haha apperantly mlg got upset with the mlg/dreamhack joke! How lame!

Haha so jokes... I think it was more of the dreamhack plug afterwards was more that did it then just the comment about it being an mlg event. They probably paid him to do this cast and to plug another competing organization is unprofessional even if it was just a joke. Although in retrospect I bet MLG wish they just had a bit thicker skin.

Actually quite enjoying this Quake. Hope they keep up the newb friendly bits. Like this talk of aim... I have a vague idea what they mean. More talk about what weapons are good why they are good etc... or how they're approaching the map would really help an ultra newb.

Well, Quake Live is free and you can play it in your browser. So the easiest way to get to know the weapons is just to play it for a few minutes

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

"But it was a joke!"

(edit: I thought the joke was funny.)

it's true, but 2GD is a known troll, it was to be expected really...

MLG should have done a backup check on 2GD before getting him to cast this. Hes a huge troll, some stupid jokes are to be expected =P

With all the disconnects, stream restarts and bad production quality we've seen today, the last thing MLG should do is try to act professional.

He's doing MLG a bigger favour by casting for them than they did him. Also to other people, you must be naive if you think the quote is fake. Why would he just leave when he was hyped to commentate this without any explanation by Slasher/Stermy? Obviously he was removed.

Have you ever seen a fucking shooter game lol? ''Dudes running around and shooting each other'' That's basically every FPS..
There is way more to the game, but you should watch a few more games, the timings that we see, they don't have for example.

Quake's the most demanding FPS esport skill-wise but not everyone can get behind the whole weapon/player spawn based gameplay. Recognizing the importance of strategic locations based upon the value of the items that spawn there and assigning importance to it as a bystander is probably the biggest thing against Quake from a spectator's perspective, at least when we're talking about the sport struggling for viewers. While the level of play is obviously amazing to me it has always felt hollow compared to just about any team objective based shooter*

Is this for real?? That's it, I'm closing down the stream in that case. Do not want to support such BS.

I really think MLG did more damage to themselves than they did to 2GD. It's like kicking Tastosis out for bad jokes.

If that is true, I will close the stream too. If he comes back, I leave it open.
