But is this really the way to treat a player who is among the 16 best in the world? The article basically says: he's mediocre, don't cheer for him, he sucks. This is even more painful to read when other players are praised without stop even if they are not in their best form. The community I belong to would never do this to a player on a professional level, this is just... sad, that you treat a player this way. | ||

Being at wcs finals doesn't automatically make you top 16 in the world. Also I don't think the article is implying he sucks and don't cheer for him. It is saying don't count him out because he has the ability to knock anyone out in his best form. but yeah my personal opinion? Few of these guys are nowhere near top 16 in the world and will get smashed. | ||

The community I belong to would never do this to a player on a professional level, this is just... sad, that you treat a player this way. I didn't read it as that at all. I saw it as pointing out an obvious underdog that isn't even a fan favourite, someone that not a lot of people rally behind for a multitude of reasons. There are obviously more players that have more fans and I would probably bet the aLive has the smallest fanbase in comparison to the rest of the 16 players going to Blizzcon. He doesn't suck and can definitely take out a good portion of the players going to Blizzcon, it's just that he doesn't have a huge fanbase behind him like others and the article reflects and laments on it. | ||

Nice writeup, you made me decide to cheer for alive if JD gets knocked out, the logic is: I get pissed because my favourite player lost, everybody shall feel the same. | ||
