I don't think there is too much to discuss really. EG lied about the reasons why Goeff left SotG.That's all.I mean what are you going to add to that. People wouldn't be pissed off if this didn't leak out like this and if this would have been told to us up front. I don't hate EG for any reason,taking Goeff of the show,blabla. All we are disappointed about is that EG lied to us. This is a fact and im not sure how a discussion about it will help but whatever.

If it wasn't on ITG I am sure LO3 would cover it.

It's okay people! ITG and SOTG are both great shows. I'm sure inc and IdrA will make guest appearances on SOTG in the future whenever it returns. I know change is difficult. I'm glad that EG is taking the time to explain to the community as to why inc left the show, even though they don't have to explain anything to anyone. I really hope this will shut down all the hatin', trollin', and bashin' that idiots keep throwing towards ITG and EG. It probably won't, but a solid move by EG. Can't wait to watch :D . wheat fo' life.

We at least gotta see how EG will spin it in an attempt to protect their PR. That's half the fun.

Why not just say "okay guys we want our players to practise more and not be on community shows for awhile, we're sorry about that but we need to do this for tournament results." Instead they lie, total BS from them. I really doubt people would QQ much if they would just have told the truth from the begining

My prediction: They'll say it was a misunderstanding and they just advised their players to cut their non-gaming activities a bit. Then incontrol is going to make fun about everyone who criticized EG.

I'm glad they're explaining because it would be nice if the people who believe that they are entitled to know everything about anything would shut up. The fact is, it's none of anyone's business, they said that because it was an easy answer. It doesn't matter, it doesn't change the fact that inc is no longer going to be a pillar of sotg.
edit: I'm also not supporting their decision about lying. But anything that they do with their players is their choice not yours or anyone's. I don't see where the community's entitlement to approve or disapprove of a company's decision making comes from.

Real classy by incontrol and EG. SOTG is the only reason incontrol is even a factor in SC2 and he and EG decide to shit all over it, somehow I'm not even surprised :o

Really?
First of all, anybody is entitled to approve or disapprove of absolutely anything. It's called having an opinion (and expressing it).
Second of all, community approval is a guideline for what's good and bad for the company (especially for an essentially entertainment-oriented company). So community approval should very much affect the decisions a company makes.

I guess the only part I dont get is why he left a show that was refreshing and interesting to listen to for a show with a tired format. I mean the decision was obviously his to leave, but the least you guys could do in return is provide a show worth watching.
