EPTThis 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.

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. On May 10 2015 00:42 CursOr wrote: id much prefer incontrol, but i don't think hes this "horrible" 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. | ||

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's a nice guy, but he's... seasoned, as Twitch chat would say. RL is just an asshole. | ||

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

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 | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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 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 | ||

It's just a shame that these guys are the best we've got, at least you can mute/ignore the host streams, which sort of takes a lot of fun out of watching events. im just curious, how do you find RL and thorin entitled, and which of them made you feel so revolted you had to make an account just to bash them? | ||

Their constant need to bash others because they feel like they are the sole saviors of the csgo-scene (which is where we get to see them a lot), where they, as the hosts of every event say whatever they want and get away with it. I dislike that shit. I feel like a host should show respect towards the game/the gamers which is something I don't feel like either of them do. I don't remember my old tl login/email, so I just logged in via steam. | ||
