I don't understand the point of even bringing up the subject if you've heard 400 different things JP, especially when the things you mention aren't verified at all. Despite your intentions people will now listen, hear this, and form a negative opinion on TB because of this. | ||

He was invited as a main caster, miss-communication happened and TB said on his twitter he said he had no beef with GLHF.tv, infact he totally understood the situation.

Never did I deny him cutting back but what i said was referring to them saying he is cutting back on sc2 because of the GLHF situation. | ||

His only source of money is youtube and he spends 10 hours a day working on his videos. It doesn't relate to Assembly. Considering he tweeted immediately after the assembly fiasco, i'd bet it does. @ guy above you have to use this thing called your brain he tweeted that he was going to reduce the amount of starcraft content he does within a few hours of the events surrounding the assembly lan. put 2/2 together. | ||

GLHF had to send runners around to get spots, other online casters were frantically messaging players directly to get spots. (There was massive downtime in general - scheduling for players and casters). TB maybe wasn't aggressive enough or didn't have the connections to get casting into the games but either way he was burned really badly. He was online at the start of Day2 and spent 90% of the time waiting around, he cast maybe one game early? (Casted some replays from Day1) In the end I can totally see why it wans't worth the time. (Plus the whole situtation where he Cast Game 1 of a series and then wasn't allowed to cast games 2 or 3) You can speculate the decision to cast less SC2 was directly because of Assembly or affected by Assembly - but does it really matter/who gives a shit. | ||

I'd be interested to hear what happened from TB's side of things. Publicly saying you will "step back" from SC2 as some kind of punishment is an interesting statement to make (assuming he did). | ||
