One, two of the main people aren't on it. Two, the subjects have been very different, and I think a lot of it has to do with all the drama going on today.

OH MY GOD! I TALKED TO THEM ON SKYPE AND ASKED INCONTROL A QUESTION! WOOOO! I WAS MODERN WARFARE 2 ZOMBIE!!!!! OMG SO EXCItING!

I know he's trying to make a point, but if Wheat says "I'm killing e-sports" one more time.... O_o

I'm on my 3rd time trying it out, but each time its been stuff like... "lets call in and ask a pro gamer how many workers go on a mineral patch" instead of just doing some research. SOTG is different because its just raw sc2 and good players bullshitting with each other and really talking about current issues, not scrubs calling in for advice on their builds or how to engage a certain fight... ITG feels like an extended question segment of SOTG and, for my time, thats the worst segment of SOTG
edit: aaaaand the EG explanation makes me completely done with ITG. Peace and good luck

I think as soon as Geoff mentioned he was done SOTG I posted how it was all about the dolla bills at the end of the day.
It took a month, but it looks like I was right.... Peace EG, GL in future. -.-

I totally understand EG's point of view, but it's just sad that they couldn't be straightforward about this in the first place. Bottom line, money rules all.

Relax with the EG hate guys, he's still explaining the decision! If you want more transparency with the clans and teams, you have to at least here the guy speak before you lash out.
|
The amusing part is that the people who now say that they don't like ITG or have a problem with the way the whole 'transition' happened will more likely than not now be a part of a long and dramatic rant by djWheat and/or iNcontroL, ironically lamenting the "negativity" and drama.
I still like both. But I'd like them more on State of the Game.
|
I can't believe they're airing all this laundry. They probably should have just kept it private.

alex garfield is still one of the smartest people in esports, dude has been killin it for years
|
I still don't understand why Inside the Game is on Tuesday if it was never meant to compete with SOTG. I can understand it not being on Sunday as WOC had been in that slot for a while, but that leaves Mon, Wed, and Thurs....
|
Man, I wish they would talk about Starcraft. Does this drama bullshit REALLY affect us in ANY way?
|
This is a fascinating look into the business of esports and esports stream programming.
Thank you djWHEAT!
|
Glad this is happening...though it's gonna take alot for EG to regain public trust, the way this has devolved.

This has been asked many many times and djWheat explained that the players participating in ITG(PainUser, Idra, Inc) requested that day
|
Stream is laggy as hell for me on any setting, is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
|
Seriously, the stream is shitting all over itself, I can't listen to a whole sentence.

There's no other calculating behind it.
Anyways, the cast is way too choppy to watch right now. JTV performance has been atrocious in large parts of Europe for the past week. :/

How can you say your relieving a player by giving him a new show? ur contradicting your statements with every single point your trying to make. your even ripping on JP for staying silent about it, even tho YOU GUYS were the ones that made the mistakes by managing to have this go public. Also lying to a community like such a huge mistake.
Your really not making it better for yourself, ur making it 10 times worse by going public like this.
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
+ Show Spoiler +its Obvious that their trying to fish their way back from a huge mistake on their part. and their ripping on the counterpart because of their mistake.
Incontrol = awesome EG = Fail.
