Best of James "2GD" Harding

[@RainGolem37]

Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need.

[@WindUpEzreal]

Jake and amir?

[@kshjalle2265]

I come here like a trespasser of a cemetary, i come to light a candle of a person who was too good for showbusiness. Like that of a burning candle a tear is falling from my cheek, to honor the cheekiest.

[@heavymetalgaming7145]

I don't even play dota and I love this guy. He gives zero fucks about anyone else's delicate sensibilities. Wish we had more hosts like him in the esports community.

[@tnightwolf]

HeavyMetal i do play Dota, but Gaben was actually the ass =(

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Wish we had more people like him in media in general. Way to hold off those SJW PC acolytes

[@DarkSaruman]

I don't know what exactly has happened and it doesn't matter anymore, but I'm certain that a big number of people have been watching the events because of him. I certainly did. A big loss for Valve.

[@ilarisaureinelasian9631]

I stopped watching when they did fire him. I love him, and this guy Slacks was so fucking annoying, its not like he was doing it on purpose though, but I get this feeling watching him. James was pure gold just being himself :d

[@placeholdername3206]

What happened was that 2GD was always known for being a huge troll, but very entertaining as well. Just look at James face at 0:46, how both of them just took the bait, hook line and sinker. Thats all James. People loved watching him for that, and he was most one of the most popular casters across multiple games, if not the most popular due to the simple fact that he had a personality. Being offensive and saying controversial shit was his schtick. Valve knew this befpre hireing him for the Shanghai Majors. Icefrog himself even told 2GD that he should just act like himself, like he always does cause thats whats expected. So James did that, Valve got pissed and he got fired.

[@Shuorbr]

God I miss him! Such a great fucking personality, loved the 2gd studios era!

[@Gilkaroo]

2GD MADE THE DOTA PANEL, ALSO THE PRE SHOW IN THE HOUSE ... MISS THAT STUFF

[@bobie1433]

Always missed but never forgotten.

[@lopok007]

i miss u james ! :) dota wasnt about idiots with headset and tie. I dont like todays events because its lacks fun.

[@traida111]

The dudes fucking well funny.

[@powderhungry6611]

this dude and joe miller were great co hosts

[@gzaos]

The BEST miss them so much

[@ErdnußRiegel6969]

I'm totally gay for James if I ever host a big dota event I would hire him and I would say to him be completely like you

[@FawadNaeem898]

I hope you do host a dota 2 event because he is back

[@NumberJ42]

he was too based for this world

[@kingksn]

Welcome back James :)

[@ZenoDiac]

Well! The legend is back for TI 2022!

[@ansellikjen1856]

reminds me of thorin just better in every way possible

[@bringsik100]

Rock Lee The Thomas The Tank Engine Fan 2GD is more savage than Thorin. Thorin still praise some players who hate him and defend players who hated by CSGO community. but james savages pedal is always on full throtle . what I always remember from thorin is when he made video defending flusha. and praising get_right even totte seems don't like him

[@Kenshin0522]

JAMES IS BAAAACK BOYS!

[@MikeChecka9]

TI7 JAMES IS BACK BOIIISSSSS

[@j.ramsey8863]

Esports feels sterile now, all the personality has left or was fired, all that money and no vision.

[@ModsOnSteamDeck]

James was everything

[@circaetusgallicus2312]

GabeN doesn't know how marketing in e-sports work....

[@brownbaby3146]

Yet the e-sports got big because of him 😂

[@komaltheprince]

He is reincarnated after 8 years of low prio. 😂😂 Welcome back sir '2GD' ass.

[@0perativeX]

I don't get it. The world loves ass, yet Gabe fired him for being one. Shit makes no sense man...

[@marvinsons1693]

he can be pretty funny xD

[@iamsubnormal]

pls post in on reddit so it can get some views

[@sa1ky053]

ROFL Kyle got owned.

[@nebbalf]

I tried to get back to watching dota tournaments, but it's been so fucking sanitized by now. No more raunchyness and it's no longer edgy. It's been tailored for a classical TV format, which is not what esports and it's root fanbase are about. Digging their own grave.

[@TehShiaT11einself]

He was hilarous as fuck I still miss him

[@VanishingPoint96]

Great news, he's back!

[@TehShiaT11einself]

@@VanishingPoint96 I know I am watching. TI got saved Q___Q

Rip total biscuit 😢😢

[@m.narcissus1209]

where is the guy now tho?

[@MrBus359]

oh no no I'm sad now

[@BSell-b1q]

the music in the background is really irritating

[@lion52193]

what's the name of the background music?

[@brunolima7402]

2GD was the show.

[@MyReMoX]

How the fuck does Valve let go of such a character

[@Alpenmagier]

better fire slacks.... god this guy is annoying

[@Comix888]

lol, slacks? Please, if James was a God - Slacks would be ameba...

[@Alpenmagier]

?

[@tnightwolf]

fabian vogel even better, get 2GD hosting TI7 and Slacks just doing whatever the fuck he wants to do! That would be epic!

[@svge96]

make purge analyse every game in'n'out, and find enough money to make singsing cast live.

[@cdcb5918]

diabotical didn't make this list

[@Gocet]

Wow this guy is extremely entertaining however very unprofessional lol

[@jemperdiller]

Rich boy got his edgy ass fired.

[@trumplizard6877]

Great host on camera, terrible coworker off camera

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Laughing off camera as well is a terrible thing?

[@macLemon]

on an honest point i would rather have fucking 2gd than the over childish high pitch 12YO slacks
