Spooky said like a month ago when the moving rumors first popped up that he got an offer from a company to work for them but he would only be able to stream events for their games, so he turned it down. Don't know what's gone on since then.

edit: Spooky just tweeted that he's going to Japan to do the English stream for the Tekken 7 Master Cup

Zhi's gotten better now that it seems like he's a little more self aware and able to reign himself in at times.
I believe Zhi's still with Mad Catz, so Markman told him to dial his poo poo back after getting a ton of complaints during a tournament.

I think more than anything Art's streams are a great example of why running a stream and playing in a tournament are at odds with one another.

Capcom Cup will be one day, 2/3 till top 32. Top 16 and onward is 3/5

I was hoping the whole thing would be 3/5 and then do GF FT7 like at CPTA finals

Du won though.

[edit] The whole point I was making is that Justin was giving Du poo poo for taunting and said that doing so will cause tourney players to dislike him. Du probably doesn't give a single gently caress what Jwong or anyone else thinks since he's winning, but that statement from Jwong seems a bit hypocritical considering he's shifted to playing Elena for the sake of winning, a character that everyone pretty much thinks is cheap/broken/etc. I like Elena players, but even I think Justin's Elena is a crime against humanity to watch.

I wanted him to stick it out with Rose tbh. He kept crawling back to Rufus though. To me, it seemed his switch to Elena was reactionary to what unfolded at EVO.

[edit] Found the oddshot on twitter of Du putting on the shades and taking them off (since Twitch vods are poo poo to sort thru). Lmao. http://oddshot.tv/shot/leveluplive-201511199922596

Taunting mid-match is dumb but 1) Guile is basically the best reason to do it besides playing Dan, and 2) If you don't like it, punish the taunt. Du also has a history of doing it, so it's not that unexpected.

teagone posted:

Not for nothing, but it upsets triggers??? me that it's become common for people in the FGC use a term for people with PTSD/a history of abuse having a mental breakdown, as opposed to, like, 'pissed off.' :( That's not directed at you specifically, for what it's worth.

EDIT: Also, yes, Du owns.

To me this is the best response. If Nuckledu has enough time to be doing the shades thing this often, then Brent has bigger issues than being disrespected.

Are you literally saying that it's this other guy's fault for not being as good as one of the best players in the world, and therefore it's right and good that said player chooses to be a giant tool all over this guy he's vastly better than, instead of just ending the match quickly

Gotta rep the sponsor to get that eSports monayyy. That said, Brent has come off as a whiney elitist on twitter before, so maybe Du was just teaching him a lesson in humility. Or maybe there's some other underlying beef. Either way, poo poo was funny and awesome.

[edit] I mean, if I were as good as Du, I'd probably be taunting the poo poo out of other players I know I'm better than too.

Du did some interview before where they asked him how he feels he fits in the FGC

He said he doesn't really have friends in the FGC and that it's not a big deal to him, he goes to majors, plays, talks to people if they approach him, then just hangs out and rests. He said something about not liking the way the community acts; he's going to school too I think so he's more invested in that than maintaining any e-celeb FGC status.

Check out his stream maybe, he's streamed with Tampa Bison before, they're cool.
