He's in the scene to make money just like he's in youtube to make money. I don't know if that's necessarily bad though. Commentators are the ones with the mobility to bounce around from scene to scene while players are pretty much committed after a couple of years. | ||

I bet he's rolling in so much money from all the money he spent on Axiom | ||

The only thing substantial on TB is his big mouth, a stupid person with fake passion, hope he goes away. | ||

he made the sc2 team cuz he was making too much money and wanted to get "eSportS-CRED" from the ESpORTS scene. *rollseyes* IDK let's all judge someone when all we have to go on are a few actions! | ||

he only viewed sc2 as a source of potential income.when it failed to return the invest he dropped it like a hot potato.which is understandable to a certain point but with him its a bit like with lance armstrong.the fact that he doped isnt the worst thing.the fact that he tried to put a saintly image while trying to destroy the lives of those who exposed him is the actually bad part.and totalbiscuit has a habit of insulting anyone who even implies anything to the contrary | ||

People on TL don't realize how big TotalBiscuit profile is. His youtube stuff is big. TB probably got sc2 more people than the contrary. | ||

In fact, the fact that he doesn't get a bunch more numbers when he casts SC2 is indicative that maybe he LIKES doing it. He said he coulda made more money doing random videos on his youtube page than casting MLG. | ||

But thinking TB got publicity from sc2, even if it's probably true, it's also probably very small. And if you don't believe in it, just ask the Planetside 2 guys. | ||
