They had two white dots underneath each player's name that turned blue with a win. Could be better for sure.

wat
That was one of the stupidest things nasl did.
Mind fuck.
The biggest thing i found funny which has been mentioned about incontrol and nasl was it went from "we" when it was going good before the start to "them" when fucking problems started to happen.

I just dont get how Lindsey making a quick buck is okay but totalbiscut hosting tournaments/spreading the word of sc2 is bad. lol.

Good god, incontrol you fucking moron.
Say what you want about TotalBiscuit, but dude loves the game.

To me they are both ok. I mean she wanted to make money and got a job. It wasn't her fault she was hired, I doubt she knew what she is getting into.
TB is doing the same thing as any other youtube + tournament caster and addition to that he makes cool tournament(s).
So I agree. I don't get at all how Inc can say that (other than being a douche ofc)
One thing about Lindsay is that she wasn't the greatest interviewer but she got people talking about her and by that about NASL. So maybe it wasn't such a bad move from Russ.
Corran Horn said:
I may not like TB's commentary, but he seems like a sensible guy without major douchiness to him. He likes games, runs his YT to cover games, and people enjoy his commentary in Europe it seems. (Think it's mostly us NA guys who can't stand his thick as fuck British accent and too often dumb stuff he says)
Lindsey on the other hand I don't want anywhere near "helping SC2 grow," because she is a fake as shit person who just wants to go through life on her looks. She can go do porn, strip, or stick to being an air head model or turn to doing tricks in alleys. I'd let her sex me. I think people should wait till esports has matured the right way instead of taking quick shortcuts with bimbos for temporary influx of interest in the scene.
She's also my favorite oompa loompa of all time.

She got popular for all the wrong reasons.Trickster said:Wasn't she quite popular or did I miss something?
Watch djwheat talk about it on...weapon of choice I think. It is a idiotic idea to put someone out to interview people who has zero knowledge of the game when your primary goal is the hardcore. I can understand if you market to the casual and want that pretty face, but nasl goes for other markets.

Well, slightly less bad because incontrol doesn't have children :x
Trickster said:
Good point. I'm not quite sure what the term would be for the situation Panda put himself in where he was obviously joking on actually wanting incontrol to die, but probably more so meant it'd be nice if we never heard from him again when it comes to esports/SC2/etc.
Plus, he isn't a girl so white knighting doesn't apply. My bad.

I gave up SC2 for Lindsy.
but seriously, InControl is loud, charismatic, brash, played sports, has a hot gf, etc etc etc. He's everything nerds despise and it's no wonder so many hate on him. Dude is not a great player, sure. He cheeses and exploits his race's imbalance, no doubt - and no one will call him out because he's friends with most of the pro gamers. He's said some dumb things, no doubt. But the same can be said of many pro gamers, yet I can't think of any more reviled than him.
I like him, he's a great personality. Who knows, maybe he'll go the way of Marine King Prime and disappear once his race becomes more about skill/macro than easy aggression. Until then he'll continue placing relatively high in tournaments, despite the cries of nerds.

I don't like Inc because he is a douche who likes to talk shit about others but can't take it himself.
Like someone said. Only thing you need to know about Inc is how his relationship with NASL changed from "we" to "they" as soon as it started to go bad.
I don't mind him being loud and having a hot gf. I'm not loud but at least I have a hot gf too so I'm cool with that. I really doubt people are just secretly jealous of him so that's why they hate him.
He just isn't someone I would like to hang out. That said I have never seen him face to face so maybe he is a cool guy and only acts like a jerk online.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Haha, TB doesn't have a thick accent at all. This is a thick accent. Also he does SC2 stuff because he loves the game, he makes more money from his other content and he also used ad revenue to host a tournament.zlatko said:
:lol, he got 4th at MLG by losing to anyone of note, got completely embarrassed by Select. Name a tournament outside of MLG that he has placed highly in?PhoenixDark said:
Don't really see how him playing sports or has a GF is any reason why people 'hate' him, he also seemed to be like your typical bully. He loves to talk shit about people, but as soon as people start talking shit about him he cries like a bitch.
Pandaman said:
He did get 4th at MLG Dallas and that's the best he's ever placed, other than his WCG championship win a few years ago. That's pretty good.
My main problem with him is that he's a hypocrite-he criticizes people and organizations for their shortcomings (perceived or real) but can't take any criticism of anything that he does or is involved in. If he wasn't so outspoken about how much he cares for e-sports while simultaneously being so defensive about his own weaknesses, I'd like him a lot more.
Ikuu said:
Honestly, his is a thicker full on what you come to expect from a British person accent. Your link is like their version of slang, because their actual voices aren't accented even that hard, and the ones that were sounded more Irish than someone from the UK. It's like using a black guy talking ebonics with a Texas accent from the south.
TB remains the most British sounding man I've had the pleasure of hearing.

MC and Nada will represent SK Gaming in foreign tournaments now. Still members of oGs and will represent them inside of Korea.

Makes me happy that we will probably see Nada in foreign tournaments now. Sad he couldnt go to dreamhack.
incontrol vs major was one sided as well, i don't even remember major mining with his mules at all.Ikuu said:Haha, TB doesn't have a thick accent at all. This is a thick accent.
