Wheat is the best around. Definitely, to me at least, seems like the most genuine dude in the world.

The whole supporting (or not taking a shit on at least) other games even if you don't like them sort of comes down to trying to get esports to become more legit outside of this niche community. I play DotA2, I don't play LoL, it's just not my thing. If LoL is taking off a bit and I do nothing but shit on it I'm basically trying to sink the ship before it has a chance. Well if everyone is actively trying to destroy every other game out there none of those little boats are going to ever float and we all drown. That's really quite a stupid move. But if the S.S. League of Legends starts to make it maybe my game could be the next boat to launch.

We're just a bunch of nerds who like to play games. It's not like we have the world in our back pocket so shitting on other games is for all intents and purposes sabotage to the scene.

Maybe I got it wrong but that's how I see it =)

djwheat is such an icon in esports. I still remember watching him cast quake and atuff
If I tell you the truth you'll vie for a lie. If I spilt my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up. Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much. I can't live with myself so stay with me tonight.

I just don't understand this "less segregated" issue, or "esport" in general.

I shouldn't have to give a damn about baseball just because I like football.


Well it's a bit different, football and baseball are already established things, they don't need growth at this point just sustainability whereas esports needs to grow more to become more marketable and so they are just saying it would be nice to grow the scene as a whole.

I mean i totally understand your sentiment, the few times I've watched LoL i wanted to rip my eyeballs out of my head but if LoL grows SC can grow and get more exposure with sponsors who don't understand esports unless we keep flinging poo at each other for no reason and stunting the growth for both sides.

Esports has a ring to us that most of us enjoy. The thought of games anywhere can be enjoyed by spectators and played by gamers is amazing to us and thats why most of us are here. Lets just get a long and pretty soon the word Esports will become a household thing and if we grow enough then people might stop turning their nose up at the thought of gaming breeding serious competition.

Djwheat is very entertaining and a pretty damn genuine guy, glad to have you in e-sports

I feel that people who bash other games are trying to assert themselves as the more "pro"gamer in that their particular game requires more skill.

Ive played Fps/Rts/Mobas, every game takes its own unique skill set and should only be comparable to other players playing the same game. I have much <3 for any gamer and to each his own, I wont bash LoL since i play Hon, its just a different style of the same game that suits my particular interests more
