Yep, NA is actually managing to be more toxic than s1mple haha. I'm impressed.

(No but seriously - Freak is a douche. Always struck me as an incredibly unstable and unsympathetic person tbh)

NA has always been more toxic, although it is kind of nice in a weird way to see s1mple being the one getting shittalked after he was so toxic to the rest of EU for so long lol. Being on the other end of things might help him improve his own issues more than anything else.

Or it might make him return to his previous behaviour but I have faith that Liquid management will tame him. He has been suprisingly calm , yes he flinged some shit back but very few would not.

The best way would be if he beats the shit out of all of them on LAN.

I can tell that s1mple really appreciates being flown to LA and given a place to live on top of what is most likely a huge salary that is at least double or triple anything he has ever gotten. Sometimes all it takes to grow up is to be paid like a grown up by an org that believes in you.

I've always liked Thorin except for when he is on a CSGO Major analyst desk. And this proves again that he knows his own limits. He is consistent in his personality and that's why I like him.

I am very disappointed with fREAK but I know here it comes from and like Thorin mentioned, the players are players and will make mistakes.

#news1mple the better man after a few toxic exchanges :p

I think thats a harsh punishment. The whole salary + a seminar is a kind of over-reaction. A statement and like an one hundred dollar donation would be totally fine in my oppinion. I don't think it affected s1mple too much (he is eastern european and I can tell you, we don't give a shit about stuff like this) and was only really build up by Reddit tbh. Yes he deserved a punishment, but this is way too much. Yes it is bad PR for Cloud9 and yes they should be strict on such behaviour, but that could set up a bad mood within the team. As this shows that one little hick-up can break your whole standing in the team.

And no, I am by no means a Freakazoid nor Cloud9 fan (neither one of s1mple as a matter of fact), but this is my neutral point of view.

You are right europeans are made of steel.
American are made of something entirely else.

Proof is on the internet.
