have you ever seen an advertisement for anything ever?
it's the same thing

Cool, HuK and IdrA will probably be pretty popular as practice partners due to the lack of toss and zerg in slayers (even though that lack has already declined due to the latest transfers of puzzle and coca)

I dislike advertisements as well - do you like them? My point stands.

what i don't understand is why everyone has to pee their pants and make a poopy face about these things. it's like you're actually offended that PR is doing their job. i don't care what people say, i enjoy these things a lot. it's in the back of my head all day and it keeps me excited for whatever EG related thing comes next. that's what the whole point of it is, and it works for me.

Just ignore it then, you wont be missed. And you dislike advertisement? Hope youre still a student, you would hate your life if you were a working man.

I don't understand you people, you guys always hate hypes but you seem to be the one most concern about it. Just face it, as much as you hate it you just get suck into it.

EG x SlayerS would be the best thing to ever happen. These players would just get so much more solid.
Can't wait for the final announcement to see what actually happens!

I'm a 29 year old professional. As if age effects an individual not liking empty messages shoved down their throats? Good point... :/

You can dislike the way a specific organization does things without being a competitive gaming hater. Guess I just place a premium on substance.

And you havent learned to ignore it by now? How do you watch tv, movies, or even starcraft? Or are you one of those guys that turns on your adblock so that streams dont profit?
You investing in this thread clearly shows that the hype got to you. You can try to deny it and isolate yourself from the thread but im not sure if thats what you really want.

How exactly is this being shoved down your/anyones throat? Maybe I have pop up blockers on but EG's hypesite doesn't pop up everytime I visit a page

I'd like to note that EG is doing this on their twitter and website, they didn't post it on here. The community did. So don't blame EG for that.
Secondly, what in gods green earth is wrong with hyping shit or announcing announcements, it's like calling a press conference for a sports team or a company. They want you to know something is coming and when it is coming. If they want to put riddles and puzzles into it too in order to engage with the community then I see nothing wrong with that.
Its depends on whether or not you think all publicity is good publicity.
It could have the reverse effect of turning people off...

What "got to me" is just the EG bootlickers who follow this shit like it's the most important thing in the world. I felt I had to make a statement about it.
I like Idra and HuK very much -- I think they represent the peak of the NA scene. I wish nothing but the best for EG. I, myself, just dislike the cheeseball hype tactics that a lot of TLers seem to soil their shorts over.
Best of luck to EG. That's all you'll hear from me. Keep hyping.....uh...I guess we'll find out soon.

So its not the hype itself, its the people who fall for the hype that grinds your gears?

Don't know if this has been said (i cba looking through all the thread), but the bunker bank might be evidence to the slayers house. Because of Boxer and his bunker shenanigans.

o.o i dont care whether or not there is hype. I'll just be excited when whatever news it is comes out. I dont see though why hype hurts anything. if you don't like it, just ignore it... shitting on someone else's fun is totally unnecessary...
