It is to them, though. It's a movie for them, about them, about what they love, and I bet they think they look awesome. Most players that I've met around my area don't center their entire lives around it (which is kinda why I still go to tournaments) but the footage was taken at a recent huge national tourney in Philadelphia.

It's just bizarre to me, I guess. I don't even know why I made the thread, I guess I'm just perplexed that the community can be so organized and yet so juvenile. I go to, on average, one tourney every two months and most of the people that I meet at these places are good people that don't let the game consume their lives. I certainly don't mean to imply that I'm better than these people just because I'm not as devoted, but it's just bizarre to me the rift that seems to exist between the people shown in this video and the people I've met playing the game. It's just weird.

Also, to think that the majority of the community is made up of people that have no chance of winning but still go to every tourney, people feeding the pot every single tourney they go to and coming in dead last each time. And some of them aren't kids.

Are you as confused about why you said "them" when you really meant "us"?
