 + Show Spoiler + a move toward having a female identity and presence that’s anything more than just a pretty face and that was an intelligent decisio To be fair, that's all she was. I'd love if it was something more, and maybe it will be in the future, but... Personally the whole lindsey part is very... odd. | ||

It's like... no you can't clean my NASL toilets unless you're diamond league at the minimum haha. Wow a pretty face was hired to ask some questions anyone could ask. What's the big deal again? when the pretty face comments about the ZvG matchup, it becomes insulting to the community the fault has more to do with NASL's decision and subsequent lack of follow up to provide some basic training/introduction to SC2 for Lindsey though | ||

Granted, he's popular with the WoW folks and has a YouTube following, but is there like any evidence to back this? or could someone elaborate for me? WTF? TotalBiscuit casting SC2 for money? He used to have a huge money problem and is probably still affected by it, yet he takes the time to cast SC2 even though he gets much more money with WoW and could probably find a job that pays more than what he most likely gets from SC2. I really, really like iNcontroL, but I don't think he should have said such a thing against TotalBiscuit. | ||

This is a guy that got paid to commentate and hype NASL (rather than do it for free like Day9/TB/others have done many tournaments). This is coming from a guy that largely makes his money off of the community rather than giving anything tangible back to it because he isn't even a good enough player to win anything significant and earn money in that regard. He gets paid for his sponsors exposure, so he goes and does talk shows instead of training because he isn't good enough to actually win stuff or place well. What a fucking joke. There was absolutely no requirement for you to say something like that in this interview, Geoff. Now you just seem like a massive douchebag, especially considering that you don't actually give anything tangible to this community for free like Day9, and countless others (Mr. Bitter, Artosis, etc.) Oh come one. I don't like Inc at all (in fact, he's insulted me on stream before) but this isn't really something to dock him for. For starters you do not know if Day9, Artosis, etc. actually cast for free. I suspect they don't. The same goes for Inc -- people need to make a living. Yeah, his calling out TB was stupid but your calling out him is pretty much equally dumb. | ||

I personally am always a bit scared when girls enter the fray in gaming enviroment, since the people handling the events always pigeonhole gamers as having the perspective "pretty girls >>>>>> everything". | ||

Whilst it was a post made out of anger, largely pretty poorly written and some of it wrong, what I meant by that was that Incontrol has no moral high ground over TB. He earns money for doing things to. If Day9 or Artosis or even Mr. Bitter said something, then maybe they have some moral high ground because they have all provided hours of content (real tangible community improving content, not just shit talking on some guys talk show) for free. For the record, those guys have done plenty of free casting for events, and I can't say the same about Incontrol either (I know TB was casting last years Assembly for free, amongst other things, I bet). | ||

Of of course. He's an idiot who has no idea when and how to watch what he says publicly. The same applies for TB too though. Either these community members need to stop posting on forums and giving interviews, or they need to sit down and learn about PR from someone who knows what they're talking about. For the record, I absolutely think TB is as involved in the scene as he is because of money. However, I also think Inc puts making money over improving as a player so he is not qualified in any way to talk down. | ||

I think the original comment is quite unfair on TotalBiscuit. I dont think he is "just" doing it for the money. Rather, he is passionate about pc games and people follow him for that. | ||

I don't think there is any question that Geoff shouldn't have made that comment (Geoff even mentioned it). There is no argument to be had. | ||

And the comment about Lindsey is like saying she did/will do more for the community than TB | ||
