I know what you are referring to but I just don't know why it is relevant/what "crap they later pulled off lol" means.
They were shit talking him for expanding into another game when there was no sign of improvement during the blord/infestor phase iirc, since then every one of them except painuser has been doing "non starcraft" stuff, especially djwheat.
IIRC correctly mostly they were just shit talking him because of how hard he was pushing the "SC2 is dead" mindset.
He was pushing the "sc2 is dying because blizzard won't fix protoss, blord/infestor etc" which it absolutely was lol
But then they fixed it with HotS.... Don't bring this shit up.
I know, and he's since returned and been casting tournaments.
Whatever haha I don't subscribe the the Destiny mindset of "SC2 is dying because it is going through a rough patch(har har no pun intended)"
We're not talking about now though, we're talking about the time at which that video was posted, and that the people slamming him are gigantic hypocrites and haven't apologised or called out every other big name who's since slinked out without a word.
Apart from that, if the broodlord infestor period continued then sc2 would have continued declining, and I just don't see how thats arguable.
Yeah but there was a complete lack of faith or patience with Blizzard when there was an announced expansion on the way.
5 months into blord infestor zvz, with endless examples of blizzard ignoring pro players commentary on just how retarded the match ups were with no sign of change and you want to rely on faith? That's insane.
Not surprised about some games not streamed to be honest. They really did not plan the schedule very well when they thought they could do all games in reasonable time for the players.

It's bad that they aren't broadcasting all matches but of course they're gonna show Naniwa over that match. Foreigners bring in viewers after all.
