Boy did I pick a Fun time to look in on TYM
First Off let me post to make some things clear:
1. I IN NO WAY EVER HAVE HAD AN ISSUE W TYM STAFF, I think they are leaps and bounds beyond MKU or any other team in their inside scoops, news, coverage, promptness, etc etc. Plus LBSH NRS (so i've heard) visits one site because of that (and some funny member created videos). So Kudos to them (and that special video maker).
2.
Killphil SPLED0R you're both right honestly. Wong, chris g, etc etc dont post on SRK anymore for variety of reasons. Most of those being the same reason I myself (cause i can't speak for anyone else) doesnt care, bother to post in response whats on this site or especially the trash on another site.
The people who left simply took their ball and went home.
No one owns anything they do. Everyone is a 13 year old girl fighting another 13 year old girl.
Not sure who this is aimed at but for me its not this at all. For me, it's more about how I got tired of all the bitching, crying, moaning from players taking out their frustrations against other players and characters they cant defeat. Also was tired of trolling in general (it's childish) and ego boosters who feel the need to have 13 accounts on tym or downplay another Top player's accomplishments because he was butthurt of his recent success. Also this multiple account shit on Twitch between VERY WELL KNOWN MEMBERS is the most pathetic shit ever, basically what you have are people too chicken shit to be real under their own moniker.
And I just got to the point that I asked myself, Do i honestly have time for this anymore and If I do have time Do I want to use it to sit there, read, reply, and then rinse repeat 10x and get nowhere because trolls or illogical people? Or people who plain suck at MK and just want some attention? ........ then Cool I just wasted a good amount of time for nothing. I figured, why me? Let someone else take the bait and engage in dumbass conversations.
we're gonna have new top players come injustice hopefully, let's pray they're not a bunch of drama queens and divas this time, eh?
Dont bet on it, Seriously Don't. I myself am not being a "drama queen" I just have better things to do than post really good shit and have it blasted by people who think Reptile is bottom 8.
Don't you train quite often with GGA Dizzy at your home? And with the rest of the GGA crew at that? Isn't discussion on strategies part of the whole training agenda you guys likely have? So who are you to say that discussing such things is a waste of time, when the reality is that it's how all players, pro and learners alike, develop themselves in the competitive scene? Whether people are mistaken in their views on match-ups, character-specific tactics, frame data, etc. isn't the point nor should they be getting blown up for that...because they learn through experience. Even I change my views on some things over time.
That was the whole idea behind TYM: to grow and support our players, not support a drama hub for people to single others out and cast stones at them. Blaming other people for such problems solves nothing, either. I'm all for competitive drama and hype - Hell, I bleed it whenever I'm in tournaments - but if the line between a friendly rivalry and heated feud becomes blurry, it completely detracts from the whole point of being a competitor.
Blake you're right, I do talk w 16 bit, reo, Tom, Pl, Etc etc etc about MUs and strats because on my phone call we're not interrupted amongst us 3 or 5 or 2 or whatever it may be on the phone with some moronic troll and Online Clan member who thinks he's all hot shit and marbles and goes 1-2 0-2 0-2 when it matters offline giving us his "DEFINITE" opinions and strats and then proceeding to argue our strats.
After a while man It gets old fast, then very fast.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he meant those "behind-the-scenes" players believe it's a waste of time discussing anything here because of all the "bullshit" (heavy moderation, flames/arguments, disagreements to what they believe is fact, etc) that occurs when they do.
I dont know about other top players but for me it's not about any moderation. It's always about keeping it precise and to the point without morons trolling it with excessive use of a joke such as "BF2 bro" "Kenshi bro" "Kabal OP bro." Gotten to the point to where Im only interested in helping others level up privately in 1v1 sessions, skype, my stream, etc because when I was posting on forums it was one troll after another and it instantly became a waste of my time.
And for the record I have no beef with Reo, I know there was TONS of chatter about me and reo...OoooOOOoo shit was lame and taken out of context. We talked a ton recently and we completely get each other and how it happened yadda yadda...Thats between us as is my issues w other players that have also been worked out. I do think there are some top players that are complete assholes and unprofessional and need to lead by example rather than acting like a child but those few people Im thinking of probably have deeper issues and are few and far between. I think Top players need to do the following (And im going to be serious here)
Furthermore Injustice will be great, Im not going anywhere. Ill be streaming 12:01am april 16 when the game is out playing it all night and day and providing ass loads of good info that players will want to look into. Ill be 100% competing in Injustice and Im sure more Injustice Info will be released Soon all will be interested in. Should be awesome!
