I find that the bias towards some foreign players triggers me the most, especially when they don't have the results or are just playing decently well and not out-of-this-world.


all of the players above were/are legitimately great for certain periods of time

but as snarky internet contrarians, it's our responsibility to throw cold water on ppl's hype the instant anyone becomes slightly overrated


You could just support Protoss then.

I would not recommend dooming yourself to about 11 months of pain a year and then a promising month that reintroduces hope into your life only to be crushed post-haste.

Honestly that just sounds like playing Starcraft 2.

Especially when that one month period has everyone else telling you Protoss are super op.

Absolutely! What do you mean you're cheering for X? X hasn't won a tournament in days! In fact, we should make a thread talking about whether or not it's time for X to retire, because X is clearly a patch-Terran/Zerg/Protoss!

Does Kaelaris play this game? That SCV was running in the wrong direction and was an "early scouting". I am thinking he doesn't know the worker paths? (no hate, just asking if he still plays)
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

If the bias was across the board it would make more sense.

Scarlett and Heromarine hype for example >>>>>>> caster hype for say, Elazer or Showtime when I think those players all are pretty comparable in level/historic results.


Yeah, and I think that hyping up players and generating interest and excitement is totally fine, but miscalling the entire game / post-game analysis due to player/race bias is super cringeworthy.

Interesting that there is no neeb on this, but yeah scarlett really was the worst offender to me (maybe also because her dominant phases later on were always on the back of strats i felt were pretty op and she instantly fell off the face of the earth after they got nerfed).


If you're talking about IEM PyeongChang and ling drops I should mention that the only times Scarlett did that was against sOs in the grand finals. Serral and Elazer were by far the tougher opponents. (Wiki)IEM Season XII - PyeongChang

Actually this being Pig makes more sense as he still plays the game. I am working while listening and I am lsot in the voices(except ZG )

I mean, in the long term you're predicting Heromarine to win here .
