Honestly, without @gbwead this PSL would have been one of the lamest PSL's yet.
After the midseason the hype for PSL partially died, resulting in ppl playing their match last minute, or not playing at all.
Maybe this PSL was too early, I don't know why a lot of people stopped caring
I don't agree with gbwead on certain things he said, he was sometimes a total asshat in public but he knows that.
That aside though, IMO he was the perfect villain for a competitive event like this.
It made me think of an esports article I read about villains in esports and why they're needed to hype and spice things up (https://slingshotesports.com/2017/03/14/apdo-forg1ven-s1mple-idra-naniwa-why-esports-needs-more-villains/) Maybe gb will need to find more balance in the future on that, it was his first season after all.
Also, as a manager, gbwead was top tier. At least as good as a manager as Kaynine last season. And that's a compliment for both. Excellent assistance when needed and always in touch to talk. I'm sure guerinf can agree on that. This wasn't always the case for spartans coach in the first weeks (but spart improved over time from what i've heard)
Also @DoubleJ, thanks for hosting PSL. You tried to be consistent and you were present, which is nice. You're a good host.
I don't think you were biased, but sometimes it's not about actually being biased, but it's about how you profile yourself. Take a chill pill next season. I'll take one too.
For next PSL i'd be happy if you were still the host, but I don't know how certain teams (no namedrop) would feel. Maybe something to be reviewed with gunthug and orange.
Also I hope that everybody can speak their mind freely about how they feel in PSL, i personally felt from some players a certain "twofaced-ness", for example fully agreeing with me in private about certain things but afraid to speak up because of public image. You know who you are. Sad.
Also to all the haters: Try to not wipe your ass with sandpaper but use regular toilet paper. It helps.
