Ninja lost to Pezz in a game.
Things would never be the same.
Pezz approached with the offer of a shake of the hand.
Ninja declined, he wouldn't meet Pezz's demand.
Instead he climbed down from the stage.
When you looked into his eyes, all you could see was rage.
Later that day, he could be seen in shame.
He let everyone know "Protoss is lame".
This isn't Wings of liberty, was his claim.
In Heart of the Swarm, Protoss wasn't as tame.
Was that just an excuse, or was Blizzard to blame?
Either way, it's only a game.
A few weeks later, they met on ladder.
Ninja had a lead, for Pezz it couldn't be badder.
Yet Pezz would not die, he was landing his storms.
Ninja complained, how can you handle the swarm?
My units cannot beat your army. How is this fair?
To which Pezz responded, maybe you should go PAST lair...
In a rage, Pezz went to a stream.
He complained about Ninja, he said "that guy lacks self-esteem".
Petraeus, another fray zerg stuck up for Ninja and replied.
It's not his fault, it's the way you play he said (with snide).
Petraeus then met Pezz on ladder, and beat him with ease.
Pezz admitted his lost, and GGd.
They met again, this time on Belshir.
Pezz liked all inning on this particular stratosphere...
And so he thats precisely what he did. And he won!
Yet once again, like his teammate, petraeus did not gg?
Is this a pattern, that we see?
I think the answer to most is clear.
When a fray zergs enters a game they will disappear.
They won't show respect.
They won't shake your hand.
They won't admit their loss.
They just won't give in to what I demand.
In all seriousness, I jest. I felt like writing a poem, no hard feelings to the fray zergs. Fray is an awesome team.
Just thought I'd share a poem before the next ACL to build some HYPE YO! Too bad I might not even meet them at the tournament.
I've used a variety of gay all-ins against Ninja at ACL Brisbane. He was clearly upset at his own performance and Protoss, but he still offered me a handshake. I argue that the winner should never offer the handshake, myself and a few people I've spoken to have felt that although the intention is great, it can be seen as BM. Give the loser some time to cool down and reflect.
I've personally rejected a handshake of a man in a Poker Tournament who bad-beated me then vibrantly wanted to shake my hand as I passed him my stack. I said "good hand". That was enough, I didn't want to shake the guys hand, I hated the guy at that moment.

Agreed 100%. If he did try to offer me a handshake in melbourne I definitely didn't notice it lol.
Pezz has been a bad winner to me on ladder offensive gg'ing and spraying a slew of insults at me in-game when I never insulted him or anything like that at all (not to mention this funny blog -.-). That is much worse than anything loser of a game could say or do!
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

rofl you're really going to get mad because I didn't gg you in a meaningless ladder game? .. wow. You need to get over yourself. Know your place you ******* nobody.
Re: "Once upon a time, at ACL" A message to all the fray zergs out there
Fray zergs just mad coz they think pezz is a 'low apm protoss ez race scrub' thus they feel entitled to feel ripped off when they lose to him.
Harden up Fray zergs, don't dish it out if you can't take it back. Don't blame it on race when you get outplayed by someone who averages 60 more apm than you and plays the worst tournament race to play in a sea of zergs.

That's not true at all. I mean, how can you even say that? In wings of liberty I was pretty much the most mannered guy ever to you, even after losing in a tournament. I remember frequently complementing your macro back then. That's why it came as a real surprise when you started being a dickhead back to me when the roles were reversed and I started winning a majority of our series.
I don't think you realise how it feels to put just as much effort into the game as most if not all of the australian zerg players, and then every time you win a series its just dumbed down to "protoss". I had a lot of pride winning series against you in ACL Melbourne, yet I hear you telling other people how stupid my race is and that you "forgot it was hots" whatever that means?
Chadman seems to think this is a personal attack against fray, and that it paints fray in a negative light. Well, guess what, I'm sick and tired of being treated like shit, being treated like a bad player, with all the time I invest into this game I deserve the same respect I give to my peers after games are over. So maybe if you don't want to be treated in a negative light you should stop treating others like they're pieces of trash? Just because Fray is the best team in Australia it doesn't mean you can treat everyone like they're the lower class or something. You're not kings, you're just the best players.
If this was a one time thing I wouldn't really care, but no every single time I win a series you have something to say.
One of many, many examples. Talking shit to randoms on ladder is one thing, but talking shit after meeting someone irl and even eating lunch together? dafuq?
That's what confuses me about Petraeus too, we literally flew a plane to Melbourne together, probably talked for like 2 hours + included a bus ride from the airport, then a week later he treats me like shit again on ladder?
I really have to wonder, If I played a different race would I get that treatment?
Ray I'm glad you were treated well by Ninja good for you, but in reality that's just because you're an oldschool player and have been in the scene for longer than most. When a new protoss player rises they get treated poorly in an overwhelmingly zerg dominated scene.
P.S - Not to name names, but I'm not the only protoss in Australia who feels like they've been treated badly by these two.
Just feels like ladder rage to me. Excuses made, race blaming, no gg. It happens to the best of us. I've remembered encounters with almost all of the top SEA players, including myself, resorting to that. Bite your tongue, say gg. Don't look like that joker sore loser that says "joke race". If people do do that to you... Big grin on how pathetic they are being, move on, and continously remind them subtly on how full of shit they are.
