Because I'm better than the average person? Because I want to, one day, be playing at an international level?

It makes no sense. Sure, public decorum, blah, blah, blah. I don't understand how people could possibly look at someone responding to being called out and think "You know what, **** this guy and his sponsors. I'm never going to buy x product again". That's absolutely ridiculous.

Hey man, you know what.... as much as I agree with you. That is just how it is and there isn't anything you can do about it. As harsh as it may sounds, it's just how it is.

At the end of the day (speaking from my own perspective if I were a Pro-gamer), I'd just sit back and laugh knowing you are getting paid to do the exact same thing someone else is doing for leisure. The moment you get on the forum and retaliate at the hate is the moment you open yourself up for shit such as this. If you like the drama, well each to their own I guess... but imo "I" just don't think it's the better decision considering you are an "aspiring" Pro-gamer.

As I said before, not everyone is the same though.

Playing casually for fun is something completely different to practicing to compete at the highest level. I really hate when people have this thought process of pro gamers waking up everyday and having a blast playing SC2, they put ridiculous amounts of hard work, effort and dedication in to the game. Meaning a lot of the time it just simply isn't fun and its what separates the people playing leisurely and the top players.

I was going to post, but this just about sums it up. Progaming isn't as glorious as people make it out to be; we all do it because we love it. Waking up to play a game for 7 hours a day, however, you aren't having a blast. Half the time you're grinding out games attempting to make something just BARELY work five seconds earlier. Just BARELY control better. It's the most frustrating thing in the world to then have peope expect us to act a certain way, and a certain way only. To act like ******* robots. It doesn't work that way.
