Bruh I think that's your fanboyism leaking out. qtpie is only implying not to believe either of them. I'd wager that qtpie knows about as much as we do about this whole fiasco, which is virtually nothing. He's simply stating that HSGG shouldn't be flamed when we don't know shit about what really happened yet. | ||

Pro gamers talk amongst themselves you know and its very likely some who have actually worked with DLift have told him (qtpie) what an ass DL is. | ||

Hotshot deserves the criticism for coming out with stuff that doesn't correlate to anything the TSM owner or HIS OWN TEAMS CEO has said and being completely thin skinned about anything Doublelift did. I mean he was really pissed off about Doublelift making a joke out of throwing the CLG jersey in the trash. Doublelift has publicly said he was a bad teammate and an asshole, there's nothing new there. | ||

Both hotshot and doublelift have been making public statements while being emotionally unstable. Criticizing one more than the other for that sounds to me like being a fanboy of the other. | ||

I think you're right that his stuff was (almost completely) uncorrelated with what mylixia said (the only thing i could find was this: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1snpgqn ), but the two were (mostly) talking about different things, so that's to be expected. Both hotshot and doublelift have been making public statements while being emotionally unstable. Criticizing one more than the other for that sounds to me like being a fanboy of the other. Difference is, LiftLift acknowledged he was pissed off, also said numerous times he wished nothing but the best for CLG. He told people to still watch and root for CLG, and he even said he thought they would be a better team because they have an amazing staff. NidaleeGG literally said nothing positive about liftlift that he wasn't forced to acknowledge because of Thorin's question. Not to mention, one is a player, one is a CEO. You have to act differently in these roles. If a service rep says some stupid shit, whatever he might just be pissed off cuz he lost his raise due to being late or some shit. If the CEO says some stupid shit, you know the corporate culture is rotten to the core. There is a reason most CEO's never sit in front of a camera and always just release pre-fabricated press-releases the PR team wrote. That is just how the world works. You expect different responses from a Lebron James than you would if Len Komoroski were to be asked the same questions. There is a reason for that. | ||

(Dan Gilbert being the owner of the NBA team Cleveland Cavaliers; he wrote a public letter after LeBron left the first time.... it's fondly remembered as a joke by the general NBA fandom to this day. A copy of the letter can be read here) | ||

I'm more interested in how TSM is gunna fill up the rest of their line up. Bjergsen + DL is an amazing combo and base to build a team around. | ||

(Dan Gilbert being the owner of the NBA team Cleveland Cavaliers; he wrote a public letter after LeBron left the first time.... it's fondly remembered as a joke by the general NBA fandom to this day. A copy of the letter can be read here) Great comparison. Gilbert was never able to put a competent roster around James his 1st time around pretty much like Hotshot minus the last split for the 1st time in 4 years. Only difference is that DL was kicked and James left for a better team (though I suppose both did leave for better team because I'd much rather trust the team led by Pat Riley over Dan Gilbert and the comic sans crew). | ||

I felt that Hotshott took a looooot of credit for things that I am not sure if just BS. He also really painted himself as extremely misunderstood and victimized by almost everyone and really did not give any positive qualities to anyone he has had beef with in the past. Even a lot of his compliments were kind of backhanded to people like Regi. Could be that he just doesn't know how to properly express his thoughts but He came off as being very "The world has shafted me greatly" while also teasing about leaking "the real stories" about what happened behind the scenes. But no you guys he is totally being the bigger man and taking the high road rofl. All he did was say "yea DL is a monster, but because I won't tell you the specifics I am being the better man even though he betrayed me". That being said, I actually liked the end where he stated his new goals and vision for the team and the overall ideology behind it (if it isn't just for the PR). | ||

It's like when Alundra Blayze / Madusa threw the WWF Women's title in the trash on WCW Nitro saying she's now in the better organization. ...That was (arguably) the start of the monday night wars. It's terrible example to use if you're trying to make the point that "getting mad about it is idiotic". | ||

Actually the start of the monday night wars was hogan going over to WCW, but more when Hall/Nash appeared and the nWo took ratings from Raw for the first time. But look at it from a business standpoint, Vince was pissed but did he go on Raw and rant? No he developed his brand better. Hotshot/ff is not helping his brand by ranting and screaming, then saying he has proof... then deleting all his posts hoping no one screenshotted them. He's ruining the image of his organisation by himself. | ||

I agree with you, but I think your example doesn't really make this point, since your explanation highlighted the significant differences between the two situations rather than the similarities. If you just wanted to talk about this specific moment in wrestling, which I suspect is the case because you posted it twice on this page, then that's cool. It was a cool moment. Doublelift didn't do as good a job with it as Alundra Blayze, though, imo. | ||
