Because, unless she was literally hired at the last minute for this gig, Incontrol's comment: 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. is complete nonsense because she clearly WASN'T dedicated to doing it well considering how hard she fucked up and how obvious her lack of knowledge of the game was. Assuming she was given sufficient time, if she was actually dedicated to doing it well, she would have done a loooooooooooot more preparation for the job and wouldn't have come out of it looking completely clueless (and inc's comments would have had a bit more clout). | ||

Either he is dodging like a ninja or he is really that self-absorbed that he thinks him being able to take naps somehow translates into down time for the spectators. Probably me being self absorbed.. sorry I am not answering everything everyone is asking! | ||

Someone tweeted (I think AskJoshy?) that she was reading up on starcraft on her ipad after she did the interviews so the next ones would be better. That sir is hardcore dedication. Trololol. | ||

It's kinda inevitable.. but the world keeps on moving forward and I learn each time to dial it back. Name dropping was bad. Point I made was fine. Lesson learned!The point you made is totally invalid, dude. Why the hell should you be offended because people migrate towards sc2 because there is money there, when all you have been talking about is getting money into the scene, to the point where you can't even tolerate fresh language on a private stream? Also, totalbisquit probably makes more money of his WoW content than he ever will of his sc2 stuff, so the whole jab was just totally of the mark. Your drama, blunders, namedroppings and whatever I have enjoyed, this fucking self-righteousness is too much to stand. | ||

Good for her. She responded to the criticism. She had to if she had any sense. It just means that if she WAS given an appropriate amount of time to prepare, then she's not a complete idiot. The professional move would be to prepare BEFORE the job, not during or after the job as the criticism flies in. Of course, if she was called in for the gig the day before, then it's the organisation's fault, not hers. | ||

You're claiming you made a fine point , but do you mind explaining it a little better? What irks you so much about people like TB entering the SC2 scene? Do you honestly think they just see it as a money opportunity for them? TB has said multiple times that he would be better off not producing SC2 content (money wise), and yet you claim that it's his primary reason for getting into this scene. Don't you think his statement kind of contradicts your argument? Edit: You make it hard for me to stay a fan inc. I think your a hilarious guy to listen too and have a very entertaining personality. It's just the consistency in which you make comments like these that really bothers me. I know you guys had a little scrum after that one state of the game. But is it really smart to harp on what was really just a miscommunication to begin with (when this drama really started). It's pretty silly  | ||

You really should try out the tasteless build and just stop replying on forums when you know it will instigate more flames. Just admit it was a stupid thing to say, because it was, and be done with it. Simple~ | ||

I don't think he's a giant tool or anything, I just respect him less. Of all the foreign bw pros that switched to sc2, I actually think iNcontroL is one of few players who like sc2 better than bw. | ||

You accusing people of monetizing SC2 is not stone throwing in a glass house, it's firing a trebuchet inside the Louvre pyramid. Please think before you speak next time. | ||

Inc is offended by people who come in "just for the money"? Coming to sc2 just to look pretty ( no offense lindsay i still love you ) and getting paid for it is better than a caster who helps sc2 grow, gets money as a reward and then puts some of it back into sc2 community ? Or is Inc saying that calculating money from sc2 is worse than getting it beforehand? I did read Inc´s posts here, but instead of explaining his post he just said that in truth he did not mean shit and it was just poor wording? Not much of an explanation. | ||

You respect a guy less because he got into somthing new that he enjoys and now he is profiting from the great content he produces? That's like saying you respect a guy who takes a job that pays less but he does it because he enjoys it. I really wish you would have thought before you called a guy out like that. TB is a great guy for the community giving back to the community with self funded tournaments and bringing many new people to the scene. I got into esports because of TBs shoutcraft show matches in the beta. | ||

TB himself hasn't said anything about it yet, and we know if TB was offended he would make sure we knew as well. So if TB is upset, nobody else should be either | ||

Really nice job by the interviewer, and even if his answers upset you, you should at least appreciate how open and thorough iNcontroL was with his answers. There are worse things than being too forthright. EDIT: And I disagree 100% with his stance on TB/Lindsay, but I'm still glad he gave it. | ||
