No emotions C9? What the?
Okay wow.
I've never watched sports games much, let alone e-sports, but I got caught up in Worlds. It's a lot of fun to watch, can't believe this is the same thing I have been playing almost every day for about 5 years. Such amazing plays, the commentators, the crowd, I am enjoying the shit out of myself.
Finished work, rushed home, got the end of the C9 vs FW game. With the game timer nearing 70 minuted, the crowd chanting, the tension, this is easily the best I have ever seen so far. The ending was nuts - I had a feeling they'd come back and win, but wow, it came so close. The whole time, all I could think about was jesus, if they actually pull it off, they will lose their shit. Seeing how INTZ reacted when they beat EDG, they jumped from their seats, hugged each other, it was so nice to see.
Yet, the disappointment is real. When they won, all alone in my apartment I screamed, I cheered, it was a sick moment. Camera pans to C9, they look like they just lost the game. They slowly stand up, no happiness, no excitement, just another day at the office, they almost looked disappointed. For a second I thought it was FW (I'd be so mad if I lost that game, this is fucking worlds yo) , but no, these guys were the winners. I get it, this is groups stage, not the finals, but still guys, you're putting on a fucking show you've waited the whole year for, can you...have emotions? Even the crowd sounded like they were a bit astonished by their lack of reaction.
Jensen's interview, first words: Yeah we figured out a lot of the things we have to work on. Yes, I agree with that, but like...there is a moment to discuss these things, and its not in front of a wild crowd! No need to flaunt it but damn
Am I the only one that's thinking that way?
