The SC2 cast before it was laced with swear words from TLO/MrBitter/Ret which is huge nono and probably already left them uncomfortable. On top of that there are sponsors watching - MLG are promoting it a lot and when you have a loose cannon who has a history of shitting on you (teasing or not - sponsors dont care about that) it looks incredibly bad. I'm not surprised they yanked 2GD - i'm more surprised Slasher convinced everyone to give him shot (after dreamhack). Whats he going to do next - say that Astro is a shit brand and that he only uses Razer headsets? The trust is gone at that point. I think 2GD is really entertaining, and his BM is pretty funny - but don't pull your bitch-forks out when it bites him in the ass. What the story behind Dreamhack and 2GD I was only watching sc2. | ||

Do sponsors look out for this boring RAMBO blops interview, or an entertaining production and caster, who is able to crack jokes in the downtime to hold people? | ||

If they hire a caster and get uncomfortable easily maybe they should look up who 2gd actually is, he is no sweet little english boy that tells that the company he works for is the best. He says what he feels and takes it was too far most of the time like calling Matt gay atleast one time per cast at ESL when they commentated WOW | ||

If they're going to be so butthurt about nothing then they should've done their freaking jobs and made shit like that clear to their casters beforehand, like a professional organization. You can't expect professionalism when you don't put any in yourself. | ||

The main point is that what he said wasn't particularly harmful nor anything that hadn't been said before by other employees of MLG. I also think they really made a small PR problem way way worse with how they handled it, they pretty much ruined the Quake cast since Stermy is Italian and is not honestly a good commentator and Slasher is.. Slasher. | ||

If the E-sports community isn't mature enough to handle such things without everyone crying about a little joke or some swear words, then I don't foresee a bright future for it, this happens everywhere in the 'normal' world. | ||
