after sacking 2GD to CCP
day9 didn't have 0 knowledge about dota. It just takes a lot of time to get to a level of understanding that many of us had. We were a minority in that regard and he probably wouldn't have been able to tell us anything we didn't already know. His role was not to be a dota expert or appeal to dota experts is my point. He had plenty of experts around him to speak in that regard. His role was to manage the flow of the event and try to fill dead air by encouraging or directing discussion with questions and statements, and letting the experts do the talking. He helped to attract a new player base and get more viewers for the event from the sc2 community and his own fan base. By not being an expert on dota 2, it was helpful because it made him more relatable to a lot of viewers, many of whom had a limited or basic understanding of the game. It helped him be able to ask more questions that someone who already had the knowledge might not have thought to ask. This helped an audience with lesser understanding stay engaged more and fill more dead air throughout the event.

Dota cometh from starcraft yung 1 you must read the sacred texts
excuse me?
perhaps you can't read.
i said that's troia.
Fair enough but I think if you're going to show up in a new scene with 0 knowledge to be the glue that holds things together, you should be a generally kind & pleasant person and also do so with the understanding that all the people around you know more than u and have more interesting things to say
Doesn't sound like redeye was the person that could do that. Maybe day 9 could
It's just annoying to me that redeye was put in that role just to be an asshole to random production staff and potentially fuck up genuine dota ppl's careers

did you approve that user in order to confirm that statement?
i pressed "accept" on his account.
what does that mean, and i'd appreciate it if you'd stop being coy about this. it's pretty shit.
My thoughts exactly. He was good at asking the right questions to the right people.
Still, I thought the way he acted seemed kinda phony, like he was super interested when he really wasn't. Maybe it's just me. IDK.
i'd appreciate you stop being a bitch to literally everyone you encounter
id appreciate it if you could treat literally anyone with an ounce of kindness rather than like theye're some piece of shit servant you have.
if kyle says its troia thats good enough for me
he takes pride in helping to run this site, and running it well

I misread that then. I thought you were saying day9 was a shit host. Didn't realize you were talking about redeye.
its known that ashnichrist cheated on her bf at ti5, half these accusations even ones in other games r just chicks cheating on their bfs and tehn trying to say it was rape and not take responsibility for their actions
Yeah I got a little bit of that too. I think that was his auto pilot way of trying to be supportive of whatever the other person said while not always knowing what to say himself. It's a tough job so I cut him some slack.
