My apologises to the admins if this is a bit of a wasted thread, >< just thought he deserved a bit of recognition for all the hard work and dedication he put into achieving .
Well done man Next up and coming from New Zealand ;D
Edit: Just realised I put a "D" instead of a "T" Sigh* One of those days. But well done Chris man ^^
Sorry for being negative but i dont see Ninja opening a thread to celebrate beating nestea, so what's so important about SEA GM.
Edit: To stitch, please elaborate by explaining why is it a huge disgrace, i dont feel the point of this thread and i am just stating out my opinion. I dont insult EvE whenever you do things wrong. Shoot the person, not the team. TY

Congradulations Chris lol spartaz spelling fail :P. About time my teacher got GM :P . I remember my first victory against you because you got so upset at the fact I would make dts how time chan....... hang on a minute you still hate dts :P. Anyway Chris well done I'll tell your family I'm sure they will be keen to hear about how awesome at sc2 you are getting instead of becoming a big fancy Doctor.
Also ProAnnn just because ninja didn't make a thread to announce his awesome victory doesn't mean someone elses accomplishment worth less. Also he didn't start it himself and its a goal he has been working for and should feel good about it.
As to ninja having a thread for beating Nestea you can make one I'd gladly sign up to a ninja Fanclub thread. Heck I'm a fanboy (also we could make ninja jokes!!!)

dude wtf there's so much mindless shit that gets posted here that i wanna troll the hell out of but dont because its not that kind of community, so why downplay peoples achievements? However little they seem to you. His friends wanted to congratulate him.
what ninja did was ******* amazing. go make a thread for him. Ill post in that too

Whats so important about SEA GM?...Oh wait i thought you showed off to the whole world on your facebook cover picture you're ranked 8 GM.
Dont shit over on other people's achievement man. No matter how small their achievement is to you, it would mean differently to them and their friends. Besides, it wasnt even him opening the thread but his supportive friends who were encouraging and supporting his hardwork on his road to GM.
Its threads like this that shows and promote the camaraderie and love between the sc2sea players. Dont break it man.
Grats Cabracan!! Yay to more terrans in SEA

That's like my facebook page? You dont see me posting that in this forum? Seriously, if everyday one person post their friend's promotion to GM you would see full of trash threads, i wonder if BAKA approves of this thread, his the best 'fair' moderator that moderate this thread. I literally did not post my GM picture on everyone's wall or something so yeah.
And there is a house clan thread if you want to post it for your own teammate. If i post every single eehan member getting GM, i think you guys wouldnt GRATZ but SHOWOFF instead.
I finally understand why some people of this bias community.
I'm just trying to state that you can actually put this in the blog or something. Pulling out my facebook page is totally irrelevant.

rofl. why do you even have to come in here and say anything then?
seems redundant to me, why come and be a dickbag in someones thread celebrating their achievement.
just don't post, because noone cares what crap you have to throw around mate.

I'm just stating out my opinion in a public forum, i remember sudragon or someone's thread getting closed for a GM thread
you dont see how someone made a thread for their friend who has worked his ass off to get to GM to congratulate him is different from someone making a thread to brag about being better than others?
you mate, are a jabroni.
Chris didn't start this thread about himself. That is the difference.
i just dont get why both are similar threads yet have TOTALLY different opinions. 1 is YOUR BRAGGING, the other is CONGRATULATIONS.
that was a self promotion thread though by from what i read someone who cheesed his way to gm and was there early in the season. This was a friend saying congratulations to him which is why its ok. It's pretty much is the thread hurting anyone or being a douche? no then fine if people are enjoying the content and someone is happy and proud of their achievement why would you close that? compared to someone bragging (maybe a troll taken the wrong way) that people seem to be getting angry in and could make some bad blood in the community should we shut it down?
Basically the moderators are trying to keep this environment nice and friendly. Thankfully the rest of the community wants to too as you can tell from the rep system which generally works

