Bogus doesn't waste his precious time with trashtalking or other useless bullshit, he delivers, wins championships and collect teh $$$, leaving the cool kids scrapping in the group stages for 250 bucks. All kidding aside, I feel it's pretty refreshing to see someone like him in the scene. I was really tired of seeing fake smacktalking and nerds trying so hard to get an attitude just to look cool on the picture. Being a pro isn't cool, you play 10h a day and in the end you play to make a living, not to become a poster boy. GoGo Terminator Terran ! Lay waste on the hipsters ! | ||

Flash works harder than anyone and is one of the best, but he gives great interviews, is fun, intelligent, eloquent, interesting, has many hobbies (even if, sadly he doesn't always have the time for them), and he lets his fans know how much he appreciates them. | ||

Flash fanboy much ? :p Ok I know I was kinda pushing it but I don't feel that Flash has a ton of charisma either, he's famous and loved first and foremost because he was and still is an incredibly skilled player. I just feel that a lot of ppl in the scene try too hard to be cool and be loved and are pushed in that direction by esports fans. That doesn't mean you have to force yourself to be shy and quiet if it's not your personality of course. The best thing is to keep it natural and it makes you stay real. That's why I felt it was pretty unfair that Innovation got so much criticism. I force no one to be a fan of his, I just think you cannot rightfully say "He SHOULD have sounded like this or that in his interview" He's a shy and simple guy, dedicated to what he does best, It's his personnality, don't hate him for that (I'm not targeting you in particular, I just saw quite a few posts that were pretty lame IMHO). Besides, not being super original or outspoken or socially skilled doesn't mean you don't have a personality, Having a strong/charismatic personality is but one "mode" of personality in general. | ||

... Actually, that's exactly what Innovation needs, a meme about his 'I don't give a *%&! and I will win it all' attitude. But then again, he would need to show some emotion in the first place. On slightly more serious tone, I still think his complete dedication to winning matches is so alien that it makes for great character for casters to compare more eccentric personalities to. Can the party boy "insert generic BM foreign player" beat the machine, the stone cold killer who didn't even feel a thing when he won the season 1 final? The man who eats, sleep, might take a walk then plays StarCraft all day? Very easy to setup Innovation as the titan, the unmovable obstacle, when he does interviews like these and bring in the results that he does. | ||

but during WoL I did think sometimes that if I had played Zerg I could have done well. That wasn't very subtle ;D | ||
