Gay Power Creep is such a classic Richard Lewis comedic one liner.
LOL im at 0:29 cant wait to hear this one
love old richie lew
frfr
Don't worry Mr Lewis, I can assure you that I will not be taking any Saudi money
Can we please bring Dash to CS ? He's a really good host. that don't need to die in Riot's hands
Hell yeah I enjoyed watching Dash when I used to watch league
agreed, Dash makes anything hes in 30x times better.
holy fuck Dash is an actual gigachad
To me he was always a great personality. Good to know hes a great person aswell! consider me a dash fan.
R6 caster here, we in the R6 community are especially proud of Interro and how well he represents us. He did a very good livestream recently talking about the esports awards and EWC, I'd reccommend it of you haven't seen it.
Got a link or title or something?
@user-Aaron- looks like the vod expired unfortunately
@@GerryCasts That's what it seemed like to me, thanks for checking though
world without dash on the analyst table took 50% quality away. its not like everyoneelse is bad, but dash was just constantly killing it, great guy
Sajam was first to come to mind when you mentioned the FGC. Never met him myself but always comes across as a down to earth dude. Agreed it's a tragedy the majority of the FGC seems to have folded.
Sajam is the man
fgc is full of grifters and mentally ill losers , you're not losing much anymore, unfortunately we didnt gatekeep.
Yeah, Sajam at least comes across as a super chill guy from watching all his content and commentating. Mr extra guac with that
Age of Empires will be more than happy to take DASH if League dont want him
The "Money I need with my position in life that I should have taken but couldn't do so morally" is hard to hear even when I'm doing the same (not with EWC offers but in general)
It's good to see Dash took the high road on this, but it does make the fact that Quickshot took the easy one hurt a bit more since they seem to be in similar situations.
Kinda funny to see pretty much all the former OWL talents siding against Saudi as well. Blizzard really did them a solid by killing their own franchise 😅
It's so cruel of Scoots, but damn if it isn't funny
Have you fought about creating a new esports awards with the other panelists that walked away or were kicked? Obviously it wouldn't be as big, maybe just a twitch stream even, but at least we would have something non Saudi in the space.
The FGC has been really disappointing in this regard, as you say. Outside of a tiny minority of people like Sajam, there are a lot more people who either don't comment on it at all, or say "the ESWC is a controversial event... but anyway here's the prize pool" or whatever, which might be even worse than saying nothing, in its own way.
WavePunk's statement was perfect. I hope that if I ever find myself in that kinda position I can be that kind of eloquent and to the point.
ChatGPT was eloquent, but the message was great, it's a good use of AI
@@zilliq-qz5uwAnything well-written that with your ability you cannot achieve = wah wah that has to be AI right???
@@Roasted_Piglet I'm not crying, I'm saluting it
The bots are out in full force
Dash and Richard hosting Farm Simulator Esports. Let's make it happen.
About the fgc, sajam and I think sonic fox have said something about not going, but most of the fgc (particularly in sf6) is silent.
Thing is, some of the best players in sf6 right now are actually from the Middle East, and I do get a more conservative vibe from some of the top players and the "oldheads" who probably frankly couldn't care less about lgbt issues, love saying "but the USA is bad!", and of course conveniently ignore the saudis direct involvement and human rights abuses beyond the lgbt
I also think they've all really bought into the whole "life changing money" aspect of the whole thing. After all, the fgc is poverty as they love to say. Won't take esports money but will take Saudi blood money.
You've started to attract the bots. Moving up in the world, it seems
17:00 thats gets a well deserved Standing-O from me.
Hell of a statement. That is how its done boys and girls. Take note.
Big respect to anyone putting morals before money.
Never thought I'd see the day we're we'd get an optimistic RL video on the Saudi situation
Gotta get dash on lfn
Thanks for shouting out Sajam, he's a real one.
Sadly, as I see it, broadcast talent is not that important and can be replaced. There always will be somebody to accept the gig. Sure it might not be the to tier quality, but as long as it is good enough and all the teams are there, it will make no change. Sure I would like to see you or thorin on the analyst desk, however if you are not there and the teams, I want to watch are, I would still watch a tournament,
I personally will not watch any games from this esports "world cup" out of principal. Same as I didn't watch any fifa world cup games in Qatar. Will it change something? Most likely not, but at least I know for my self, I didn't supported this facse.
Irony is that LucyLuce and others will still cast for ESL (owned by Saudi) :D
Awesome start to my day seeing all these talent coming out against Saudi. Now if only France fucking plays better on Monday.
"Electric is powered by fuel"
HUH?!
Unless you use nuclear, hydropower, geothermal as a sort of stable, large supply amount of electricity, you need some form of stable electricity generation.
...Fossil fuels. Wind, solar, etc. may be your bulk amount of energy generation, but it isn't stable.
For the purposes of the conversation though, what is that Twitter replier waffling about??? Irrelevant to the topic.
Generators or other electricity producing equipments.
You can also use river streams or windmills to produce electricity but probably not economical enough.
The better alternative .. Nuclear power.
