Anyone else think Marc Merrill is a piece of shit, or just stupid?

I wouldn't say Marc is a piece of shit or stupid but I will say he isn't right about a number of things. Questioning another owner about not paying his players enough $ is beyond me. I mean if anything Andy is beyond gracious when it comes to player $ contracts, he also takes care of his retired players such as Dyrus and Oddone and I'm pretty damn sure Bjergsen and Turtle will get the same treatment in the future. When it comes to a family in the LCS scene it gets no closer than TSM.
Andy/TSM have always been putting their time and effort into the LCS scene (hint making it to 8 NA finals shows they put in the most work above the rest of the NA teams). Without Andy there wouldn't be a Team Solomid and without TSM who the hell knows where the LCS would be if there would be a LCS or League E-sports scene. I for one wouldn't even know what the LCS or League was if it wasn't for Team Solomid or Andy. Couple of months ago I saw Xpecail a former TSM member ask Andy if he could use 1 of his computers to play League in a vlog that he made while in the TSM house. Xpecail asked because most of the power was down across half of the country and Andy said..... YES! That right there shows loyalty for a former TSM member. Once a member of TSM always a member of TSM!

Long story short Marc has no real argument or appreciation toward someone that helped make the LCS for what it is today.

I wouldn't say Marc has no right to question or bring up certain topics like this as believe it or not when someone questions another in a orderly or adult manner the situations get resolved as clearly this one that Andy just made was a nice reality check and should make Marc take a few steps back or at least think before he questions another about what they're doing to make the scene better when you can't even get TL/CRS to a NA finals once or even make real content or have players that fans are interested to watch. Instead for TL/Crs players get rotated back and fourth into lineups because of anger issues, in game issues,maturity issues and what are you doing to resolve it?
I mean I remember as most do when Dyrus had that ( famous/ viewed outburst) towards Andy and yet they are close friends still till this day but when 1 of your players are in a hissy fit you suspend him for what was it 2 weeks or something but it was actually 1 game in a BO3 series? Oh but I remember it was actually 2 weeks starting during the off season if that makes any sense.

• Just my thoughts and view on the situation, interesting and eyeopening read.
• Happy Holidays and nice post!

I like to think Marc Merrill (or however you spell his name) is a lot like ghostcrawler: many people hear his name and immediately think of bad things, but can't definitively say why other than "oh, he's done bad stuff".

Can it be both? Anyone else think No Man's Sky Emeril element is actually inspired by Mark Merrill? M. Merril sounds just like Emeril.

Yes.
