The irony of that Breathe video being made unavailable in South Korea...

Making it so black and white doesn’t do this any justice. Yes, he cheated on his wife, but there’s a certain amount of depth to the human character that hasn’t been acknowledged. Perhaps this persona comes out of his own insecurities. He’s probably a caring pushover that does what they can to make those around him…

Listening to particular streamers leading up to TwitchCon, it seemed like the expectation was that they could get away from their consistent stream job and just hang out with other streamers or fans. It was going to be a time away from the regular rigmarole, allowing for a real vacation, and yet tons of people with…

The amount of choice and balance comes from the long-standing history of this series. The Gundam Versus titles go back a decade or so, and they’ve been a mainstay of Japanese arcades for about the same length of time. The gameplay hasn’t evolved that much from the last entry, and most of the suits have been used in…

IDK if anyone recognized, but you literally get over 1k feathers per PVP season, which goes for about a week. I got 2,000 for the first round, and I can only imagine you get more as you collect more medals. It’s still a long grind, but that’s to be expected in a F2P model.

I can only imagine being in VR and running up on that. The ship just cuts off and ur staring at this hulking mammoth of an opponent, wholly incapable of retaliating. My skin crawled just watching the video.

The biggest hurdle for Esports is that most every game takes some amount of knowledge to appreciate. Dota 2 is certainly still a game for the elite. There’s so much going on and so many things exploding that if you don’t understand the skillsets and equipment abilities, most of it can feel like metaphorical mush. I’m…

That you mentioned and adore The World Ends With You means I’m immediately a fan. It’s one of the VERY few story-driven games I’ve played through multiple times, and it holds up so well these days. I attribute that game for getting me over my fear of trying new things. Your taste is impeccable, so I’m sincerely glad…

The argument game is strong here. I see all those valid counterpoints you made, and now I truly understand what you meant. Impressive how open-minded you turned out to be. Kudos to you, sir.

Apologies, mate. I certainly didn’t mean to come across as combative, and I appreciate the thought-out discussion we’re having.

That’s fair enough. I’d say it’s more easily noticeable in Starcraft than Overwatch, but I can see what you’re saying.

It is cheese if it works. This caster, DoA, comes from casting Starcraft, League, and now Overwatch. In Starcraft especially, cheese is a strategy that you use for the sake of surprise. For examples, you can look here: http://www.blizzardguides.com/starcraft2/sc2-cheese-strategies.html

Ok, so to give context here. Liquipedia is an esports encyclopedia. It contains a wide array of knowledge, and my definition represents a more recent definition of the word “cheese.” Perhaps it’s not the original definition, but I can guarantee it’s the definition this caster is using. It contains the same meaning in…

Whew, I’m not entirely sure why you came at me with such aggression. He said it’s not cheese, and I was explaining the common meaning behind what a cheese strategy is. At no point was I blaming anything on anyone. Calm it down, chief.

It’s cheese because it’s a niche strategy that only works once. If they saw the bastion setting up, they could have beaten it. Instead, they were unprepared and he wiped the point out. That’s the definition of a cheese. From Liquipedia:

Did you read any of the comments or are you just going off on me? As I literally said in the last sentence of my reply, which you apparently didn’t read, I said his punishment fit his crime. For you to understand why I think it’s mild, go look at other cases of Professional LoL players who got punished. If I need to…

Oh sure, he should be punished. I never said he shouldn’t. I actually don’t know where you got this from. I’m just saying that spectators shouldn’t overreact to his actions as if this is the only case like this. His case was mild compared to a lot of others. His punishment fit his crime.

When they’re playing the sport, they usually aren’t punished for what they say to other players, actually. Have you never seen two football players go at it after a big play? They usually aren’t exchanging casserole recipes.

Apart from the article, I was more addressing the comments being made. I though I made that quite clear in the opening line. Sorry you missed it, I guess. On your points, it is a sport as is football, soccer, and the like. Therefore, they lay a precedent, do they not? That’s the end goal of eSports in general, so I’m…

Ok, so to add some perspective here for those cursing Pro League players for being jerks. Not every sport has their players playing against a bunch of random people on a daily basis. It’s not like NFL players go into minor leagues for their training every day. To act like other sports have much better role models is…
