree with that. It's just another manner way of saying "gg thanks for the competition". It has nothing to do with being bm to OFFER SOMEONE A HANDSHAKE. Treating it as a "gg" like you just did, it can most definitely be compared to an offensive gg. The losing player will typically gg out first, and if the winning player offensively ggs, it's seen as BM. Here, it's much the same, with Vortix offering the handshake. Do you see the analogy I'm trying to draw here?
Yes, but I think it's incorrect.
An offensive gg is the "winner" declaring himself such before the game is over. The guy losing, if indeed he is, by not gg'ing, usually thinks he still has a shot. The reason it's BM to offensive gg is because it's essentially pooping on the opponent's hope and poking fun at his perseverance. You don't see any football coaches (either sport), or players either, in a halftime interview say that they wish the other team would just not show up for the second half because it's already over.
In this case, the game was already over and a handshake is going to happen. It's actually the more humble player to extend his hand first, because it can be denied, as such was the case here. It's a similar premise when, in a disagreement, the first person to apologize is the one extending the hand, being more humble.
It's much less to accept a handshake, or accept an apology, because you have nothing to lose. Offering it first, however, lowers your defenses for a slap in the face, as little as it may be.

My opinion does not hurt anyone and you are being stupid here. If I say Perez drives dangerously in the formula 1, it doesn't hurt him nor do I need to apologize for it. Get over it.

I don't think the winner should approach the loser with the handshake, especially if its against Naniwa. I think it was actually not more bad mannered of Naniwa to not accept it compared to VortiX even going over. Not bashing VortiX here, just disagree with some people here. At least over here in the states, when we're playing sports we act like men, and win or lose--we shake hands with our opponent.. It's still better if the loser is the one extended the handshake. If you do it as a winner it can be seen as an offensive GG if that makes any sense. I mean imagine you just lost and are really pissed and want to cool off for a moment and your opponent runs over to you with a big grin does that seem friendly ? For me it wouldn't seem like that. this. also "we in the states act like men" - lost me after that to be honest. Good for you, buddy. I have to agree...You can't say "we in the states act like men" then expect people to take anything you say after that seriously. Dude, how many times to I have to tell you people that it's just my opinion. I think that it's childish to get all upset and ill mannered toward your opponent after a game. I feel that accepting your loss and shaking your opponents hand is the thing to do as an adult (read:man). Every single sporting team I've ever been on (soccer, basketball, baseball) we shake hands. I can only talk from experience and therefore I said 'over here in the states'. I've never been to Europe so you cannot reasonably expect me to know every little customary detail.. I watch ALOT of US sports i've seen quite a few examples of hotheads that need to calm down and be left alot for a while a devastating losses . Some people take losses harder than others you should know and respect that. Is it a bit immature ? Maybe but you should know who you should approach and who you shouldn't after a loss.
Sure, I agree with your last part to an extent, however, I was making a generalization of my experiences in sports. Whether you wanted to or not everyone shook hands at the end of the game. I think one of the big differences perhaps is that im speaking more about smaller sports leagues that anyone can play on, not necessarily pro sports.
