I think it would be smart to join the first season next year, not that many tournaments going on at the start of the year. HOTS might be out by then though, that could change things. | ||

The only people really mass-mailing EG's sponsors over the Stephano incident were /r/ShitRedditSays, who are basically a group of radical feminists that feel it is their role to police the content on Reddit. They also played a role in getting Destiny kicked out of ROOT. At least /r/Starcraft actually bans messages that urge users to message sponsors en masse. SRS would be respectable if their mods weren't so heavy-handed, unreasonable, and trigger-happy. People have called TL a strict place in terms of moderation but honestly, this place has nothing on SRS. They ban people from their subreddit just for not agreeing with their sometimes jaded opinions on matters and accuse them of being apologists. And despite this they still feel it's justified to mass-mail sponsors over something that ticks them off and go around spreading false accusations. False accusations of Stephano being a pedophile or of /r/starcraft being pedophile apologists. I agree that some of the comments were a bit out of hand on the original Stephano thread but to call it apologism is just pure BS. For example, this comment from the ShitRedditSays thread: Look: I like what you guys do here. I'm subbed to this subreddit because of how shitty the rest of reddit is. I think what Stephano said is disgusting and wrong and shitty. And I think he should be punished. But I don't think you guys need to punish the entire sc2 community for what one person said. There are ways to fuck over Stephano for what he said without fucking over esports, and emailing sponsors isn't one of them. You undermine your moral highground when you do try to punish a community of several hundred thousand for the actions of one. Please reconsider. The top response was an image macro that read "You're trying to get someone fired because they're a child rapist! I implore you to reconsider!" Other people who replied to this comment expressed butthurt over the idea that /r/starcraft could 'defend pedophiles', completely neglecting the fact that Stephano's comment on stream was a joke and by abused he probably meant "beat in a game" anyway. Worse, one of the moderators (Dworkin) bans this guy for making a perfectly reasonable comment. Even worse than that, a guy suggests a highly upvoted opinion to just straight up ban anybody from SRS that posts in /r/Starcraft. Yes, SRS even practices the idea of using a ban-bot to autoban people who post in subreddits they don't like. | ||

There should be a counterweight, every time there is a drama. People should send emails to sponsors and tell them how glad they are, that they sponsor that and that player and they should continue to do so. | ||

EG said they'd issue a detailed statement soon, I hope soon is SOON cause I'm starting to worry about him, he's pulling out of so much shit recently+all the drama around him recently =( Is this forreal? Im not sure how much damage /Srs did but I hope the sponsors realize that it doesn't matter what those guys think. They never bought merchandise or supported sc2 anyways. I'm certainly not going to stop supporting esports/EG and the majority won't stop either. | ||

EG has provided a quick statement about the matter: Evil Geniuses will be release a comprehensive statement on the matter shortly. We are extremely grateful that the event organizers were so understanding given the proximity to the event. We hope their tournament is a success, and we look forward to cheering on Marcus "ThorZaIN" Eklof who will still be competing. -- Cody Conners, General Manager, Evil Geniuses Sucks for Asus ROG, was really looking forward to seeing Stephano in this. I hope this isn't because of this recent 'drama' :\ | ||

But like you, I hope it wasn't due to the drama either. | ||

Razers point of view is probably very similar to most big sponsors, so to think they will disassociate themselves so easily without knowing that the people emailing them could be from an outside source(SRS) is extremely frustrating. Hope EGs sponsors are smart enough to realise where the hate is coming from. | ||

We haven't seen him playing in a tournament for so long, and I hoped a win in this tournament would have been enough to make people forget about the incident.. Now I hope it won't go further and stop the player with the most potential on earth ! | ||

They should all be thrown into a pit of spikes regardless. Also Stephano is the most awesome person in SC2. I hope he doesn't give up his "don't give a fuck" attitude because these cunts are hounding him <3 you Ilyes. | ||

I really feel for him, must be tough having so many haters and jealous people whose only fun in life is trashing successful people. Just remember stephano, there are A LOT more fans than haters. | ||
