Where is the line drawn for competitive games and player customization? Do you think Dota2 is beginning to overstep that line? Can a competitive fps game be (partially) sustained by an ingame store, if yes what would you be able to buy (reborn bait)?

For an example of what I mean: Polar opposites, Heroes of Newerth and Quake Live.
In HoN you can change the model, animations and color of almost any hero provided you have bought said item - and other players will see that skin.

In Quake Live you can force enemy models, completely disregarding your opponents' customization.

I'm very sleepy and I'm not sure if this is coherent enough to understand, hf.

Q1: Did SingSing leave the team on good terms? Can we still expect appearances from him on the GD show?
Q2: How are the red panda's doing? How's morale?
Q3: Bruno is an awesome addition to the GD team, do you feel you want to expand the team even more or is it size-wise big enough for you? (until Reborn is released and you want an expert panel for that segment of course)
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!

What's a lesson that working in eSports has taught you?

If you could write a book about anything, in any genre, what would you write?

How many languages do you speak?

Did you have a lot of friends growing up?

Q: How did you feel like when after graduating and not following a traditional career path? Are there days that you wish you had a normal job?

Q: What drives you do what you do? Is the feeling of being free and living a careless live or is it something else?

Q: How many hours a week do you work?

All the best to you, I envy you for following your dream and "making it". Good luck James.




Comments from people on reddit:
+ Show Spoiler +

- Are you ever planing to grow back your lovely hair?

- What do you think about the recent TPL scandal? The way various parties handled things?

- For how long do you see yourself being involved in the dota scene?

-How does it feel to be one of the main reasons that eSports has made the push to get more established casting studios? After the 2GD studio really kicked into gear, it forced other studios, even including the at-the-time near monopolistic JoinDota team, to step up their game and add things like post-game commentary, in-game statistics, and overlays. I even think that 2GD studios was the reason spectator mode in the Dota 2 client has gotten upgrades like a Rosh timer and item indicators.

In my mind, you're undeniably a large reason for those changes. How does it feel to be such a large part of the way we experience Dota as viewers, and, even greater, how both outsiders and insiders perceive Dota and eSports as valid as regular sports?

- What's your advice for someone who's looking to get involved seriously with the esports scene?

- What do you think of the dota2 pro scene and their constant recycling of pro players? What do you think needs to happen to get more fresh blood in to the dota2 pro scene?

- As a UK Dota player, are you still involved much in the UK Scene? We need some proper tournaments.

- Dear James, we met at gamescom 2013 and you politely show your middle finger in the picture we took together. Were you upset that there wasnt any Dota 2 there? I was.

- How it feels to be loved by majority of the e-sport community(SC2,Dota2) despite having unconcerned/sarcastic personality.

P.S:You are a cool guy,though.

- Do you ever feel too old for gaming...

- Why are girls so difficult to talk to? Please respond.

I would probably call myself a 2GD fanboy, but I'm still pretty sure he's actually a bit of a twat and it's not just his image.

I remember fragging him a couple times in Quake 4, as well as other English men like Garpy or Hell (/Vizari). Those were fun times where anyone could play famous pros on public servers, because there weren't that many players.

I remember his funny line "it's quiet here in the studio" of the WSVG finals, though in my opinon the first bo3 between Toxic and Fatality was rigged. Just to make the finals more interresting and make it look less 1 sided.

Q : Do you regret that FPS games like Quake didn't get their gameplay modernized (like BW -> Starcraft 2 or Team Fortress Classic -> TF2) ? What expectations did you have about Shootmania even if it didn't succeed as an esports game, despite many pros having switched to it ?

Well he shared what he wanted to share, so most people that follow 2gd or the gd-studio already know.

Q: Who is your favorite female pornstar?

What do you feel is still the biggest mistake made by teams/players/tournaments that hasn't been addressed ?
