Why do you personally follow a specific player?

Just curious what yalls reasonings are for following those u follow.

Obviously everyone that follows me does so because they misclicked but whats ya'll story for those in your little black book.
If I've played someone who has a very unique and interesting playing stlye I might want to keep tabs on their progress... kinda like
: How's that working out for you? Or maybe I'm just impressed by the charachter of a certain player and I wanna follow them as a way to route for them... kinda like if you like someone you wish the best for them and are interested in seeing them succeed.
I don't know, I haven't followed anyone yet. But I think if I played them a lot and perhaps talked to them some, I'd follow them just to keep up with them more easily.
sometimes because they are funny and sometimes because i want to play them again when they are free and connected
like Celestial_Object said, i have played many times agains a determinate player and his stile is like mine, so i follow to see his progress
i only follow masters so thats pretty obvious the reason and untitled i follow people who berserk in tournaments cos its interesting to see their games
Follow to play in the same tournament. Greet a friend or team member. Used as a waiting room, for a known friend to challenge me to a game.
