" the luck factor was a huge thing to consider" ? Damn Koreans, luckier than foreigners... Oh and sorry but... Spidermines ? Reavers ? Completely determinitic units, no randomness involved... It's so characteristic of a child who think he deserves a lot but "luck", "bad players playing OP races" took it away from him... I forgot about this wonderful line : " It's a way easier game than Starcraft, attaining progamer skills didn't take a third of the effort as it used to take before" Yeah, you basically forgot to take into account the fact that esports has grown a lot since Broodwar years... Korea is no more the only country where you can play Starcraft as a pro gamer... | ||

If protoss had an higher skill ceiling in WoL in fact great players like Grubby or Titan would have shined so much more, and many other protoss players would have won less. I expected SC2 would have been a much better game but it was designed in a way that never met the standards of the old BW and WC3 players. Some adapted and some, like me, didn't. It's not a coincidence most of the great players from BW aren't playing anymore (only Ret comes to mind, and he was most likely the best non korean player ever towards the end of Starcraft). It takes a whole different skillset to play SC2 and old school players have shown several time that they could improve a lot on this. Honestly I am not really convinced answering to people I don't know on an internet forum is the best way to spend my time, but since you have put a lot of effort in disliking me many times on this forum I thought I owed you some attention (pretty twisted thinking process, isn't it?). When I did say stuff like that on twitter though I feel like I was being a bit of a jerk, because every time I got hate comments from people I don't know I thought it was really funny that somebody, somewhere, can get angry over trivial stuff like a troll tweet. In many instances I just came home, was bored, and posted some flame bait just to see how much people would get upset over such a trivial thing. Either way, I don't know you but I wish you the best, it feels we have some kind of relationship right now. | ||

That said, his xenophobic comments and attitude make it so I'm not entirely sad to see him go. | ||

LOL, that's a fun way to phrase it considering you were the guy who wrote it. And a Korean culture assimilation rant to top it off, maybe you shouldn't comment if you have no clue what's going on. | ||

Korea is no more the only country where you can play Starcraft as a pro gamer... Anyone who reads the statement can honestly see a lot of that in there. I don't want to sully his goodbye with attacks, but I cringed at a lot of those moments. It's like when I saw NoNy go, I was very sad (he was/is a baller and he is one of the reasons I still consider Philosophy a viable degree for me, I love that field of study, because of his well thought out blogs. They showed a strong ability to think), but what made me feel like he is gonna be fine was because his statement was honest. Yes, ClouD has not been incredibly relevant, but love for something does have a factor. The guy is a community member, he is a dick to people sometimes, but hey he is who he is. I'll be honest that if any professional doesn't love the field they are in, they will reminisce to other parts in their lives that they believed were better and make those times into golden ages. I'm not saying that is what ClouD has done here, but I can see a lot "the grass was greener" going on in here. Is it bullshit? Yeah to a large extent it is, but let's not forget that this is a personal thing and not the "objective" truth the way a collective body sees it. | ||
