I've been watching the stream of this tournament through a certain casters website, and while observing the tournament there is a chat box to the right of the stream window. This chat box really makes me lose faith in humanity sometimes and I'm so happy there is a full screen function in order to turn it off.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought that people watching games of Starcraft 2 would like to discuss Starcraft 2, but all people seem to want to do is just argue about stupid shit all day. The one that annoys me a little bit is the whole Starcraft 2 being better than League of Legends thing. First, this argument is fucking stupid because the 2 games aren't even in the same genre and secondly I don't want to hear about League when I'm trying to enjoy some high level goddamn Starcraft!
I'm not going to get into this debate in any detail, but it's fucking obvious that Starcraft has more depth and requires more skill than League, harping on about it just makes you look like an ass.
But the absolute worst thing I'm seeing in this chat, is the whole USA being better than the EU thing. Why is this even a fucking issue? It's not like the players care, it's not like the casters care and it's not like anyone actually at the tournament gives a fuck where your from. Even worse than that it's not even a case of "America! Fuck yeah!", the whole thing is swapped with stupid comments about how the EU is bankrupt and America is the greatest country in the world yadda yadda yadda.
I don't want to hear this garbage, I'm sure there are plenty of places where you can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in certain countries, but a fucking Starcraft 2 tournament chat is NOT the place to fucking do it. Discuss the game, have some fun, but don't bring your patriotic bullshit into the fucking conversation.
Time and place people!
EDIT: As soon as the chat got filtered to subscribers only, it was filled with good healthy discussion of the tournament and the game itself! Guess it aint all bad
