Congrats..

Does that mean DJ Wheat is now doing this full time?

hummm... now that I look back a little, would this be related why DJWheat was so outspoken against ESPN covering starcraft2.

No, he worked for CGS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Championship_Gaming_Series). This is where his opinion about ESPORTS on TV comes from.

Congratz to both!

One question: I know a lot of people have been wondering about Europe not having shows similar to what America produces in shows like State of the Game, Inside the Game, Live on Three etc...
Will we be seeing any additional shows from either of these 2 guys? I know Wheat already has a lot of shows going at the moment, but as far as I am aware, Europe doesn't really have any set in stone discussion programmes. Would be awesome if 2GD set up a european based show (perhaps with a panel?) to help add to the growth of starcraft and esports in general.

It's impossible to hate either of these guys, therefore it's absolutely impossible to hate this decision.

Congrats to them!

2GD needs to be involved in every SC2 event, hes the most dynamic and fun host ive seen involved in SC2. Anything that makes him a bigger player in the community is great.
Great to see good things happening for Wheat too :D

Oh and by the way. Love how Wheat has produced a montage of himself, whilst 2GD just has his webcam set up whilst drinking alcohol. True British spirit! LOVE IT

From the utter vagueness of the OP I have absolutely no idea what they are going to be doing, but congratz to them nonetheless.

First item on the agenda: Fixing the lag in the EU I hope.
