I really dig MLG. Loved their last big event. But to say it was professional to kick 2GD mid stream and then message TOTALBISCUIT rude messages that were meant for 2GD is the very OPPOSITE of professional. | ||

It's not Homestory Cup, it's not a lan with a stream, MLG always presents itself at super high level of professionalism no matter what happens with stream crashes etc. Hmm fair points. The only thing I disagree with is that what he said was in any negative to MLG or any of the sponsors. Unless they specifically told him to "not be yourself" or "you can't say xxxxx" then it's on MLG for not knowing what they asked for. | ||

While this is just Pub Stomping, this guys is properly good and plays without auto aim. I would hope that the pros are required to play without it, but apparently not. | ||

Still have fun playing this game though. W/o autoaim it is pretty fucking hard though. It definitely a requirement imo. | ||

It has a high rate of fire, decent power and pretty easy to control recoil, so most people use it. Yeah, I remember pretty everyone using the FAMAS last time I watched as well. | ||

Are you suggesting that a company's PR/Marketting/Professionalism should be based on how well their stream performs???? McDonalds new slogan: "Badabahbahbah We'll make you a fat fuck" If you are a caster for a company/site/production, you are the face of that brand for the ___ hours that you are on. You put a huge amount of trust into the people that you have cast events which is why our regular roster is small. 2GD made jabs at MLG during Dreamhack which were pretty funny in context - he wasn't working for them, he was working for a "rival" and it was topical. If you are suggesting that when he signs-on for an event that its acceptable for him not to be trust worthy in representing your product then he shouldn't cast anything past community show matches. It's all about context - JP could come on screen in a wifebeater and old jeans. Theres a reason he doesn't present him the same way on stream as when we are at an after party. He doesn't because there's a big focus on professionalism at all times on MLG. .The same isn't true for something like HSC, or even Dream Hack despite how smoothly they both run - the environments are much more relaxed. Either respect that, or don't sign up. DJWheat had lots to say about MLG (after Dallas), on Lo3 and WoC....he wouldn't dare do it during a live broadcast because he "gets it". If this is alien to you, i totally understand that - just don't volunteer your time to casting. 2GD is a very smart articulate boy and knew exactly what he was doing, and as funny as he is, i don't have an ounce of sympathy for him getting yanked. | ||

The only change i'd make would be to yank him after the cast to minimize drama. Lessons learned etc. Think of it from MLG's pov - its a brand new product that they were already having issues with. 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. They knew about 2GD's reputation and casting style with alot of BM like you said and they still got him on. 2GD has his casting style and thats wy people like him......MLG took the risk here and it bit MLG in the ass not 2GD...its not 2GD getting shyt but its MLG that shot themselfs in the foot with doing this. | ||

We need to send these people to a seminar or something. Yep, you would think there's a few people working at MLG that have any knowledge about this. Since I've only been bashing on MLG tonight I just wanna say: Their tournaments are really great, but damn the production staff isn't | ||

It recently got nerfed though, the ADS time is now slower so the AUG is probably the better gun right now. Idk when this game was played but it seems to be pre recorded so it might not have been on the last patch | ||
