Even if there is no other damage or whatever, its amusing to see how far this team will go to put on the appearance of being popular Yeah. It's a bit sad, and it makes the entire idea of esports and pro-gaming teams look clownshoes, but it's hard to see who actually ends up hurt. | ||

As long as it is just a matter of few isolated incidents, I guess the advertisement devaluations isn't a big deal. Mainly a problem when the zombie viewers start to be a large fraction of all the viewers I'd say. I don't think (hope!) this is standard procedure in any way, so I'd say it's mainly sad as you say.  | ||

At the same time, it's a very competitive industry and maybe Eclypsia was feeling very pressured to put up some good numbers. But apparently in esports, Internet detective work can be not only quick but very damning, especially because of how closeknit and generally passionate the community tends to be. | ||

They could easily pay for an add and no one would complain. Think a little and see if you can tell the difference between this and an ad. | ||

As us noble starcraft players regard LoL players as being on the intellectual level of zombies, the terminology will intuitively cover that case as well. I know it's not the same thing, but drama threads are for ridiculous tangents and straw men right? If you mean the embedded stream in the client, any advertiser would know it is embedded, and the reason that gets more views is people click on it when they open the game, not people don't realize it's open when doing something completely different.. | ||
