They dont show you a video of how to aim at someones head from a clocktower and pull the trigger What's your point here? If I show you how to pull the trigger on a fake target-dummy deer, am I condoning killing deer? I'm merely the instructor doing my job, same with Grubby & SteelSeries doing their job showing you how to use their product. Your actually arguing a company as big as SteelSeries condones cheating. Blizzard isn't all clean on this either as people have pointed out, same with Razer. They aren't morons guys, can we be realistic? It would be nice if the title was something neutral so we could shift the conversation to something productive and focused instead of pointing the finger at Grubby. *Edit* - Personally, I hate that any of these functions even exist on any of the modern keyboards they are pitching it cheapens RTS and true skill. Exactly the same thing as the use of performance enhancing drugs. | ||

Of course there is ways to obfuscate those patterns by using a variable delay but I doubt any keyboard does this (hacks might do it though) | ||

(2) What's the point in macroing this stuff anyway? It doesn't give you an unfair advantage. (3) Why hate on Grubby for explaining the features of a keyboard created by his sponsor? (4) Macros can easily have random delay. (5) You can do this without the stupid keyboard and people have since beta. So many people are uppity here. | ||

It can EASILY give you an unfair advantage especially at high levels. 3. Yea, we shouldn't bash Grubby at all for this, its his responsibility to do this for his sponsors, but his sponsors responsibility for not doing something this retarded. 4. Umm, not sure what you're talking about, there are several ways of making macros, but as far as I know, the software used for the keyboard doesn't have delay commands. 5. Duh. | ||

I wonder how I can use it at my next tournament. I'm 100% convinced that pros would find great ways to use macros at tournament play if it was allowed, despite all the guys who said that it is not that good. Wonder how much use IdrA could draw from this. So Grubby either knew that this is illegal or would try to use it. | ||

On one hand, even if they didn't like what they were doing, they could face severe punishment for disobeying their superiors. A soldier can't offend his commander, and Grubby can't offend his sponsor. On the other hand, it's not guaranteed that the soldiers didn't enjoy performing atrocities. Just like it's not guaranteed that Grubby actually had qualms with doing this commercial. If you ask me, the BOOM SANDWICH seemed overly enthused. So unless you can read Grubby's mind, there's little point in arguing here. There's no point in trying to figure out the foot soldier. All you can conclude is SteelSeries made a terrible mistake, which is the equivalent of agreeing the heads of Nazy Germany were bad people. | ||

The disclaimer is wrong - they're illegal in any play of starcraft 2, whether it's a competitive tournament, ladder, campaign, whatever. Celebrities don't make any commercial anyone offers to pay them for... They're expected to have some editorial discretion and not endorse things that are harmful, illegal, unethical, etc. Fans (rightly) hold it against them when they do otherwise, and that's why professional athletes and so forth are usually so careful about it. Basically this. I'm quite stunned really, moreso of Grubby than Steelseries. Atleast I can say I am not certain if Steelseries knows this is considered cheating(they probably do) but Grubby surely knows that.

Doing a commercial is different than actually being caught cheating. I highly doubt this will impact Grubby's reputation at all. | ||

The other big problem here is that Blizzard probably don't give a fuck if people cheat a little or gain unfair advantages as long as they make money from it. | ||
