This is barely a tournament since everyody knows that larva is essentially messing around for fun. This is much more in the vein of the SCR launch event stream, a bunch of guys having a laugh, and dipping into commentary when the games get interesting. There are lots of serious casts done by knowledgable, analytical casters, but these kind of events are great fun and worth watching because it's very rare that they happen. Mostly because apart from these guys, there aren't really any casters in esports who can keep up solid banter for eight hours and it still be funny because they have such history and chemistry. So I'm happy to have these while they're around. My point is they do this every time, even when casting just 2 hours (ASL). I guess I like casters to be more analytical because it effectively raises the level of understanding of a lot of casual players playing on b.net. In turn giving me a better b.net experience and their humor just isn't my thing. Anyway... Larva delivering like a boss. lmao | ||

Afaik, it's not like LX insulted Larva such that Larva feels he has to make some sort of statement. As a result, notwithstanding Larva's obvious personal enjoyment of the situation, I feel like his antics come across as more meanspirited than in good fun. yeah i agree, kinda disgusting | ||

I take it you haven't seen larva play at an event before... he's all about banter, even against top players | ||

I think it's fine to do that stuff to entertain viewers--and like I said, I laughed at this--but there is a time and a place for everything. If it turns out he and Lx are great friends and Lx laughs it off as no big deal, then fine, it's not my place to feel insulted for Lx. But this isn't really "banter," this is "I'm shitting on you, which everyone knows I would, but in as humiliating a way as I can and for no reason but to get a laugh." Lastly, just to be clear, Larva strikes me as a nice guy, I don't think he's trying to be malicious, and he probably does legitimately think it's funny. To me, however, it still comes off as I've described. | ||
