Chanman's calm rationalism should be a pretty interesting counterbalance to Destiny's off the cuff sensationalism. I think this is the perfect show for Destiny to be on really... If it doesn't work and devolves into Destiny simply screaming at people without considering their points or admitting when his argument has lost its footing then I'm sure Chanman will know to pull the plug on the conversation if it goes to far. Bottom line: It could be a horrible failure, but it could be really entertaining so I'm willing to give this a shot! | ||

I think we all know the Day 9 is acting a bit and putting on a show for the crowd However, I believe that Day 9 is truly enthusiastic about SC2, games and does like his fans a lot. He may not be as over the top when it is not on camera, but we are all pretty aware that he is an entertainer. | ||

This thread is proof that there are people interested in it (hell, I just spent 30 minutes arguing for Destiny and I don't currently watch the guy!). Also, if you do not like Steven, you really do not have to watch it. I don't go into the Korean Music Discussion and say how I do not think Korean pop music should exist, do I? Let people do as they please. If the show doesn't get a lot of views because Destiny is on it, then that's that. The show will likely stop and there is no problem. It's not like Chan is sacrificing much to do this (other than his time, of course!) | ||

Lets change the environment into a more Destiny persona stream, if we had DJwheat, Incontrol, Idra, Demu into DESTINYS stream. or only one of them into a stream full of Destiny persona's (like where his co-hosts are likely to agree with Destiny). You would notice it was a hostile environment. He was brought into a hostile environment already. He had to run away. Even when Destiny was not on the stream, as a viewer of ITG i could say that there have been times in which Incontrol would attack Destiny (WHY i must ask, theres no reason too and I AM GLAD that destiny isnt mentioned on the stream anymore). The episode is very ugly as there was no intellectual debate, there was no moderators for the talk. it was just a gangbang fest on destiny. Thats why he ran but I am sure you wouldve ran too. obivously he didnt respond to it in a Day9 way but man. if you had a bunch of dudes hating on you for your opinion then damn esports isnt ready for shit then. I am no longer going to post on this thread as it is just nonsense, I hope the best for Unfiltered and I will be watching it. Please take note that I do support EG as I am a regular viewer for ITG, Suppy and Idra and I am a fan of Destiny. Fans do overlap. i am glad we are in agreement that he ran away. for a second there, i thought you were disputing it. | ||

Yeh definitely - He is really good for the community and a lot of new players like to watch the daily thing. However, I don't understand why you only thing personalities who are "overly" positive are good for esports/sc2. Personally I belive we need a variety of personalities to satify the needs of different "consumers/viewers". Also I do think it is very important that we can never be satifised with the status quo and we need to have people to discuss potential solututions in order to progress as an esports. The "everything is going to be alright if we are just happy" is IMO not a very good approach. | ||

He will argue for what he says/does. His arguments are generally pretty rational, but some are worse than others. Compared to the average person, he's far better at reasoning and logical arguments. Visit his website, he has a lot of well-thought out posts on miscellaneous topics. His attention mostly comes from speaking his opinion, something most people do in order to avoid controversy. But it looks like the toxins have already reached you, my friend. Note: I don't even watch Destiny, so I sure hope no one comes in and tries to call me a fan-boy. No I got it the way I meant it. Like I said check out that episode of inside the game. Destiny vs day9 is such a bad comparison. Destiny does nothing but stream and talk trash. He cries wolf all the time. He is like glen beck a guy who does and says things for attention. Day9 works hard to create content, to spread the good stuff of sc2. Day9 played bw he comentates and tries to build up esports from the sc side. Day9 is like a Beatle huge fans all love him, some weridly in love with him. Sure destiny is defending himself but its his thread to defend, if he said nothing I would be surprised. | ||

That's true, at least it draws some much needed attention to an underappreciated pillar of our community. Chanman's such a hard worker, hopefully this results in more viewers for him! That being said though, I also say that I won't watch anything involving Destiny. Imo, he's proven that he doesn't give a shit about the game or our community - he's done a lot of bad things for us, and he shouldn't try to come back. | ||

I like people who look at things objectively and try to find solutions to problems in the scene and challenge things that are stupid. But there is a difference between being critical and being mindlessly negative for the sake of doing so. Ideally, I would like someone who is positive and also critical when necessary, trying to keep everyone honest, but not be destructive because they can be. | ||

Zzz, you didn't even read my second post then (it's really long). I watched every Destiny-related bit in that ITG episode. You are flat-out wrong if you think Destiny failed to defend his argument in that video/stream. Saying that all Destiny does is beg for attention then run away is silly. You clearly do not know anything about Destiny and are in no position to criticize the guy. I would love for YOU to defend YOUR argument, actually. Don't just run off now! @ACrow "Doesn't give a shit about the game" He may not care much for SC2 now, but it would be stupid to say that he never cared about it. He did, after all, write a huge-ass reddit post about what HotS needs, which was the talk-of-TL for at least a week. He's a controversial character, but he isn't as bad as you make him sound. | ||

Why do you think Destiny is mindlessly negative? Which part of his original post (that caused all the trouble) did you disagree with? | ||
