If SotG is going to continue but with a more news discussion angle and this one with a more metagame (for lack of less obvious wording) angle, I can still see both existing just fine. | ||

I liked it, something nice to look forward to along with other shows like sotg. More content always better. | ||

Is there really enough news in the eSports/SC scene to fill a show though? | ||

About the transitions between showing single-person cams: Don't change them to a single person every five seconds. Don't make it go on just one person unless they will be talking for a bit. You frequently changed it to the single-person cam and seemed to be playing around with it at inappropriate times which was distracting. Don't change it to yourself when you don't even intend on saying 10 words. I don't think it should be used except at times such as when someone is choosing players to get out of groups and their reasoning for choosing these players. The transition itself is too in-your-face for the frequent use it is getting. | ||

edit: also, re: artosis being a good host, i am sure that over a couple of months he will get the hang of hosting alongside being a active discussion participant. | ||

Artosis does not need to steak a viewerbase from anyone. Personally I think it would be great if Meta became 80%+ game talk and SotG became 80%+ news talk and ITG was 80%+ hype and comedy and The Pulse can jump to whatever the big topic of the week is. | ||

i just hope JP can get some suitable hosts for SOTG and keep it going (hopefully Incontrol will become a pillar once again) | ||

Seriously, what is SotG supposed to do now? Invite the same guests and have the exact same conversation? | ||

Last year for sure there was due to the mass amount of tournament. This week for sure due to, well, I'd hope most people on these forums would know why. But I definitely see it being more problematic. Maybe something more appropriate for LO3 (although with LO3 sometimes 2hrs just simply isn't enough to do what they want to achieve). | ||

Then this does not make any sense. Artosis definitely has more business sense then to do this. The similarities between the shows are insane, Artosis should of known there would be a lot of criticism and outcry from the community. This also brings the question of the 3 other people on the show. If they gave up SOTG for Meta, I wonder what they got in return. Maybe this was simply a money issue. | ||

Also have people not been watching SOTG since the beginning of this year? There has been a shitload of talk about the metagame, strategies, balance, etc. | ||

If JP gives this show his blessing, then ill give it ago, but other than that, ill continue to watch sotg for my strategy fix. It's just so extremely lazy. I had huge amounts of respect for Artosis. I've never been a huge fan of Tasteless because I always felt that he would phone it in a good chunk of the time(not a huge fan of the off-topic conversations during casts). Artosis would always be the one to steer things back towards the game and you could see he took it incredibly serious. With this move all that respect is literally out the window. I have no problem with him feeling that SoTG wasn't his thing and he wanted to go do his own. But to do what he did and literally just take the folks from SoTG(minus JP of course) and transplant them to Meta is absolutely horrible. Doesn't matter to me if JP is ok or not with it. ITG at least built it around their own hosts/guests. The same with Pulse. The same with 2GD. Yet this is literally a carbon copy. Artosis could've asked anyone and they more than likely would've shown up and yet he takes the laziest path. So much potential squandered because he decided to take the easy way while completely screwing someone else in the process. You gotta wonder what is going through his mind doing this. | ||
