This sort of hate and BM will always be there no matter what game you play really. Whether it be COD or Starcraft one or 2 or even TF2 or something, people will always bitch when they lose.

I kind of doubt that racial discrimination will ever go away in the game. Players will always have a tougher time against a certain race at certain times even if they are a GSL champion. It is only natural to blame the game rather than blame oneself for a loss. I personally have a love-hate relationship for terran. As a protoss player I tend to really hate terran, yet I usually secretly hope I play them because terrans are usually very predictable at platinum level so it usually means an easy win unless I really screw up.

It's also natural to take a crap in the street, but people wait till they get to a bathroom. Learned behavior. Saying you hate terran because they beat you is frankly pathetic.

Maybe when protoss get more than 70 apm in high master i will try to get some respect


Over-generalized statement is over-generalized.

i have 130+ new-sc2 apm at the end of a game, and 200+ normal apm, being mid through high masters. can you respect protoss now? no? thought so. people with this mentality wouldn't respect protoss even when If I outplay them on every turn, in a macro game, on a horrible protoss map like Dual Site. you're simply blinded by ignorance to protect your ego

APM/multitasking =/= race

Whenever I lose in SC2 I don't lose to skillful players, I lose to the Protoss Deathball.+ Show Spoiler +
No it won't go away, people will always find a way to blame their losses on the race they are playing against, for zerg its the protoss deathball. for Protoss its the massroach rush stephano style etc.

and terran doesn't need to because they don't lose

idk its kinda fun to bash races as long as its all in good humor (which cant actually be guaranteed -__-)

I think its fine to hate another race. It creates drama which prevents things from getting too boring

i race hate on ladder cause i obviously feel butthurt from every all in. even in mirror i still flame my opponent, then block them. but in reality, i know the loss is 100% my fault. there is nothing to blame in a 1v1 game like sc2

but yeah, i wouldnt do it at a lan ever, i know its just a game, sometimes, its just relaxing to exchange words online just dont take it seriously

what kind of question is this


I didn't expect everyone to understand the context that made me bring up this question.

I also don't expect anyone to fully understand until you play a lot on the NA ladder as Protoss, and then go play on the Korean ladder a lot as Protoss. I can say I've only been "bmed" on the korean ladder (and by BM I mean the spew of hangul beforre they leave) 2-3 times. On NA though? I can factually say hundreds of times. This is in master league too >.>

The culture differences/ way the two cultures look at the game is the main issue. My question's context was, why the fuck can't we be like koreans and not be whiny douches on ladder?

I don't hate people who play a race I dislike playing.

It's a little hard to hate Zerg when I play Zerg. ZvZ is my absolute worst and most hated matchup.

I don't GG protosses most of the time, I just can't help it, I just hate protoss. If the reaver was in I'd probably be playing them though.

People are always going to hate on the race that they lose the most to. I don't think metagame matters very much compared to personal matchups. For example, Idra has always hated Protoss. He hated on P when ZvP was 40-60 in favor of P, and he continues to hate on P even though the metagame has now shifted closer to 60-40 in favor of Z. Its no surprise that ZvP has consistently been his worst matchup over time. While Idra is also known for his Teran hate back in the beta, he's much more muted about it now because his ZvT wlr has improved dramatically.

Will "Hating a certain Race" ever go away?

No, i dont think it will ever go away.
It seems to be embedded not only in starcraft, but in a whole generation of internet users,
It relates verry much to the age of people, you will see this alot less with people above a certain age.
Unfortunatly the age-group where this mainly comes from is also the loudest.

My personal hope for our community is that eventually the hatred in game, on a personal level, will go away with time. When someone is losing he will stop blaming it on balance and instead focus on the mistakes he made during the game

I do share your wish but not your hope, extrapolating the trend seen over the past 5-10 years one can conclude that it will only get worse unfortunatly.
Better grow a thick skin and avoid getting personally involved with annyone.


Nice thread btw,
The title seems dull somehow but i realy like the op.

Seems kind of immature to hate a certain race lol. If one race was much easier or stronger it would show in tournament results. Yet we see that all races win tournaments and that the top 8 generally are pretty even.

Some MU's can be frustrating at times though. At the moment mass roach seems almost impossible to deal with as protoss and I understand that lategame TvP is hard atm.

I realize a lot of people are being funny, but I frankly still cannot believe the number of responses to this thread that are basically "fuck T/Z/P".

You'd think people would be a little self conscious about race hate in a thread about how it's idiotic and killing esports and everything.

But it's 40% full of people simply justifying it. Hah, wow.
