Yes this is a rant and yes i am mad bro so dont ask...
Clan IMI, aka clan immortal is a new clan to have risen into the NA scene. They have some pretty decent plays and are quite competitive in their clan wars. They also like to help one another. Sounds like a bunch of cool guys eh? Well i thought the same as well.
About a few months ago, when i was about top diamond at the time on NA (currently mid diamond :P) i notice IMI was taking in diamond players and thought "oh cool i have heard about these immortal guys im gonna see if i can join then, wouldn't mind joining a NA clan". So i asked one of the i guess "officers" of the group and simply ask "Hey, im stodd and i was wondering if i could maybe join your clan? " About half an hour passes when he responds "Ask the main manager". I thinking to myself wow ok it took you that long to respond? Maybe he was afk who knows, then i noticed he was 100% active in the public chat channel for that past half an hour, so for that long he ignored me. This point, im a bit hurt but you know w/e.
Anyways, i see the main manager of the clan is on. "Yes! this is my time, im excited to try out these immortal guys!" I give him a pm "Hey there im stodd a high diamond interested in joining your team! " About 2 (yes 2) hours pass. These immortal guys take forever to respond i thought. Eventually he responds with. "lol sorry we dont need another diamond." My initial response to myself was like "oh, but like you, just took in like 2 diamond players just before, i asked them if immortal would take me in and all i had to do was ask and here you say i cant join?
At this point i have been essentially rejected for no real known reason, but you know what fair enough what can i do? Time passes by and im just laddering as i normaly do. I then encounter a IMI guy on ladder, some diamond zerg. "Oh sweet" i thought "I can verse these IMI guys and see what they got!" Game starts i chuck out a gl hf and he never responds. He eventually wins cause my PvZ is shit and in frustration i leave the game. That zerg, who never responded to me pm's me after the game saying "lol noob gg". Like, wtf seriously? I didn't reply because its better not to talk back and let it slide. At this point i think to myself, ok so i guess their are some idiots in IMI but with all clans (or most) thats normal, im bound to meet a sweet person from IMI right? Time goes by and i verse a terran from IMI. I say gl hf and he responds "gg". Now i know the koreans tend to do this which is normal, but recently i have had doubts about IMI but i ignored it and played on. The game ends with him successfully proxy widow mine rush and due to no protection, i lose the game. After game he pm's me and says "gg noob". Wow, ok, so maybe im just getting the dickheads from IMI? Im sure they are not all nob jockeys.
Some more time passes and im killing ladder im rank 1 diamond at this point, i verse a masters from IMI "Alright its a IMI player but he is master terran player, maybe it was just the diamond roster who were bm. I start the game normal with "gl hf" and after a bit he says "glgl". Ok fair enough, first immortal guy to respond to me somewhat nicely. The game pushes on and i decided to go for a 1 base all in (yes i know how noob of me) and i almost win but well, repair bunkers are quite strong. So i lose and tap out leaving the game. I was waiting for the pm as it seems every IMI i have faced so far has done this, before you knew it bang a pm (surprise) and he says "ezpz 1 base noob". Wow so nothing nice to say. I am now angry with IMI at this point and just recently i versed the same IMI guy twice, both games he 2 gates me and both times it doesnt work. Both games after the match he pm to me saying im so bad and that i was lucky and at this point i lost it i pm him back saying WHY ARE ALL OF YOU IMI PEOPLE A BUNCH OF WANKERS?! He just responds with the dullest answer. "idk what you mean". WTF i thought? what you mean you dont understand?
Im officially over these IMI pricks and their BM and cheese and aggressive behaviour. I am yet to encounter someone nice on this IMI clan. I know this rant wont fix the problem and i know im just some diamond scrub but im sick and tired of IMI and the NA community in general. The SEA community, despite competition, was 100X better back in the day. At least people wouldnt harass you or bm you or w/e. Im not sure if anyone else agrees with me or even knows about these IMI guys but whether you with or against me i felt this needed to be adressed. That way, if you guys encounter a IMI player please tell me if they bm you or harass you during or after the match.
RANT OVER!

Seriously, you're in an online community. Expect retards, expect asshats, expect fucksticks. Even in a nice clan, there will still be people that aren't nice.
Same thing in real life. You're never gonna be smooth sailing with others' attitudes all day, everyday.
TBH this is a stupid blog.. but I can see that you just wanted to vent. But yeah, please just learn to live with it. If you can't stand people that have enhanced dickhead powers due to keyboards I do not have high hopes about how you hold up against assholes in real life. If someone's being BM to you on ladder, just ignore them and/or win against them. You shouldn't have to give a shit about what they say, you'd just be wasting your time and making yourself mad over nothing.

