[Zzoram]

This announcement better be insanely huge.

Given that Broodwar contracts are expiring soon...

EGBisu?

EG needs a good Protoss. They have Idra for Zerg and Puma for Terran.

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

Everyone on team liquid/reddit is really reaching, it reminds me of MGS: Soda.

 

[Haunted]

The TL thread is a hilarious carnival of stupid, but it's not as fulfilling to troll because they are so many dumb people over there.

It's too easy.

 

[Tiamant]

Finally I've met someone from Euro GAF!

GG Panda!

 

[Pandaman]

wait, what?

 

[cubicle47b]

Then we just have completely different opinions on what is low profile.

Apparently. A website countdown for something and a message on Twitter from Idra saying "it was fun". I can't fucking contain myself, this better be huge.

 

[zargle]

wait, what?

Must have been your Euro doppelganger... He's probably hanging out with Belle Eve right now.

"Oh Panda, how you've changed..."

 

[StopMakingSense]

Well, Huk's got the early 9pm PDT games today, so it should be sooner than later.

 

[nitric0]

No luck finding a 2v2 partner
Anyone interested? I'm a plat/diamond level protoss

[Tashi]

As an outsider, I have a question. What % of people still playing this game do you think follow the competitive scene?

 

[Pandaman]

"Oh Panda, how you've changed..."

HOLD ME BACK BRO.

BO7, NEXT WEEK, NA SERVER.
YOU TELL THAT FOOL HE'S DEAD. DEAD.

Panda is US GAF...

Spoiler

it was probably zoukka pretending to me in order to feel some of my glory.

I mean if someone had to imitate one of us NA Gaffers, I would've picked a better zerg.

 

[Yoshichan]

I knew I would be caught sooner or later

 

[Keikaku]

I know, right? I would have thought that either Elcheris or Moemoland would have been the more obvious choices. Maybe even PhoenixDark.

 

[Corran Horn]

5-0 in placement matches and platinum? bullllllshiiitt

 

[Ecto311]

Anyone here try and audiobuild before? I was working with one today and it helped me a lot to remember the basics.

Link to youtube site - http://www.youtube.com/user/StarCraftAudioBuilds

Works better for me if I do it before the actual countdown starts and have it tell me before I need to be doing the action.

 

[FieryBalrog]

i don't think idra will quit sc2, even if he don't deserve it he is getting shitton of money.

Spoiler

hopefully he quit sc2

quitting sc2 would leave a hole in Idra's soul

Seriously though, being an ESPORTS celebrity must be pretty awesome.

 

[PhoenixDark]

EG is hying this too much for it to be about them losing their (foreigner) ace player. They probably bought IM or something

The 2 fingers "peace sign" is an incredibly popular gesture to do in photographs in Asia, he's just fitting in.

If there are a weeaboo people, it's the Starcraft community.

 

[nilbog21]

does it also mean Peace & Love in asia?

 

[Vaporak]

If there are a weeaboo people, it's the Starcraft community.

Aren't weeaboo's all about Japan not Korea?

[Haunted]

Reading TL speculation threads is always good for a jolly ol' laff.

The only threads that are even more entertaining are BW vs SC2 and shitting on lol.

I wonder how that word even got the meaning it has today starting from that comic. >_>

Origin

The antecedent word “Wapanese” (as in Wannabe Japanese) was most likely introduced in the early 2000s, with the earliest instance on Google search dating back to June 30, 2002.

Wapanese: a slur used to describe a white person who is obssesed with japanese culture. This would include manga/hentai/and anime.

- The Racial Slur Database, 2002

From late 2003 and onwards, usage of Wapanese became alarmingly visible on 4chan, often leading to unpleasant exchanges between anime/manga fans and those who were far less interested in their subcultures.

At the peak of its abuse in mid-2005, 4chan moderators devised a creative intervention using the word-filter, replacing every instance of Wapanese with “Weeaboo,” which was a fictitious term originally coined by Nicholas Gurewitch in his Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip (date unknown, comic #62):



In its original context, the word “weeaboo” doesn’t signify anything but something undesirable and deserving punishment. Since then, many 4chan visitors adopted the word “Weeaboo” in replacement of Wapanese.

4chan mods


I should've known.

 

[FieryBalrog]

Ought to do a reality TV show centered on EG that would be rad.

They actually had some in Korea for those teams. I remember one following Yarnc and Luxury's team, Hite SPARKYZ.

 

[Deadman]

I dunno if this was posted in the gsl thread (im not going in because ive not watched yet) but saw this on reddit:

[–]Heosat 31 points 1 hour ago

Farewell HuK.

[–]midjet 7 points 1 hour ago

You be trolling?

[–]Heosat 29 points 1 hour ago*

Nope. That was his final game for Liquid.

Edit: Note, I have no idea what EG are doing with their "unknown" page. It is truly bizarre and perplexing and I look forward to their announcement as much as anyone else.

Heosat is TLAF owner.

 

[hamchan]

TL guys are probably trolling everyone.
