I'm probably overstepping my boundaries asking this, but seriously, why is he there? He's insulting the other casters, insulting the players, and he's just an asshole in general.

This is very cringe-worthy and this guy isn't a journalist. He just brigades online and shits all over everybody and it's so obvious he's trying to be a jackass without getting the shit beat out of him live on stand.

I'm pretty sure Thorin wouldn't make a paper tombstone joking about Harstem losing then insult him in front of what is probably 100,000+ people in total. This guy is horrible.

Plus iirc Thorin didn't brigade, manipulate Reddit vote counts, and manage to get himself banned from the biggest subreddit (League of Legends) then blame it on the mods.

Plus Thorin didn't make fun of somebody being suicidal then wonder why he suddenly isn't liked. This guy is an asshat and I can't believe he's here. Everything he says makes my stomach churn.

Yeah, he's horrible. Look at what I said above.

Even if we forget all of this and we just talk about his casting at DH so far, he's just pissed people off so far. Twitch chat is just telling him to get off the stage and mods aren't even banning them for it, probably because they agree.

Also his game knowledge is shit, he just echoes what Nate and ToD are saying but also subtlety adding that little "Let me tell you what it actually is because you're only kind of correct"

THIS.

What finally set me off to write this despite it not really being all that fancy of a post is because his knowledge is shit. You'd think he was a Silver league player. This guy needs to go beg to be unbanned from LoL or something.

Couldn't agree more. The burn onto Harstem is basically little more than bitch-slapping someone after they've had a bad day. It really doesn't look good. Incontrol burns, but at least its made in the spirit of friendly banter, or somewhat like that. Richard Lewis just....insults. In a way that makes me cringe when I think of the people he is shit-talking must feel.

He's a wild character like incontrol... he creates drama which people find entertaining... and yeah this thread will get closed
I had a dream I moved to Korea to become a GSL champion. I slept in PC bangs and practiced only vs the PC. I named my self Death and faced Life in the finals. I beat him, but ended up dying as I killed his last building.

Oh god, now he's shitting all over Wax too. What the fuck RL? I'm sure there will be a 95% upvoted Reddit post about this soon.

I feel sorry for Wax, RL is just shitting on everybody including the players that would make him suck his own dick in a match.

He doesn't create drama, he shits on people. iNcontroL can have some drama around him but it's usually funny and it's not just being mean. He's a nice guy, but he's... seasoned, as Twitch chat would say. RL is just an asshole.

Drama in the form of uncomfortable shots fired, in front of a public audience and +10,000 viewers isnt really something we want to see. The Artosis-Incontrol burns in Dreamhack last year, that was fun, as it was just really friendly banter. But this just feels uncomfortable, and if this is entertaining, I'd rather be rid of this guy and his aggressive pep talking and have milder casters.

Harstem got 3-0'd and RL drew on a paper "RIP HARSTEM" and put it on a baguette while he was talking shit about how Harstem plays.

I think you're being "slightly" too sensitive.

You might not like him (I don't either) but how is he insulting everyone? I followed 90% of this dreamhack and I didn't really see what you're talking about... sure, he often makes some sarcastic comments, but nowhere near "insults". He is trying to be funny but it looks awkward because he isn't friends with the other guys.

I find it hilarious that you are quoting twitch chat when they massively shit talk on everyone regardless.

Go ahead and watch the game right now. As soon as it ends he'll give a "you suck" attitude towards whoever lost.

I agree, that guy is really bad. The only thing he has going for him is the british accent, which apparently is all it takes nowadays to make you an eSports host.

Don't even dare comparing him to Incontrol, wtf. Incontrol is a boon to our community.
