Calling Milkis "more than just a translator" and saying that he needs to have more journalistic integrity, that is straight up disrespectful to real journalists. Are there any real journalists in ESPORTS? I don't think so, but I could definately be wrong. There's no money (not a lot of money, but a living salary) doing journalism in ESPORTS, and it's a real field with a real education that takes a lot of time and money. So it's just no feasible. Milkis is NOT a journalist, he's a translator. He posted verbatim (albeit translated, so perhaps not completely verbatim, but I digress) "press releases" from PlayXP. It is not his responsibility, nor should it ever be, to seek out information that he is not privy to from EG management. Like he said, he did not have phone numbers, private emails or any way to quickly and accurately contact them. They should PM him on TL or Twitter if they want their side of the story out there.
The only thing he did was relay information that was already out there for all to see to an English scene. The responsibility should, and must, lie with EG in that case in my opinion. It is not reasonable to expect Milkis to adhere to a standard which is completely different from his job description.

It's not my place to go into details, but all I can say is: Karma is a bitch. Keeping quiet when you do it yourself, but crying out when someone does it to you is the very definition of a hypocrite.
I have to trust Rekrul's word here, but he doesn't strike me as someone who would lie about something like that.
I don't have any respect for Coach Lee after this. EG did nothing wrong.

Great post TLO. I agree with it.

I love you TLO. Really, my thoughts exactly.

If you get news and don't want to be held accountable for the news post made, then forward the news you gather to a journalist who IS willing to gather further comments and IS willing to be held accountable for their journalistic integrity. It is something I, and many people have done in the past and should NOT be left out on Team Liquid.
Wait a second, what? How are you going to go on a rant about journalistic integrity and completely ignore the fact that one of the managing directors of EG is also a partner at onemoregame.tv? We get it Zlasher... you're a sycophant that will do just about anything to advance your "career" in e-sports, but to attack Milkis for lacking integrity in a field he has never claimed is low even for you.
|
Boss and TLO.
I am glad that high profile people like you are in this community who dares to take on big companies like EG.
When I saw this Puma to EG thing the first time, I just knew things would get ugly... Hopefully it will all end with a confession from EG.
|
Honestly, I dont really care about this whole EG/Puma drama, I probably dont know the entire story and frankly I just dont care all that much.
But anyone who attacks Milkis, someone who contributes so much to this community, for free (fuck your journalistic standards zlasher) and flames him for the very thing that people should respect him for can go fuck themselves.
And a big lol to anyone expecting him to contact EG before doing his translation... how stupidly ironic is that

Actually, EG are the only ones who don't. Saying its obscene to blame EG for not releasing a statement for 20(?!?!) hours and then attacking milkis for not trying to get EG's side of the story when he actually did try to get their side of the story, now that is unacceptable. Long terrible post with little logic.
EG didn't release a statement for 20 hours? Actually it was 14 hours, 7 of which a sane human being is asleep for. The next 7 hours would have been more improper considering that plans were set to appear on a more public platform AKA WoC.
Want another sports example? Why would EG have felt the need to comment on a playxp article that clearly had a few errors, especially on a player that is still in free agent state, that still is not a member of their organization. Do the Yankees officials ever comment on the player they're about to sign? How about FC Barcelona, or Manchester United? Nobody ever comments on it until the deal is done.
|
Attacking the messenger, EG seems to like the ad hominem kind of way in arguments, that's so classy.
|
I totally disagree with everything you said in the OP, TLO. Sorry I'm not jumping on the bandwagon like everyone else but I think most of you need to open your eyes, it's probably too hard to open your brains.
|
This whole journalistic integrity line of logic could need some clarification now that onemoregame.tv suddenly looks like the EG Media outlet.

so you think it would have been better if some random forum user had posted an inaccurate computer generated translation of the playxp article? Translating has nothing to do with journalism. If you want to blame anyone, go after playxp. But I guess thats too hard to do for both you and for EG while Milkis is a convenient target.

Its well that you blogged in addition to posting in the thread.
I know I gave up on that thread a long time ago.
If they want to play the bad boys, they should at least be able to deal with the criticism, however EG seems to demand high morale standard from everyone but themselves. Its pretty much about this.
They KNOW they were doing something wrong.
Or they are VERY stupid.
Then when people are like "hey you guys!" they are like "common stop hating".
What they did is wrong. It doesn't matter if you don't like coach lee.
A crime is a crime a foul is a foul and approaching a team member without talking to the team is a big foul.
Quite frankly i don't care about it too much but EG's reaction is making me like them less.
A community like starcraft would have reacted better to immediate insincere apologies than lies and delays.

Especially since the news post was not made by EG themselves, on a player that is not yet signed. Also, blaming EG for not making a statement between the hours of 2:30 AM and 4 PM is obscene. Unlike Coach Lee or Europeans, that is not the proper time period for a statement that is to be made by an organization, not by SirScoots via twitter. Why should they make a short statement when a larger medium can be used to make such a statement. In real sports there are press conferences that happen a day or two later, do we bitch about how late the information comes or do we accept that it is the norm to use a larger platform to make an official statement? Would you be using the Blog section on TL to make your statement when you could be making a more public one? I think, and of course this is my opinion as I do not speak for others, that more obscene than any move EG makes is the lack of accountability in esports journalism. Whether someone is a paid journalist or a journalist by profession, if they put the article out than they are accountable for journalistic integrity. In the past, and currently in sports, if someone gets a leak in news they do not immediately write a news post themself with no legitimate statements from all sides. News leakers call up someone they know who is a TRUE JOURNALIST, takes in the information and gathers further comments required before posting out a large news article. If this is the standard in real sports then why can we not hold journalists to the same standard in esports? This is not even going into the fact that we have heard one side of the story which led to a MASSIVE hate bandwagon before anyone allows themself to hear the other side. Even to you TLO, EG's statement is seen as secondary, am I right? What if you had heard EG's side first and then the TSL commentary 24 hours later after a 150 page thread is created praising EG and blasting TSL? What if you had read this statement first?

Coach Lee is a hypocrite and a liar. The way he stole Fruitdealer and Tester from OGS in the past was far worse in terms of deceit, lack of business ethics, and backstabbing.
It's not my place to go into details, but all I can say is: Karma is a bitch. I respect your opinion in the OP but I find trouble agreeing with you when constantly, journalistic integrity is broken. It is a standard that we have had in the past in esports, and have had in real sports, and something we have lost with the growth of Team Liquid's community driven news. My opinion? If you get news and don't want to be held accountable for the news post made, then forward the news you gather to a journalist who IS willing to gather further comments and IS willing to be held accountable for their journalistic integrity. It is something I, and many people have done in the past and should NOT be left out on Team Liquid. Are you really STILL going after Milkis? Are you fucking kidding me? Not attacking Milkis, I was attacking bad journalism, something that I explained has a "fix", in that post. But I suppose you didn't read it. Oh I read it. But don't act for a second like you weren't directing that at the Milkis situation.
yea wtf thats such a cheap way of arguing zlasher
oh let me interpret what you said in the way i want to .. and then be like "ah you idiot didnt even read what I said"

It's ridiculous to pretend there's some kind of journalistic integrity issue here.
A translator translated an article and EG took it personally instead of behaving professionally.
