Excitement oozes out of the Halo streams; Puckett commentating, players talking trash, BRs blazing, the victory celebration, the crowd (especially the woman that always roots of Instinct every event, lawl). It's amazing. Then I switch to SC2 and it's just....BLAHH. Even when Huk won, he calmly shook his opponents hand and talked to his friends and acted as if he just finished ordering a meal from McDonalds. Sure, you might want to be respectful, but you just WON. CONGRATZ, GET ROWDY. I just wanted to see some emotion, some excitement, some passion, anything! It's small stuff like this that gets other people excited and makes esports grow. | ||

You aren't celebrating the other player's loss, rather your win. Every sport ever people cheer and celebrate for their victory. Even in BW people do victory dances, celebrate, etc. It's fun, it makes it more interesting, allows you to follow a player because you like him and his style, it just helps growth of the game. To say nothing after winning a big tournament...kind of stiff if you ask me. | ||

To say nothing after winning a big tournament...kind of stiff if you ask me. I would say it is a matter of human nature. In any sport you have different types of people doing different things. There were rowdy and flashy players in SC2 MLG. They just didn't make it to the semis, this time. If you look at a team you often see the people that play offensive positions in a team be flashier than those playing defensive positions. SC2 is a defensive and very methodical game. It is kind of like chess in the type of players it attracts. At the chess tournaments I was at (low level) the losers showed much more emotion than the winners. | ||

HD and Husky performed better than expected even though they still have less game knowledge than the avg 700 diamond I meet on ladder. HD saying that he probably plays about 1 game per week explains it all. Just by playing 10 games a day, and never having played RTS in your life before, you will gain more knowledge in a month than those 2 combined can muster up. Day9 and JP had good casting with excellent humour and just overall came across as comfortable and relaxed. That trollface thing just cracked me the fuck up. brb gonna watch drewbie vs socke now  = | ||

overall, just sounds like more complaining and taking things for granted, which seems more and more typical of SC2 forums as the days go on. | ||

as for hdh, they just need to work on their knowledge of the game, like use flash cards to practice unit names or something calling a carrier a colossus 3 times is just kinda lol... | ||

I'd like to think that the casters did the best that they could with what they were given. You could see the casters looking around with confused looks on their faces at many times during the event, and there were some significant periods where nothing was happening in between games. But I think a lot of those issues are due to complications with the way Battle.net is set up and several of the casters and players being relatively unfamiliar/new to these kinds of events. As for the gameplay, I thought it was fantastic. The drewbie vs Socke games in particular were fantastic. Yea, there was a lot of MMM, but that's what the majority of Terran players are using right now. I enjoyed seeing how players dealt with those comps and it was sooooo refreshing to see a race other than Terran win a major tournament for once. | ||

I don't even follow FPS at all. I watched both halo and tekken the whole time. Both excited and fun to watch, i was literally yelling and cheering lol. | ||
