The mediocre interviews, articles and patch analysis will be sorely missed. He is going to have vacation.. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||
