What does Incontrol och Tyler have to show? Incontrol and Tyler. And. Swedes. No wonder you come rushing to the aid of Morrow. I never said that Morrow is worse or less accomplished than Tyler or Incontrol. By accomplished I spoke in a general sense, that of a pro-gamer in general when it comes to SC2 and BW. What I implied is that they (all three) are comparable; both in terms of playing ability and overall scene recognition and accomplishments. Honestly, if you disagree with that statement you need to stop fixating so much on players from your own country as I don't know any other reason you'd disagree. Sure, Morrow has won and placed well in tournaments, and sure neither Tyler nor Incontrol has won a major lan-tournament for SC2 yet, but they have a list of other accomplishments too long to go through in this post. Just an example that comes to my mind is Tyler winning a bo7 vs Idra where he lost a single game, and they have both participated in and placed well in a myriad of lans and online tournaments. | ||

Well this is about SC2 not BW and it's no question that Morrow got more accomplishments in SC2 that Tyler and Incontrol combined in SC2, despite switching race in the middle of it. I assume your long list is about BW because I honestly can't think of a single thing Incontrol has done in SC2. That said, I didn't think they bashed him hard at all. Morrow played very poorly in the finals most likely due to lack of ZvZ practice in EU, something they also mentioned. | ||

Yeah, most likely the server is optimized for streaming, so the first few megabytes are transmitted quickly in order to get a nice little buffer going. I've noticed the same thing on a couple of other podcasts as well, it seems to be common among podcast hosting services. Or something. | ||

I guess it's the role of the 'pundits' to have strong opinions, but Jebus it's a lot of judging so far. Players, matchups, casters.. Negativity is easy! My god. Incontrol said that joking aside, Morrow's an amazing player. Come on man, why after every show does there have to be someone trying to stir shit? | ||

If anyone actually believes what was said about The Assembly and about me apparently leaving SC2 casting, then you're an idiot and you're being trolled. Good to hear ^^ | ||

If anyone actually believes what was said about The Assembly and about me apparently leaving SC2 casting, then you're an idiot and you're being trolled. (I hope you haven't angrily stormed out of the thread yet) They probably didn't read what you wrote on second day during assembly (something like "I'll cut back on SC2 and focus on other games, but I'll still do SC2 don't worry") and picked up some rumors. That said, what InControl said might sound a little bit harsh, but you must know that that's just what he does. I'm not sure if you've followed the past podcasts, but he does this all the time, to everyone. What he says always contains a bit of truth, and you should take what he said by heart. You have a nice sense of humor and your voice is made for casting, you already have an audience, and you'd be an absolutely AMAZING caster if you tried to seriously become a better player and therefor caster. | ||

I'll be honest, 36 minutes in made me giggle a little, even if I knew this was gonna make this thread blow up. There obviously was a filter between the information that got to incontrol, and the interpretation. Your shoutcraft thread wasn't exactly clear on what happened with Assembly except that you didn't Quit SC2, merely focusing more on your other content which brings you more revenue. I personally love your WTF segments. What did happen? Some other caster got greedy and decided to randomly cut out other casters? | ||

I'm obviously can't speak for TB, but I don't think he gives a crap what Inc has to say about him, honestly. What I personally would find annoying would be JP getting a rumor from somewhere and then presenting it as facts in best rakaka.se style. That's quite poor. | ||
