I miss the days when SOTG had pro players as guests. The last time they did that was what, like 20+ episodes ago? Stand-in's for pillars that don't show doesn't count. Just gets some fresh opinions and interactions in the show that I'm not used to.

Probably tyler is scared to talk more because mainly teams/organisations shoudl talk O_o.

I don't know, that answer just really was weird to me. Players are not supposed to give answers about their situation/reasons to do certain things because they belong to teams?

Uhm... I bet most players in any sport that just "leave the field" after the first set/half time/whatever give a statement themselves or the team does it... Just giving "no" statement (and at the same time kinda disaproving the leagues statement) seems extremely weird to me?

I'm sure there is a reason for the "no comment" policy of tyler/teamliquid... But something like "due to a private emergency tyler was unable to participate in g2..." (or whatever, even if it's a lie) should be possible?


Btw: I really enjoyed this Sotg, nice "work" .

I loved the fact that the guy from Star Nation was on there, but why make it a formulaic interview segment when half the time there's dead air when no one can think of a question? He's in your house and he's apparently staying the night, just keep him around the rest of the show and let him talk when he has something to say or someone involves him in the conversation. What's wrong with that?

It seems like JP doesn't even really like doing the podcast anymore. He mutes the chat and tells them that they "make him not want to produce the show anymore." The conversation topics are more dull than they used to be. Whenever I watch I now have to sit through 10 commercials that half the time I can't even mute. During the actual meat of the show it's just JP expecting his hosts to talk about things in sequence (and getting frustrated when they don't) rather than actually having a conversation. Kind of frustrating to watch now.

A lot of people leave public statements up to their PR's. I mean it would be nice to hear it from Tyler, but oh well.

Yeah, but someone makes a statement... On this there was/is like none and the one NASL gave was kinda put in question?

Did it occur to any of you that you are watching a free show for which Progamers take time out of their day to answer your questions and offer high-level analysis for discussion topics that they might not give a shit about? Or the fact that sometimes JP needs to get some fucking rest and it's not his fault that he couldn't upload the VOD for your viewing pleasure?

All these
"OMG WHERES THE VODS IM GONNA DIE"
"OMG INCONTROL IS SO ANNOYING DIAMOND LEVEL ANALYSIS"
"OMG WTF NO GUESTS WTF"
comments are fucking ridiculous.

What the fuck is wrong with you people. Try to be grateful for a change.

If you spend time getting angry or obsessing about how your needs aren't being met instead of realizing that free shit is nice to have, go find something else to do. Jesus.
