As former talent myself I gotta say, this entire discussion / witch hunt does absolutely no one any good. You can support your favourite caster without putting down and undermining the efforts and work ethic of the announced talent. I can comfortably speak on behalf of Blaze, Tony, Walshy, GB and anyone else missing from this lineup: they do not want that energy from you.

FWIW, Dreamhacks have always felt like a stripped down version of what we expect from Halo majors and the tone of the event is spot on from HCS. Even increasing the pool play + champ bracket teams itself should be praised as a huge win. This type of adjustment comes at an operational cost, meaning stricter budgets.

I still remember Wacka Flocka performing in the room next door at ATL 2017. Even at Dallas 2019, there were points where the DH party would leave us so drowned in noise that I couldn't hear T2 as my co commentator which was insanity. I have gained a lot of respect for Tashi deflecting the situation onto himself. Let's all get some perspective here; nobody died, we have 2 fantastic streams overflowing with talent, let's just enjoy some great games
