IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

I dunno. With all the caster hate/love that some of these folks get, I have no doubt that casters can influence viewership. The casting at ESL was fantastic I think by the way. I tend to watch a lot of random pub games in the dota client, but rarely watched streamed events until recently, so I can't even remember who the casters were. But they were awesome and i would watch an event with the same casters in a heartbeat

So now people on reddit are linking tweets to ongamers articles.

Does anyone think ongamers will actually survive being banned on reddit? I certainly don't.

To hearken back 7 or so pages (since teapot just started it) who is Richard Lewis?

Ongamers ought to survive in some capacity but how much is up in the air. Cyborgmatt at least produces content that the community values too much to disappear without his own consent.

I don't think he'd get his sources if he was an uneducated as people make him out to be. I think if he didn't let his bitterness fuel him sometimes, he'd be a lot farther than where he is now.

Then again, where he is now seems pretty good + what's farther, so to speak.

I'd bet 4 rares on ongamers rebranding. Also, getting banned 3/4 months after the rebranding, because they got back to their old antics.

It's owned by CBS interactive, so ongamers will be fine. They will just need to find a better way to get coverage to their stories.

Also, because they are owned by CBSI, slashers scrub ass attempts at marketing on reddit is that much more hilarious.

Then again, where he is now seems pretty good + what's farther, so to speak.

as a side note, generally speaking, education has little impact in non specific fields after a certain point in my experience
awful wording but what I mean is that there's many, many paths to success in life that do not require much past an associate's degree

anyhow, the ill educated quip was more of a jab at his literary proficiency. from the two or three articles I've read, his prose is similar to a college freshman's
I guess it's ok if that's the general audience you're trying to target, but I've honestly read essays from high school students that display a better grasp of English. he calls himself a journalist, after all.

Ah, I understood 'ill-educated' meant that he was stupid.

eSports people calling themselves journalists can be interpreted both bad and good, depends how high of a degree you hold that title for.