Why are you guys being so mean , makes me sad huhuhu
We're being honest.
There's no point in trying to be sympathetic with things that aren't worth getting so mad over that you make a blog out of it here. It's not even SEA related.
He really just needs to learn to deal with it.
Shit like this is more than welcome on tumblr though.

Here i will clear all this up for you guys and you to stood, not everyone in IMI is a bunch of faggots like you've seen but the vast majority of them are very much just wankers. I was part of the clan for a few months and at not one point were they tight on recruitment if you were at least diamond. so they would have just been being plane arseholes to you mate. and yeah i also don't really know if they treat there own any better really i was good with everyone in the clan at a point and so like one of the players i was pretty decent friends with over the rest and i let him play on my account to just warm up or whatever and he was helping me out to, but i explained to the clan i just wanted to be part of an aussie clan because the times of clan wars and other players worked out for me better, so one of the players in the clan got on my account and left league on everything for last season, which was the most frustrating thing in the world. I then speak to the 2 leaders about this because i was good with both of them and all they did is simply said **** off and laugh and say well your stupid then aren't you, and that they didn't want diamond faggots in their clan even though i was masters at the time before it left league. and they did this simply because i wanted to just join an Australian team so i joined AxS and might i say best team i have been in by far but i agree with you sir IMI are a bunch of pathetic bm dickheads
Trying to frame my humble thoughts and opinions...
Yes, Elusory and I have been 'hanging' out in their public chat for a good number of weeks. For me, I was looking for a NA clan public chat that was active that wasn't the Day9TV chat. One huge reason for doing so since early March was to understand the NA scene, culture and clan scene.
In the public chat, I felt the guys were ok though they kept mostly to themselves which is normal. They have diamond and above and I know, they are still recruiting but only masters and above. They also remind me of sR from long time ago.
When you have many players from diamond and above in a clan, it is also natural for them to form a more elistist mindset and other attitudes which are usual for a group at that level. However I seldom see them bm openly and if u ask questions in the chat, sometimes you will get a decent discussion.

This actually holds more truth than u might realise Stodd. When u one base all the time or 2 base, many players actually hate it. It is a strong and legit strategy but it is the one strategy that makes a lot of people mad. When someone holds it off, it gives a lot of satisfaction and you might get bm from players who are vocal and I think this is common on NA.
If you really do not like to receive comments such as this, the best is the block messages from players not on your friends list when out of game.

I have no idea as well. I only found them in early March.

I think Midnight is a cool guy but this is one point which I must remind everyone. Never trust anyone with your account unless you are 100% sure you can trust that person.
I realized it seems pretty common on the NA server at least from what I read from the lMl chat (discussions), that people get paid to level accounts or share accounts. But it always carries a risk as someone can seriously mess up your account.
I remember we use to joke about when someone asking you to level or smurf on your account, to accept then change the password to mess someone up. Not that anyone did it at the end but that's how I feel most SEA people view levelling or smurfing. So while it might be more common on NA, you open yourself to that risk even further and you cant do anything about it because Blizzard has already said you cant do that. So if u get into trouble, they are NOT going to help you.
One important point to note is the culture, mindset etc differs on each server. Rather than criticise it too much, learn to understand the culture and the limits. Doesn't mean you have to change your values or limits.
I have had at least 2 diamond Koreans beat me as a Gold player. I didn't all in them, didn't cheese. Then messages me after the game that I have to practice more cos I was ez. I ignored him because there will be always people like this. I could had said, You are diamond and I'm gold. You beating me seems more natural than if I have had beaten him. So what is your problem? Some people just have super-sized egos. And this happens on any server. And yes he is Korean because it was in broken English. [I do beat the occasional diamond but that's not the point and I refuse to let such silly people affect me by too much]

The power of asking... apparently they have been around since late summer last year.
I dun know about all the members or the clan inside, but I still feel at least some of the members are ok. I dun know them very personally but interactions with xoxo has been friendly and a few others haven't been unfriendly or nasty as it is put as. Some of them are curious about SEA as well and will ask and we have a nice conversation.
I do know sometimes outside a ladder game or after a ladder game, people's responses/attitudes can be different. Bear in mind that on NA, people there are more likely to be more vocal and appear as more bm and proud as compared to SEA people for example, especially if you are more used to more friendly people or a smaller community. Doesn't mean there aren't SEA people who dun bm or are very vocal either.
