I dont see how promoting cheating and cheating are suddenly mutually exclusive. Please, leap to more conclusions. Also, please associate promoting a product for your sponsor is in any way comparable to throwing a game. You realize, Blizzard has one of these keyboards made specifically for Starcraft 2 as well right? It's not like the biggest deal, was it a stupid decision to promote this way by both SteelSeries and Grubby? Probably. Is it in any way comparable with cheating or match fixing? Fuck no, get your fanaticism out of here. | ||

Its pretty clear that grubby only cares about money and not about the integrity of the game. people saying this only affects lower league players a) dont really understand how much this could be exploited and b) dont realise that theres a whole mass of lower league players and this could potentially ruin the game. If you ahve an opponent on ladder using this they have a huge unfair advantage thats against the rules, and grubby is the one who took money to promote it. thats dirty as fuck lol this is almost as dramatic as the thread title. | ||

No matter how you see it, even in custom games vs friends, using macros is pure and simple cheating. Of course it's not new and these products exist for a long time and have already been advertized specifically for sc2 but that doesn't make it fine. | ||

But that's it. It just makes him look back, I don't really judge farther than that. | ||

AGAIN I feel the need to tell you that you DO NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE COMMERCIAL DOWN without effectively ruining his career. Think before you post. | ||

Also, I don't think the argue " You can use it if you are not in a tournament" This is bullshit, I surely don't want the guy that play against me on Bnet use something like this. Its just not fair, and take away alot of game. I am not going to buy anymore steelseries products in the future. | ||

Think before you post. AND? If he has a sponsor that say: make ad for cheating or you loose your contract He ruining his career in the sec he agreed. You have allays a choice. its not like they pull out a gun and force him to do it. They gave him money and he decide on his own, with his free will, to take this money! | ||

If he did he would've agreed to the TOS. For something as shady as this the responsibility is his to go back and check that it's allowed. | ||

I am not going to buy anymore steelseries products in the future. who?  just wondering since im quite sure alot of people (celberitys included) would do alot for money. Take for example, the thread recently posted in General Forums, he sold his Kindey for $2000. Just saying, if you were offered alot of money to do very little, wouldnt you take it? | ||

For me the right title would be Grubby promotes Keyboards with macro in sc2, is it right? Then we can discuss about macros in competitive play, casual play, the ToS, Blizzard, etc. This title is clearly unfair for him. | ||
