Seriously? MLG has done the SC community and TL a justice in their ability to connect with our members and allow for us to ask them open questions HERE ON TEAMLIQUID and you're going to give them this much shit about a show that they do for free as a service? Then you're going to call people who have some semblance of maturity a butthurt console scrub?

These guys are giving out 7000+ a tournament for SC2, thats the biggest prize pool outside of IEM and GSL, and now you guys are going to talk like this to them?

Heads up, give constructive feedback at the very least, I'm amazed that you guys can run around here on TL talking to these employees and executives of MLG, who are targetting THEIR audience which is the MLG community. They put Day[9] on the show to give us a share, especially since Day[9] has appeal to everyone, maybe even expanding some of their MLG community into the starcraft 2 community moreso.

But are you guys SERIOUSLY going to give them shit like this post above for a service that MLG does for everyone?

Edit: Although to be fair, that RoyR guy is even worse, when he doesn't know a thing about Starcraft and talks like that.

Considering im probably better at you at starcraft and halo i really dont think you should talk? Pop my collar high enough? You starcraft kids need to understand how niche you are compared to actual console gaming and FPS in general. Also what the hell are you saying there not representing E Sports? You do know that the only reason Starcraft works in Korea is because of there uptight culture? MLG is doing the best thing possible making a mainstream appeal making it appeal to all people. And it seems to be working with there results and the amount of traffic they get on there forums (5 threads with 40000 replies one thread that before got locked had 500,000, pro team threads every 3 months that get 1 million views)

So yea less elitism and arrogance please kthx

I agree with your points regarding the mindless bashing on MLG. But do you honestly believe his post was in any way related to "some semblance of maturity"? If you think so, then read his second post.

Agreed, all this hate towards MLG is making me cringe. They don't have to pick up Starcraft 2 if they don't want to, they are massively successful and will continue to be so just based off Halo. You guys realise MLG read these topics that they make? Your comments aren't very encouraging to an organisation picking up a new game. Especially insulting Puckett, one of their most senior members of staff.

I dislike how RoyR is going about it though...

slasher I've always loved you but that royr guy deserves any hate he gets. Read his posts, he calls us ignorant LOL. I appreciate what MLG is trying to do, but quite frankly, esports tourneys have competition again. I don't see a problem with the community clinging to the one that delivers the most, and right now MLG is not ahead of the competition as far as SC2 is concerned. That's just my opinion, I didn't watch the OSR show, I just read royrs posts and died a little inside.

How often is this show on? Daily? Weekly?

I'm really surprised at the user count for the production it had. I mean, put aside complaints (or compliments) about the personalities on there, it seemed really well made for only 1700 (and that's with the "Day[9] boost"). Where as Day[9] easily has more than double that on his worst day, and he's pretty much just a guy with a webcam.

I'm not going to kid myself and say "SC2 has the biggest community, that's why Day[9] is so popular." I'm sure other games have their Day[9]s and their Artosises (Artosi?). I would love a show with the production value of that Old Spice Report, but with non-obnoxious personalities on there, even from games I don't play. I listen to Live on Three every week, and only a portion of that is about StarCraft.

I'm just amazed at the quality of broadcast this was, yet the people on it were so annoying. I'm positive that the people on there is why their viewers are so low, not so much because of the content.
