Please do not derail the thread with discussions or accusations of racism.

Throwaway caster bashing posts will also be actioned.

No accusations of matchfixing.

People who think this is awkward have never watched a sports press conference before. It's not an interview, it's sitting there waiting for dumb questions.

This is true. They should let Twitch chat ask the questions.

... ?

"will you end racism rotk? biblethump"
"SEX BURNING"
"rotk will you feed? kappa"

do you really want this


The way I see it, this is a vast improvement over "How does it feel to be playing for $1 million dollars each?"

And that's a comment on these questions, not on the quality of Twitch chat.

Pick heroes with ranged AoE and counterpushing skills and don't buy Midases a minute before they're going to push your rax.

I agree . In some cases though buying midas is ok.

If there is anything I can appreciate out of SC2 tournaments is how they feel much smoother and less awkward than TI4 overall.

Take out furion and lycan -- first ban or first pick them. These two are the biggest pushers in game


We've seen so many games where they take highground before 20 minutes without either of those heroes, though.

Still a million times better than chess media. Now those are some painful press conferences.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

yeah, most press conferences are super boring and we only get to watch the rare fun moments when people on the stage make jokes or whatever

Sports conferences all have that awkward silence inbetween questions... Whats wrong here are the awful and obvious questions

I'm not sure anyone here as watched a "real" sports presser in full and not just sound bites. Sometimes athletes are so tired they just sit there looking dazed. Then there are the coaches that just laugh at stupid questions (yeah, traditional media ask stupid questions too).
