This reminds me of the FGC desperately trying to weasel their way out of the sexual harassment and racism debacles by claiming that they're not esports. They're so grassroots man, you wouldn't understand. It's always been part of the scene man. You wouldn't understand. That's how we do things here man. You wouldn't understand. It's tough living in the hood man and that's how things are and id you don't like it then you're not part of our community. I wish you weren't part of the SC2 community. Do go play single player. Come back once you've learned that the world does not revolve around you and your funny and edgy antics. Esports will do fine without you. | ||

What happened to communities consisting of no more than 20 or 30 people, keeping a game alive? What happened to LAN parties? What happened to being able to call your opponent a "fag" without anyone getting their panties in a knot over it? I sympathize with the Street Fighter players who made sexist comments against their female competitor a while back. I may not agree with sexism, but they're just trying to keep their culture alive, holding back the flood of eSports. 5/5 would woefully agree with again  | ||

That is an incredibly twisted and cynical way to look at his post. I think you are the one who needs to gain perspective -- and no, all these people who are agreeing with him are not phantasms. | ||

This world is going through this as a whole...not just some community gathered around competitive gaming. Everyone has the best solution and no one is willing to give any slack to anyone else because they are screaming the loudest. It's a sad truth but everything is headed in that direction. Just because no one cares about your opinion doesn't mean you can't still enjoy things. Who cares...seriously. Whine blogs piss me off but that doesn't mean I should go and gather up my followers to complain about it. Play your game, cheese some bronze leaguers, have a laugh, talk with friends, eat an ice cream cone, and don't worry about it so much. I will never understand how everyone feels so entitled to things being their way. Bringing something up without making it hostile would be better than blindly raging and is much more conducive to that tight-knit community you want. As it is...this only helps to extend the divide between people by polarizing a situation that has no need to be polarized. These things go for everyone. If there is anything that should be called into question, it's some of the community members' sense of entitlement. I joined TL to enjoy StarCraft...I didn't join it to create pseudo-drama. | ||

I don't run around saying "killing e-sports this" or "hurting sponsors that". but, to anyone who does take this game relatively seriously (and not someone in platinum who actually enjoys making fun of new bronze players), "e-sports" is a real thing. LANs, online tournaments for money, and Team leagues are as close to the definition of an "e-sport" that I can think of, and those things are a part of my SC2 experience. this is something I would much rather be doing than playing a different game casually. as jinro stated, this thread and this opinion in general is silly. so please, stop generalizing the community as the vocal minority in threads like the -orb-'s, or Destiny's, do not represent everyone who would love Starcraft 2 to be successful. | ||

Remember when we were all amused when SKT made an English website with the word 'Esportainment' because noone took Esports seriously. If only we knew then how the term would get hijacked. | ||

Why do you hate ESPORTS? I bet you hate Elly too. Seriously, I hate people saying "the community needs to take a stand on this" as much as anyone. But you don't fight zealots with serious posts. You fight them Basically, some people are taking themselves too seriously. And your strategy seems to be to have a serious talk with them and explain that this is unacceptable. Or leave until they get bored and find another party to ruin with their attitude. I think it's much better to just ignore them and occasionally point out that they are being annoying. | ||

The whole "ESPORTS!" spiel is long-winded and demands from people a blind devotion to a game, not for the fact that it's fun, but because ESPORTS! Games emerge and gain popularity because they are fun to play. That's how BW first came up, not because everyone was focused on making it some kind of pro-sport, but because a group of people found the game to be fun, had fun, and then all of a sudden, the infrastructure was in place to culminate into a thriving pro-scene. It's incredibly annoying and is one of the main reasons why I'm put-off by SC2. It's a slogan that basically frames it so that any voice of dislike at things/criticisms of the game become some kind of "evil force" that's "killing e-sports!" | ||

Lol i wish you weren't part of the SC2 community either, your blatant hate for individuals is detrimental to any kind of argument you have. Come back once you've learned that the world doesn't revolve around you and your opinions...The world in general will do fine without you. See what i did there? I personally miss the days when not everything in the video-gaming world revolved around the pro-gamers. Does anybody remember how fun BW was when it was a game played almost entirely for casual entertainment? It was only later that people decided to make money off of it... | ||

ESPORTS is already a business driven industry with multinational corporate interests and is no longer an "illusion"...so your own dream of fuckitall will not come to pass. Yeah agree with this one the most. eSPORTS has already become to big to die out, and from this time period onwards, it will always be around. Definitely not saying that SC2 will stay around forever, heck it is already being beaten by LoL tenfold, but esports with competition and prize money will always get bigger. If you think fighting for a 50,000 dollar prize is a lot, consider other 1v1 sports like tennis, where the winner of a grand slam gets $2,000,000. So it might seem drastic to you, but in reality esports is still very small (for now) | ||
