The Cross Assault thread (link to stream in 1st post)

esports - businesses turning regular people into celebrities…
its legit…
Not bad guys…
not bad at all…

Sooo what you’re saying is that the NBA ref who purposely fixed the NBA game was fine and that we shouldn’t be mad about it? Or any boxer who has thrown a match for money is okay? That any type of cheating in any high-level competitions, is okay? Because that’s what ur post is basically saying.

“It ‘aint about playin’ anymore, it’s about that paypa!”

If they’re seriously deciding to throw matches one way or the other then fuck both of them and I hope they get bodied every time they play.

If its just the drama thats fake then I don’t fucking care whatsoever.

Balrog to FGC: Sons, I am appoint.

That sounded so corny and fake sinister its ridiculous I’m just so confused right now. Like who actually says that.

Note I’m not seriously suggesting that they staged the stage, moreso that Andre is a little stupid.

more like z-list celebrities lol. Nobody in the real world knows who Daigo or Mike Ross is.

I thought it was great how he chuckled a little after he said it and then the car just got real quiet for a while after that. This whole thing is hilarious. Only the rivalry seems staged which everybody already knew but it is pretty funny to see the “evidence”. I don’t think anyone is making a big deal of this because it’s going to have “implications”.

Also, if you are the same guy from PSN earlier tonight thanks for not taunting every time you bodied me.

indeed, excellent correction lol

Yeah that seemed really weird to me too. And unfortunately you have me confused for somebody else but he sounds like a real gentleman :slight_smile:

With money comes corruption. Welcome to life.

Can someone explain to me why this is the death of ESports? I haven’t been really keeping up with the whole esports think :\

edit// nevermind. i was getting esports mxied up with MLG

I don’t even know what the fuck eSports is.

It’s going to make you question every match you see? The fact that Mike Ross and Jago, two players, talked about planning a handshake and joked about getting wrong. Something that you’re assuming means they threw the match AND that they’re in on some big conspiracy (because that’s totally where the logic-prone mind goes) is going to have an effect on how every other match is seen to you? Jesus, if the people who won’t be tuning in are all like you maybe we’ll get a group of viewers that can form real thoughts.

who cares, it’s dead now

stupid ass word anyway

I don’t think anyone actually knows what esports is.

Its just playing games competitively… so after tonight were all going to start playing fighting games for fun right and slap each other on the back after matches, or send congratulatory messages to people on xbl and psn after we get shit on right?

And can we stop with the stream monster talk on the forums? like honestly it makes us seem like a bunch of shit chucking apes.

Care to sum it up? I only heard the part where he said “…and they said that the rivalry was staged but the match wasn’t? Don’t insult the viewers intelligence now.”

I apologize. I exaggerated on that last part as I was still riding the hate. I won’t question every match I see, especially big tournaments. But anything similar to the Jago/Ross match from last night where it’s it only affects/involves a small group of people and they really try to build hype/story for future matches, I will definitely think twice about it.
