It's not like whenever there's a competition, people don't also play to win. True, Magic makes it seems like she wants to win, as do most of the players in any given competitive format. Honestly, if you guys are really that against playing, then so be it. I'm not forcing anybody to play, I'm just trying to work out the kinks between the groups.
By the way: In my opinion, playing CTF on a regular basis is no different from playing in any other competitive event.
- You're still players.
- By being players, you automatically are implied to play to win, some more than others, some who just like to troll.
- By playing more, you're being an elitist of your own self, thus practicing makes you a lot better.
On the inverse, it's also true that Jacob_'s lost. There is also no shame to admitting a defeat and wanting a rematch. At least in my opinion, the facts are simple. Jacob's lost, they want to play again (For fun or to win). Acheron won, and are still winners to this day.
This is the exact pettiness that I'm talking about. It seems like we both look down upon each other, thinking each other is the inferior, when in fact, there is no definite line. For god's sake, it's CTF. If you really want to win, boast, win prizes, and remain prideful, go play League or a game with any other competitive setting. You're gonna find the exact same thing:
- People who shit talk
- People who whine
- People who want to win
- Elitists who form teams to win (Cloud 9 *COUGH*)
- Sandbaggers (people who smurf or do not play at their respective rank)
- etc, etc etc.
There is no exception to this, UNLESS, Andi and Acheron are really against the idea of the competition. Concluding that there is absolutely nothing that will benefit from this, no fun, no glory, etc. Again, I'm not trying to force anything, I'm just seeing to as why this is going on. Please correct me if I did not make myself clear or if I overlooked something.
Edit: Sports, if you also don't see a point in the competition at hand, just think: "why do people even compete, why are there any competitions at all?"
It's the exact same reason and mindset. Part of it is pride, growth, skill, elitism, bragging rights, but it's all arbitrary. It's all on how you see it.
