Day three at Shanghai Major grouping stage starts with Valve firing the entire production crew and an unconventional announcement made by Gabe Newell himself via reddit.
Yesterday a shocking twitter post from the event official English host James '2GD' Harding came later the second GSL game serial finished announcing he was released from his duties past Valve. The panel resumed with Jorien 'Sheever' van der Heijden taking over as the English panel host and everyone anxiously waited for an official announcement from Valve along with a promised clarification from 2GD. Before James got to postal service his story, Gabe Newell made a personal reddit post stating the following:
"
Ii things:
1) James. Nosotros've had issues with James at previous events. Some Valve people lobbied to bring him back for Shanghai, feeling that he deserved another chance. That was a mistake. James is an donkey, and we won't be working with him again.
2) As long as nosotros're firing people, we are as well firing the production company that we've been working with on the Shanghai Major. They will be replaced, and we hope to become this turned around before the main outcome.
As e'er, I can be reached at [e-mail protected]."
The previous events mentioned by Gabe Newell are The International two, The International 3 and The International four where James '2GD' Harding was the console host. In an interview he gave at TI 4 to Curse, James said "this is probably the terminal time I am going to host TI" and and so it was. No detailed reasoning was given at TI 5 other than he decided not to interact with Valve anymore.
The proclamation of his render at the Shanghai Major split the customs into two camps as his personality and his loose, relaxed style of hosting is not everyone's cup of java.
His thoughts on Valve's decision are withal to be fabricated public as he decided to sleep on the matter rather than rushing the response:
"
Going to slumber on information technology (statement). It'southward a very very odd situation… I'm not trying to tease, just let me think about this. It's of import to me."
Nonetheless, in one case Gabe went to reddit, James responded in the 11k comments thread proverb:
"
This is why my statement is taking quondam. It seems more personal than professional. So I volition respond. Just for the record gabe, I don't retrieve you are an donkey. But I don't remember you are right most me (well maybe you are a bit of an ass for calling me an ass, but let's find out what others call back shall we?). Brb "
In the meantime some of players have started to voice their opinions regarding the Shanghai Major storyline then far. Peter 'ppd' Dager kept a daily Vlog and in the today'south episode he'due south giving his two cents on Valve'south conclusion to burn 2GD.
As polarising as James Harding may exist, the about disappointing part with this second Dota 2 Major was the amateurism displayed by the product squad. Plagued with an unbelievable amount of technical problems including; astringent sound problems, freezing streams, poor lighting studio setup, no working microphones, really badly executed transitions from the casters to the panel and in total more than four hours of delays in each of the start 2 days, was what truly defined the Shanghai Major so far.
Without exactly knowing who is backside all these, the community flamed a lot toward Perfect World, but the fact is that the one hired to deliver the Shanghai Major production was KeyTV, the Chinese Content Producer based in Shanghai that was also responsible for Nanyang Championship. And if we take a look dorsum we volition detect the similarities in the product value of these ii events.
An inside perspective at how the English product went down in the first 2 days can exist plant in the TwitLonger mail service made past the English production translator hired by KeyTv.
"
Based on my own communication and ascertainment of the Chinese piece of work culture, they are more concerned with saving "face" than to albeit that they are wrong. Generally delays happen because people are busy arguing well-nigh whose fault it is and not working together to figure out solutions. Communication was poor, relations were bad, and piece of work mental attitude was BAD. (This is a general overview, obviously in that location are exceptions. "
Afterward broadcasting the first 2 series of the twenty-four hours without a panel, the English stream has managed to improvise a solution and resumed the show with Dakota 'KotLGuy' Cox as host. For the first function of the 24-hour interval it was the crew from Moonduck studio who stepped in and delivered the in between games analysis with Zyori, Purge, Maut, SUNsfan, PimpmuckL and SirActionSlacks.
If y'all are wondering why the official Russian console is not afflicted by this mess, that's because they were able to bring their own modest product squad to secure the Russian coverage part for this Major.
