    He always puts those leave comments at gaben@valvesoftware.com so I thought hey why the hell not? Here's my rather corny email so you can all flame the shit out of me.

    --------------------------
    Hello Gabe!

    I don't know if you actually read these or not but I think it's pretty cool to provide your email for fan feedback, so here is mine.

    TI6 was by far the best valve event to date. I watched probably a third of the group stage matches and main event matches live on twitch, and another third on replay on twitch. My goal someday is to visit TI in person, but living in Michigan with two kids it might be a little hard. But the casting was really well done and the commentators were excellent, although I missed Alan Nahaz Bester. I appreciate the way he tries to take a statistical approach to the game.

    That stuff Purge did with replay analysis on that touch screen pc was amazing. It was a whole new level of insight and I could probably watch a half hour show of just that.

    Getting rid of 2GD was definitely the right call, that guy sucked. Redeye is so much more professional and the other commentators are interesting without having to resort to antics like that clown.

    The direction you guys are taking the game is great. The meta is wide open and it's so much fun. Keep doing what you're doing. However, it's time for a Viper set! Let's go man, that flying snake has been too drab for too long! Troll warlord is looking a little dated as well...

    And while we're at it, steam is such an excellent platform. All things equal I much prefer buying my games on steam vs gog.com or any other site. They push DRM free, but steam has never been cumbersome or difficult for me, in fact it just makes managing your game library so much easier and I like having the steam stats on my games. So good work and I'll continue to keep supporting it with my money.

    Yours truly,
    Mark "Dire Wolf"

    and his response:

    Thanks, Mark, for the feedback. Yes, I try to read all the email I get.

    Pretty sweet. Makes me wonder how much time per day he has to spend clearing out his inbox!

                                  Well done man, was nice from you to share it. Cheers :) GabeN pls.

                                    Really? You like masturbation jokes from your host and him ranting about players WHO END UP WINNING THE DAMN TOURNAMENT?

                                    He said a team with EE will never win anything and wouldn't drop it and fucking EE won shanghai. And he played pretty good for his team doing it, even though he's been disapointing later.

                                    My point is 2GD makes the show more about him and his opinions and personality than about the players and game and matches. Personality is fine, being an arrogant prick is not fun to watch.

                                    But hey just one man's opinion. Email GabeN yourself and give yours.
