Unfortunately the people doing it are usually the most vocal and somwhat 'popular' people on these forums/Chatbox. U disagree with one of them and a herd of morons come at you even though your points might be valid.
2nd: Trolling. I never understood it and i bet 99% of you dont either. Someone made a fantastic blog about this topic as well although i cant seem to find it. It really isnt funny to pick on one person and have your friends come and laugh with you even though most of the ppl around dont know exactly whats so funny.
In short, alot of people are bullies on Sc2sea and ive seen alot of players left our community just because they said something silly or disagreed with a ''popular'' figure in our community.
On the topic of declining stream numbers and lack of SEA players in global tournaments. IMO it will only get worse. Stream numbers have not been increasing and will probably start to decline, the gap between top players and SEA players will only increase with the exception of a few(Mafia). I just dont see how we can compete without real Pro teams paying you wages to train. How is it possible to close the gap when you have school, jobs and other committments?
NA has a pretty sick SC2 scene that whilst not ideal, is still thriving. And yet they don't have proper pro teams other then EG. Nonetheless there are passionate young dudes who put it on the line to get insanely good: Huk, Illusion etc... We don't need to necessarily be able to be as competitive as the Korean scene to be successful. Does Australia stop playing Soccer because Brazil or Spain will always have stronger sides then them? Hells no!
We already have a lot of sc2 fans here and my key point is it's simply a few small things not getting them down to LANs!
