whenever i tune into the panel(rarily) i honestly only hear him banter with whoever theyre talking about or talking with. It has the same kind of feel as Thorin, and I absolutely love it.

I think you sound pretty whiny and easily butthurt, or just looking for a reason to bash. but as i said, i havent watched intently and i have a general liking towards that kind of style anyway

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.

One thing I don't get is why InControl isn't here. Ís it his decision, or Dreamhack's?

I think he's entitled to his opinion, if you dislike someone's style and give legitimate reasons it isn't "whiny" or butthurt". You just disagree with them rather than attack the OP personally.

Yeah i wasnt giving a particularily thought-through response, only read the OP which did give the impression of solely wanting to generate hate towards RL, and then just posted

I didn't mention any names.

yeh I don't really understand why you would take Richard Lewis over Incontrol. Geoff is a huge part of the starcraft community and is a fantastic host, plus he really suits the Dreamhack "vibe".

Richard has basically no connection with starcraft as far as i'm aware, I only remember him being incredibly rude and obnoxious about wolf.I pretty much have to have the whole thing muted because his hosting is atrocious and overall very self serving. A good host will keep things flowing and not try to make it the Richard lewis show.

when did he insult someone? oO

If friendly banter goes over your head, then that's your problem.

Do you same twenty people do this for every event Richard hosts?

Richard knows all of these people. Here is a video of Richard interviewing Harstem in 2012. So these two have known each other for at least two and a half years. You have to presume that Harstem and Richard are close enough where this is appropriate. If tournament organizers, for even a second, presumed that he was genuinely making players feel uncomfortable, he would not continue to get these gigs. And he's getting loads across multiple games.

I agree with this and the OP. The banter is lacking this DH when it goes to the pannel

I think the whole panel should be comprised of Wax and Wax clones. Or Wax and stuchiu clones.

This. Please close this thread.
And RL is not insulting anybody, he is joking. He is on good terms with everybody and it's just banter. He is doing a great job.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I dont think at all hes trying to make it the Richard Lewis show, i just think the sc2 community has an annoying tendency to immediately want to crucify anyone with some edge, and has a desperate need to share it, so we get these threads that have no intention or purpose except to rally the minority that hates.

The only thing I have against this is his lack of experience or knowledge about SC2 (which he has the grace to admit and act like), but beyond that I think he's a great choice assuming Geoff was off the board

He's insufferable but oh well, I just don't watch when he's around.
