Genji / dva twotrick stops working after you play vs envy
Is it just me or was it incredibly disrespectful for Goldenboy to ask whether Envy was gonna keep Mickie on? I mean they just won MLG Vegas right after winning in Korea, probably cementing themselves as the best team in the world, and that's the question you ask? Not only that, but you're asking just one of the players on the team, with Mickie standing right there. I mean there's no doubt in my mind that the rest of Envy love Mickie right now, but that's just a question for another time and place.

He was implyed to be just a sub for these 2 tournaments, then would go back to his normal routine.

I mean yes, but what if they didn't plan on keeping him? Or if they weren't sure yet? Putting Taimou on the spot like that right after that win pretty much forces him to say yes, and then you're baiting everyone crazy hard if they can't keep him for whatever reason.
I really hope it's true that Goldenboy confirmed it beforehand, but that didn't seem to be implied at all, both in the way the question was asked and in how Taimou responded. Plus I still think there were better questions to be asked, but that's the only one he went with.

I agree. Just because they won doesn't meant that they need to keep the sub, but asking right after a win is really making it a loaded question.
it's not really that loaded of a question, especially considering its pretty obvious he wasn't about to say no to keeping mickie. plus if he had said that they weren't sure it's not like mickie would be devastated.
i'm happy he asked the question because when mickie was first signed it seemed pretty clear it was only a part-time thing.
Sure it was a question that needed to be answered but I still don't think that was the time or place to ask it. Yeah I guess Mickie wouldn't have been crushed or anything but it still would have been incredibly awkward. Watching him stream it seems like he's built a nice dynamic between the rest of the team. If Taimou had had to say "well we still don't know, we're figuring things out" it would have been uncomfortable for both Goldenboy to follow up, and for Mickie who was I think was literally holding the trophy at the time. Not to mention what the reaction from the audience might have been; I don't know about in-person but I'm pretty sure Mickie won the hearts of everyone in chat about 3 seconds into his first appearance on camera.
There are a billion more appropriate questions to ask the winners of a big tournament. "How are you feeling?" "What were your thoughts going into that last game?" "Was that really as much of a roll as it looked?" Just anything besides "are you still planning to cut Mickie?"
