seems wrong to me, they still deserve their flag, i dont think russians was able to vote if they wanted a war.
just my opinion They can always vote by protesting and revolting. This has been the case many times in history. Show nested quote +On March 03 2022 05:42 Dewaltoss wrote:
I don't know if it's right time or place for such conversation but i'm gonna throw my 2 cents right here right now. As a russian civilian man i can't even belive in what's happening in the real life right now. Putin is a crazy guy, his propaganda and police army in Russia is too big for guys like me to go outside and screaming "Stop war", because tomorrow i will probably be in jail. But i'm planning to do it anyway in future days. Everything is going on in Ukraine right now is terrible, and i never cried in my life as much as i did last few days. I feel so sorry and so frustrated for people who feel all the horrors of war right now, but i can't really do anything with that. So i really hope everyone who seeing this messege will understand my position in terms of what's happening.
Now you can ban me or any other russian players from BSL and i wont even be angry because of that but you should understand that we are just regular people without big money or audience to really change anything right now. All i khow right now, i don't wan't to represent Russia as a country in future BSL events if it's possible. That was Dewalt's post on the topic and it should directly answer your comment on protesting. To further add, I've personally disagreed with almost every single war, coup, assassination, bombing, etc. that the United States has conducted in my lifetime. I have protested, I've ran for office, and I've voted, yet it continues to this day. Blaming and condemning all Russians for the acts of their government is wrong, just as it'd be wrong to blame and condemn all Americans for the atrocities we commit around the world. That shouldn't be a controversial stance or hot take. It should be a "DUH, thanks Captain Obvious" take. Our community is too small to be punishing players whom are in countries that are doing things they have no control over. Hell, even if our community was huge, we shouldn't be punishing them. Anyways, back to the event. It should be a fun! I hope everyone has a good time with it. GL everyone~
Thanks reposting Dewalt's comments. Completely off topic, but where in the US did you run for office? Come to North Florida and I'll help you run!

If you would have read the thread where Dewalt posted, I agreed that the common russian civilian is kind of a victim of this war as well and they should not be punished. I have just explained to WhistleR why the russian flags are missing. Nothing more to this
But nice Whataboutism you got there bro :D

not even here can I take refuge from all this political bullshit
totalitarian thinking seriously sucks...

Will there be a cast in Spanish for this event, or only in English?
Thank you Zzzero for all your effort in keeping the scene alive with these great tournaments.

sorry if i hurt ur feelings bro
just saying that lot of shit happen during this years and the people is not to blame. The example i made is to point out how ridiculous it seems to remove a flag over a conflict chosen by the interest of a few.
As far as i know the flag is to state ur country of origin but if u choose not to show it for personal reasons its ok.
I think the exact same way as G5 or Whistler.
ps: looking foward to see this event!

Is the Russian flag not allowed anymore?
P.S. i just read the conversation above. IMO we should not delve into politics and let people use their flag. 140mln ppl are not responsible for the actions of their government and somehow you decide it's okay to ban the flag. Not cool.
|
I understand that the people are not responsible, that's why I didn't ban anyone from russia and also I'm not doing any announcements or posts about this matter, cuz I believe it's not worthy to talk about it - I've made only one comment in tl.net after dewalt answer, however I've been talking with few russian players privately, with some of them for a long time, and I know their point of view on this matter.
I think focusing on the event is a better thing to do, because as you can see, Dewalt is participating from day 1.
|
I just hate the way the world is splitting over someone else's interests. We are all gamers and we've gathered to enjoy the game that we love. This approach does not help anyone.
A better approach would be for the Russian players (if they agree to) to acknowledge their stance against the war and wave their flag as a symbol against the tyranny of their government. People should not be ashamed of their legacy because of a crazy leader.
however - great event!
I can't wait to see more and watch the recording from yesterday because I was not online..
gl to all !

Am i stupid or something?
"Live Event" says Day 3 but there is no talk about Day 2 (edit: there is but subtle) nor Day 3 here.. O.o
*Heading off to investigate*
A few minutes laterrr.....
Investigation completed.. Day 2 has been played and Day 3 starts in 23 hours so "Live Event" shouldnt display Day 3...yet.
Day 2: https://trovo.live/video/ltv-103006221_103006221_387702297507152437
