In the journalism discussion, whenever someone brought up a point contrary to his it felt like he got personally offended and super defensive. edit: best example when 2GD just said a small joke and Thoring got like super offended. dunno feel like he took everything way too fucking serious | ||

Although I do really enjoy Thorin's work in interviews and on the panel for CS:GO.I don't mind Richard Lewis, he actually seems like an intelligent dude to me. Thorin, however, is a massive tool. And by issues I mean personality issues. Richard Lewis often sounds like a teenage girl. Martyr complex. etc... I guess that's what happens to people who work for a very long time in a very under-appreciative industry, but that doesn't make it any less of a flaw. You can still do your work, have opinions, and not act like children. I mean even Destiny seems civil and cohesive next to those two often. And that's a shame because they have the knowledge. | ||

The reason people care about the NA players is because that's who they want to watch. Sports/eSports are about entertainment. If that's what they find entertaining, that's what they care about. And if people don't want to watch the people who might make the biggest struggles, too bad. Is that a problem with the system? Not really, that's just the situation we're in with the enormous chasm of skill between regions. | ||

He also presents everything super black and white, or at least thats how i feel. anyway as they all said before his points should still be valid regardless of wheather i like him or not | ||

In Sweden people watch Swedish football, even if it isn't especially good. That's how you grow a market. That's how you get localised sponsorship. That's how you foster talent. What he wants is unrealistic and idealistic. | ||
