Now I completely understand that a minor misunderstanding like this can be the straw that breaks the camels back, especially when someones health is compromised. So all in all I think this might be for the best, Genna can get some well deserved rest and or help. Good luck to everyone involved. | ||

Don't agree with publishing chat-logs without asking though, I'd be pissed about that too even if it was nothing negative (although talking about legal action was a bit over the top). Too bad it came to this seeing as this whole thing seems to be mostly a misunderstanding/miscommunication on both sides (even if the stepping down was due to other factors as well). GL HF yourself, and hopefully it will be less stressful now, not having to deal with daily team affairs on top of all the rest. | ||

This whole situation and the reactions from everyone (people directly involved and the community) is why SC2 is silly. I think the Beiber community has less mindless drama than SC2 and I'd wager it's mostly 12-15 year old girls. | ||

The whole Axiom dropping out of the ATC should have simply been a statement from Axiom saying something like: "We incorrectly assumed that travelling costs would be $1500 per person instead of per team, we should have had further inquiries into the travelling finances but we mistakenly didn't and because of this we are forced to withdraw from the tournament due to budget concerns. We apologise to fans and the organisers of the event but we hope you all understand our situation." Instead, we now get a thread by Genna taking subtle stabs at TaKe and what was clearly a communication error with what TaKe said because he isn't the greatest at English. I am quite sure what TaKe meant was "what you did was wrong and you can get in trouble for it", it wasn't a legal threat. But just to tarnish his reputation she decided to include it in this thread. Congratulations on making TaKe look bad, you're an incredible person. I also love how this whole parting with Axiom blogpost is a "look how great I was for my team, I am so fucking amazing! Axiom is a great team and now TaKe just ruined it" Or at least, that is what I inferred from reading it several times over. As much as I like the Axiom team in terms of their player roster, I can not like their (former) management for pulling crap like this. | ||

Bluntly, I believe the reason SC2 isn't ever going to become really huge is because any reputable business person wants to stay as far away from this fucking nightmare as possible. There is little money to be made (partly because businesses are probably too spooked to invest), and what little money there is is extremely risky to reach for, because you have to deal with God knows what kind of PR issues--the antics that are the daily reality in this scene would get you fired immediately in any other industry. This scene lacks respectability. I wonder what would happen if teams were to hire professional, trained managers and PR people to clean up the scene. Yeah, you would lose the "nerd with a dream starts his own cast/stream/team" element, but I think that would be a small price to pay if the daily landmines planted for businesses to avoid were cleared out and they could invest without fear that some caster or player receiving their funds is going to explode into some extreme diatribe that paints that company in a bad light. | ||

Of course nothing is easier than being a wise guy after the dust has settled, but i really hope that people is going to learn from this matter. Getting emotionally involved in this case was quite possibly the most stupid thing that Genna and TB could have done. Hopefully this will set an example for future disputes. Also i think that people should avoid picking a side in this matter. Obviously this has already happened and numerous people have already proclaimed that they won't follow TB anymore or watch ATC, but honestly people - grow a pair. Nobody is going to benefit from people picking sides in a personal matter that is most likely caused by cultural differences, regarding publishing private conversations. | ||

It's fine for e-sports to toe the line and be a little bit 'off-color' because, lets face it, that's what the typical e-sport demographic does anyway. But this is just embarrassing. I see all these personalities that are clearly very intelligent, dedicated, and so many other great things but they are immature because they allow emotions to dictate actions. I have some anger management issues, and there are some fucking dumb people I work with on a daily basis that I cannot stand but if I were to send a petty e-mail to them I would surely be written up and potentially fired for insubordination and un-professionalism or whatever else they decided to call it. So what do I do when I just cannot take it? I stand up and walk away for 10-15 minutes. Then I come back and I sit down and I ask myself what do I have to do RIGHT NOW to accomplish whatever my ultimate goal. If I need something from someone, I will send a very direct specific e-mail, no need to add any extra comments because that's not going to get things done faster or better. This is just silly. This wouldn't be allowed at most large corporations. I am not saying we need to go corporate, just that they know how to be productive. Lets all grow up please, acting like brats does not get anyone anywhere :-) | ||

After watching state of the game with Genna, I have grown up a big respect to that lady. And she had already mentioned bullshit behind WCS and SC2 scene during that episode! If we want SC2 to grow - we need more transparent folks like Genna, and we do need to get our shit together, no matter who's right in this dispute (imho everyone loses here). | ||

To me, it's really weird that you organize a team league but teams have to fly all the team on their own. You better take out some of the prizemoney to finance this IMO. | ||
