Great castor and commentator. Love his commitment to streaming. He's been on for 10 hours a day playing Starcraft 2 only. So many other personalities are playing other games more. Day 9, Nathanias, Incontrol are spending more time with other games. I'm honestly not that interesting in Dawn of war and some other games.

Darn good player also keeping between tier one master and grandmaster. A good Protoss player to learn from.

Sign me up! I'm a fan.

Some Rotterdam words about China:
Chinese players are playing with 3 second lag!
Chinese players practise hard assassin ours.
JIMBA

When Chinese players qualified for international tournaments, he is the best choice to cast their games.

Regarding RotterdaM's comments during his stream of the global qualifier for Master's Coliseum 6.

I could not clip it due to channel settings, but RotterdaM said on stream people should shut up about the controversy surrounding Gamers8 and just enjoy the tournament. He then threatened to ban people from chat who asked if he meant the connection to Saudi Arabia.

I like RotterdaM, but this makes me feel very uncomfortable.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1884678081 I guess we are talking about 2:09:50 . I think if you wanna write something like that you should be a little more specific and give context. I did not threaten to ban "people" . I spoke to 1 person in particular, who multiple streams in a row came in with the exact same comment. It's a man I've met IRL who interrupted multiple conversations during HSC ( around midnight when he had a few to many beers ) to talk to me about my lord and savior jesus christ and the devil + satan. When this 1 particular individual keep coming in with the same message about sports washing, yes I told him to stop. It was him, not " multiple people" . That was a 3+ hour stream with 1000+ viewers and a grand total of 0 people got banned. I think your message is pretty inaccurate. The only thing I told "people" is to move on at one point because not every single stream needs to be about the same topic, specially not when I'm casting a big online tourney, if I'm laddering it's kind of whatever, but if I'm doing my best to get people excited over a MC Qualifier, or specific players, I don't want it to be about Saudi for 3 hours straight, if that offends you it is what it is mate, but this is my job and I'll go insane if that's all what chat is about for multiple long streams in a row. I didn't threaten to ban people, just 1 guy, i only told people overall to move on and try to enjoy the games, big difference. The Fact that 0 people got banned kinda says it all I think.

I get that people feel conflicted about gamers8, Saudi etc and that's okay, I won't tell people how to feel or think. I also don't think every single stream or every game I play or cast needs to be about this topic now, it may have been the first time you stopped by but this dude came in with the same message 5+ streams in a row, eventually I obviously think it's annoying. I thought your message above was pretty unfair and inaccurate.

Hi RotterdaM, I understand you don't want to talk about Saudi sportswashing and the human rights violations of Saudi Arabia all the time. I respect that. The video statement recently released by the Team Liquid manager gave me a better understanding how difficult the situation is right now for people in the esports business like you.

You are correct in your assumption it was the first time I watched your stream when this person came in with the same message.

The moment that irked me was when you told off what I am pretty sure was a different person in your chat. If I remember correctly, you said "Drop it, I will ban you" when they asked about the topic again because they had missed the first part of your previous speech. Your annoyance in that situation is understandable given the context you described, so I don't view it as a big deal anymore. Thank you for the explanation of the context.
