Have you read any of the allegations? He literally did send dick pics to people.

Well I can guarantee you that isn't true. I'm half trolling in the thread anyway. I do agree he should've made a statement, but I do feel like people are very quick to keep him cancelled as well, as far as I know he didnt lay his hands on anybody. He still offended them with his words and he's definitely a creep/pervert, but I think he should be allowed back. Maybe he can come out and make a statement that he learned from his mistakes.

Zzzero I will not in good conscience recommend any players to participate in anymore BSL events, nor recommend donating until Rapid is fully removed from BSL.
Pretty much exactly this, nobody is trying "CANCEL" Rapid. People are trying to hold him accountable for his actions. I personally think it's abhorrent to have someone like Rapid to cast your event. Guy was grooming underage girls, and people still want to defend him.
Yikes man big yikes.

This is pretty much what I think as well. Let’s say for arguments sake he never technically broke the law with his actions. Still, why would you want to be associated with someone whose ethics and morals are so deranged? Imagine if this rapid stuff went unchecked or ignored, what would have happened?

Dude is a horrible caster anyway, should never been brought back.

It s a disgrace that he is allowed to be back in the scene in anyway, let alone the biggest tournament of the year.
Rus_brain this is not an attack on you or the support you give to the scene. It s entirely understandable you didn't know about all rapid s issues. And now he s there so you have to live with it this once. However this needs to be a one off, you and ZZZero need to be clear about it. Once again it s ok you didn't know, I didn't know the full extent either. But rapid cannot be allowed back into the scene after this. You should make that statement, it will not look poorly on you.
We already have a small community we cannot in good conscience have those types of people be given a platform like this

nice "drama" guys

Btw, Great tournament so far, gentlemen
Keep up the good work!

How is this even happening? He was possibly the worst caster we've ever had. I wasn't even sure he played the game at all the last time he casted. The most charitable way to explain it was like someone who played SC2 had some how accidently found himself casting the wrong game and didn't know who to tell (and made no effort to leave or actually play the game).
Then it came out he wasn't just a shitty caster, but a horrible human, sending dick pics to underage girls and leveraging his underserved position for all sorts of similar things. AND NOW HE IS BACK!?
I stopped watching his casting entirely last time before all his personal behavior came to light, and I'm going to do it again.

You know full well what I mean by that. Ban him from future events unless he can clear his name, it s that simple. Not doing so puts a stain on all the good things you did before, don't tarnish your legacy for the guy.
Same for you ZZZero. This isn't some minor incident.
Edit: ad hominem on qikz is pathetic, not only does it look like you re not 100% right there but even if qikz had massive issues 2 wrongs do not make a right. You should be better than this. Are you gonna do that on every one here? Good luck with that

Very disappointing at a first glance, after Rapid's history in League, SC2, and BW. Wonder how many knew of this in advance. It certainly wasn't being advertised that he'd be one of the main casters.
Also noticing that the "defense" going on here by Rus_Brain (idk if we should consider him the actual organiser of the event, considering the funding/location/posts in this thread?) are mostly just wannabe-edgy "no you" replies, instead of actually owning up and defending the choice to bring back Rapid.
Especially interesting considering ZZZero's statement to exclude him until his name would be cleared. As has been pointed out, any such clearup has atleast not been something which the community has seen in public.
