in EE being called european was not a compliment, note that all europeans were not considered europeans. european was a word reserved for the scumbag and/or pathetic players that through unpleasant tactics and other things. many americans were europeans, and not all europeans were. it's been proven that europeans ruined most settings they touched. mod tl was so innocent, and full of joy. then the europeans come in, suddenly tcs are being spammed by the hundreds, mortars are being explored and tribute screens are being molested. plus they made mod tl 2v2 pretty much more worthless than it already was, 4 pt civ everygame all games. i remember dozens of mod 4v4 being ruined because some unruly gang of europeans want to fanatacism rush. i really never liked mid, but it could be fun in 4v4s near the end of the servers with non-europeans. you try to bring europeans in and you get slut rushes and ca ecoing done so precisely and intricately as conducting a symphony. this is kind of off-topic, but europeans are just the people who unnecessarily gay the game up, for lack of a better term. Anarchy is a very good example, and he would still lose to 45 if he had a few days to practice. oh yes, 45 is a former player i miss thus making this relevant
I've seen you mass TC's in mod/mid/p2s, I've seen you nuking enemy pocket with mass rams/siege towers, I've seen Joey fana inf rush and I've seen CA ecoing from pretty much any decent mid player. Also, note that lavanger has done everything you mentioned as "european". So by trying to "put this to rest once and for all" you're basically saying everyone is/has been european.
Let's say the counterpart to the compliment "european" will be/already is "american". Let me list the things that would certainly fit the stereo-type:
1. Makes up more rules than the p2n community (no slut, no eco killing... list goes on)
2. Makes up excuses for playing poorly (example: never scouts, excuse: "I'm not a tryhard")
3. Sits idle in base with army until boom is done, sometimes even after boom is done because.. fuck if I know
4. Plays Expansionism every game
5. Instantly drops if enemy AK in no rule sets
6. Intantly drops if enemy spread marines around his base
7. Instantly drops if enemy "explore mortars" (comman.. any good player knows their not on explore, and if they are your opponent sucks)
8. Instantly drops after trying some horrible all-in strategy and it fails (think that ram/seige tower nuke I already mentioned)
9. Instantly altf4 after being doubled
10. Says never cares about EE yet reads EE forum years after they stop playing to nitpick what others have said
Oh, and I've had the pleasure of witnessing you do everything in this list Tool.
