Because you refer to us (anyone who's not a try hard) a casual, and (generally, more often than not) arrogant, pompous air to your presence. Just because we have hobbies outside of video games (jobs, girlfriends, and, in my case, rock climbing and eskrima), doesn't meant you're worth more as a human being, as typical mlg players love to act. You refer to us as casuals (to me it sort of sounds derogatory, like try hard might sound to you). And it's not like "I'm mad cuz I suck"; maybe I suck compared to you, but I can hold my own. I also have a job, a girlfriend, rock climb, and practice eskrima, so it's not like I can commit 6+ hours a day gaming like some mlg gamers. And because I don't have as much free time, some people act like they're worth more as a person than me. They act like, just because they're exceptionally good at a video game, they feel like they should talk down to everyone else. There's this thing called being humble. In my climbing gym, I boulder problems graded V7, and V8 (its the grading system), but you don't see me taking down to people who are just beginning. Hell, you don't even see me talking down to people that plateau at the grade V5. Yet you see gamers being condescending simply because we don't have as much free time as you. And it's not like I suck at games, I just don't feel the impulse to spend every waking minute on a game just to talk down to a complete stranger about how I am better than them about something that won't even matter. If you're a stronger practitioner of a martial art, you can kick my ass. If you're a stronger climber, you must be in really good physical condition. If you're a better gamer, what, you've got good hand eye coordination? One could argue reaction time for a fight, but if you don't know what to do, reaction time won't help. /rant
