He messed up; stop trying to defend him. MLG took a stand and made a point - it's completely ridiculous to think that you can represent a company and bad mouth them live on stream.

Sorry, but whether you are getting paid or not, he is a representative for MLG, he has responsibilities. Him being on MLG helps him more than it helps MLG that is for sure. MLG has access to the greatest; | ||

People in the US have rights to, how ground breaking. What you're saying though, is that because the rest of the world outside the US have "rights", it's ok to bad mouth your employer in front of 1000s. That's what you're saying right? | ||

You should read the post I was replying to instead of just blindly replying. It's pretty pointless otherwise. I was making the point that his idea of what 'the real world' is like was nothing more than an untrue excuse. | ||

Since when is making a joke equilevant to badmouthing your employer? Didn't Sundance make a joke about the eagle stream? | ||

I am not saying that it is the best way to handle it; but it most certainly is an option. Personally, i think it sucks but people are being ridiculous arguing like it is completely unjustified | ||

I think that's why people are less serious about it outside of America Where do you get this information from? Almost every company has strict policies, atleast in the beginning of a trial employment in europe | ||

MLG has access to the greatest; JP represents MLG after Dallas he badmouthed MLG in a similar way on SOTG. Why hasn't JP been kicked from MLG? You can't be inconsistent in choices like these. Him being on MLG helps MLG's QL audience more than it helps him btw. | ||

NOTHING would've come off it, nobody would've mentioned it 10mins later if they hadn't gone completely fascist over it. If it was about professionalism, kicking THEIR OWN caster live on the stream is hardly the right thing to do. | ||

Yeah i do know who 2GD is and yeah probably the greatest, but to MLG it isn't a company ruining move. MLG aren't reliant on 2GD (imo) | ||

I'll put the quote back up and bold a specific thing for you: "it's completely ridiculous to THINK that you can represent a company and bad mouth them live on stream." It's not like if that ever happens, a company has to react. But to think that some people think that's ok is just ridiculous, and plus, people who justify it by saying, "what about the time this other guy bad mouthed this company and nothing happened hmmm?". I really don't get it. | ||

MLG aren't reliant on 2GD (imo) They are reliant on customers though, and there are plenty of Quake fans who will be pissed off at this. If anything you can't argue it's a shitty PR move. | ||
