When watching Starcraft have you ever been so overwhelmed by a player overcoming a strong opponent, or coming back from 0-2, or winning the last epic game of a hard fought bo5 and wet your cheeks a little?
Or have you ever done so good in a game, or tried so hard, that when you finally broke through and took the advantage and you knew you were going to win, did you shed a tear?
Would it be manly to cry after such an epic occurance in such a godly game, or would you be a fag and you should man up because this is fucking Starcraft, not Barbies Island Adventures?
I don't know if my eyes were straining after a few hours playing starcraft, and the quick pace of the last big battle in a tvp on andromeda with emps and stasis' and storms going off, and tank fire everywhere, and zealots upon zealots going back to Auir caused my eyes to be really dry, but I think I just cried for starcraft. Have you?
I know exactly what you mean... When July won that last game vs Best in the OSL finals, and he walked out of the booth with that look on his face and he picked up the golden mouse amidst the cheering and confetti and what not I felt myself getting caught up in the emotion and I probably would have shed a small tear except that I remembered that I am indeed a member of the male race and that, of course, men do not posses tear ducts.
I get rather emotional after certain matches, feeling for the players... imagining myself in their situation. I remember feeling rather sad for BeSt losing it 0-3 after having come so far, but also feeling very happy for July, knowing what it feels like to stand there being #1.
in like, 2003 or 2004 I went to the WCG prelims in bellevue and won. but there was like a 2nd round of prelims a month later.
so that summer I started taking adderall. actually, like 3 days before that tournament.
and so, I didn't really know but sleeplessness is a massive side effect of adderall. I really got so little sleep before the tournament I was like a zombie. I lost in the 3rd round to someone I am way way better than. I had practiced so long for so hard.
my eyes totally got pretty wet
mainly because u get a $2000 computer if u won at the prelims and I was poor as shit

Same here. I was also a bit emotional when Lux lost to Best in the semifinals. Started so good, then it just went downhill for him.
