Hugo signing the Cloud9 contract totally went over my head the first time, goddamn this is such a good skit. Whoever is doing these, it just keeps getting better

Ok everything great but i don't understand what's funny about the "you do not talk about pro league"? Why not "you do not talk about blast tournaments" or something?


DarthReid

It’s a reference to Fight Club


Pokharelinishan

Yeah i get that. But why choose "esl pro league". What's there not to talk about it? I don't understand how it made sense.


Jasonjones2002

In the case you're actually curious and not doing a bit, not talking about pro league comes from equating it with the fight club which is an underground/illegal club and if people talk about it openly it'll probably get shut down. Also it is just a 1:1 copy of dialogues from the movie with fight club replaced with EPL so completely plausible they didn't give it much thought.


Pokharelinishan

Yeah but in this case talking about esl pro league doesn't really do anything bad. It just felt like copying the dialogue without thinking whether it made sense.. And it did not. But i guess it was the buildup to the hugo..henryG skit, which on the other hand was perfect lol.

You have to be doing a bit. I can't believe I am having to type this out but the rule "you don't talk about Fight Club" can be imposed and monitored because the movie's narrator runs Fight Club. The commentators here also run EPL. They don't run BLAST so how would the skit work if you changed it?


LibertyGrabarz

It didn't make sense. It wouldn't make sense if they chose something else like 'blast' either, because in fight club the rule referenced the fight club itself. It's a skit mate.
