Can't say I miss them but I do kind of miss that era of SC2 minus their entertaining toxic madness. | ||

Most of the time he's just sitting there, doing nothing or playing some completely boring games. Different strokes for different folks I guess. He's networked a bunch and has just kept doing stuff for a loooong time so the viewers are there ...unless he plays LoL  | ||

Guys like Combat or Deezer, or a certain recently banned from Twitch individual are just hugely toxic and behave like (are?) assholes who just make the scene look bad and aren't particularly entertaining | ||

I see both of them the same with slight differences. Maybe Destiny changed in the years he wasn't involved in SC2 anymore(the last project was The Late Game with Lycan I believe, that's what, 2 or 3 years back?). But back then I liked him more than Goeff  | ||

Most of the time he's just sitting there, doing nothing or playing some completely boring games. I find them to be more engaging than ever, but that's because I enjoy watching streams with gaming, viewer/ subscriber involvement, and debates about pretty much everything. I only wish he still played SC2 while doing all that. CombatEX and Deezer were two of the most cringeworthy players of all time, but sometimes it's entertaining to watch a hacking, cheating, ragequitting trainwreck. | ||

He absolutely does that. | ||

Those videos are GOLD, Jerry, GOLD!!! I enjoyed such idiots being made to look silly time and time again, that was fun. There’s a series of stream snipes where Idra kept beating Combat and that was entertaining as duck, and Idra’s counter BM was pretty funny. Or him being made to look like an idiot any time people had sustained contact with him I don’t even mind people being a bit BM but have some wit to it and don’t be a prick in other ways Just throwing out the same stupid insults over and over again, being a belligerent asshole, no the scene is very much the better for that not being a bit part of it. | ||

you could never win against him even if you won. when i think of it it reminds me of a different flavour of avilo. | ||

Destiny was kind of different but his views on some topics were like... WTF is this guy allowed to talk. Avilo should be up there too (in the list of guys we remember as being douchy and we could make fun off). At least for borderline, stupid, completly over the top 2GD was fun (especially with InControl) but he was... well... completly borderline most of the time. At least Geoff seems like a nice guy. I don't really like him because i don't like his humour and i think it makes him look like an asshole but that's apple and oranges. I don't think InControl is a bad guy though | ||

I see how it could be entertaning for many but it wasn't for me, it was pretty much reality TV "look at these idiot" and that's never been a thing I was a fan of. Plus some of those guys, or more recently talking about Avilo seemed just straight up questionnable human being. (Don't know there life of course) Incontrol has grown a lot of me in the last few years, but I think he has become a lot less toxic, and he doesn't seems out there to just make other people life miserable. Avilo crosses the toxic into the straight tragic, I'm not gonna say he was a great guy online, but his time in the SC2 community seems to have wreck his life, can't say I never played a part in it. | ||

Destiny at a time was pretty decent as well in the early days of BL infestors. He practiced very hard and I still remember he had a very fun game against Huk | ||
