It's not about respect or something else, dunno why we even call that "salty", but thats what it makes these competitive matches and tournaments funny. At in the end it's just a game, and nobody gains anything from this game. So making it funny is on our hands and those things what it makes funny.
I know your feelings, we have lost against Germany on nc13 for just one round.
So, like how you guys maked jokes before the final we will make some jokes after the final aswell, this shouldn't be called as "salty".
I hope i exlpained well
