Regarding us Reid Melton being RCG 2020 English caster, following "Harassment/Abuse in StarCraft 2" thread here on tl.net

1st of all, I do take rumors and public topics seriously when they can impact my team or my own reputation. For the reason I take rumors seriously, I allowed myself an extended timeout to let everyone come down. For the reason I do care, I believe I should respond properly.

2nd, I do believe Rapid did as a complete morron.

Before making a proper decision, I have had conversations with other guys and girls (who's identities is my sole liberty not to say), and the sole verdict is that Rapid deserves punishment. Yet, making your life's dumbest actions known to thousands of people who know you is a very good punishment alone.

Perhaps, what he does deserve best is a good (perhaps face damaging) talk with a girl's dad or elder brother.

However, most community members who speak from tl.net tribune are bloodthirsty. Admins of some groups do follow public opinion. Some of these, for example, made Rapid's casting career further impossible. I won't immediately follow. I find it quite an Orwell's crime thought police response, black-and-white of whether one is guilty or not, and thus, is free to go, or should be electric chaired immediately. No defense, no jury, no probation.

Luckily enough, court responses are still weighted to a level of guilt more than to a public noise. One left free, another gets a sentence. Yet, a third one can get a suspended sentence. This means one is free to go, subject to a further breach of probation conditions will get him barred for an extended term. For this reason, I won't expel Rapid from the tournament cast. I leave a chance to regain credibility. As a probation condition, Rapid is coming to Russia at his own expense.

I do respect that it may be troublesome watching Rapid's stream for someone. I find it a solid decision to make a choice of two English streams. Yet, I urge you to respect the depth of my pockets and cover the cost difference. Rapid's flight tickets are $400, and he has a three-year Russian visa done. Check the air flight fare of the one you offer, add ~$200 gross visa expenses, less $400 and you will get the part due from you.


i support the decision made by you here Rus_Brain, for the general public i'd also like to elaborate a bit on why i do:

When i first read the thread about the sexual misconduct by Rapid and others, my first intention was to say "let us wait until Rapid posts his side of the story before we make up our mind; at that point it was barely 72 hours or so after the thread was opened. I usually like to make up my own mind after i know all the relevant facts.

At this point, obviously also because apparently rapid did not deny the allegations when he talked to you, it seems obvious he did those things. From what i understood, he sent unsolicited Picks of his Dick to multiple women and tried to "flirt" with them in a way that can only be described as very inappropriate and very creepy.

To be clear, condemn that harshly, as every reasonable person would do. Another thing i observed when interacting in the above linked thread is that your statement

However, most community members who speak from tl.net tribune are bloodthirsty. Admins of some groups do follow public opinion. Some of these, for example, made Rapid's casting career further impossible. I won't immediately follow. I find it quite an Orwell's crime thought police response, black-and-white of whether one is guilty or not, and thus, is free to go, or should be electric chaired immediately. No defense, no jury, no probation.


is very true. A lot a people actually did not care to ask if there was a second side of the story when it was still a very reasonable thing to ask and the same people do not care to wage their understandable outrage against the damage that the punishment asked by them means to a person who earns his livelyhood by casting.

Im was no friend of Rapid before these facts became known or anything and i don't have a too good opinion about him know, but i strongly believe the "punishment" should be reasonable in relation to the offense. Rapids reputation isalready very tarnished by this point, it will take him a long time to get up his feet in this job again. You withdrew the privilege of covering his expenditures but don't exclude him directly. Strikes me as a fair decision.

Thats just my very personal opinion on the matter.
Broodwar for life!

Oh no... well, I can take your spot for you if you want. =P

That's unfortunate. Will there be another qualifier or top 3 goes instead?

I was invited to replace Ty2, however after some consideration I decided that I will not go. With the current plans to play in December, I think it is too risky for me to be travelling to Russia given the current covid19 situation. Thanks anyway, and GL

Dear Players and Fans,

This has been a long-lasting discussion with all pros and cons carefully analyzed, however, I'd like to save most of your time, and I will be short.

It is very uncertain to host Offline Grand Final in Moscow during December 5~6 without the risk of having half of the participants left without entry permission.

My team of admins and I are converting RCG 2020 into a pure online tournament.
I beg your pardon for not being able to fulfill part of this year's promise, yet, the circumstances are beyond my control and by far exceed my reserves.

Mr. Dawid ZZZero Pazdzior will help me with online stuff, being the best online tournament host out there.

Further updates pending.

Cheers,
RB

P.S. I've spoken to ca DragOn, and he will still play, considering this is an online event now.

The introvertic part of me is happy that i don't need to move to outside world, but i'm also really sad that i won't be able to see everyone face to face, which is why LAN events are so unique.

Sincere thanks to Rus Brain for the continuous support and interest in StarCraft scene.
As for us players and viewers, let's make our best to promote Russian Cyber Games as much as possible.
