I for one would like to add that being a dedicated Starcraft 2 fan, I am a slightly less than average player, and as such am sure I don't understand or catch half of the things that go on in a game strategy or timing wise. I am however not averse to spending money on things that give me enjoyment, and have on multiple occasions spent money on "inferiorly skilled" tournaments like the smaller MLGs and IEMs etc. I doubt I am invested enough in any Korean player's performance to do the same for a GSL sadly.

Any tournament featuring even a slumping Idra or a "sometimes" disappointing Stephano or a constantly trying Incontrol is guaranteed to get my viewership, because I feel their soul-crushing losses and euphoric victories almost as if it were myself playing. Even "less interesting" members of EG like Thorzain and Demuslim get alot of "spillover" support because of this.

That said, PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE F*#% do I locate the latest ITG vod.

For VODs, just go to twitch.tv/onemoregametv and scroll down below the video player (click on 'more videos').

Did you seriously just say MVP is 'dry as shit'?
I know western esports is all about "growing your brand" and other buzzwords, but the dude is the king of SC2. You almost make it sound like it's more important to be a reddit celebrity than it is to excel at the game.

Uggghhh. There are a lot of people who think someone winning the GSL is a much bigger event than 100 new EG youtube videos. To basically declare that they're wrong and don't understand "business models" is really intellectually dishonest (reminder: you're on a talk show). Should probably get somebody on the show with a different perspective so it isn't all softballs!


I have been watching the same show and I never heard him say that. Maybe you are reading into what he's saying in a way just so you can complain about it.

He made a simple comment about MVP not doing the same type of content because he is "dry as shit". I happen to agree with him in the fact that, of the koreans, MVP doesn't come off as the most charismatic. Maybe someone like an MC. But you are assuming to much from one simple comment that was said in a pretty straightforward way.


Well, maybe they should address more players than just MVP.
Here, I'll list some people who are wildly successful in SC2 and don't "produce content":
- Nestea
- MVP
- MC (he's a "personality" but doesn't spend time acting in commercials and go to great lengths to justify it)
- MarineKing (same thing - reddit loves him but there's no weekly marineking youtube series)
- Violet
- Dongraegu
- Boxer
- ..

To imply that all these people are 'dry as shit' is more xenophobic western esports talk, basically. If the korean audience cared more about marketing than gameplay, there would be a marineking sitcom airing every night of the week.

The 'other side' to this topic is completely worth discussing, but instead it was just used as a springboard for EG promotion. Again, this is why you need someone from outside western esports. Put on Hwanni or Mr. Chae and see if they agree with what Incontrol said. Even if they do, I bet they would have a much more interesting way of explaining it than saying "actually, this is why EG is the best and everyone else wishes they were us"

guess who has more money, eg or team mvp? guess whos more accomplished, drg or any 1 of our players? and drg is more relateable than most koreans because he speaks english well and is a funny nice guy. doesnt matter. having your logo on the shirt of a player winning a tournament is really good, until 2 months later when the entire community forgets it and focuses on the new player whos on a hot streak. but people are still talking about videos we made a year ago, they see us and interact with us every single week even when we're going through the periodic slumps that every single player goes through. is nestea performing as well as he used to? nope. are people talking about him being washed up or not putting in enough effort? nope. but he also doesnt get nearly as much attention as he used to.

viewership of tournaments drops when it gets down to only korean vs korean, and only players like mc and mkp who are more likeable and personable help that at all. most koreans are dry as shit. the ones you listed are actually exceptions, and many of them still arent as liked by the community as a whole as big western names.

I agree. If EG is really I mean REALLY good at something it's marketing (I don't mean the player side). EG produces memorable videos and the promote their brand by doing that.

<3 PainUser. I do not care for incontrolls 20 minute speeches and PU is right to interupt them. I watch the show to learn and discover stuff. I want statements like Idra has. I want the passion like PainUser has. I do not a president speech on every topic.

You realize that he interrupts EVERYONE (not only INcontrol) huh? He interrupts IdrA, he interrupts DJwheat, he even interrupts HD in every second sentence in that PHD Tournament -.-

But jeah, you must be right, lets nerf the Dark Templar and jeah, the Warhound is really weak, lets buff him a bit because the autocast Missiles are so hard to micro. x_x (for those who don't understand, thats not my opinion, that's the usual stuff that mastermind interrupts others with).

I found him annoying in the last show. He's always interrupting, and doesn't let djwheat ask questions. He acts like he's on a phone call with the person talking, not on a talk show.

Somebody put Painuser on suicide watch.
His complex and interesting unit that requires sophisticated micro has wiped off HotS.

Just catching up on the vod now for the 9/11 show...

And this isn't a troll, but jesus was Painuser just trying really hard to promote his tournament? Did he chug a few (dozen) redbulls? (doesn't social skills 101 teach about throwing "uh huh", "yeah", "yup" after every three or four words coming out of people's mouths?)

Such a shame it was canceled.
I'm sure plenty of people wanted to see painusers reaction to the news of warhound removal and that no replacement is forthcoming.
Next week it just won't be the same.

We won't An EG guy won it bro! We are contractually mandated to talk about it.

Joking aside.. nah, I look forward to ITG each week and this one was just pinched by schedules. Not bad considering we've only missed like 2-3 weeks out of the 60?
