WotC Ending Pro Play Discussion

[Ronald Deuce]

That article was maximum cringe. Simply incredible. And check out this comment by Michael Flores:

Someone: "The Pro Tour was a playground for the privileged. Let’s focus on opening the gates and letting more people play."

Weird statement, but ok. Michael blesses us with this amazing response:
"How do you figure? My generation (just a tad older than Zvi) was a spawing ground for complete and utter excellence across a dizzying breadth of disciplines."

You can't make this stuff up.

I wasn't sure whether the response was satire at first. I kind of wish it had been. The arrogance and obliviousness (in both the article and Flores's patently self-aggrandizing and tangential post) isn't just palpable; it's tangible.

Then again, if we aspire to their level of logical thinking and reason, maybe we should all just form a new, less wrong pro-league. It wouldn't be a spawning ground for complete and utter solipsism across a dizzying breadth of disciplines.
