I just thought it was related, since this thread seems to be your chance to clear the air on a lot of stuff, especially when you posted this: "My profession and the community that is exposed to my profession demand a more serious approach. I do not look at this as a sacrifice but a necessary change. If I was just some player trying to commentate some games I would think my persona fine for that role. But I am not. I am the commentator for a league that is seeking to expand eSports in the west. I am a "face" for a brand that means a different future. " And I was wondering how that new face relates to some of the other brands you have promoted. Maybe now is the time to address it as it might be more damaging later on when you have a higher profile. That was my motivation. Alright that makes sense I appreciate that. I have responded each PM I have received but I guess I can mention it here as well: We originally said we will update the guide with videos and maintain it and that was eveyone's intention. The owner/guy that runs everything had his first child and since then became too busy to maintain the site. he tried to delineate work to others to keep it a float but without the main dude driving everything it kinda slowed to a halt. There were SOME updates but nowhere near what we had talked about. Since then he has been really busy and obviously so have I/machine. The guide is still 13 hours + of content for a 1 time purchase but it isn't as great as we wanted it to be with the "living document" idea. Here's the way i see it iNcontroll, if this community was pure Australia(inb4hatefromtrolls) i think people wouldn't give a shit, what you and the production team are doing, is fucking amazing man. Esports needs to be pushed everywhere and in any way possible. I wish we had someone like you in Aus pushing it for us cause over here it fucking sucks. This whole 'drama' is actualy hilarious to me and my friends who are reading this and i know we all agree you shouldn't care so much what the intertrolls say due to you laying down a handfull of jokes around in what like two sentences. What i think this whole "situation" is like for anyone without a brain --link-- I dont understand this whole expectation of you to act like a robot who is perfect in every single way, i think you need to listen to tasteless' mild rants during GSL when he talks from the perspective of cave-nerds in their basement troll-hut when the slightest hiccup occurs during some cast/production or situation that is so far beyond them that the only satisfaction they will get from wasting 6 seconds of their time is making you upset. Stay awesome dude and stay above the trolls, its what makes you so entertaining. Just wanted to thank you for letting me see that again. Fucking love Louis CK. | ||

The thing I love most about sotg is that I don't have to listen to some filtered PC circle jerk for the most part. They say what's on their mind and it is highly entertaining AND true. If a caster sucks, I want to hear them get ripped on sotg for it. "Well then you'll have to go to Husky" (during the TB mocking). Incredibly funny, incredibly true, and it had to be said. If you have a problem with that, sotg is obviously not the show for you. | ||

I don't post often on these forums, although I am a regular visitor - mostly because I limit myself to posting only when I'm sure I'm bringing something new to the discussion (which, with the huge number of amazing people here, isn't frequent) - so you could say I'm one of the "lurkers" you "offended" last time (I'm totally not offended btw). In any case, I listen to SotG regularly and I really hope you weather the storm and keep being the awesome baller you are. The reason SotG is so entertaining is the fact that you (and the others) don't mince words, say it how it is and even turn it into comedy from time to time. It's great to be able to see the developments in the SC2/ESPORTS world through the eyes of someone as close to it as you, Tyler, JP, etc. and it actually feels legit because you speak your mind, not because you try to please everyone and become stale and boring in the process. So please take a page out of Tastosis' book and don't pay too much attention to the internet whiners. Looking forward to the next SotG | ||

I don't know if the 'old' day9 who posted on the forums about progaming and progammer strats and talked about bear semen for 2 minutes was better or this new more proper day9, just as I don't know if the 'old' incontrol who would make fun of people and then say stop taking it so seriously was better or this new one under the scrutiny of the public eye. But either way, good luck to you. Day9 didn't lose his funny when he got proper, he just lost a lot of the language from it because he needed to be a legit "teach people to be better gamers" person. That doesn't mean Chill vs CombatEX wasn't one of the most awesome casts ever, though. I don't know if it'll be the same for incontrol, though. Yes, he's a progamer and he knows his shit, and he'll probably end up doing okay as a caster, but him ripping on people/things has been the highlight of many a state of the game. If he has to stop doing stuff like that he'll need a way to be more interesting than some other random high-level player doing casting. | ||

He rubs people the wrong way, openly discusses the things he hates, and has even taunted sports personalities to the point that they have tried to fight him on camera. E-Sports is fuelled by passion - if you take that away, we have nothing. | ||

True, but what I'm trying to highlight is that personality is as important as professionalism. Jim Rome may be an enormous douchebag, but he's successful because he is opinionated and energetic. I honestly think that iNcontroL is a far more interesting, positive, and funny host than Jim Rome is - and if HE can get #21 for all US Radio Shows, iNcontroL could definitely enjoy mainstream success if ESports was to really take off. Everyone makes mistakes in their career. I'm not going to say that personal development is a bad thing, but remaking yourself because of a couple of miscalibrated jokes isn't really needed. Keep doing what you're doing iNc. I was personally stoked to hear that you were the face of the NASL, I can't wait for it to start. | ||

people who are extremely trying to express their true opinions and are afraid to show their true self are the once that need to be criticized -maybe a slight change is needed if you become something more than just a sc2 player/caster but don't from joking guy who like to poke fun at people into some kind of boring business man who is hiding his thoughts. Good luck. | ||

Also don`t change. We`re not a bunch of old farts going into business we` re gamers. You represent the community as a whole and the truth is you were already doing a pretty damn good job of it remember not to listen to the screaming minority | ||
