You can't expect professionalism when you don't put any in yourself. If you have to be told not to talk shit about your employer you have issues. | ||

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. Meh, if we started late on TSL and one of our casters said "I'm not used to starting late, I guess I should do more TL events" with a laugh or something, we'd probably not kick him off mid-cast. Then again, we're not exactly at the level of MLG with our events yet either (in terms of sponsorship and seriousness). I think it could've been handled better by MLG for sure, esp if that chatlog of the guy thinking it was actually TB is true, lol. It's just a joke and they kind of know what they're getting with 2GD (esp since he made jokes about MLG before?). | ||

If your employer is so amateurish that they can't get their shit together enough to even provide a foolproof contract and NDA, you have issues. Also, 2GD was not employed by MLG, and he didn't talk shit. | ||

If you get 2GD in, you know that this is going to happen. | ||

As a flagship program, it was a sinking one at that from the beginning. All props to JP and people on it, but they had to restart the stream, the overlays were messed up from the beginning (The nuke into video anyone?), players lagging out and being unable to play some events, casters getting dropped from Skype calls. These are only some of the issues they had. This was hardly a good representation of MLG, not even counting the 2GD incident. | ||
