This was probably/obviously a directive from the board. I don't see why this is so hard to understand.

I don't think you should take much of his attitude negatively. I don't feel like the interview was formal enough to judge him that way. (him shouting etc, cuz scoots was also nagging him on)

the reaction comes down to people being too stupid to understand the simplest aspects of how traditional, VC-funded companies are run. Sundance has a bunch of 60 year old white dudes who put 50mil in this thing telling him what to do and its his job to take the heat and make something out of the business/plan that he is given. CEO means chief EXECUTIVE officer.

its like iloveoov (board) telling fantasy what to do, and fantasy executes it
(or sc2, boxer telling mma what to do)

I swear some of you are living in a bubble and didn't actually listen to the interview. Sundance runs a business and is trying to make it viable, they are trying this once to see if it works, if you can't afford it then thats fine but if you can afford it then pay so that next time they can drop the price and get more viewers and put more money in to the players and teams.

We should be willing to pay, nothing comes for free in this world. Grow up children and join the real world where businesses make money and you don't always get what you want
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

I laughed so hard at Moondance.

I think Sundance is a good guy, but I've yet to see the LO3 interview.

Maybe he needs Butch to steady the ship.

I didn't catch the show, but it sounds like he didn't cover himself in glory with explaining the business decisions & mistakes they made. Perhaps he just forgot the delivery of the message is as important as the message itself, and didn't prepare enough. Oh well, everyone has bad days. From what I've seen so far, he's a decent guy. He does seem to genuinely care about the growth of the scene. MLG's decision to change their model is perfectly understandable, though I disagree with a few details. I hope it works out for them. SC2 & esports in general is better off with MLG in business.

Take a look at reddit for another viewpoint on how the interview with him went. He actually gave a damn good interview when Scoots wasn't yelling over him repeatedly.
