The question that came out of this interview for me was: When was Sporrer hired for the NASL job?

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).

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.

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
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

guys guys guys hold on let me explain; incontrol does all this jetsetting around the world for sponsors and commercials and coaching For The Love Of The Game. he would do it for free if he had to. people like totalbiscuit... man... how shallow. creating content for and interest in the industry for profit... that is so totally "less awesome" than what he and other e-sports lovers like lindsey sporrer do.

please tell me more about how much you do for the community out of the kindness of your heart and not for money at all.

I love these threads. All the armchair admirals jump into them like piranhas.

Nonetheless, thanks for your perspective on the NASL.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I remember when incontrol was a BW player. Too bad he switched to a different game just for the money. I don't think he's a giant tool or anything, I just respect him less.

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~

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.

Incontrol, I don't even like TB, but you honestly just lost a fan. I don't know if your duplicity is calculated or just a side effect of near-pathological rationalization, but you just come off as a petty and narcissistic person lately.

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.

I am glad i was not the only one confused.

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.

I'm a pretty big fan Geoff but I don't understand your comment on TB or your posts in this thread. To say TB switched to SC content to make money is terribly misinformed. TB's views on his WoW videos got way more views then the SC stuff he does. He's said it a million times that he knows the majority of his subscribers don't care for SC but he posts it because he enjoys it and knows others do as well. It makes no sense to say he is in it for the money. If he were in it for the money would he not still be doing Azeroth Daily which made him way more then his SC stuff?

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.

I feel bad for iNc here :/ Like others are saying, it was a great interview other than that one line on TB. I was kinda upset cause I like TB, but I really don't think iNcontrol meant anything harmful by it. Just ignore the one line, accept that he has learned his lesson about naming specific people, and move on.

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

Damn good responses, nice interview.

My thoughts exactly.

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.

he's such a kind man, does everything out of the goodness of his heart.

just look at where the guy was a little over a year ago. fast forward to 5:50 where he talks about his job at the time.

+ Show Spoiler +

he was just some schmuck working at a Gamestop at the local mall






and look at where where he is now, flying all over the world doing commercials for sponsors and shit! and purely out of the kindness of his heart!!! totally not for monetary reasons, no sir!
