It absolutely excuses Majors actions. You would need to be an unfeeling robot with no empathy of any kind not to excuse Majors actions. He comes off a hard loss, having won the first series, a repeat of what happened to him last year and some shithead decides to post complete bullshit about his win. That guy deserved everything he got and more. Majors actions were NOT unprovoked.
His second post was justified but his first one was just stupid.
Well guess what? People tend to act slightly impulsively when something that is very important to them gets attacked..
I think most people in this thread can't comprehend how it feels for MajOr. I played professionally myself and felt pretty shit after far less important losses. I can only begin to imagine how this is for MajOr right now. Winning vs Taeja and then still getting knocked out by him... after which people start to discredit his plays and achievements? That sucks man. I don't think you realize how much it sucks.
I'm not saying it doesn't but it still doesn't justify his first comment.

Now, I didn't follow brood war much at all so maybe Major was really good in that, but through out most of SC2's lifespan Major has been hyped up constantly by many of the casters. Tasteosis has done it a ton. Apollo has done it a ton. Rotti has done it a ton. I hear nothing but great things about how strong of a foreigner Major is. So, people should like him right?
Unfortunately, this isn't the case for me because I don't know jack shit about Major. I don't know if he streams, I don't know if he has twitter. I never see people interviewing him. I never see him blogging or sharing his opinion. I don't even recall if he's ever placed high in any sc2 tournament yet? And no, I don't mean ZOTAC cups or random weekly tournaments, I actually mean High level LAN tournaments.
Hell, I'm an incontrol fan. Let's be honest here, he hasn't done well in a sc2 tournament umm, ever? (Sorry Geoff!) But I still watch him every chance I get. I support him, root for him, cheer for him because of how he makes me want to. He talks with his fans, does interviews, has a great personality and to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't told people in the community to fuck themselves with their middle finger...Same can be said for many of the other fan favorites. Scarlett, Stephano, Grubby & Desrow to name a few. It's why people love cheering for them and when they actually beat a Korean they get phrased for it.
Taeja has accomplished a lot (and hell, we're on team Liquid ffs) so when "Hyped" up Major who hasn't done jack shit for fans, hasn't done jack shit to make me care about him, beats taeja, then loses overall, then shows up and bitches on the forums...You've got to me joking me.
Good riddance. I would say you lost a fan, but to be fair since I've never known anything about you I can't say I was ever a fan to begin with...
Well I'm glad we are still having an argument about this...
I would direct you to Commandment 6 as to why Major didn't get immediately actioned. There is naturally some leeway when you know how hard the loss must have been and that it came from a place of frustration and anger after that loss. However, I would also direct you here to put your mind at ease if you really want him to be actioned, because as lichter said, he will be actioned. They are just letting him cool off a bit first.
Also I don't think TB meant that your opinion doesn't matter if you're just a guy on the forums, but if you shitpost and you are a random guy with no credentials it can't really be taken for anything but random shitposting and will be treated as such. Calling one of the guys who does the most community outreach out of the figures in the scene aloof and not down to earth is kind of laughable.
Anyways we should put this to rest. Mods can handle things as they see fit and if there is an issue with it there is always the website feedback forum. There is even already a thread about why it's bad that there is a commandment about forum veterans getting leeway or something you can check out here.

Take some time to cool off the loss must be hard but you shouldn't come in here and flame a guy like that.
man its just bs. it happens everytime atleast to me i beat someone i shouldnt beat according to them and its always consider a fluke or just they trowing the game. it wouldnt matter if it just was 1game but than comments like this start chains and ppl start believing that its extremly frustrating. whats the point of all time i spend preparing. if i win just so 1 guy goes to a forum types 1 line of nonsense and now most ppl who read that. believe that kind of garbage.
i am upset not about losing, i am upset because the way people in this community act.
Don't let the trolls get to you. You make the foreign scene proud!
Keep on keepin' on!
"Trolls"
I think Major has weak micro and he hasn't improved in the past 3 years. Goswser has told me that he had by far the worst placement rankings in the CJ Entus house. I don't think he'll ever be a top foreigner, and he won vs Taeja solely from lag.
Does that make me a troll? People are entitled to their opinions and aren't obligated to sugarcoat everything.
It doesn't make you a troll but your opinion is worthless none the less. You don't have any credibility, nor are you speaking from a position of authority. Nobody has a reason to care about what you have to say. You're not a pro-player, you're not an industry insider, you're not an analyst, team owner, manager, tournament organizer, caster, pundit, journalist, reporter or anything else for that matter. So you have to ask yourself, why exactly are you sharing your opinion? What's the purpose of it? It's not going to convince anyone, because again you don't speak from a position of authority and opinions are the most worthless things in the world unless you have some way of making people care, which by the looks of it you don't. Namedropping Goswser? Really? You think he'd be pleased that you're dragging him into this? Doubt it.
So what's the conclusion when a proplayer reads something like this? Well they're gonna conclude, "Hey this guy is a troll, because the only purpose of him posting this way to piss people off". That might not be your intention but all that means is that you're delusional about the importance of your opinion as opposed to being genuinely malicious about it. I guess that's slightly better but frankly unless you have some way of being constructive or at least genuinely interesting, it's probably best just to not post at all. Your opinion serves no purpose and ultimately just leads to people getting annoyed, so understand why it is that people would call you a troll when the end result of your post is the same as it would be were you trolling.
So every post by everyone who isn't a pro/caster/coach, ie, 99% of this forum, should just be "dude nice try! glhf next time!" or it's trolling? Makes very little sense to me, but then again I'm not a code S korean so my opinion obviously means nothing right?
His point is that if your post isn't in some way interesting or constructive or you aren't a well known high level player or analyst, then your posting about the way someone played the game is going to be read as a troll post. This means saying "Man, Major got fucked in the ass by Taeja, the first set was Taeja giving it to him, lololol, major sucks" is probably not worth posting if you aren't a code s korean. However "Taeja looked a lot stronger in the second series" says essentially the same thing without being a huge cunt.
lol at the trolls still trying to justify themselves. opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. doesn't mean yours is valid or of equal merit. unless you can back it up, it is indeed worthless. saying taeja threw his matches is disgusting and disrespectful to major and taeja. TB has a unique perspective as an owner of a team and as someone who has done a lot for the community, so he can back up what he says as well. So just accept that as a faceless poster you get called out and pwned and move on with your life.
