OK, so this one is far fetched, and my personal opinion only. We can talk about how the vocal minority is still a minority, but I believe shit like that - all the whining, focusing on unimportant details, derailing the hype, the feeling of artificiality, weird format changes, the constant focus on money and exposure - just drains the drive, the soul, the fun from the experience. Like, the vast majority of posts related to TI hype I read over the last few months focused on how much money the winner will get and how many stretch goals we've reached so far. It got so meta, you had close to no focus on the game itself, on the teams, on the players - and who's to be surprised by that when all we strove for was to spread the word of eSports? You know what eSports means? It means money, exposure, ignorance, ads, deals, business, entertainment, hats, prize pools, casuals - none of which was what drove the first competitive gamers to do what they did. No matter how we see it or how we think hard it is for them to adapt to the new standards, the reality is there and while I might sound sore and harsh, I've seen this bullshit before and I have no temptation towards it anymore. We're not a community anymore, we're just a part of society. | ||

I like the concept of press conference, it just feels very empty and these players aren't exactly the most verbose | ||

2GD may not host TI next year. Not hungry enough and too many early mornings. Wants to do something else. | ||
