Very insightful and engaging interview. I completely agree with what Tobi had to say about LoL and Riot's e-sport tactics.

Was a great interview, Tobi's a fun guy and he knows what he's talking about.

Tobi is lying, some of his first recordings were recorded, I've watched them back in the day :P

most are old mp3's from tobi! it can be difficult to find back the game version of dota with the right version of w3 with the right replay though :P

several times he asked about stuff that Tobi had been talking in detail about just minutes earlier.
and it honestly sounded really bad when he was swearing. not a fan of him either.

3 hours of "click dip" sounds makes you insane.

Yeah JP is a boring guy overall. Never liked when he co-casted S2 with Day9. I would love a chat interview betweeen Tobi and Tastless, or Tobi and Day9. That would have been entertaining, mixing 2 strong communities and their representatives.

JP is a great guy and does lots for SC2 and also the entire e-sports community. The entire reason of RT is to only focus on the one being interviewed. Granted, he doesn't have the most experience or knowledge of Dota, which is why I think the interview was harder for him (and the fact that he actually knows most of his other RT-guests pretty well). I thought it was a great interview and I thought both JP and Tobi did a good job.

I actually planed to spend my entire evening watching Starladder Season 2 replays from jD, but then I caught up this topic, and I watched the entire video. 3 hours, so damn worth it. Oh my lord, seriously guys, if you have spare times, watch this damn thing immediately.
