You have to understand that these threads are generally over the top on purpose both to create hype and to create humor. If you read some other threads that follow the same theme you will find they are very similar.
But I agree some shittalking is in order. It's banter from both sides it can be friendly!

Shame that people are quick to blow the "HA, TOLD YOU SO" 20:20 hindsight horn - but ultimately, it was unlucky that they got 3-0'd after the creation of this post!
This game is very unpredictable at the best of times, rarely is there a case of a 'sure thing' !

But you said Life will win everything, FPL team is sad  .

This is a minor setback.
Sometimes you need to step backwards in order to get more impulse and jump a lot more forward. You know, like a handful of marines that need to go backwards and split because of banelings, and once they're out, STIM TO THE WIN !

This.
Honestly, what's the point of having a Proleague if we can't hype our favourite teams?

Alright! So I'll shave "PRIME4EVER" to my leg hair if I lose. I can't expect you to really eat a hat I guess, so what's your stake?

Need I remind you all that KT Rolster also lost one match in Round 1?

Exactly, and this was also a fluke loss. That's right, all of the maps could easily have gone in STIM's favour

Unfortunately, as opterown rightly pointed out, sometimes in life, you just got to accept the fact that these threads will always generate shit talking.
Just because it happens, that doesn't mean you should get away with it. It's like saying that people can be rude and inconsiderate because the world is filled with pricks.

I definitely agree that trash-talking should be a part of these threads. They make a point out of devaluing the other teams' players to make an (hyperbolic) argument about one's own team. It's all in good fun, but if you say that X team is bad and proceed to lose to X team, then you should expect to hear about it. There's a reason that people mock me when Roro wins a game or when CJ loses, for example.

I don't mind bantering or good-humored trash talking because it can be pretty funny when your team/player loses (and we all know how much fun it is talk about your anti-RorOism, which you inspired me to follow LOL). The problem is unfunny shit-talking, which you see some posters do here. Even PartinG was sorry/ashamed for his ruler ceremony against Flash. If you want to trash talk, at least be clever about it because a good humored person can at least appreciate it.
Plus, unlike those guys, OP at least put some effort and some fun stuff in his claim. Also, BisuDagger made some funny statements on how many Proleague wins SKT1 has. Even you stated how the title should be "Why STIM WON'T win." All of this hype should be for fun and laughs, not something serious and thoughtless that pisses people off!

That was shellbot...
And speaking of which, he sholud be very happy that Prime at least won a match. It surely was a weird start for round 2. I mean, Prime actually winning something?

Thread is mistitled Why STIM won't win round 2 since Life's ZvP is pretty mediocre these days and will likely have to face quite a few protoss players if they want to win the round. Do you want me to rename it for you? Instead of renaming a baller thread, you should be developing the Prime hype thread. Here I'll help you develop an outline: Why Prime will win a match .... They play CJ eventually .... GSTL Champions! + Show Spoiler +DAE MKP + Show Spoiler +Byun + Show Spoiler +Maru + Show Spoiler +Just build on that
LOL, this was the best post ever. Thank you for that.
Really hoping STIM show some good performances this round. While Mvp is in Korea, I hope he's played and dominates. Would be nice to see a Life rerise to stardom too. The only downside is that STIM have so many "A-teamers" that aren't really "A-team" material right now. This prevents us from seeing B-team players showing big upsets and overall hurts their chances to provide the upset of winning round 2 in itself.
Anyways, after JinAir, Stork and herO, I'll be rooting for STIM!

I want to see IU at an event. I'll be forcibly inclined to root for SKT....
Unless of course an idol I like more is rooting for any other team =P
Until then, I'll keep rooting for JinAir and hope that they get some more handsome players after their rise to stardom with this year's ProLeague win ;D
