I'd say what they wanted to do was good (as far as we saw), but nothing went well for them.

Although you guys don't know what we're doing, I can assure you we have some of the most experienced people that I've ever known (and you can read my blog to see who I am talking about) and we're bringing in more to make sure our plans go right.

Dude, from one industry insider to the next, you should really learn to keep your mouth shut.

Let your work speak for itself, and stop worrying about the peanut gallery. If Morgan saw you make this post he'd probably fire you.


Shots fired! Torts will be on a plane back to canada tomorrow! Looks like that esports fame claimed another victim! Bitter went from a humble guy making 12 weeks with the pros vids to an egomaniac who now refers to the community as the peanut gallery. That esports fame is sometimes too much for people. They have to go all hollywood on you. There really should be an NWO of esports.

I think he's referring to doubters and cynics, which is a futile battle to convince (and so he suggests the above, which is right in retrospect).

There is like a PM button on TL for this stuff. Or email. Or like anything that isn't a public forum.

Or we are all being trolled. I can't tell any more. It is the weekend yet?

Bitter knows about PM, email, skype, etc. That post was just Bitter pulling rank cause he has a higher standing than torts in the esports world so thinks he has the right to shame him in public and tell him what to do and make the feigned threat that Morgan should probably fire torts.

It's ok. You're trained well to take it as an esports newbie right now and not to fight back. Was the morgan thing a secret? I've seen his hiring mentioned on twitter already by people. You stated you had permission to mention that hiring too.

I don't think your post had anything wrong in it. You're just stating your case in defense of clauf/azubu. I didn't care for your earlier sarcastic posts, but that post was pretty benign and nothing for bitter to get so worked up about.

Yes, I got permission, but I didn't take into account of his personal privacy, so that's a mistake on my part (and my eagerness to what I said above). So it's a gray-zone if we account for both sides and it wasn't my place to say it (even if I had permission).

Anyways, I'll stay mute about the subject since it's out there and what's done is done.

Well I mentioned him in passing as the guy that got us off our butts to innovate which has become the spirit that drives NASL broadcast. We've mentioned that story multiple times in the past on podcasts/interviews/talkshows.

Bitter referring more to privileged information in general.

I just noticed that part too. Bitter should avoid using that phrase in the future. I get what he was saying, but I don't like being called it. As I said before, PM, Skype and Email exist for a reason and phrases like that are it.

Yeah I reread your blog and you didn't mention morgan as a hiring. I saw it on twitter somewhere. Just don't remember whose now.

1.) I'm an ass. Sorry for being overly brash.

2.) Morgan is a dear friend and I know he prefers to operate behind the scenes.

3.) Community does not equal peanut gallery. The vocal, nay-saying minority does.
edit: I just shouldn't say this.

4.) Bottom line is unchanged. Let your work speak for itself.

5.)

Until about two months ago the company was officially registered as "Clauf GmbH, Berlin, c/o AZUBU Europe AG", then they dropped the "c/o AZUBU Europe AG" part and also took their widely ridiculed website offline.

I hope Clauf proves people wrong and does something legit, but pretending the community are just nay-sayers who are making shit up is kind of disingenuous. All we have seen so far looks exactly what Azubu 2.0 would look like and Clauf themselves created that impression, we didn't make it up.
The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man and give some back.
