maybe you misunderstood..? im not exactly sure what you are lawling at.. but what i meant is to stop trying so hard to be someone who is 'cool' (i.e. raging, smoking, etc) and just be more of a professional person. when your face becomes the face of tournaments/streams etc, then project a good image for the people employing you hope that cleared things up for our CombatEx roflstomping hero  | ||

Dont get me wrong, he can do or say whatever he wants, i dont have to watch him (and i dont), but it seems kinda "off" to me. I guess the shot with "acting cool, idrastyle" is pretty much dead on. With the small difference that Idra actually knows what hes talking about (most of the times at least), and plays decent, whereas orb refers to "bad players not playing pro enough" - that was his excuse most of the times. The only game where he actually was not BM all over the place was where an opponent kissed his butt right of the start, recognizing him etc. Dont know, pretty two-faced. I dont like that in any kind of human, regardless of status or whatnot - its just painful to watch. | ||

We already have enough casters who just go "ooooh" and "aaaahh" over pixel explosions, this gets really boring after a while. Having people dress and act like tv news reporters to appear "professional" while doing this doesnt help either, its just hilarious. Then again, I am a person who is not watching any tv whatsoever for similar reasons, so I probably represent a niche opinion here. | ||

If you have watched his actual casting you know he keeps it quite proffessional. If you don't like his stream then that's fine but you seem to take what he says far too serious. It's in the same style as Destiny. It's not for everyone but if you listen to him enough you'd know that your current view of him is faulty. | ||

He may have knowledge (to some extend at least), but alot of people have that. But he is a wise-ass (i think its the right word, in german it looks different - "Klugscheißer"), and you can hear that while hes casting. | ||

I rage at the few retards in chat that feel the need to educate me with their lack of any knowledge of sc2. There's quite a difference. I even mention when I do it sometimes that I am not yelling at all viewers, just those select assholes. As for smoking on camera, for 1: I have never smoked on camera before, ever. So I guess you can just keep making up whatever bullshit you want. And 2: I smoke regularly, so sorry if sometimes people ask me to stream and I'm not sober and I oblige to do them a favor. QQ more about it. The times I'm sober and then smoke off-stream (but during streaming) are only when I get frustrated enough with what I'm playing that I feel I want to just relax and cool off a bit. I have never once tried to "pose" as a stoner... that would do nothing but hurt my viewership... Also I love when people try to say I'm "acting like idra" when I was streaming sc2 with the same rage I always have months before he ever streamed his rage... | ||

Are you mentally deficient? Those two things are the #1 and #2 ways to alienate yourself as a streamer from the vast majority of viewers. All it does is hurt my viewer count, so I don't see how you could possibly think I'm doing it on purpose as an "act." I wish I could ban retards from my threads just like you can with blogs | ||

Let me assume for a second that it is true: We alle rage in private over certain things and use very heave cusswords, we would never ever use in public... well because it is simply wrong. The difference being: as soon as you stream you are a public person and as such you should not be racist and or/sexist in whatever way. If it is all made up: forget everything I wrote. I never watched your stream and barely know you as a caster. | ||

And I don't know what else to think of people who believe orb is trying to act "cool" when it's clearly obvious these "cool things" would alienate his viewers, so yes retard and mentally deficient would be viable adjectives for those people described above. You prefer him saying "I'm pretty sure you have an IQ of a rock?" to explain the complete lack of logic being displayed. | ||
