Ladder BM Ruined My Day

So I've been trying to ladder down my bonus pool, and I roll up a TvP on Shakuras. I can immediately tell this guy is a punk because he plays Protoss. But I have respect for everyone, so give out my traditional gl hf...

[image loading]

...AND HE DOESN'T RESPOND.

Now this doesn't mean he's BM, but it's a bad sign. I'll let my screenshots speak for themselves. Basically, this guy ruined my day. I let him and his freaking BM get under my skin even though I shouldn't. I kind of pride myself on at least being OK, manner wise, and trying to enjoy the ladder experience as much as possible. but when you encoutner BS like this on the ladder, it really makes you feel bad, even if you were feeling good.

I'm not even sure what to say other than that. I don't get BMed much, as a macro-style terran, but when I do, it just gets me so mad. What do you guys do when you see this kind of egregious BM on the ladder? It's even worse when they do it when the win, because then I can't even feel good about having won the game...

Rest of the images in the spoiler.

As you can see, I am a paragon of manner and this guy is just an asshole. I don't know how to even deal with this level of BM:

Any advice on how to deal with this bm? tricks to keep it from making you mad? thanks guys!

bitbybit told me the best way to deal with BM is by scv marine all-ining, so you should try that for a few games!

Ugh, people like that Lucein guy are ruining the Starcraft II community and hurting eSports as a whole. Good job staying in the game despite his horribly passive-aggressive apologetic attitude.

I'm sorry to hear about the bm. It's actually kinda out of character for you to write such a somber blog; I'm afraid I don't have any words of wisdom though 'cause I don't ladder all that much. ._.

Not sure if trolling or really be serious about this... Because if I understand well, you were the Terran and *YOU* BM him all the game long.

My simple advice is, if you GL HF and you opponent does't not respond, keep quiet and don't go mad. The best answer to someone ignoring you and/or BM you is just to stay focus and CRUSH HIM in the game.

Period.

Lucien is a Master of self control.

I have a tip for you: don't be a jerk in game (and out of it btw) and you'll start to mass wins in no time! True story!

I feel terrible for the person you played if they didn't know you were going to do that coming into it. Assuming that's the case, I also can't believe how incredibly manner that player was.

Excellent blog. Ladder BM Made My Day

Without a community, we're all just a bunch of geeks.

If you dont' want to deal with bm, press f11 and click on the square by your opponents name. He is muted and thus you will not see any text. It's what I do when I get bm'd. It's what I did whenever I saw combat/deezer and all they would spam all game were how bad you are. Also did it vs zilea cause that guy says the stupidest shit (omg I won blizzcon in WoW, I have 5600 followers) as if that means he's good

. But yeah if you dont' want to deal with it ever or he says something that irritates you do what I said f11, click on the squar on the menu that pops and you won't see any more of his writing.
