This is cool news, but am I really the only person out there that just can't stand Totalbiscuit? His bias when hes casting Crank's games bother me so much.

Isn't that a petty remark? TB has done so much for SC2 and esports and continues to do so, now you criticise a bias regarding Crank. TB choose him for a reason as the first Axiom player.

From what we know, the Axiom owners actually care about their players and have a personal relationship, too. Players are not just a resource for them. I think we should support team owners who stand behind every player.


This is funny... you seem to think somebody like TB is doing these things for e-sports out of the goodness of his heart, while others may speculate hes just trying to cash in. Either way, I am perfectly entitled to my opinion about him as an individual, caster and team owner. You cannot deny that he shows bias towards Crank in particular when he casts his game.


Yeah I'm sure TB is investing tens of thousands of dollars into a sc2 team to make money, definitely the case.

Axiom is a passion project, there is no way it doesn't operate at a loss. There's no money to be made in running a sc2 team unless you're TL and have their own store ( still probably operates at a loss ) or EG.

Obviously, everyone likes money, but I've been observing TB for a while and I can confidently say that he's motivated by far more than greed. And lol @ people complaining about him being biased toward a player on HIS team... no shit he's gonna be biased. Who cares? It's not that important.

Hey now... no need for name calling. You put yourself out there as a caster and team owner. People are entitled to their opinions about you. I simply made a comment. I understand that not every may agree with me and that fine. I guess I should clarify my main point when it comes to your bias towards Crank. I understand that because of your affiliation with him its very difficult to not show enthusiasm or excitement during his games. I just feel as a commentator games should be cast as neutral as possible.

Also, why is Crank headlining this team? I think the real headliners are MMA and Scarlett.


CranK is the captain of the team. The captain is not necessarily the ace, but the most experienced player. As an STX and SKT BW player in teamleagues as well as in a de-facto coach role in SlayerS he is clearly the most suitable for the position.

Your other criticism is merely fluff.




Well TB, Ill just make one thing clear. Crank was a B-teamer without any official record, Calling him an experienced player in team leagues is just laughable.

Honestly Scarlett is one of the better players in that team. I might consider Ryung better, but no one else really is better than Scarlett. I think you overrate those Koreans and you underrate Scarlett, but such are the usual things done. Miya, Crank, MMA, Alicia and Heart, they're good, but it seems obvious to me that Scarlett is a better player than them at the moment.

Lemme say this. He has an awful lot more experience in dealing with team coherency, coaching and management than anyone aside from SlayerS players really realize. Results do not tell that story.

Yeah, I agree completely.

Sorry this is part of the community, dude. : (

Edit, haha, I guess the other post was edited out.

wtf is with all this flack TB is getting? I honestly am happy to see this team come to fruition with this team house and now in GSTL. I couldn't name a better person than TB to run it. If you want neutral casting, you want robots casting. Artosis is a bit bias to Nestea. Should that mean he shouldn't cast his games because he's going to favor Nestea over his opponent?

I think Crank was the best choice for captain. He seems like a very responsible player that can be that go-to person the players can go to if managers are not available. Not to mention, Crank's relationship with TB could be a factor since TB sponsored Crank to MLG. All speculations of course but either way I support and can't wait to see how Axiom-Acer does in GSTL.

The most vocal parts of any community online and in real life tend to be the extreme positives and the extreme negatives. It's just a response bias on part of people who don't like him or his players. You see it with every big name player or caster to be honest. There are plenty of people with other opinions positive/negative that you don't see post so it just seems like there's a larger proportion of haters than there really is.

They are only really missing Ganzi and Yughio now for it to be full Neo SlayerS. Would love to see both of them picked up by someone soon.
