Rachel is doing fine. Some better questions and I am completely happy. It's a bit of work and creativity but she will get there. At least she's not going the easy way with "How are you feeling?". She's trying to do something better and isn't nailing it completely - yet. Give her time and tell what her she could do better! Be positive people.

Agreed, especially when Taeja got this result less than 2 weeks ago =/
this only shows that MMA sucks at TvT, stop making things up
And 2-0 vs MVP means nothing?
this is TvT and against someone who has exploding wrists
bo5s and bo7s in multiple meetings determine if one is good at the MU or not.
MVP has had exploding wrists for ages and still won a GSL this year and currently in RO16 Code S. Yes he isn't as dominant as he used to be, but 2-0 MVP is no easy feat.
2-0ing any code S terran is not an easy feat, doesnt automatically mean that the personawho managed to accomplish this is super proficient at the matchup

what do you want her to ask? "how do you feel winning the series?"
If she asks standard questions, she's a bad host for asking the typical terrible questions that get boring answers. If she tries to mix it up, she's a bad host for asking irrelevant questions. If she asks questions about the game but in a kind of inflammatory manner to try and get a different response, she's a bad host.
Poor girl, I do not envy her.
She just needs to do what Tasteless did. Find someone she trusts to give her quality feedback and ignore everyone else, especially people on the internet.
we just want her to do her job,
No you don't, because you would just bitch about that as well. It's the same story for every host, she just happens to get it even worse because she's a good looking female and a majority of TLers are elitist bigots.
What are you talking about? I've seen relatively positive feedback for hosts recently including Soe.
Would be cool if she could do a bit of research maybe, ask a question about the game now and again.
She just did ask two questions about the two games and received four pages of hate.

Guess you don't remember the "omg so awkward. Terrible questions. Soe obv only there because she's cute" remarks of last NASL finals.

I imagine that winning the title "Miss of something as big as England" does not mean that much in England, but hey... it works this way only in England

Ya I agree. No one even knows most of this. She has done so much for esports.
It's not like everyone hates Rachel as a person and thinks she's done nothing for esports, It's just criticism of her performance at this event and WCS EU.
You can appreciate and like someone and still be critical.
I think that especially at WCS EU she did a pretty good job. What was wrong with her performance there? She seemed pretty comfortable around the players, especially around Stephano in the interviews.

you clearly haven't seen any of her interviews tonight. The majority here finds them awful and awkward as $hit
Man, you aren't a majority. Doesn't matter how big you are,

anyone hating on rachel is killing esports! and no she is not there for the ass and tits. She has been doing esports for a very long time! pls check out her tours of korean sc2 pro houses on youtube!
Meh, I normally really like Rachel, but I have to agree her questions are really damn weird. Some people here take the criticism too far, with sexual insults, but she is definitely off today, she is usually way better. :/ Maybe she got an idea, and is trying it, but things aren't turning out well. Or something. Seems like she's trying to do something a little different at least, but this one is a miss unfortunately.
