Ya, ITG draws way less people than SOTG ever did.

I would like to say a few things:

1) THANK YOU for asking the community to stop with the "ESPORTS is going to die if you do (blank)" talk. It gets so annoying when people say that Destiny breaking a contract is going to kill esports. I've been saying it for a while when I couldn't handle the sheer ineptitude shown by people in the past, but finally you and incontrol have told a good 3500 people to please stop. That might make a dent in things.

2) I'm really glad you brought Alex on to talk about incontrol leaving State of the Game. The way he explained it makes a lot of sense. SOTG presented a situation where there would be direct conflict of interest with sponsors, you moved Incontrol to another show that didn't conflict (which you just happened to have to make), and that's basically it. No one left on bad terms, and Alex is reinforced that idea today. I'm glad for that.

As far as "They're so competing, it's on Tuesday," SOTG is on at what, 10:00pm? I think the timeblocks could go ITG to SOTG with maybe an hour and a half of a break between or so. And that's assuming that JP isn't moving it, which is speculation until JP says anything about it. I'd think that JP will move it to prevent any kind of viewer loss, and if he doesn't, I don't think there will be much of a loss at all.

Overall, thank you so much for this episode. Hopefully people will listen and understand. They probably won't, but here's to hoping.

I like iNcontroL, but at some point the straw-man arguments need to end. He always feels the need to exaggerate the negative things/comments, or at least focus on them. Most of us aren't trying to troll you at all times. Some of us have more or less legitimate concerns. Ignore the people using ridiculous hyperbole or name-calling, insults, etc.

I have a weird feeling about EG. I like iNcontroL, most of the time (or rather most of the time I love him). I also like SirScoots, particularly after the interview at... Columbus? People like Machine and Axslav, I don't mind them at all. I do sort of dislike Idra, but I think most of the SC2 fanbase "sort of" dislikes Idra. But despite all of this, I don't like EG as an organization. I'm not sure it makes sense.

one project that didn't work doesn't discredit everything he's done throughout the years.
he built the best esports org in the world from the ground up and he's only 26.

Didn't know about it until Alex mentioned it but... Basically all the shows (or most of the shows) on OneMoreGame are sponsored by and created by EG? If so, this kind of clarifies the perspective the shows are going to take. ~_~

Lag is making it completely unwatchable for me, black screen for 30 seconds then 1 second of audio.. Then back to blackness. :\

Wait, you don't like an organization because they lead a player in a direction that best suited his interests? The fact that EG allowed this to be talked about in Geoffs defense on a podcast says a lot about them as an organization. Yes, it is unfortunate that he isn't on SotG anymore (he was my favorite pillar), but jesus christ, be realistic.

Too bad, this show sounded interesting, but I can't listen to it because it keeps freezing. Is this a problem on my end?
