You actually want people to grab their pitchforks right away when somebody BM's on ladder? You're hurting eSports. seems kinda embarassing to me when somebody who is one of the most known people in the community does this.
You know what's embarrassing? Your inability to remember that these professionals are also humans. They aren't anything special, the only thing that's different between the others in this world, is that they are much better at playing a game than others. Don't start drama for no reason.

Most professionals are not only humans, they're also kids.
It's embarassing in a general sense, but the public is also quite young and so childish behaviour is accepted.
I don't think this will change. Teenagers will be teenagers.
It's also typical of the internet, where you don't have any fear of retaliation. You wouldn't go to a playground and call a stranger a "fucking faggot" because you'd get punched in the face. And so internet users understand and accept random aggressivity and profanity. But the excess of it makes it normal, and I believe less meaningful.

I don't think Tarson is a bad guy. He's always very fun to hang out with. Obviously he has a bit of templer, but who does not? It makes him look like a human instead of a machine. When he leaves without a gg on ladder... is it really a behaviour that you would consider as bad?
I really think if you want to 'judge' about a progamer you should consider how he interacts with his fans. Tarson is always glad if he can give you an autograph or shoot a photo with you. Makes me sad people call him out as sore progamer because he ragequits 3% of his games.

Ok, some bm on the ladder? Who cares? Watch a hockey game, that's bm. Or, what about this?+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/rodman-kicks-cameraman.jpg) edit: he kicked the camera man in the groin for filming him when he was on the ground
The community as a whole needs to hit puberty and get some perspective on life before anyone will take "e-sports" seriously.

Bad example, Rodman paid 225 000$ in total and was suspended for 11 games.

Almost all sports have federal authorities (on many different levels), and we have to move in that direction too. Just think about what a french national federation could do ? The money it could re-invest in funding smaller clubs ... It's a long way down the road but for France at least, national recognition (as a sports, not as an entertainment) will have to come from that.
