EPTAt no point in your post did I see any justification for this. The only decline related to SOTG have been the tournament results of its key players.

SOTG isn't the news nor is it mainstream at all. There's not a lot restraining Idra to not say ''shut the fuck up'' to someone you hate that cuts you off when talking (taking his perspective on what happened), besides maybe sponsors, but even then. Idra just really dislikes Avilo, it's just how it is, it was destined to be explosive. The decision to call Avilo knowing all this was worse than the result. This to me is just the usual e-sports drama. | ||

Hope SotG apologizes or something, because it was a bit immature. | ||

You also forget SOTG is in part a comedy show, and making fun of someone who is a balance-whiner WHILE he is complaining about balance is actually quite funny. You know, just how iNc makes fun of Artosis? yeah, they do that sometimes. Settle the fk down IMO. | ||

This to me is just the usual e-sports drama. Yeah but SOTG is like "NFL live" of starcraft 2. What I am saying is it is one of the most watched shows about gaming, and they should be a leader. Granted the show has like no major sponsers and all, but I feel like the hosts disrespected the guy for no reason. JP should have been a better moderator. | ||

It is why Day9 left. I am beginning to think this show has run its course. Realtalk is pretty good and we have ITG. the Executives etc. We need new more mature personalities representing our community. Should SotG continue as it is? Poll: Should SotG be axed?

But that is just my opinion and what I think when I see this type of article come up, because really we aren't the government and we aren't in church kids. | ||

I think Avilo got shafted hard and I'm pissed at everyone there who wasn't fair to him. QXC got a shit ton of more respect from me out of this, but I kind of wish that he had left the show as well after Avilo was removed in protest of the shit that just went down. I can't blame him for being quiet about it, though. | ||

I'm not even a fan of Avilo, but I still didn't find it appropriate to essentially bring him on just to try to make a joke of him under the pretense of trying to have a serious conversation. (Like in the same way Mia Rose was brought on during the drunk episode and Incontrol simply just let loose with really inappropriate sex worker jokes. Great way to turn an amazing episode into just a jumble of awkward awfulness Incontrol). Sorry, I didn't know there was a SotG thread. I am not new to SC...only TL =( The drunk episode, except for the Mia Rose part, was amazing! But you're right, then they totally ruin it with inappropriate jokes and self-demeaning behavior. | ||

I give props to QXC for acting reasonably professionally, but it was a bit disheartening to see Incontrol and Idra acting like a couple of sophmores teasing a freshman. SotG has and will always be a very narrow slice of the SC2 scene. It's completely dominated by their regulars and if you aren't from that circle your opinion doesn't really matter to them. I imagine it's like trying to interview with Fox News, the information is so tightly controlled and they have no problems dumping all over you to get a reaction before they cut you off. | ||

You said it. SOTG : Staracraft community :: FOX News : American people (and this is totally an exaggeration, though it still is pretty bad) | ||

I didn't need background on Avilo for this post. The fact that he wasn't given any respect off the start of the interview doesn't look good at all. I also never said that SotG represents all SC behavior. Also, I didn't accuse anyone of anything, except being disrespectful to someone that I thought didn't deserve it. | ||
