I guess this happens when your average manager in the field is below 30 years old (when it started).
Best of luck to him anyway. He has a degree. Please educate yourself. Can you imagine if I was the best SC2 player of the last five years?
no

Best of luck to him anyway. He has a degree. Please educate yourself. So what. I have a masters in astrophysics. This doesn't make me a scientist until I produce peer reviewed valuable research.

I am not a hater on his work though, it's good that people like him are trying to create some kind of journalism for e-sports; it's just not there yet, there is still quite a road ahead for it to be comparable to professional journalism; starting with not insulting everyone you don't agree with, and presenting facts without judgement. You don't need a degree to be a scientist. Anyone can be a scientist. I'm not going to blindly support RL, but the claims you are making seem outrageous. Which articles specifically were based on hearsay? Did it end up being true? Comparing his stuff to the tabloids makes you sound like a hater. A lot of what you call "E-drama" is relevant to the scene. Please name 1 brilliant scientist from the past 50 years who doesn't have a degree.
I can do much better than that, though you'd probably deny their "greatness." As it turns out most of these guys start off without a degree, but end up getting several degrees anyway after they become famous/successful.
There are plenty of talented people in the world who don't need formal schooling to come up with incredible stuff.

I just did some science just now. I put a fruit fly trap with just vinegar and they ate it right up without dying. So I altered my experiment, added dish soap to the vinegar and this allowed them to drown and die. So yeah, anyone can be a scientist.

What you mean to say is that anyone can be a scientist AND a 4th grader. Kudos, you've proven that true at the very least

Never liked him or Thorin for that matter. They both dish out punishment left and right but whine like little bitches whenever someone retaliates.
I'm glad they both moved on from SC2, though I still have to suffer their idiosyncrasies in CS:GO "They dish out punishment left and right" And I here thought it was LoL and CSGO n00bs that hate them for doing a good job, but apprently BW players can be as n00b. It's funny how many people shit on Thorin and Richard Lewis for showing us what the eSports scene is actually like. We can't live in fantasy forever. I never played Brood War ... But if anything the fact that guys like these can stay in the industry tells us a lot about the quality we, the public, have come to expect : shitty, insulting, slurs-filled drama. the notion that something like thorin's reflections series is just shitty, insulting, slurs-filled drama especially as opposed to "quality" interviews conducted by other organizations gave me actually a mild chuckle. It is cherry season again ? Thank god they at least try to do their job ! However the toxicity they foster far outweighs the production they have.
That cherry season where I suppose your twitter and youtube comment section conduct outweighs everything else ?
I guess I lack the twitter/twitch/dankmeme/youtubecomments/whatever affinity to see it that way. At the end of the day I don't really think it's important that given their personalities they'd likely not end being the best buddies of yours or mine for that matter but that toxicity comment there of yours seems just an exaggeration. But then again I remember some broken baguette incident maybe that was a bit hard to swallow.

Yes, anyone can be a scientist - but have to be incredibly motivated and bright to do so. Thought I would post a link instead of just spouting - you know guys evidence > speculation/opinions. It tends to end childish arguments before they have a chance to start.
High School Student finds a possible cancer cure
I am pretty sure a high school student doesn't have a degree, and that sounds like science to me.
On topic : recently watched a few of the videos he made on the riot/reddit fiasco they were well presented and informative. A great watch for those who haven't seen them.
