I've seen him drop some small talk here-and-there during chat, but nothing offensive.
To answer your question: People like him because he's the best foreigner and has been for a while, one of the best Zerg players in the world, and entertaining (streaming good music, good game play, smashing the KR ladder, getting drunk, getting arrested, etc.).

I'd love a few noob vs noob games I often get stomped in bronze when I haven't practiced for months, so I need friendly environment to get back in shape. + of course all the fun of a balanced game

BTW:
Great news: Blizzard announced that global play will be possible in the near future.

judging from the tone, BL most likely meant "bronze league", makes perfect sense in his flow
anyway, I admire your progress. You are certainly off to a very good start.

I dont know why we all dont share more. It would help keep this thread lively. It seems we never watch one another replays. Haha

man speaking of replays, i had a game roughly 2 days ago that i got so mad about it I almost wanted to post the replay even though I lost so horribly and beached at my teammates at the end
it was a 4v4 in a map with 2-player bases. On my side it was 2 protosses. I didn't wall in and didn't spot a cannon rush coming. That guy started at the low ground so there was no way to save it once his probe got up the ramp.
I was building my core at the time and once I saw that, I cancelled my core and just focused on mining minerals and kept telling my teammates to relax, I'll recover just fine, they should go back to doing their own thing. My mentality as a protoss against cannon rush is that as long as he hasn't walled my base, I can just gather enough for an expand, and escape to somewhere else to restart my base with some help.
by the time the cannons reached my base, I had 1000 minerals, so I ordered all probes to move out and double expanded at our natural areas (which was close to all 4 players). Sounds neat right? With some luck I can probably get back to the top in the team as none of us had expanded so far.
So game went on for about 2 - 3 more minutes, my nexus were done, just when I started to mine the enemy army showed up, like 7 roaches 5 zealots and more. I pinged for help and guess what?
That was roughly 7-8minutes into the game, the guy that was originally next to me was scared of the cannons and built NOTHING but cannons as a counter, the 2 guys in the other base, well, 1 guy had like 7 marines but 3 rax with 2 tech lab 1 reactor, the other guy rushed void rays and had like 1.
how did those guys get to platinum was beyond me