Fair enough.
What my main point is(maybe i didnt stated it clear enough) is that this type of thread would generally be in Blogs? Or just personally congratulate him online or something. Is is REALLY necessary to create a thread to congratulate him on sc2sea? I'm not trying to say that its wrong to congratulate people for achieving their goals but if everyone follows him and just post a thread for everyone that promotes to master/gm/whatever their goals are, they would be full of this type of threads.
I like this kind of thing on the forums. There should always be a place to be positive and nice to people and that should never be questioned.
We are a small, tight knit and loving community who should all celebrate our victories together and be supportive of others achievements. When one person in SEA does something amazing it shines through on all of us.
I don't see why it needs to be justified to be nice and congratulate someone, or why this thread had to be turned into bickering and bringing down peoples achievements.
Enough bad shit happens in SC2, enough drama and fighting and hate. The thing I love about this forum over every other forum is that people here give a shit about each other.
If that isn't what you are like, then either don't reply to a thread or don't read it, it's not that hard.

yea I get what you mean probably the way you stated it got people angry though . I think blog is more a personally thing though which is why a thread got created. Also I don't think all threads need to be super serious. For example there's threads like this which are happy and proud of ours players for doing something and letting people have a bit of fun. If you had every thread as something super serious people would get bored of reading them and would come here less often.
It's like the Dox announcement of announcement thread. I loved that. That had me checking for ages trying to figure it out (well really checking what miles had figured out). Like I get why you think its not thread worthy its not huge news but that's also what's the spotlight section is for.
Just stating out that i dislike this type of thread, sorry if i am overly negative about it or just putting him down. Just that i really not hope that the entire forum will be full of these threads. Maybe i could have phrased my words better.

The thing is these don't happen all that often I mean how often is someone going to get gm for the first time or beat one of the best zergs in the world? not very so it is important to celebrate these things. I mean if you beat MVP tomorrow and were my irl mate as Cabracan is (he introduced me to sc2) or my team mate and mate like ninja I would be making a thread like this saying so to celebrate. For we are a community and like to help one another and celebrate together.
You do realise "sudragons" post was not by him right? It was someone trolling him because they were pissed. It doesn't relate to this at all. I think its great that another member is writing a congratulatory post for someone, the fact that it should be in blogs doesnt lessen how nice a thing this is. **** I wish someone wrote me a congratulatory post when I got GM, would have actually made the effort worthwhile!
Its better than the people who post their own thread basically saying "REP ME PLSSSSSS". Oh hi Pet

yea i wasn't sure what to make of that post seemed a bit off. I can understand why someone just 2 gating could piss someone off tho :P.

Although I agree, maybe it should be in blogs........
Why are you making such a big deal about it this? How about leaving this business up to the forum moderators huh? Last time I checked, you aren't a forum moderater. I'm sure you have better things to do instead of derailing threads which some find worthy of a read.
If you don't like it, closing the thread is only a button away.
EDIT: Oh, gratz on GM too buddy.... time for KR now? :P
I has an issue, if I make a blog about how gosu Stallion is and talk about how he just made GM on KR and beat nestea in the GSL finals 4-0 then he posts in the blog thanking everyone for their support and whatnot. i cant rep...
I CANT REP
why no reps in blogs yo?
But yeah blogs make more sense in every way except for that^
I agree with ProAnn on this one. I don't see the point in having forums if we are not allowed to express our opinion, negative or not. It's just an opinion, don't hate on it.
CONGRATULATIONS SIR! Gogo win gsl!
EDIT: But I love this congratulatory thread. Nothing against it, in fact we need more of these!

Thanks guys, I'm so glad I started frequenting this site. My friends are constantly having their reddit vs 4chan arguments, but both of those sites can suck it. I mostly have Stallion and Spartaz to thank for getting me into this site. Obviously me and Stallion are close friends and when I started playing again he told me I had to come here and Spartaz because your first NZ cup is what got me back into the practising mood and the main motivation to sign up here.
Cheers to everyone who all the guys that helped me practise, this is mostly all the ex-crux guys out there. Also cruxZoom and xGKingIaguz who's streams I've been watching to get new build order and play ideas. Including the idea for 1 base 3 port banshee I used to cheese out NXZ.
@System, I've got another 4,5 years to go before I graduate man T_T and even then I won't be getting away from tests and study.
@Rogue, Of course I have. It went tell Stallion, tell the penguins, tell the world.
@TASlowHands, It's cool you remember our game I hope I stayed mannered, A lot of people out there don't realise the little things you do/say on ladder are remembered.
@ProAnnn, I understand that your problem is with the nature of this thread and not with me so there's no hard feelings. BakaInu (who is a very fair mod) also agrees that this should be in the blogs, hopefully in the future congradulation threads will be there. Also I'm glad that discussion happened, otherwise I wouldn't have known Ninja beat Nestea.
