EPTSo in a way what he said might have been kinda true.
Regardless it's not something that can affect a person's passion for the game.

Well, I'm not sure it is the best place to talk about it, so if not, just delete this post. iNcontroL asked 2GD if he could apologize to Scarlett or say something good about her. 2GD answered that he tried but that he couldn't find her on Pornhub. | ||

I hope she keeps playing. she made a post on Reddit to the effect of "of course I was offended." it's been deleted since but it's pretty obvious from context what she said | ||

The problem is the lack of people to replace the Stephanos and Scarletts, not that they disappear eventually, because that is inevitable. | ||

Of course Scarlett says that she is bored, but it is obviously also a problem of lacking monetary incentives. The games were a lot worse but the scene was so much more interesting 2 years ago before this Koreans everywhere bullshit started... If foreigners want money they'll have to start training more. It's not like South Koreans are genetically more gifted at computer games; they just take it a whole lot more seriously. Besides, if your only incentive to play a game is money you're going to get bored before long anyway. A game should first and foremost be fun to play. EDIT: about 2GD's banter: what he said was only mildly offensive compared to things you hear on shows like Family Guy, South Park or House M.D. The Starcraft community's political correctness can get downright annoying at times. It's trashtalk. No more, no less. The correct reaction would have been for Scarlett to come up with a clever line to get back at him but instead the SC2 community decides to crucify 2GD. | ||

Okay, that's pretty shitty, man. I get that 2GD makes a lot of "harsh" jokes and I find them - for the most part - hilarious. But come on, you gotta know who you can rip into and how far. The type of jokes 2GD can lay on iNcontroL, he can't lay on everybody... | ||

There is certain stuff that people shouldn't make fun of. That's probably a pretty sensitive topic for her. Anyway, I feel that the issue is that pro-gamers should start taking better care of themselves (in regards to their wrists). A lot of wrist injuries are preventable, especially if it's an issue with her tendons being too weak like she said. | ||

Haha, classic 2gd joke. I don't really see why it would be more offensive to Scarlett than anyone else he could have refered to with that particular joke. Hell, I'd say that one rates pretty low on the 'offensive jokes told by 2gd' scale. | ||

Well, it will just turn into one camp calling everyone they don't agree with Insensitive, and the other camp calling the ones they don't agree with oversensitive. Anyways, this makes me sad. I hope she is going to reconsider  | ||

There's a difference between a general joke on a TV show and an insult directed at a specific person. And since 2GD doesn't play it's clearly not trash talk. To claim that shouldn't offend her is just kind of unintelligent, because of the fact that it specifically made fun of the way she is. | ||

But anyway, the last thing I want is Starcraft 2 shrinking. It will make more players less motivated to play anymore. . Even as audience, I feel less motivated to watch if the game gets smaller. .It feels like, my idol getting championship being best at SC2 doesn't matter anymore, or something like that. I really missed the first time I started coming teamliquid, for SPL match. It was so fun to have a team to root for, and all top players/teams in a single place fighting for a annual champion. So I hope, when SPL starts, I will get back the old feelings I have . and, regardless of many things and discussion I have read around here, I still cant find the exact reason for BW increasing popularity throughout the years, and the difference between BW and SC2. It is starting to feel similar the more I read and the more I watch. | ||

It seems to be the game itself, which is understandable. SC2 can be kind of dull to begin with, and doing 10 hours a day...it will wear on you. If she is not really motivated, it's far better to cut the ties and move on than to stick around without really wanting to. | ||
