^ People need to stop bashing online players, it's haughty and makes you sound pretentious. Online only gamers out number exclusively offline players by a good 20 to 1 if not worse. And most of the time the people who show up to offline tournaments are the same people over and over again. An offline SC tournament has a couple dozen players, meanwhile online a couple thousands players log on per day.
""Offline players are better than online players tho! All you'll be fighting is rookie players!""
Yeah, but what does that matter? Maybe people don't feel like traveling the country to play a video game?
""So you're ok with being an online scrub and not becoming a PRO?!""
Yeah, let us scrubs fester online, and play casual games with our friends, we'll still marvel at your epic skills on streams. I'm fine with being decent at fighting games without becoming some Elite Epic Pro. Now with new advancements in servers, ping reduction, and dedicated hosts, online is becoming more efficient. Of course it was a BIG deal back in 2008 (think about SC4's horrific online lag, and random D/Cs in Tekken 6) but in games now like Halo 4, it plays about exactly the same as it does online as it does offline. Tournament players can wear their merits with pride, but don't grind your heels into online players to try and make them feel inferior just because they prefer to play games in their living room... =P Sorry for the rant.

IJ, I know I said I wasn't going to talk to you directly, but you need a bone. so I'm going to tell you in all honesty.
don't put words in my mouth. I've actually read your posts a couple of days back, and I briefly browsed this one, and you misread/misinterpreted me then, and I got a good hearty laugh out of it. and you misread/misinterpret me now, and you just look sad for it. Don't act like you know me. Don't put whatever you think I mean on screen. Because I promise you. you're wrong. in its entirety.
whatever you said above... I understand, it's a rant and it may not be directly at me, but that arrow above your rant says different, so I'm telling you again. Don't put words in my mouth.

My post wasn't entirely directed at you. Just the general phrase or consensus that online players are not to be taken seriously, or are to be insulted for the simple fact that they prefer to play online. >:P

so I read that, and I say that's understandable. But then I feel that rant shouldn't be directed at me at all. Because I could have sworn I established earlier that I don't give a fuck about what other gamers do and how they play their games or even what games they buy for that matter..
yes, my reason is more personal, and has nothing to do with your whatever that is.
and with that, my meter reached zero.
goodbye Ij.
