Like Dreamhack did when TLO and 2GD had that amazing WCG qualifier cast and made fun of the organisers and everything in the studio. Much "harsher" (but totally harmless) jokes on DH's expense than the small jab at MLG I've seen in that video snippet. It's important to keep a sense of humour and that you can take a certain amount of self-depreciation in this situation, imo.

And it still doesn't make 2gd shady at all, exactly the opposite, which might make him a bad spokesperson in a lot of peoples minds. It is however exactly why he's such a highly regarded caster, he lets it all fly and his jokes are usually very funny although often very borderline. I seriously can't watch 99% of sc2 casts anymore, it's not just the massive oversaturation of the market but also the "everyting so amazing, so smart (when someone is performing the most boring successful all-in vs an unsuspecting (or even suspecting) opponent)" politically correct take almost everyone has. Not really blaming the castes, I'd probably be exactly like that myself making sure not to offend anyone. There's a reason I like the day9 dailies of his own play the most, He doesn't hold anything back and just says it like it is. That is also what 2gd does (and tastosis sometimes do) but the thing is it's not restricted by anything, he's not afraid of offending people people for better or worse. Although come to think about it I don't really ever recall him offending or ragging on anybody, tastosis are way more guilty of that if anything (liveforever not belonging in masters while playing their loverboy leenock comes to mind). 2gd is however very guilty of not following any code of political correctness, a plus if anything in my books at least, as long as it is joking; which it is. PS. he's probably dissed DH and certainly ESL tv waaaay more than MLG, while casting for them. Doesn't change my point at all. If you talk bad about your employer in a very public way, you're going to get fired. If you talk bad about something you represent in public, you're going to be separated from it. I'm sure all 1500 of 2GD's fans (myself included) will be upset, but this was a good and valid move by MLG. The first step to correcting a shitty broadcast is to remove the shit. A caster talking bad about the company he is casting for is, for all intent and purposes, shit. | ||

This is what you PAY for when you get this guy. If you watched the Sweden WCG qualifier with 2GD and TLO, it was basically 20% of 2GD talking shit about his employers and demanding cookies, but in a very hilarious british manner. Plus he was with TLO and towards the end they got really gay for eachother. This guy is a genius when it comes to making a crowd feel into it. If MLG don't like him it's their loss. Read the LR of the WCG and DH STHLM invitational if you don't believe me. People were crying to get this man on more SC2 events. Edit: And trust me. The small kick he gave MLG (for fucking skype crashing. Come on have they no self esteem?) is nothing compared to the shit talk he did about WCG. | ||

:D It's comedy gold as per usual. TLO: "What about that SCV?" 2GD: "What SCV?" "That SCV outside your base?" "Oh, that SCV... Leave him alone." I was supposed to do some work today. :/ | ||
