This kid started a thread on reddit to get viewers because his GF (now ex-GF) wanted to start a STRIP SC2 STREAM for LESSONS. How he did not see this coming, I have no idea and he deserves everything that happened to him.



Just going to reiterate the fact that the OP started a thread looking for viewers to watch his girlfriend (ex) strip, Also if you go through his posts in the thread, they're ridiculously unprofessional and trollworthy. High level troll in the midst.

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

Heh so many lies. In my skype conversation with you you messaged me from her skype after you got into her house I had just found out that you posted on reddit. I didn't know I was doing something so terrible I thought you guys broke up on friday, which technically you did! but I have also heard about some fucked up shit you did. You seem to be enjoying the attention thought but this is really none of anyones business its only between the people involved so I don't want to go and explain myself here on a forum.


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

He doesn't owe shit to anyone.


I'm going to have to disagree

Without fans, a pro is nothing

Without fans, there is not a pro that would be where they are today

It could be argued that pros owe EVERYTHING to fans


At the end of the day, it basically comes down to the fans...

Being good at the game = gets you more fans
Winning championships = gets you more fans

Why do teams sponsor players? So they preform well and promote their products to their fans and fans of whatever the player is participating in.

They are tons of people that are better than some low tier pros but just don't have a large fan base. Why is it that the popular players get teams/sponsorships even though they aren't as skilled as some other people? The fans...


The "oh they don't owe you shit" attitude is the attitude that people take when they take fame for granted and forget that the fans got them where they are today

Am I saying that he has to answer every single little question we have? Of course not. It's fully within his rights to refuse to elucidate the situation. But he's putting his fans in a difficult position when one party presents some hard evidence [skype conversation+eye witnesses is pretty incriminating] and he answers with vague answers.


I bolded everything that didn't make sense in your post.
For starters, how you think pros need fans to be what they are is beyond comprehension.

Edit: I edited leniency because some things do make sense in the end.


skewed perception


Here's how it works from limited perspective:

Pros: motivated and determined player excels in several tournaments -> Team sees potentially good player and recruits him -> Player practices and engages in great battles, improving his skill level and thus win-rate + tournament placements and winnings -> Team and organization gets exposure and sponsors become interested.

Exposure is increased by interest of StarCraft II, of the battles, games and how the player plays, not how he is perceived in his personal life. It has an effect, but it is the equivalent of Weiner showing his crotch to a few mistresses. Some people care and see it as reflective to his career, others don't.

If you don't notice, a player doesn't get a fanbase usually until after his succession: prime example are people like Major who frowned upon until recently at the MLG (and even then).


I don't remember saying that interest of SCII was based on people's personal lives anywhere. If you could point that out it would be helpful.

Also, public image of a celebrity /is/ in fact important. The pro is representing the sponsors to the fans, and by having a negative self image, they are showing the sponsor and their team in a bad light by association. People have been kicked out of teams because of "bad public image". Same reason why you don't want a famous criminal to promote your product.

From a purely financial standpoint, pros that get a lot more views are worth more than pros with less views. Especially in individual leagues. How do people choose what games to watch? They want to watch their favorite pros, not some random person that no one has heard of.

And before calling my view a "skewed perception", please point out where my fallacies are. Respect my opinions as much as I respect yours.[yes, what we are debating are opinions.] Thanks. Merely saying that "No you're wrong this is how it really works" when our views are not mutually exclusive does not mean much.

I like how you're shining the same light on this situation as you would on someone "being a criminal". Made me chuckle.

I don't even know what to post that's "on-topic" anymore. Fucking ESPORTS ruining everything.

That being said, I do not know how this guy who posted on reddit didnt start some shit with him when he started being cheeky around his girlfriend.


If that shit about ret is true than thats even worse rofl.



BTW if Ret really FLEW a random girl over to the netherlands at the prospect of potential sex, somebody should really remind him that he lives in AMSTERDAM where prostitution is LEGAL. Maybe he will save some money.... last time I checked shit went for 50 euros or something like that.

In all reality I could easily expect CatZ could do such a thing. But ret. Really?

idk just seems to me Ret was beyond this kind of stuff. I was a big fan of ret. Not only as a player, but as a person to sorta look up to in way. A model of ideal character. But apperently I was wrong.

Now I understand that there are hormones and such running wild. but I though ret was the kind of guy who auctally respected women in a way. not get drunk and make out with some random girl. All just seems out of character for him. But again I am just a fan and was seeing him with rose colored glasses.

Sorta feels like the people you once looked up to let you down in a ways. Feels personal.

I find it all pretty entertaining, but it's not that i think it is a big deal for ESPORTS or something silly like that...

It is just all around hilarious

Ret said that he thought they broke up. I mean from his point of view he's got someone he likes, who likes him back, who could use a rebound.

Hahaha oh wow.

I saw this on Reddit then thought the (ex)boyfriend was over exaggerating and posted false pictures...
Looks like I was wrong.

I would have NEVER believed girls would fall in groupie status for video games...
Looks like I was wrong.

Welp Ret, only word of advice is... if you're going to go out with someone and fly them from the US to Europe... at least let them pay half the ticket....
Stick a fork in those buns.
