I didn't go into any of the photo gallery. To be fair, he does play DotA 2 from time to time. Wouldn't be shocking if it was just bad timing on the reporter's part. | ||

Sitting in a private room, surrounded by displays of bottled sake, they looked a bit uneasy, and at first, their conversation was a halting mix of silences and shoptalk. Then the others noticed that Baker was sending a text message to someone on his smartphone. Garfield, in charge as always, asked, To whom? It was a young woman, and Baker needed help. Roused by this romantic challenge, his teammates came to his assistance. Joining forces, as a multiperson Cyrano de Bergerac, they offered suggestions for Baker’s texts. In the end, their communal gambit worked. The woman was intrigued and texted back. To Bates, the effort was in keeping with the Lair’s collective spirit. “It’s what we do,” he said. “We help each other and hold each other accountable. It’s just pretty cool when you can live with your best friends.” Seriously... | ||

The whole article was pretty good until this paragraph. Maybe they looked uneasy because they had a ny times reporter sitting with them, I know I wouldn't be able to act normal and natural if I had someone sitting there watching me and taking notes on my behavior. | ||

I see the problem here. Demuslin was texting the lady instead of talking with her. Ladies always fall for his accent.  | ||

I don't think their living habits are a big secret. Besides, what's really the issue? "Shocking news, College aged adults act the same even if not in College." | ||

Maybe the editing is at fault here and the question was much more provocative/ignorant than just is esport/ competitive gaming a real sport? But still, DeMu's answer was much more collected and sensible (that's why I think they might not have been asked exactly the same question). That whole cool kids club metaphor was just messed up. I'm sure there is a reason, but they should've let Geoff do the talking (at least instead of Machine). He would've convinced any worried parent watching the video that esports is the ultimate carrier anyone with a broadband internet connection could ever want. I know that Alex is extremely capable of doing his job and EG are a good outfit to have in this scene, but he still should have kept his professional demeanor. I wonder how Nazgul would have answered. | ||
