I have the video and it's 2:01:33 seconds long. Is that correct or no? Dizee/Mack?

It was over the 2 hour mark, thats all I remember. I dont remember if it was 2 01 or if it was 2 59. Assuming its the original, which is unlikely at this point, you only need to listen to like the first 10 minutes. I didnt even listen to anything after that as it became irrelevant.

But if it the real version, it will backup everything I previously mentioned, Eseals wanted to use TRS to push their platform. They needed it to be more presentable and Animal was in charge of keeping toxic members away.

The very beginning of the video is them talking about Luke and him having left because he took a job in e-sports, correct?

I dont think that was the very beginning of it but yes that was a early part of the conversation.

I really have no idea. As many of you know, Im on the tail end of a weeks long drinking binge.

I've listened to the first 15-20 minutes of the video twice, and as I thought, there's nothing in it. People are just prescribing their own biased interpretation to craft the narrative they want to hear in their own head. On top of that, the video was recorded in August, 3 months ago. It wasn't even recent. So, as I said, this is just people stirring the pot needlessly because they can't allow themselves to move on and get over shit.

Having said that, this video does confirm something I've already thought all along, and that's that there's too many sharks looking for bait and not enough water for all the sharks. There's multiple people trying to take control and be the biggest shark in the water of the "Competitive E-Seals" concept and the entire thing is guaranteed to end up imploding eventually after they all slit each other's throats.

The whole E-Seals thing is incredibly divisive, as it fractures an already small community into "Competitive vs. Casual" and completely separates two portions of the community. The aim now with the franchise being in the state it's in shouldn't be to create a competitive scene. It should be to just get people playing online and getting people playing consistently. Once you have that and the community is large enough, then you can worry about doing competitive stuff. But right now, the numbers are too low, and all E-Seals does is divide an already small community and make it even smaller.

I get what you are saying...BUT..you have to keep in mind that one of the biggest draws for many people was the competitive scene. It could potentially get people interested again.
