I used to play RS and this happen to me since i had a youtube acc plus leader of a clan. But yeh i mean there are ways communicating to top players w/o messaging them in game like in TL in particular or the clan/team site the player is on I think that is more suitable and polite way of doing things | ||

But then most of the time it is annoying, because of the way bnet messaging works. A better way is just leave a message for them through other methods that doesn't involve a blinking alert on their screen. I agree with this, plenty of them are on here and/or other sc2 forums, contacting them via these means would be infinitely less annoying than through bnet (especially if they're playing). | ||

Even though there are a lot of guys who are nice and will answer you, this is just because they are nice not because it is not annoying. Instead if you are really a fan just visit a live tournament sometime it is a much nicer setting to meet a player and ask him some questions. I think in most cases a lot of people dont live close to an area where a lot of major tournaments go down...But even then I think if you want to speak with a pro etc, use forums or even watch there streams. Ive seen pro's chat with there stream viewers all the time. In the case that you do message a pro player, keep it short, show your appreciation and bounce, if they want to respond they will if not, they got your message and thats enough. You can learn just as much if not more from watching there tournament play or replays as you can busting into there pratcise time to ask 1 question. | ||

BEWARE! Some pros can be very aggressive so petting them is not advised. | ||

Otherwise what is to stop somebody from messaging their favorite player during the game from watching the stream? "Hidden exp at 12 o clock." During MLG somebody in #teamliquid IRC claimed to have done this, and the player in question immediately went to scout for hidden expos. Seems fucking lame if that's true. What would stop a player from watching or listening to a stream while he plays the game? In live tournaments you must set the state to busy or you can get disqualified. | ||

and Battle.net 2.0 is garbage. There's a reason why there are LAN events for fans to show their support to their favorite players. I prefer the progamers smurfing online instead of the ladder+LAN intergration. | ||

EDIT: After noticing TLO's post I must admit that my post was more designed towards lesser known players, who can really benefit from the support. Big names will just have too many messages, it's better to simply post a comment in a Fanclub thread. | ||

You wouldnt want to get spammed by randoms while trying to play a game of starcraft and its probably the same thing for them. | ||

I have also talked with Lalush once or twice because I played him on ladder right after he got his NA account and had a low MMR. I assumed he was a smurf until he crushed me. He gave me some really awesome tips. I play Protoss >_> | ||

I would suggest approaching slowly with some nuts or berries in your hand, kneeling down and waiting for the pro to come to you. If they begin eating out of your hand then it's safe to tell them how much you "wuv" them and how much they mean to you. BEWARE! Some pros can be very aggressive so petting them is not advised. Where's that "like" button when you need it? XD Personally, I'd be too chicken/starstruck to message a pro on bnet, because who am I to try to talk to them? I'm just a little newbie bronze! Though if I saw them in person at an event, I would definitely jump at the chance to say hi and let them know I'm a fan. ^^ | ||

IdrA doesn't respond to "Fanboi messages" as i call them but sometimes he does respond when i ask him about patches and his thoughts when he just logs on to NA server but that was months ago so he will probably flame you now.

If you want to show your appreciation for a player, or your out of control fan-boyism make a post on one of the many threads here, create some fan art, compose a song, watch their games... | ||
