When somebody posts "hasuobs actually has the most amazing blink stalker micro in the world" of course people are gonna throw shit at him, because they just didn't have the information, which arose from watching his less popular games. However, in bigger Tournaments I always cheer for the more sympathetic guys. | ||

Do you really think there would be that much press for Jinro, and in turn SC2, in Swedish media if fans here didn't support him and instead told him to GTFO just because they didn't like his style or race? Now that's ignorant. | ||

I cheer alot against overhyped players and for underrated players, too. But I also like to cheer for our German heroes because of a variety of reasons that I don't want to get into... let's just say I want Germany to have a strong scene and because of events/casting with Take and the German pro podcast I "know" them better and can relate to them more. I guess I'm most patriotic when it comes to EU vs anyone else tho. Overall I still want to see good games tho, I wouldn't be pleased with Darkforce 6pooling his way to GSL champion  | ||

Just because I was born in the US doesnt make me have some sort of connection with idra, he's one of 300 million people that just happened to be born on a landmass with the same name. Patriotism is good and well when you want to improve the quality of life around you, but what reason does it have in games and sports? | ||

That doesn't really make sence. Person A: My country is so super awesome! Person B: Compared to what? Person A: Compared to everyone else! BOOM it's the same thing. | ||

That said, come WCG2011 (HYPEEE) There's going to be some nation hyping (Hi Swedish TL-ers) + patriotism! | ||
