RedEye is a pretty amazing host, and professional, but I've read from a lot of sources he's quite the shark in private business, and value his ego quite a lot, so heeeeh... Not surprised.

I thought it was a bit strange that I didn't see him at IEM Taipei. Certainly one of the more pleasant personalities in eSports

Forever grateful for his contributions to the SC2 scene! One of the greatest figures to promote the foreign scenes

Hope to see him casting again soon. Every time he always brought the HYPE and dropped good post game interviews.

Certainly the best host in ESPORTS, I hope he won't leave SC2.

Redeye is one of the figures in esports that I don't merely like, but I have an earnest, genuine respect for. His contributions to the scene - to EVERY scene - cannot be understated.

And more importantly, that contribution is also not over. He's going to still be one of the all-time giants of esports with this new job. I agree with those who suspect that GFinity's made a power play here. He'll be missed at IEMs and whatnot, but I'm excited to see what his new role will have to offer to him. So instead of a "NOOOOOOO

" thread, this should be a congratulations thread! Congrats to Redeye, and I'm looking forward to his new ventures! #PLOW

Your words carry the stench of truth.

Ever since I listened to Thorin's interview with Paul, I've had nothing but respect for the guy. Very humble, very hard working, and, in spite of anything Paul himself might say, very talented.

He's given eSports a lot, and I hope eSports has realized that and started to pay him back in kind. IEM won't be the same without him.

Though I haven't seen his casting in ages, from what I remember, he always seemed professional in what he did and I loved that fact. Best of luck in what you do ReDeYe!

Mr. Chaloner is ubiquitous with the foreign scene to me, wherever he goes I hope he only has success.

Redeye was a solid host. I don't actually think Redeye's hosting abilities will be missed all that much, but what MIGHT e missed is the professionalism that he brought to his projects. When you pair Redeye with Apollo +1 casting you get a much more professional feel than you get with most any other host/commentators in the scene and the entire event comes across in some way like its a level above. I've wondered though if in an era where sc2 numbers are declining and jobs are shrinking from 2 years ago if having smaller teams isn't financially smart.

Anyway, good luck to Redeye, the professional.
