So much good discussion, and so many facepalm-inducing comments. Funny, Destiny still hasn't outgrown his apples to oranges comparisons; MLG and IPL streaming 24/7 has absolutely nothing to do with over-saturation in terms of major weekend events running for weeks and months in a row. Those are so completely different, these nitpicky comments are just... I don't... how...
Anyways, while Blizzard has hurt the tournament scene by not releasing LAN publicly, they're genuinely interested in helping out the scene as best as they can within their limits, which isn't at all unreasonable for a major business to do. We all hate DRM, but really, we're at the point where you need some serious comprehension help if you don't get why Blizzard felt it was in their best interest to do it like this.
And sure, Incontrol would get a lot less shit by not "marketing" himself as a pro player but what the fuck dude, who the hell are you to tell people what they can and can't do? He's stated that so much of his passion for the game comes from playing it, and while it might be the biggest waste of time in his life, if he genuinely enjoys wtf he's doing and kicks some ass before he hangs up the mouse, why the fuck not? Why the fuck not. It's a bit sad that personal tensions are still generating comments like that.

What are you talking about? He never told Incontrol what he can or can't do. He just said that if he'd marketed himself differently, he'd get less haters and maybe be more successful.

To be frank, any player trying to give incontrol advice about self-marketing should probably think better of it.

Didn't Destiny write quite a lengthy article about the state of the game before switching to LoL? Didn't Blizzard pretty much address all the problems he raised? Was it right for him to leave if he was correct? Is he right to come back because he was correct? Is talking in questions a really bad way to write? Are the haters blind to logic?

Answer to all questions is yes, if you were wondering. :D

Finally finished the episode. Good stuff overall. I thought that Destiny interrupted Chanman a bit too much sometimes, but other than that, no complaints.

Well, I think as long as Destiny doesn't pull out something random out of his ass like he did with the whole "SC2 is dying" crap then I think this show could have potential. First episode was okay. Always room for improvement.

Actually they didn't dress the fundenemntal problem. Destinys POV is more nuanced than most people realize. What Destiny wants is a change in business model as Blizzard needs to be able to monetize the game better --> Which means they can devote further ressources into developing the game faster (like with better monetizing we would have gotton much of the stuff HOTS gave us alot faster).
In the ITG episode Idra was actually the only one who seemed to have a decent grasp of Destinys POV (for the most part). However he argued that there was just no way Blizzard could implement things faster as sc2 was too small of a priority. But with a change of business model, Blizzard would be much more incentivized to get things done faster.



Yeh, Destiny needs to cool down a bit some times, espeically if they bring in a 3rd guy next week (to create more discussion).




Pulled out of his ass? He did write a long article. If you think he is wrong, then please specificy why his arguments aren't valid.

Maybe because his premise was wrong. His thesis didn't pan out. Top that off with the fact that SC2 isn't dying, and that would allow us to conclude that maybe he jumped the gun a little bit.
