guys,
it is two fairly young, not particularly mature people living and working closely with each other 24/7. They are going to have fights. It isn't that big of a deal.

Like, when you are married, isn't it normal to fight every once in a while? Why wouldn't teammates, who are too immature to get married to begin with and spend more time together than married usually do, not also get in fights sometimes? It is just a fact of human interaction: you rub each other the wrong way sometimes.

I agree with you, but will say the following:

I think a lot of the emotion behind the posts and why this has stirred up a lot of drama is that people care about the team/players. That's not really a bad thing. These people are serious fans, and a lot of the early LoL is pretty grass roots. All the older teams started with streaming with very little following, and garnered a huge fan base. People caring about a team is a good thing for everyone involved, even if some of the posts are overly negative. It's only natural to see these many posts about it, and you can't really fault them. I think about real world sports fans, and see an equivalent here with it.

yeah, whatever, nerds like to see people spitting on each other, just like everyone else. not much else to it, they get to rub one out to the frission of social friction without consequences and satisfy their desire to be invested in their hobby at the same time, it's like playing with house money, really.

Indeed. His stream is hilarious, and I kinda wished he started streaming earlier. Then there would be more Dignitas fans to share in the pain.

Over 7000 comments on the future of tsm discussion thread. Might be a record. Also all the dyrus fanboys defending him is hilarious

Why is GD talking about some team drama that should stay between the team and their sponsors+owners?

No one's judgement matters except those directly involved. The community trying to stick its head into this is simply causing more trouble.

lol @everyone calling oddone a pussy for not saying stuff. he is just older and has been on the internet long enough to not give a shit about flame wars so he just stays out of it.

its not like reginald is just bullying them for fun, (apparently people here havin flashbacks though) he is probably frustrated at Dyrus' performance and is going about it in a super passive-agressive way to bait dyrus to get into an argument about it because he probably feels too uncomfortable to do it straight up because he's not 100% sure its dyrus' fault

I'd find healthier to simply say oneself "well I don't belong here anymore" once you're out, than repeating "I don't belong here anyway" while you're in it. It makes you focus on where you think you should be, rather than why you're not there yet (ya, QQ thread reputation and stuff, expressing frustration over a game doesn't mean you think you belong to an higher tier though).

i dont belong here comes with the assumption that you are better than everyone around your level which is only true if you focus on playing better and not on trying to get out of said elo so its not a good method at all

I think we can all agree that Regi has been very successfull with his team for a very good part due to him, and that he's terrible at PR and player management.

Seriously, when you have an argument, act like an adult and talk it out with just the team, no cameras, no intrusion. Then again, we know that Reginald has had attitude issues since S1, so this doesn't really surprise me.

Reddit has definitely overreacted again though, even if the outcome might be good (Regi having to apologize to the community).

Dyrus not having a good time, annoyed because regi is chatting on skype extremely loudly. Regi won't listen to dyrus to be quieter. Dyrus blows up, regi blows up, drama ensues.

Dyrus was playing (you could call it training I presume) and Regi was having a loud Skype conversation. Dyrus gets annoyed and after a long time shouts at Regi to shut up. Regi goes bananas, brings out his high school vocabulary and starts laying in on Dyrus. Dyrus makes an apology video to the entire LoL community, he's sorry that he made Regi mad. Regi still is a bit of a dick to Dyrus. /r/lol explodes in love for Dyrus and hate for Regi, thousands of comments are generated and Regi needs to do some damage control asap. So he makes a video about how being both boss and player is difficult and that he has anger management issues.

That's afaik the story until now.
