Have people never watched Wheat's shows before? He has freakouts on stuff like that semi-regularly, but they're always justified and hilarious. I'm glad that he jumped on it, Destiny was acting like an asshat and he deserved much worse than some pro's disagreeing with him in a debate on a podcast for his behavior. | ||

But yeah, Wheat flips out pretty regularly, I usually don't think they're justified, but that seems to be how he is. And I have absolutely no problem with it. | ||

I don't watch a lot of destiny, nor do I wheat for the most part. I used to watch stog back when I was still interested in sc2. Just as a casual nerd suffering from the exact things that destiny outlined I find it hard to take sides in regards to destiny's maturity level as a "pro" streamer vs wheat being an actual representative to the esports scene. Sit painuser and destiny down and you'll have a constructive conversation. Add in wheat and the EG guys acting like frat boys egging each other on and it devolves into garbage. | ||

Yeah I'm sure you really lost a lot of respect for him considering that 1) you don't watch Wheat and 2) you're not interested in SC2. Thanks for all but admitting that you're only here for the drama lol. | ||

I haven't seen anything about what happened...hope everything's okay. judging from what Geoff said on his stream and wheats twitter, i think that his wife is in the hospital, but it looks like it's getting better. | ||

I am fucking GM. CALL ME GM and then specify "WELL IT'S NA" if you want to try and hurt my feelings. But wtf.. stop calling me masters! I was #1 Masters when I played korea and I was #1 masters when I played EU hitting GM's in both.. so I guess call me a masters on there lol (playing from NA) because people are dissapointet, not in you but in the vision they had of you  its like me, i played vs you back in days when you was still 88)Incontrol on WGTour, it was such a pleasure that time and i was like "OMG I PLAYED INCONTROL" and we want THAT feeling back so dont matter if you are GM or M the people call you M so you go train much and own everything again so that feeling comes back calling your name about topic: where do i find the actual vods of this show ? not itunes just normal plz ^^ | ||

I don't care a single bit if destiny is wrong or not. Wheat and the EG tagteam didn't want to discuss anything, they wanted to bash him in person. Fine, there are thousands of people that love to bash destiny, nobody cares. I don't even care about the content of the argument as much as Wheat screaming at the top of his lungs like an idiot. These people are talking about "doing the best they can" to help the community grow, well just read comments on any place you can find the video, and so many people are turned off by what Wheat did, maybe not turned off to SC2, but you can't deny that it puts a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths for stuff like that to happen. | ||
