Who do you think you are to dictate what is or is not good for the sport, or how the pros should or should not behave? A large majority of the people who enjoy the entire e-sports scene, enjoyed this little debacle. Why on earth do you think you'd get to take that away from them? E-sports success' depends on the people watching it, and if you'd like to alienate a large majority of the fans, then I'd like to congratulate you on killing the entire scene. In the name of "manner", you'd ruin fun. | ||

I found MC's "boss" acting to be really awkward. Only in e-sports can nerdy looking guy like MC do it and get the crowd cheers. | ||

Let's show some class. Those cases are absurd and are great examples of politically correctness gone very wrong. I doubt you could find an example outside of any former colony of England. The rest of Europe, for example, aren't as soft skinned and wouldn't take offence to such an act. | ||

To me just the fact that MC can do a throat cut move and IdrA can respond to it by giving him the finger makes Esports better and much more fun to watch than these traditional sports. | ||

It helps break down the barrier between the players and he spectators because they show some humane side of themselves. | ||

MC said it himself in the interview with Hot_bid, he sees themselves as wrestlers, he loves adding some hype, controversy, rivalry and charisma to the scene. Its all to entertain us (the crowd). Thats why people either hate or love him. Its exactly the same with IdrA, i think its nice he sometimes spices things up with his BM and interviews. I get the idea people think he really wants to decapitate him lol. Its a bit similar to last MLG with Huk and IdrA and than some weeks later just hang out at dreamhack. | ||

I mean come on, it is just a huge show he puts on every time and you know what? It is damn right he does so. Even though I don't feel much love for Idra he never fails to amuse me - be it through his gaming skills or his BM. But besides: I have never seen MC leave a game without gging or something like that. Furthermore I believe that his overconfident acting towards his opponents is also meant to intimidate them. What did Jose Mourinho, coach of Real Madrid, say about psychology in sports? "The game starts already at the first press conference." That being said, you can be a nice guy and stick to the game or you can do stuff out of the game to confuse/intimidate or make your opponent get angry. Thanks to Idra and MC for such a great spectacle. Hell, gotta love MCs interaction with the crowd, he is definetely a fan favourite for a reason! | ||
