![]() Childish maybe, but it is what it is.Known for his enthusiasm and Motor Mouth, he is currently the most popular English-speaking Starcraft II commentator on YouTube, with more than 600,000 subscribers and a regular viewership of 150,000 viewers. This makes people feel hurt, betrayed and it leads to bad feelings and more nasty stuff being said. One other aspect is that some popular figures have left without ever giving any form of goodbye or closure, so to speak. Come to think of it i'm not gonna name them because it's a long time past and all is good now. This was the first time i remember arguments of "he's in it for the money/ he's fake" came up. There maybe not being so much love for the game accentuated the problem, he'll be back with BW:R i'm sure.Ībout TB i'd like to remind you who started one of the most unfair criticism campaigns i'v ever seen, and it wasn't a "nobody" but a couple of very popular community figures that had huge influence over the community. He put in a lot of work in his SC2 content so that makes sense. ![]() For Day9 he said it himself, time invested relative to views (money) is very bad for SC2 as compared to other games. That being said, i don't buy the hurt feelings argument being THE reason. I don't think some people realise how much influence they can have on a person when they make stupid and hateful comments. But as it turns out that hasn't been the case. and the game being mechanically harder to get into would be a bit of a blessing when it comes to keeping stupid children out. You would imagine that SC2's community being smaller than LoL/DotA 2/CS:GO etc. Despite doing more for the benefit of this game's competitive scene (and PC gaming in general) than all of them combined times a million. I'm genuinely impressed that TotalBiscuit continues to support this scene with events and money from time to time, given how much flak he caught from irrelevant shits-for-brains over the years. ![]() And then people wonder why he slowly distanced himself from SC2 and have the audacity to call him a sellout. Started of course by nobodies who have never achieved anything and likely haven't even played BW. Even he was targeted by all kinds of nonsense conspiracies that he's only in it for the money (that's why it took him 5 years to get into DotA 2 right?) or that he's a super fake person, or that he's actually an asshole IRL etc. well no, turns out people don't appreciate being shit on for no reason by anons who let's face it most of the time don't even have the credentials to hate in the first place.Įven Day who competed in BW at a higher level than 95% of people on this forum have ever competed in their lives at anything, and who provided such a wealth of information and entertainment and helpful positivity for years. Ask about them today, especially on /r/starcraft, and most of the answers will say "dolla dolla bill yo". Probably a big reason why a lot of other casters and content creators also got less and less involved with SC2 as time went on. This is super true and a lot of people tend to overlook it. He stopped appearing at events then stopped making content all together, he started managing his girlfriends productions so he went to that full time. It got really bad in late 2012, early 2013, when hots was coming out, people ripped into him for not being a real caster, or a real gamer, or not only doing SC2. Like, people made fun of him for casting, for no other reason than they didn't like the way he casted, that he got invited to MLG over their favorite casters, stuff like that. Well the community treated him like shit.
