Shame to loose such a great casting duo but i hope the best for both of you and will definitely continue following you both! BasetradeTV has been one of the best things to happen to SCII. Thanks for all the hours of fun

First of all, both Rifkin and Zombiegrub deserve a lot of praise for bringing so many 2nd and 3rd tier tournaments to the community. I really mean that as a compliment because without the BTTV content, the wait between the big tournaments (WCS/GSL/IEM/DH etc.) would have been too long. The viewer stats on Youtube speak for themselves, BTTV has always been very popular. I for one usually have it running on my secondary monitor while I do something else - and only pay attention when the casters get excited.

Having said that, Rifkin's unprofessional and at times immature behavior - usually when differences of opinion arise - are unbecoming a business manager or even just a community personality. It's therefore not surprising that Zombiegrub wants to "focus on her own brand" as she says.

I wish both of them good luck

Hmm. That sucks. I am looking for somebody to do a sponsored tourney for my company. 10000USD budget, Quarterly. I presume that won't be basetradeTV then

Though I rarely watch bttv and I can understand the criticism that you and ZG have been facing (as in: concentrating more on the game) I still thought it was fun.

I understand the difficulties that come with the end of a work relationship with someone you are close friends with (at least it seems that you are close friends). I hope you can continue with bttv and ZG can reach her goals

I am assuming this is a troll, but if not just PM them, they said they were ready to cast together once in a while, and even if they can't cast all of it together BTTV still has a bunch of great caster.

Sad to hear that you part ways in professional life but something that was to be expected at some point in time.

I hope BTTV can keep up its quality streams!
In my opinion you two have been producing the best sc2 stream by far.
(If you disregard the two korean leagues. Simply not fair to compare..)

GL to you both. And most of all, thank you

I saw this coming a long time ago.

She has great potential; BTTV and her co-caster, too restraining.

Good for her, good for us.

Best of luck to both of you guys. Hope this is not the end of the road for BTTV. If it is, thank you guys for all the matches over the years. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.


See you around on twitch!