@@rahatzaman8120yeah nuclear power is the best while it lasts. I wonder if at some point when we run out of radioactive material on earth to mine, will we go to other planets or asteroids to mine from there? We'll see.
Crude oil isnt even used for electricity generation. Fossil fuels used for power generation are coal and natural gas, neither of which are sourced from Saudi Arabia
Heres an idea. We can criticize Saudi and at the same time resist America's Pride Propaganda. Where are the good old days you could simply be indifferent to people's quirks?
im probably bad person i guess because i dont care about any of this shit. Money is money, esports event is esports event, if person taking the money is not hypocritical about it, not some "omg ally, pride for life" type of person going to host this event, whatever.
من المضحك أنك تدعم مثلي الجنس مع أن كتاب المسيحين المقدس يحرم المثلية الجنسية وعقوبتها الرجم حتى الموت!! هذا يدل أن لا يوجد عندك معيار للأخلاق بس تدعم أي كلام يقوله لك الإعلام الغربي. ثانيا من قال لك ان الحكومة السعودية تقتل مثلي الجنس؟ أعطني دليل واحد أو اصمت ولا تروج للأكاذيب الغبية، أنا متأكد أن لم يسبق لك الذهاب إلى المملكة العربية السعودية ولا تعرف عنها أي شي بخلاف ماتقوله لك الميديا المعادية للسعودية.
Good to hear Sajam is still a solid dude. I'm not as tuned in to the FGC as I used to be but I'm surprised they'd be OK with this nonsense.
“If you don’t stand for something, you fall for anything.”
Chucky-D
What are the alternative esports groups and tournaments that people should support, that have less ethical issues?
Pride and esports are not related. I don’t understand how being politically active would benefit esports. Like get this political shit somewhere else.
Machoor even doubled down after Sajam reply too. The guy just acts like a random internet troll, I can't stand him.
Saudi bent FIFA into getting the 2034 world cup, surely they can tame esports...
for the algorithm
Just want to say I appreciate the amount of videos you're putting out lately, love you longtime.
"Go kick rocks, kid" - GoldenBoy was one of the first guys I saw hosting an esports event and I'm glad he's still a babe
lololololololol
Rubicon makes a tasty energy drink - perhaps they should sponsor an esports team \m/
Custa from OW also said on stream that he refused to work the ESWC
Wow.. thank you for the content, player break would have sucked without all this.
Much appreciated 💖
I love this
Send Richard to some Saudi sultan's harem.
Lookin good Rich, still droppin weight it looks 👍
saudi is the best letss goooooooo
why force pride month on us?
None of this is *really* about Pride month.
It is about the hypocrisy of esports organisations (and other big businesses) in being willing to push pride etc in the West now that it is safe, and the 'right' thing to do in certain markets, while ignoring it in markets where they would get pushback - or cutting it entirely due to taking money from places like Saudi Arabia. Same with the kicking and screaming about female equality, but happily signing up with groups that don't share that belief.
All showboating, while having no actual principle outside of "Bag of Money"
I'm personally not a fan of pride, however I'm also not LGBT as far as I'm aware.
what do you mean by "force"?
@@h4lley_c0met well expect that anyone should care. it's an american invention if at all. like why the outrage about companies that choose to ignore it? that is called forcing it
@@ThePaull3dnobody is doing that
@@dementionalpotato he kinda is in the video
Is richard lewis gay?
Bisexual
@@mattbowater5250 damnn that’s unfortunate
@@Fatkidlovecake why would it be?
@@JakeHarperStuntman it’s just something that seems so unnatural and foreign to me. I don’t condone it and I would never be comfortable with someone shoving it down peoples force
@Fatkidlovecake
idk how to politely tell you this, but gay, bi, and trans people have always existed in history and will continue to do so
Rich i love you man but please something positive
its kinda funny there are many countries worse than Saudi and I never see you yapping about them
Oh are they funding esports too? Fucking retard.
Least obvious bot comment
like what
Their governments aren't actively and directly involved in esports. He's been critical of every government involvement that I can think of (United States Air Force, for example).
Non of them are actively trying to corrupt e sports
You keep yapping about the Saudi money sitting on your high horse as if you didn’t t use to live in a good and peaceful country of America lmao
Well, if this isn’t a stupid take
Does the US government run esports events?
Mr. @andrzejnawalany198, what you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this chat is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Rich has consistently denounced the US government for their crimes and their treatment of citizens and foreign policy. What's your point?
He has been very critical about the United State Air Force's involvement in esports.
Woow... think of the players/coaches that are gay, but not "come out of the closet"... Scary shit if a event suddenly is switched to be played in Soudi Arabia!! 🥲
Omg thorin said there should be a sports center like show that goes into drama of e-sports, news, and drama, can also be twitter or content creator drama. Hear me out, Dash as the host, And he can interview people a once a week podcast on LFN culture called Time to Dash, and its a short summary of the weekly news of e-sports, content creators and video game news. Imagine that. Can have special guests, like rich can come talk about saudi, monte about league etc. This will 100% kill relationship with riot tho.
