I have yet to figure out what he contributes to any panel either, I guess he knows some historical CS stuff? Seems like other than that almost anyone can pull off stats off HLTV and repeat them.

He's the color commentator, they need a jerk that people react to who can speak reasonably fluidly. The recipe is smooth guy, nerd and jerk. He's not there for his cringe history, he's there to be, see that shithead was wrong or unjustly right

the advice was fine, "dont push as cts, stop taking dumb 1v1s" I didn't even disagree with him.

he only lashed out at me because i told him to stfu and chill after a 2 minute long monologue. he then gradually got more and more insane, and started calling me a snowflake.

definitely the most heated gamer i've played with.

in lol mdl news ESEA banned Effys and Cardiac (really old people) for a year for throwing MDL matches. Stronglegs, the commentator, has been banned/cut from MDL too although the post is a little confusing on if it's because he knew about the throws or if it's just because he was betting as a caster which valve doesn't want

StrongLegs relational was that he was temporarily banned from Twitch for a month and wasn't technically working with ESEA in casting games, so he just thought "what the gently caress why not?" and made a bunch of bets on mdl teams.

In conclusion he's in a moron. Say goodbye to your rising star power.

Well that's the thing, I think effys and cardiac did keep it under wraps. It was someone at GG.Bet that informed ESEA what was happening and StrongLegs somehow got caught up in it as well. He and effys do have history together, but according to SL there was bad blood between them, so who the hell knows how it all came about.

It doesn't make it any less stupid, though.

This part of his confession stands out to me:

quote:

When I got suspended in July on Twitch and I wasn't able to work with ESEA either, I was desperate for money

I'm too lazy to dig, maybe someone else is privy… what did he do to get suspended from Twitch? Was it because he was giving gambling advice or what

If this dude was so good at giving gambling advice, I feel like unless he was already in the hole and had a gambling issue, it shouldn't have been a big deal for him to secure a real line of credit or at least borrow some cash from family or otherwise, and either make some dough or at least get by. It's not like he was struggling to eat or something right? Just seems like so little to gently caress a career up over. We're definitely missing the real story. I suppose it's for the best, at the end of the day he did a very dumb thing and got caught. I hope he gets the help he needs and straightens out

I mean hell, even a gofundme for "float me until I can stream on twitch again" or a patreon for gambling tips would have been a lot less shadeball. Based on the (admittedly very) circumstantial evidence, the implication seems to be that, because of how closely together the bets happened, he was likely doing it on their behalf, from their PCs?

One of the shittier things about a situation like this, is that without the league being there to enforce these things, it's loving impossible to prove anything in civil/criminal court anywhere in the world. Even with IP addresses you still have to prove his rear end was in the chair etc

How old are all 3 of them?

I usually end up in na with goons and rarely do eu mm (mostly do faceit if there's friends online). Feels like the average game in eu the coms are less clogged and chaotic with people mostly just infoing and maybe saying one line things. Probably because you have to do it in english and for most people it's just not worth trying to talk poo poo in your second, or third, or fourth language (obviously there are exceptions). That doesn't really save you when you end up with a team of guys from russia and ukraine deciding to talk things through during the game though.
