If they would have announced it just in one post like that, there would have been far more upsets and uproar i can see your point that it was exciting, but - i guess you read the "mystery announcement"-thread - there were many people hating the policy of EG and they might have sidestepped this by just having teamLiquid announce it. It might have been a "boring" way but maybe a better one and imo more respectful. | ||

By Tyler's own admission, he is too apathetic to practise more than 10 games a week now and he is still competetive. There doesn't seem to have been any point in his SC2 career that he was really practising properly. His fans believe him when he says that he will will recover, that his career has ups and downs, and to wait patiently for him to rise again and know that it'll be fucking sick when he does. Is there really no SOTG this week <:o? Harsh. | ||

It might have been a "boring" way but maybe a better one and imo more respectful. To be fair, I cannot imagine they had predicted there would be a 600+ page thread about the "mystery". There was really no logical reason for the community to produce so much traffic on the forums, and their way of announcing it would not have felt so weird, if it would have stayed as a 12 page thread or something (I bet the 600 page thread would shrink to a dozen pages, if you would remove all posts that repeat something that was already written in a previous post in that same thread). I am basically suggesting, the over-the-top part of the mystery announcement was produced by the community, not really EG, though they are probably super happy with how much exposure their brand got with it.  | ||

And don't get me wrong, I think it was genius and awesome that they did that, I just won't pretend they didn't want the forums to turn into a shitshow for two days. | ||

EG knew full well that people would freak out, they wouldn't have put so much work into it if that wasn't their goal. And don't get me wrong, I think it was genius and awesome that they did that, I just won't pretend they didn't want the forums to turn into a shitshow for two days. Yeah, way too coordinated and thought-out to be unintentionally hype. I mean props to them, it worked. Gets a little old but this was definitely kicking it up a notch. I probably would be more receptive if I were happier about the results. And there better be a show tonight! | ||

Still even before this tweet I was expecting that he might not show for this episode... On top of the Reddit crap and then this being such an emotional issue it would probably be pretty tense. | ||

JP essentially said If tyler wants to come on he's still more than welcome too, however jp hasn't had any confirmation that he will be on. | ||
