Not enough drama. He should have thrown in something nationalist, like turning toward the camera and saying "The Kingdom of Koguryeo was 100% Korean and not Chinese at all."
The best part is that the guy he did it to is SUPER SALTY.
Thing is, there's this thing in chinese culture called "face". Been learning about it lately. https://youtu.be/OH7HjOcy6k8 Basically, chinese culture is hypersentive about humiliation and not being shown respect.
It's not that respect is a chinese only trait. It's that 'face' is much more than just respect.
Imagine you are playing against a top professional baskbetball player. Lebron James or someone. And he decides to play one handed. Sure, it makes you look bad that you can get beat one handed, but you'd suck it up.
Well a Chinese can suck that one up, too. It's just two "pros" going at each other, and it happens one side is much better than the other side.
"Face" is not really an East Asian thing. You are correct that Chinese are super sensitive about this kind of thing, though. However, it's due to their inflated national pride.
Oh, hell, no. Chinese people will lose their shit over this kind of stuff, as in full-blown public temper tantrums. The concept is prevalent in all East Asian cultures, but for some reason Chinese people take the cake when it comes to being salty about perceived slights in public.
I think there's a difference between le increased sodium levels and recognizing when someone's being a dick. The only reason to excuse asshole behavior is because you follow a starcraft player like a goddamn loser.
That's really on a K-Drama? Can't say I'm surprised since I saw one of their drama claimed their ancient medical practice was 100% original and not Chinese at all.
Long story short, it was a very powerful kingkom in North East Asia with Fuyu people as the dominant ethnicty, after it was defeated by Tang Dynasty and Silla, it collapesd and many people especially the royal family assimilated into Han Chinese, and some assililated into Korean. Chinese people dont actually give a fuck about this defeated kingdom, but tbh, thats the most glorious ancestor Korean can remotely related to, so they are pretty sensitive about it.
Yeah I was watching the tournament and it was the funniest thing, and then people were getting super upset about it on Reddit and TL - figured it belonged here.
lol where is the drama. there's like 1, 2 comments max bitching about the guy using his foot, and then like 12 comments of "omg you guys need to lighten up he's just having fun"
tbh starcraft is too polite. no chat ingame during tournaments, only gg on the defeat/win. it's boring to watch. throw some visceral bm in there to spice it up a bit.

Why would you make a throwaway to post on /r/drama? Are you that ashamed?

Why Denmark? I mean they have it coming, but surely Sweden comes first?

Many people don't know this but Copenhagen is actually the capital of Europe.

What "we"?
1 Pepperglue 2017-12-04
We, as in the Western Civilization.
At least the people I know around me would not be happy if they are not shown proper respect.

I don't see a problem with this phrase. Chinese would get really pissed if you say Confucius is Korean, though.
1 Redactor0 2017-12-04
What about the k-drama where Hua Tuo is a time-traveling Korean plastic surgeon from the future? Come on, let the hate flow through you.

Koguryeo was not Korean, nor was it Chinese.
Long story short, it was a very powerful kingkom in North East Asia with Fuyu people as the dominant ethnicty, after it was defeated by Tang Dynasty and Silla, it collapesd and many people especially the royal family assimilated into Han Chinese, and some assililated into Korean. Chinese people dont actually give a fuck about this defeated kingdom, but tbh, thats the most glorious ancestor Korean can remotely related to, so they are pretty sensitive about it.

lol if the other guy sucked so bad that the guy could beat him by using his feet on the keyboard I say it was deserved.
1 Astazha 2017-12-04
It's less that the opponent sucked and more that this player is one of the Michael Jordans of this game and very few people are on his level.
1 zergling_Lester 2017-12-04
Also the game was pretty much over by that time.
