To me he seems like somewhat of a clown that avoids the obvious questions and trying to explain how no team wants to sign Naniwa totally out of the blue which had NOTHING to do with the discussion. They simple asked him WHY he leaks shit and it took him like 10 mins to get the point. | ||

Journalists pissing people off by leaking information is nothing new. It's an arms race and if teams are losing then that's their problem and it's not Slasher's responsibility to back off for him. Don't expect the fans who just want to get the news to side against Slasher either. | ||

There is more to "good for esports" than just "good for the teams". Slasher has been breaking this news on Gamespot. That's a huge site, that reaches a huge number of people. and has showed little interest in esports in the past. Just how happy are Gamespot with the page views Slasher's articles are getting? Pretty happy I would expect. Encouraging mainstream gaming sites like Gamespot to get further involved in esports can only be a good thing. Not to mention that Slasher has his own career to look out for. How many people can make a successful career out of esports journalism? That being possible is an important step forward too. Listening to Alex right now, he is basically saying "if it's not good for us then it's not good for esports". Sour grapes. Journalists pissing people off by leaking information is nothing new. It's an arms race and if teams are losing then that's their problem and it's not Slasher's responsibility to back off for him. Don't expect the fans who just want to get the news to side against Slasher either. He can post it on Gamespot after the team announces it. Other media outlets do it all the time. | ||

Alex Garfield sound like biggest duchbag on earth. Slasher doesnt need to be nice against any of the teams. If the teams cant keep the information away from him, thats on them. | ||
