EG is as cadaverous as the CPL right now. Read on their website.

You are very wrong sir and on a number of issues. It is hugely popular as a show (the hits for it are more or less on the same scale as some european esports news sites alone...), GGL do not own the rights to EG (WHEAT does) and Marcus is free to take the show with him wherever he decides in the future. GGL never had creative control over the show, Marcus always did, although in recent weeks, firing most of his team for cost cutting didnt help the show or help GGL ultimately retain Marcus.

Marcus was the last of the big people at GGL which created original content that people actually came to the site for, so I would say its a huge blow for them. He joins a long list of people who have provided GGL with that unique content that have now left and without any disrespect to those still at GGL, the quality numbers very few.

"It is hugely popular as a show (the hits for it are more or less on the same scale as some european esports news sites alone...)"

The two hundred viewers I saw tells a different tale.

"GGL do not own the rights to EG (WHEAT does) and Marcus is free to take the show with him wherever he decides in the future."

Pretty sure that's what I said.

"GGL never had creative control over the show, Marcus always did,"

Pretty sure I said that too.

200 would be on their live stream, not on their VOD hits which are quite phenominal.

"but as far as I know Epileptic Gaming never was that popular." -> wow understatement of the year =/

yes, 200 on the live show, and like 2k on the VODs over time... A LOT of people check in the show when they have time and that's not always when it's live...

if you ask me, i dont see any harm in Carmac's comments.. he didnt disrespect GGL, just pointed out what djWHEAT done for GGL, how much he was useful to them and that GGL may be in danger now that he left.. normal journalism if you ask me. good luck djWHEAT (even though he most probably isnt reading this XD)

"It looks as though Stuart "Tosspot" Saw might be sidelined from shoutcasting North American CGS activities."

TosspoT aims to build an own company hosting a league and several LAN events in Europe. Doubt he's interested in shoutcasting CSS in the US right now.

I meant in terms of your suggesting he didnt care. You have no idea what went on or what goes on you can but speculate but you are wildly wrong.

Apparently they weren't being treated so great at the GGL, glad he was able to get away.

Best of luck Wheat!

how was fatal1ty's commentry?

Terrible. I don't know why hes even casting. Why not let the professional casters cast...I bet they just told him to go do something so his big ass ego wouldn't get in the way.

Marcus say it ain't so. I know you have been a rather large supporter of the CGS from day 1, but damn. I was hoping to see you go somewhere else not the CGS. Oh well, maybe you can elevate those sons'a guns. However I guess people will actually watch the CGS now considering there is finally something TO watch.

I would personally rather TosspoT get the casting job, I like watching him cast more. I rather just have Marcus as everything, but let Stuart cast.

Well, it seems like I'm in fact not perfectly informed (how could I ;>). Nevertheless CGS is not the future of gaming. Having a whole community behind yourself and working on a project supported by even more people could bring you more than you would ever get at the CGS (which is dead as soon as the sponsors say bb). Keep it up, see you in September having a beer hopefully ;o

Marcus is a huge gain for CGS, If it wasnt for the friendship and mentorship from the likes of Marcus, Paul & Alison at iTG/GGL I would probably be long gone from gaming. Best of luck!

To bo, whilst I'm glad you're batting my corner its of course a huge shame not to be working on one of the biggest projects in gaming. I've got other projects to keep me busy though as you mentioned, and if I remember your comment rightly the other day, I'll see you in September :)

Marcus is probably the CGS's best buy to date, I might not be the leagues biggest fan but it's nice to see that they are finally taking on the best commentators instead of people like Fatal1ty because of his stardom. Of course I mean do disrespect to Fatal1ty, but he had (afaik) not done any form of casting/commentating before being hired by the CGS so could hardly be expected to be great.

I hope Marcus really changes things up at the CGS and makes it more exciting to watch :P
