LOL, a little bias maybe towards Grubby? Considering the vast majority of the people that watch SOTG are americans that are not very familiar with Grubby and huge supporters of DAY9, an american, I dont think MOST people would be happy.

Anyone who played WC3 (A really big portion of the community) knows Grubby very well. He is our elder. A president of sorts.

one might even say he is our emperor



You go too far, sir!

Why are you trying to replace day9? Grubby is cool and all, but Grubby wasnt at the WCGs or in the practice games with these guys that has madr their chemistry so great.

Grubby / Steelseries "debacle"? lol, Grubby didn't deliver, sponsorship was dropped. Welcome to the real world. Replacing Day9 with grubby? Are you guys serious? He can be a guest host, but a pillar? Good god thank you TL

Grubby?

Could we get like, AN terran on the show?
State of the Protoss is kinda annoying, but I guess that doesnt matter since no one even talks about the game anymore

Nothing is stable because sponsors need to see ROI(return on investment). Esports has not has shining results in the past and sponsors are always looking for better places to spend their money.

Several team managers have stated it is harder to keep a sponsor than to get one.
Which is why I don't understand why so many people in esports are clambering to follow mainstream physical sports in a sponsorship based business model.

I'm fine with a subscription model for SotG as long as they can guarantee regular content. The tournament schedule can get pretty hectic and demanding. All the hosts are casters or players, there's probably going to be times when it's going to be tough to make it on State of the game. If the hosts are willing to commit to putting SotG above attending tournaments or other areas of their work then fine go for it. I don't think they are though and i don't think they should be.

Why not just have a donations button and if you donate you get a special symbol next to your name in chat and get put in a lottery to play 4v4s with the hosts? I think that would be a better option considering the nature of the show and you wouldn't be building any expectations that may be difficult to meet.

I'm kindof on the same page, I just don't understand why SotG doesn't spam 5 commercials during the usual three breaks in the show instead of letting us watch the logo with strange music (no offence JP). That way they'd get some $$$ with the usual 30k viewers and then with the people watching later they can just put one at the beginning of the VoD. Simple cash, not too annoying for anyone and we're not asking for anything more or less!

Indeed, I don't know how much revenue they're looking to achieve but i think they should try other options before starting a subscription system.

I don't have anything against Grubby, but replacing Day[9] at all would really deter me from watching. He's my favorite host on the show by far, as well as being my favorite ESPORTS personality.

Why the fuck is there an AN before Terran?

Grubby should come on just so Geoff can troll his accent, let's have an all Protoss 2.0 episode with WhiteRa, Grubby, Huk, Nani, and Hasu plus the hosts.

I as a transgender bisexual asian/eskimo feel like I need to be represented as well. This is preposterous, Sotg are really just hating on everybody, Oh yeah I live in Europe too and the only way I will be able to sleep at night is knowing that some poor soul has to be awake at ridiculous time every tuesday for me. Otherwise I will forever stop watching anything sotg related ever since not representing every minority is being awfully racist.
