Why do you hate on something nobody forces you to be part in? Really, I do not get it. You want a small community and no major industry? -> Go play BW You experience WoL as stall and hope other people stop enjoying it aswell? ehm...news to you, WoL might not be THE GAME for you. To me you took the title of SC2 to seriously. It is losly based in the same Story setting as SC 1, but might aswell be Starcraft:Ghost, it is a completly different game. You hoped to relive your golden BW memories with SC2? You might aswell try that with Total War: Shogun 2. Complete different game, you might enjoy that, you might not. But If you don't, you won't atleast feel obligated to spread hate in a community you do not have to be part of because the title of the game fooled you. | ||

If you are offended by Destiny's language because other people might be offended and in order to preserve ESPORTS he must be banned from TL and shunned by the community is completely ridiculous. Its not ridiculous, its the only way to react to a immature "community person". | ||

I think the main reason I hate the whole "esports" thing though, is because on TL, "esports" has come to mean "SC2", and if you dare talk about any other competitive game, you're shunned to oblivion because SC2 is the almighty game that is the only thing we speak of here and the only true "esport" | ||

That's what you get for oversaturating the market with so many tournaments, the winners dont even matter. I actually didnt even know Dreamhack was on until I heard about Thorzain winning it. And I am on TL.net for hours every day. LOL | ||

Except that Destiny has explicitly stated that he never asked to be a community figure. Putting someone on a pedestal and assuming that they will act as some kind of role model because they're really good at video games is completely delusional. Pro gamers are human beings with human flaws and human emotions. The only thing they necessarily have in common is that they're really good at video games. | ||

In other words you have people who are getting paid by ESPORTS and people who don't give a shit and just want to see good games. | ||

Yes, a lot of bad things come along with an expanded community, but there are plenty of good things too. If you overly focus on the bad, they will consume you. I've yet to read a single post in that Destiny thread and have been consistently unfazed by the overly political correct worshipers in the church of esports. I just watch my favorite players compete in my favorite tournaments, and cheer them on along the way. I play from time to time, but just for fun and usually with friends. Esports is what you make of it, and you seem to be drowning yourself in the things you hate while ignoring the good that is left in the scene, and that's a shame. | ||

But we are seeing good games. This blog is a dramatic response, which is highly ironic because OP condemns drama. If anyone is sincere about "just wanting to play'", well big news : you can. Just today, I watched some When Cheese fails videos, and laddered a bit. Nobody stopped me. So what exactly is the problem? | ||

Yes, complaining about meta is still meta, but that's not the point. | ||

Like Snoop always said, if you want to do your thang, then nobody is going to stop you from doing your thang. However, if you tell people how to live their life and start to whine about the behaviour of a whole community, than you're not really doing your thang : you simply want the community to fit your liking. | ||
