It is ridiculous how some people actually feel sorry for themselves because of what happened to their race or country before they were even alive, boo fucking hoo. Haha, thats what I was thinking. | ||

He shouldn't have denied it. But this amount of attention paid to some misplaced rage? Wrong. EG punishing orb for something he said while not representing them, and in some instances before even working with them? Absolutely ludicrous. I hope people see how far EG is up their own asses. Don't they have a shirt that says "I love bad manners?" Isn't this in line with one of their dumb slogans? Guarantee if the community had reacted positively to his comments EG would have a shirt out the next day "Cannon rush? Dumb Nigger Risk." | ||

Orb is a good caster, what he says in his personal stream has no relevance to esports. This is just a way for all the TL imbeciles to have a big circle jerk and act all self righteous and it is disgusting to try and ruin someone for your own pleasure. Everyone acting all hurt over this needs to grow up. So true. | ||

Players who insult other players while on the ice is fine if its insulting them about the game...but when it goes personal(making fun of someones family players get fined over it) And insults to other players can't even be heard or seen by the audience and they make it a big deal. This community has been in a bubble for a decade(most of esports has) and it's always wanted more exposure and to go more mainstream. But yet they don't want to act proffesional in the eyes of the mainstream. Only if they get caught. In "real professional sports" the things that players say to each other on the field are just as bad as what Orb has said. If they get caught they given a little apology and get fined, and in the end it doesn't mean anything. Orb got caught, orb sort of apologized, orb is going to go on doing what orb does. The only real difference is that in Orb's case people will still hound him about this for ages. I honestly feel sorry for him, he obviously just doesn't know any better. I blame his environment. :/ | ||

I don't think any of the kids online have ever raged that badly at me  Although that may be because I left the bleep thing on... lolTl is white and privileged, check out the 2011 TL census. It doesn't make it clear that it is privileged but people who can afford a computer that plays SC2 and who have internet access are privileged. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=214457 | ||

That's a separate issue that I completely understand as well. But, as an employee of the corporation EG, you cannot conduct yourself in the manner he chose to. It's, simply put, childish. | ||

In the real world you can get punished at your job for something you did outside that job. He always represents EG no matter what he is doing. It makes EG look bad and I would be surprised they don't take any action. | ||

What I'm surprised is that team EG didn't know about this and how he himself defended by not doing any of this nonsense, Not a smart move by orb at all. | ||

If he'd just admitted it was him and apologised profusely instead of acting like the victim this would probably be over already. | ||
