I don't think it's a stupid question as I think most of us have tossed up whether to put so much time and effort into it but not every person makes a ******* attention-seeking thread about it rofl.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to not post and report it rather than derailing it, even if you do think it is a useless thread?

slayers_boxer said that when he choose to play sc1 he decided he wanted to become a champion and he devoted 100% of his life to becoming a champion. So in his eyes if you wanna be a pro you goto throw everything you have got at it otherwise your wasting your time. If you don't wanna be a pro than just enjoy playing sc2 and know that it's your hobby and not your goal in life and if that's the case you should put what is your goal first at all times e.g. job or becoming the worlds fattest belly dancer or whatever it may be.

My goal in life is to become an amazing science teacher. However, that goal is becoming more and more difficult when you have to decide between laddering/tournaments and showing up to class. :P

But that's a lot less fun.

Well deL, the reason why I put it on the forums is because I don't know a lot of the people around, since I am new to here. I'm not here to advertise, I am purely just trying to ask for advice.

Unstable, there are different success stories. But I respect yours, and it is a shame I don't get to see how deL helps with new casters. Obviously I probably won't be able to until the flame goes out around this thread.

I think some of the posts in this thread are unnecessarily hostile...

People are too quick to jump the gun and flame someone these days, using any excuse they can find. He's just a young guy and he's seeking advice from like-minded people who love the game as much as he does. It didn't come across to me as attention seeking, especially because he didn't advertise himself in the OP.

Anyway, most of what I can offer you has already been said in one fashion or another, but essentially try to prioritise and balance your obligations with your passions. Commentating can be quite time consuming, so perhaps just leave that to the weekends and holidays. Stick to playing the game during the week just so you can remain engaged and active within the community. You mentioned you just hit diamond so obviously you're working your way up.

From my perspective, most successful casters are those who persevere regardless of followers, feedback and popularity. I may be out of line here, but I'm pretty sure Unstable went from being unknown to being THE SEA commentator over the course of a few months simply by throwing himself out there time and time again.

Just be mindful that all feedback, no matter how negative has it's value, but try not to take it all to heart. You'll never satisfy every listener, but as long as you enjoy doing it you shouldn't ever stop.

As for everyone else... Give the guy a break. Everyone starts somewhere. We're all here because we all love, live and breathe this game. Seeing responses like these remind me of idiots at concerts who start fights in the crowd even though they're both there for the same reason: because they love the music.

Why are you asking the community what YOU should be doing, if you really want to do something dont hesitate do it. Do it because you want to and you enjoy it.

Good luck with any choice you make.

Firstly, deL who the **** do you think you are? Ok you have managed the AUS national team and a leader of a successful SEA clan, congratulations. You have also managed to be a complete ****** douchebag. Honestly who the **** do you think you are derailing all threads you come across and giving negative feedback (maybe one positive feedback for every 500 shit posts you make). Good work, you have put effort in towards building the SEA community today. This is no excuse for you to think you are a god in the SC2 sea community. Acting like a complete utter ****** is not adding to your reputation. Honestly, stop piss ******* around the forums being a ****** douchebag and give critical criticism that's going to help or don't ****** post at all.

Secondly, Pinder. I know you aren't as big of a ****** like deL but you seem to be backing him up when he is obviously in the wrong. You are just as stupid/douchey as he is for thinking he is in the right when he is blatantly not. Get a clue?

I know this is a terrible post and of disgusting language, but I think many of the SC2SEA community agree that deL needs to drop his top shit attitude and stop being a complete douchebag in 99% of his posts or he's going to ruin his reputation, sea's reputation and continually be called a fat bastard with no ego/self-esteem in real life so he has to put on a ****** attitude and discourage other members.

If you don't like dels posts don't read them. Stop being bitches about anyone disagreeing or voicing there opinion.

ETL.Santi · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 2:21 PM

To be honest I like del and I would miss him if he leaves because he is not socially retarded like most people who play starcraft.

Max · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 2:22 PM

How about you TA boys stop sticking up for someone who is in the wrong?

I don't think you know what bitches are, we're merely voicing our opinion too. Don't tell us we're bitches, don't read it. You're a hypocritical little person aren't you?

Wouldn't expect much from someone who can't tell the difference between there and their.

**Dox** · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 2:54 PM

Everyone just needs to chill.

Look at all the hate!

TAcawkballs · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 2:59 PM
