"Swallowing negative feelings" is a terrible way to go about things and I have little respect for people who spout words in an effort to be PC or appease the majority. Its a dangerous type of thinking that suppresses rational thought. | ||

Not only in regards to players but there were plenty occasions where Cloud talked shit about David Kim and how easy the job of his should be and how much better Cloud would be at it. Just ridiculous. Well I guess turns out he didn't like the game all along, you know, one of those excuses that attempt to shine everything in a different light. If that's the case then don't compete for three years. Just overall this has the general average angry online gamer vibe of "Yeah? Well fuck this, I didn't even try in the first place, and if I did I could easily be the best." Disregarding best of luck in whatever you're going to do next - but players with this kind of attitude I will not miss. | ||

Takes more guts to speak up about shit no-one else touched with a 10-foot pole and getting chastised by the community for it than shutting up and pretending everything is fine and dandy. Dont think cloud really did that but he tried to when he did that vlog on casters. On March 21 2013 20:51 BrassMonkey27 wrote: Its his candid nature that I respect.

Yup, some players and casters seem to jump on every chance to be PC and basically screaming "look at how great of a person I am guys everything in sc2 is great I need to work harder this time sorry for underperforming but my job is really hard". It is laughable. | ||

Its a dangerous type of thinking that suppresses rational thought. You're putting a lot of negative spin on my post to support your opinion. Considering the various effects the things you say and do have is not "a dangerous type of thinking that suppresses rational thought"; it is rational thought. Whether you find a steam of thought narrative more entertaining and respect worthy or not. | ||

But when he writes his blogs/posts the darkness comes back to his mind. I wish him a best luck and more satisfying life in future | ||

Yup, some players and casters seem to jump on every chance to be PC and basically screaming "look at how great of a person I am guys everything in sc2 is great I need to work harder this time sorry for underperforming but my job is really hard". It is laughable. Except for the fact that Cloud basically called out people who created the game saying he could do it better. He did that for just about anyone, when he lost to a player, much like what IdrA used to do, he would say it was luck. He called TLO a faggot at one point after losing at IIRC homestory cup. That attitude takes no strenght to keep up. All that is, is a wall put up to protect the ego. Then him being protected by BW vets when he was calling sc2 ezmode is pretty much people calling him out on bs and having other people who have always been particularly venomous towards sc2 protect him. I remember Cloud always saying how people were wrong and that he did have results that other pro players envied whenever a forum goer would call him out on that. Now in his blog he said he didn't have results that he obviously could have had since he could be the best non-korean if he had tried at all, that kind of change up is something you don't hear from pros, you don't hear that the game is mostly about luck or anything close to that; Cloud's attitude is upsetting, and him speaking his mind seems to be more about covering his butt from people who had called him out than it is anything to really look up to. That is what I got out of the blog. I absolutely don't hate the guy, and usually I love his blogs, but the more I look at it, the more upsetting reading that blog is. | ||
