If he wore a suit, his awkward interviews would be epic.

The Stephano interview was the most awkward interview I EVER saw... Epic! ;-D

Polt's interview, it surprised me that he was rooting for HuK to win :D.

I appreciate Hot_Bid's interviews oh so much. I have not seen a single one without smiling. Thank you Hot_Bid.

Wasn't aware we had to thank everybody for every little thing that they do @_@

Hot_Bid does some amazing interviews. Even the gamer doesn't feel nervous or weird while giving the interview. The way Hot_Bid just makes the gamer comfortable is amazing, asking just random questions at start, very general chat with them and slowly moves on to ask the hard questions. The way he asks them makes those questions so funny, just amuses me.

Everyone should watch each and every interview he did ever.

Thank them for doing their jobs? They were good interviews, but come on. We don't need to thank every single person involved in every tournament.

Yea! People don't need recognition. When they do work we should just nod and say, 'As expected'. That'll provide adequate incentive for them to continue doing the job...

If we start thanking people in this context then I'll have to start thanking people who prepare my food, pick up my garbage, assist me with my term papers.....the list goes on.

THANK GOD we aren't expected to thank people who just 'do their jobs'.

This is the case for the vast majority of all work that is done by everyone. The incentive to continue is that they're getting paid.

Fair point. Everyone likes a thank you and it's polite, so it isn't that big of a deal.

It just seems silly to fill the front page with thank yous for Hotbid and Sundance and the casters when the only reason they get a thank you is because they were front and center. 1000 people doing the grunt work for the tournaments never seem to get thanked, so sometimes these posts seem to be less about the thank you and more about internet celebrity...

Just my two cents.

Pay is never enough incentive on its own. That is to say; on it's own it is a pretty terrible motivator. That is something you can learn in any introductory management course. They really rail it into your brain. People NEED recognition.

And honestly man if you think that those 'grunts' should receive a thanks, then it is not difficult. Email [email protected] and tell them you would like to forward a thank you to the sound engineers or administrative support or whatever.

Managers are always looking for ways to motivate their staff. If you give them that for free, simply because you want to, then I don't doubt they will forward any message.

the only reason they get a thank you is because they were front and center

See, this bugs me. The only reason? These guys work. They work hard and the fruits of their labour are enjoyed by about forty-thousand nerd-ballers on this sub-reddit alone.

Celebrity gets them more thanks than most, but that doesn't make them undeserving.

Yeah, I read it like that too after I wrote it, but not really what I meant. Fuck it. I like Starcraft, too.

well not really thank everyone but after you see other interviews which happened during this tournament. Hot_Bid deserves a pat. A well deserved appreciation never goes unnoticed.
