Although this guy might have made him self look like kind of a dick to tasteless it was stupid of tasteless to say in on the stream they've got to realize that it's getting a lot of attention that stream and that they can't just say things like that but then again they didn't mention names ah well not really that big of a deal.

He thinks John is bad and that he can do better. Why not go for it and ask if they are looking for someone to replace him?


you wouldnt go up to a couple and tell the woman she can do better than her boyfriend now, would you?
Either way this discussion is settled

I probably shouldnt have bumped this, thought the post was only like 3 minutes ago ^^


If it is the truth, why not?

Btw. I think John does a great job, dont wanna start misunderstandings here but IF someone thinks that John is bad(which he has a right to!) and he himself can do better he should apply for the job with this exact reason.

looks to me like the guy is trying to invoke pity by repeating how he is sorry and calling himself an idiot and a dick, and by the looks of it it's working pretty well so far; what he did was not right and tasteless has every right to joke about it all he wants;

you're all quick in judging tasteless but think what anyone of you would do if someone came up to you and told you you pretty much sucked at your job

get real, world isn't all flowers, unicorns and rainbows, it's perfectly fine to tell someone off when they do something stupid

fucking amen. not to mention making a mountain out of a molehill, as at least one poster has said so far. drama llamas -- this isn't The OC. Take your melodrama elsewhere and stop creating something out of nothing.

Definitely super unprofessional from tasteless, stuff like this certainly doesn't help legitimize e-sports. You'd not see a response by some one on tv like this in any other arena.

On the plus side, pure class from John.

I can't believe tasteless apologized. He had every right to do what he did and I was entertained by the story.

Now, the ones who's making this melodrama is all of us writing about it, including you. His "I'm sry story" doesn't grow by itself.
Secondly, if u wanna act professional you definitely not talk shit about someone on air. Hopefully both of them learned something about this incident.

I like Tasteless and all but that was a bit out-of-line. What happens outside the GSL stays outside GSL.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Perhaps Tastless is trying to tell the community, especially the know-it-alls that they do not know it all.

All the complainers about streams, translations, maps, balance, casting, observing and 1000 other things are easy to complain about, but to think any of us could do it any better is absolutely BS.

Easy to sit at home and bitch about anything about eSports, but to actually do that job, infront of the camera, in that busy, hectic enviourment is much more difficult than people think.

The guy showed little respect for John, by outright claiming he could do his job better, Tasteless put some reality into his head, and showed class by not saying his name but simply using him as an example of the often, snarky, snotty community.


...or perhaps he was just trying to amuse the audience by telling a funny, innocent story, nobodys name was mentioned.

I like Tasteless, but it wasn't professional of him to do so. All you Tasteless fans can defend him til the bitter end, but you have to know that Tasteless is hired to be a professional caster/commentator/whatever you want to call it. It is just like any other job where you have to present yourself well because your image represents your job, in this case, GOMTV.

In my opinion, hate it or whatever, it wasn't too bad. At least Tasteless didn't go into 100% detail about the situation. I always view Tasteless as a laidback type of person, who can be professional when needed. I mean, Tasteless and Artosis keeps the viewer entertained during dead time and in the game.

can somebody paste the "apology" from tasteless? or just tell me where can i watch the story and the apology?
anyway it sounds like tasteless didnt do that much of a bad thing, the guy clearly fucked up, you need to have some sense in your head to not fuck up like that..

User was warned for this post

edit:
ops seems like i cannot express my opinions on this forum

I didn't understand why this thread was made in the first place. Team liquid is not TMZ. At the very very best, I could've seen this as maybe a blog.

Now that the issue has been pretty much resolved, I don't understand why this thread hasn't been closed.

An utterly confusing thread, it would appear.

Its not a big deal. We've all screwed job interviews. I feel both sides have inflated the situation.

LOL at The OC comment and everyone crying about how tasteless somehow did something wrong.

Why make a big deal out of it. If there was a thread created for every time someone said something stupid and made a dick out of himself....
