SC is hard to comprehend for someone who doesn't play it. This is why it will never do great on TV / for broad audiences.

Yeah that was a really interesting question involving the actual game


They don't really have a lot to go off of. Only "maybe's" from Blizzard.

Besides, they've talked about it a bit before.

This censorship talk is boring as fuck but it does highlight other stuff said earlier. Anna said earlier that there are two aspects that define streamers , personality and skill. Destiny gets his high numbers from his personality, Idra also is widely known for his personality.
this is the reason they probably feel the need to protect their personality on their streams. and on their streams they feel like they are showcasing themselves and not the game.

Incontrol and Tyler, feel the other way. Tyler had a previous history with his conduct but nowadays he sees the growth of the community and he acts real professional. these two guys believe that when they stream they are showcasing the game and the community that surrounds it.

it's purely a philosophical difference, the guys got nowhere when they argued about it.

The only thing i can say is that, all of them agreed that when they were casting for a tournament, they would try to restrain their language, even destiny and Idra agreed here. What makes it so that a tournament becomes more of a showcase for the game, moreso than a stream? Destiny and Idra's streams both get more viewers than tons of tournaments, doesn't that mean if you're more likely to offend people by saying something controversial on the stream.

though then again, Destiny shouldn't give a fuck about that on their stream since there's clearly an explicit language bar for his stream, and not on most other streams. his viewers should know what they're getting into

I'm just recalling different IdrA quotes right now.

I'm glad they're talking serious stuff. I respect incontrol's maturity and rationality. I respect Destiny's rationality.

The majority of my friends don't have it. Age 22-24 age group.

yeah, most people at college ages maybe spend more time on the computer than anyone else.
I only watch TV when I back home, and if there is a soccer match going on. If I am at my dorm, I never touch a TV in ages.

People should wait until they get a bit older. I thought at 24 I wouldn't have cable ever. A few years later I have to say I have done a complete change of mind. It is easy while you are young to not think about it, though you will change eventually. The internet stays forever young, you will not. Though I have to say I don't really care if SC2 ever came to TV. Especially under the western model (which only Soccer/Football for the rest of the world plays without interrupted commercials).

Considering Leah's on, G4 and ESPORTS is a perfect example of why we're scared of SC2 on TV. We don't need SC2 getting Sesslerized.

Thats interesting, cus I have yet to see anyone really get upset at using the word rape in a videogame context. If it was such a big deal, wouldnt you think alot more would cry out?


The fact of the matter is that the two streams that pull the highest consistent numbers both contain offensive language and when it's used, we laugh about it and enjoy it. IdrA's language represents the SC2 community more than anyone else's.


99% of idra's "bm" is telling other players they are bad. Not really offensive to anyone. The occasional "waste of life" isn't taken seriously by anyone who isn't an idiot. If idra had the option to let someone die or to save their life, do people really think he would let someone like cruncher die because he dislikes him in a video game?

99% of IdrA's bm is calling people 'faggots'.

"cheesy faggots"

"you're disgusting. go die."


"building carriers is a very useful talent toi have"


"Firebats, OctoberZerg's natural enemy"

"isn't it funny
you won without doing a single thing"


"apologize for playing that race"

Disagree. Its more serious than usual at least we have topics people can talk about instead of "so, did you guys watch GSL last night?" "No."

This is probably the most boring and redundant State of the Game I have ever seen and I am glad that InControl is leaving.

I wish that they would stop their ranting on topics that aren't starcraft related and that they would allow Idra to talk.

Not having a lot to go off has not stopped them in many other topics lol. But yeah if they have talked about it before i can understand it.
