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 knew about the Chinese things of excluding BTS tournaments but I am interested in other stuff

Been a while since we had decent drama.

More than that, he doesn't care because as soon as the next patch hits he's done with Dota 2.

He kept v1lat out of ESL One Frankfurt, for a start. That's the only other one I know about recently, but as I said I'm well out of the behind the scenes stuff these days.

he also said something like "considering his options", which hints that he probably wants to do something more reliable since the whole ongamers reddit ban drama.

He did say he was taking a break from Dota in September, but this seems to be some drastic bridge burning

Competition between broadcast personalities has always been a thing in every entertainment industry. That gets filed under the "life is hard, get a helmet" category.

And folks, Matt is going on vacation for a month. I don't think he is leaving forever, or he might look to have a different role.

Its owned by Gamespot, I think it will make it now that they got rid of the people who can't simple instructions.(Fuck Slasher).


AFAIK a lot of the onGamers people got laid off after slasher resigned

Tobi and v1lat aren't in competition, though. They serve different markets. Just pure vindictiveness.

I did not know that. To be fair, a lot of people got laid off at Gamespot recently(like around that time), so that might not have been specific to Ongamers performance.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't realize they had a dota 2 team other than Matt and Slasher when he wasn't slurping the Riot penis.

If your big enough to say, "I don't want to work with that guy" and it happens, then that is how it is. I get that its kinda mean, but I don't have a problem with it on a professional level. There are employees in my own firm that I don't work with unless someone makes me, because I don't like them.

Well, StarLadder (V1lat by extension) replaced joinDOTA with BTS a couple seasons ago and Tobi was not happy about that. Seemed like he found out when the announcement was made. There's plenty of dirty laundry in the scene. You got some personal beef with Tobi, tough luck, but he's by no means the only bad guy and the rest saints, as you're making it look like.

Heyyyyyooooooooo!

I am with him, though. Slasher sucks and was one of the most short sighted reporters I have ever seen. The guy couldn't publish a story without burning at least 2 bridges.

I went to r/dota2 today and am thusly filled with bitterness and disgust towards most denizens of the internet.
