You can't really say that his private life should be staying private. "Famous" people (obviously I am using that term loosely as no SC2 player is really "famous" in north america) do not have the same expectation of privacy, at least in NA, as do the everyday person. There are no laws or anything regarding the matter.

The fact is that when you have many people who are your fans, or look up to you, then your personal behavior is subject to more scrutiny simply because you have more people watching what you do. The same is true for any sports star or actor, anything "personal" they do that reflects badly upon them is quite often found out by paparazzi and sold. Gossip, drama, etc is a good business.

Ret is by no means obliged to tell us anything but we absolutely have the right to be judgemental, especially if we are only given one side of a story that paints ret in a bad light that he refuses to refute. His image is a.) something people look up to, admire, or want to watch and b.) reflective of him, TeamLiquid, and all the according sponsors. That is what happens when you are someone with at least some importance. I am sorely disappointed that he didn't realize this and approach this situation much better, and I know that I am not alone. Something like this reflects badly upon his professional team and that is why it is subject to more scrutiny. If it didn't effect others then yes it wouldn't be an issue. But he is a representative of a brand and therefore yes I am influenced by this. I know that I am much less likely to want to watch his games for at least the short term simply because I wouldn't like the player.

I really cannot even pity the boyfriend in this case. He already tried to make that strip-tease Starcraft bs then took his GF straight into the lion's den. I am not going to attempt to comment on this guy because I do not know him or what really happened but based on the info given by him in his reddit he was pretty much letting his GF flaunt around all weekend without taking any action (whether it be confronting the guys attempting to hit on her, or to tell her to wake the fuck up or it's over). When things are slipping away you must do SOMETHING or you are screwed. Now granted you may have not known your GF was capable of blatantly disrespecting you so you tried to give her the benefit of the doubt for a while, but still, come on!

And can you really blame Ret? You are a progamer at a huge event where now tons of fan girls are attending. Any man who has groupies who has access to the groupies will usually try to get with the groupies, it's just the law of fame. And for you all to assume that "Ret knew she had a bf!" or that to him she is merely some groupie who said "oh hey I hear you have pretty good zerg wanna fuck?" is pretty dumb. What probably happened is this girl was showing obvious interest in Ret and probably talked and got to know each other better then told him her and her BF are done. Now, knowing the BF is still around would I get involved with this girl? Well that depends on 1. how hot is she and 2. how dangerous is he (LOL). But whatever, you cannot blame Ret, if he likes her and she likes him they are both free to do whatever they want and that includes spending 1k on a plane ticket.

If I was the ex-bf would I have posted that shit online in an attempt for revenge? No I would probably wait around for as long as it takes to assemble a plan to have his legs broken, but that's just me and I'd never get in this situation anyways. But I can't really blame him. Such is life and whatever makes u feel better

Cliffs notes:
1. EX-Boyfriend was either a naive retard or a pussy at MLG.
2. You cannot blame Ret for swooping up a groupie fresh on the market
3. Most girls are sluts like men too, except as in this case some don't hide it as well as others.

P.S. Who cares if she made out with a newbie like Catz, obviously she has to work her way up the ladder to go from Gold to Masters with a real progamer, Liquid`Ret!

I really enjoy this type of stuff because you find out so much about people (the ones involved, in particular) that you otherwise can only speculate. Actions speak loudly, though.

That aside, no one is owed any explanation, and the way you guys are swarming Ret or the OP like you're entitled to answers is a bit sick. Leave them to it. The OP is an idiot for posting anything publicly about this in the first place, and it definitely doesn't mean someone like Ret or Catz owes you guys public explanations or anything, regardless of the foolishness of their actions.

And yet here you are doing this, I find this whole thing pretty funny. This is now pretty much what you will be known for now.

1: Yes, famous people have been victims of paparazzis and lack of privacy for years. But isn't this pretty fucking horrible? I mean, in some instances you have dumb celebrities who want fame for the sake of being famous - and in that case they did give up their privacy. But for most celebrities, they are celebrities through being exceptionally good at something - and the fame and thus lack of privacy is something of a negative, unintended consequence. In fact, you might say that this sort of, gossipy behaviour, is in fact discouraging exceptionalism. And that, to me, is bad.

2: Just because something is good business, does not mean it should be encouraged. Weapons, prostitution and drugs make up three of the biggest industries in the world. While at least two out of these three might give you entertainment, I think we can largely agree that they contribute more bad than good.

3: The reason why you cannot be judgemental is that you are judging based on incomplete information. So far you have heard the story of one disgruntled part whom is obviously really biased, one part has not posted anything, and the third part has posted that not everything posted is true, but that he feels this is within his private sphere and that it is none of your concern. That should end it - it's none of your concern. Ret is a sc2 player, judge him based on that.

I think there's a difference between europe and usa in this aspect though, you have far more people who are famous for being famous, and with the exception of england, the right to privacy is far more respected in europe - unless someone's private actions are actually in direct conflict with their public persona, then I don't see how it matters at all.

I was a fan of ret since BW but this is a bit too much...



If you've done nothing wrong then why not explain yourself? You owe it to your fans...
