And I don't think people are more negative about it because she is a female, I'm quite sure it's the other way around. It would have been a lot worse if it was a guy or even if she was less attractive looking. I might have gotten the wrong impression or whatever but when I watched Josh's interview with her, well I don't know what to say, embarrassing even as a viewer? Anyway, thanks for a good interview. The more I read about(and watched) NASL the more it makes me think the owner? tries to fill roles for jobs that are normally done by skilled people with many years of experience. Hope he is an unusually fast learner or gets a hold of some experienced producers. Ironically I have extremely low expectations on the next season, I don't expect anything to feel "professional" other than the players and casters. | ||

I honestly take more offense at people coming from other sports just to make money in Starcraft II--someone like TotalBiscuit. WTF Incontrol? Lost my respect for him now. | ||

Some things you just have to think about before you say. I appreciate honesty but I also appreciate respect. Personally I try to look at everyone in this scene as a good guy first, and change my opinion as evidence arises (Kelly, TB, Lindsey, whoever). I don't know why so many people are cynical/paranoid about everything. actually I'm kind of surprised EG didn't just edit it out, it's kind of bad PR | ||

Defending Lindsey who never heard of SC before she got hired to interview nerds at an event by throwing TB under the bus. Stay Classy... I believe that Lindsey is Anna's friend though, so it isn't much of a surprise that he is defending her. I think he made a good point about Lindsey, but probably should of just kept the TB line to himself. Either way, just take it as bad blood and move on. | ||

I can already see Geoff's reaction, "Haters gonna hate... TeamLiquid forums are full of trolls now... etc". I've been around for a while and I have never hated Geoff. I certainly came to this thread thinking, "Cool. Let's see what interesting things Geoff has to say about NASL, he's a smart dude". Instead I'm wishing I hadn't read it because it vindicates the other side of me that hears Incontrol mentioned and thinks, "Uhoh. It's this guy sticking his foot in his mouth again and scowling at us for telling him to take it out." | ||

Because I know TB has. The TB hate is so stupid. He obv enjoys SC2 and attempts to make it better and esports as a whole.

I was asked if I take offense to Lindsey being hired by an SC2 league.. I pointed out that I don't and I take MORE offense to people moving to the SC community purely to make money. If they do great things while doing that wonderful.. we all benefit. But I prefer those that were here from the beginning. I don't hate TB or anything like that at all.. I just find it less awesome is all. | ||

Well that argument can be made, but there’s also the argument that the role being filled there is someone who’s attractive in front of the camera, isn’t necessarily an expert on Starcraft, and she’s there to offer a different perspective as someone who doesn’t come from a Starcraft background. She's get's a paycheck to look good in front of a camera. I honestly take more offense at people coming from other sports just to make money in Starcraft II--someone like TotalBiscuit. I take less offense to someone like Lindsey, an actress and a model, getting hired for a gig and she says yes not because she’s looking to get rich but because it’s a good job doing what she enjoys and she’s dedicated to doing it well. TB get's paid to entertain, he also pumps money into Starcraft more than most and brings a shit ton of new players into the game, including adults who would have never considered it. TIL EG is the Fox News of Starcraft 2. | ||

The fact is that Lindsey is completely, 100% brand new to the starcraft, even esports, community and only started to get a paycheck. | ||

Giving money back to the community is awesome.. but it isn't 100% selfless so please don't act like it is. I was asked if I take offense to Lindsey being hired by an SC2 league..

Why do any of us go to school rather than play SC all day and work at lowes. Money. | ||
