Destiny fan boys at it again and yet another derailed thread. This is the 4th thread now. Enough is enough. What's really disgrace is circus freaks like Destiny getting even the slightest attention. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the newer posters are in fact destiny himself.

For those who live in a basement, it might come to a surprise, but in the real world it's a normal procedure for professional companies to disassociate themselves from anyone that repetitively throws racial slurs and is unapologetic about it. Destiny can be himself, a child trapped in a man’s body, all he wants inside his own little basement but once he is representing a company, it becomes an entirely a different ball game. He crossed the line and faced the consequences. There is nothing abnormal about it and it’s not even worth a discussion.

The amount of irrational fan boys in this thread is quite disturbing. What’s more disturbing is how these irrational fan boys are trying to bring down other players with them and even trying to boycott the tournament. Get out and quit derailing this thread. This tournament was getting good amount of attention even before they made the announcement to hire Destiny. We get it, you are butthurt that your obnoxious diamond level player won’t be casting this tournament. Quit hurting others that had nothing to do with the decision.

I’m loving the fact that even screddit which is full of blind destiny fanboys think it was the right decision and has absolutely no problem with the decision.

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/tj8nk/gigabyte_doesnt_want_destiny_to_cast_for_them_due/

Also quit nitpicking on guys like Incontrol or Idra. They have done a whole lot more for this community than that nobody who only got famous for his Jerry Springer antics and calling people niggers.

It’s already an excruciating pain watching someone bad as Destiny playing but casting? That’s even worse. He looks like he hasn’t seen sun in 10 years. Watching one of his interviews in MLG, he looked timid, insecure, and looked very unstable with abnormal behaviors like jaw moving side to side while talking. I’m not asking for Artosis or day9 level commentator all the time but my goodness, don’t try to turn this into some freak show.


Are you serious dude? You complain that Destiny supporters derailed this thread.. but then you go on to call someone a freak show, an insecure human being, etc. etc.

I agreed with some of your points until you obnoxiously put someone down for absolutely no reason.

This thread is ridiculous. GIGABYTE made the correct decision. Even if Destiny is not a racist the fact that things he has said in the past, things which tens of thousands of people are now aware of and can associate with Destiny would have also been associated with GIGABYTE. How many other worldwide and leading companies do you see endorsing people who have been known to spout racial slurs when something doesn't go their own way.

Everyone shut the fuck up and just enjoy the event and support GIGABYTE seeing as they do a shitload for eSports.

how much time did you spend writing that post ? You surely seems to care about that ''obnoxious diamond level player" a lot.

Well, I am a certified Destiny fanboy, but I still think this tournament will be good. Vote with your wallet and your feet, certainly, but by jumping on this drama bandwagon and getting vocal we are violating two things that should be taboos in esports right now. Firstly increasing sponsor insecurity...people could really use sponsorships from these big companies. Secondly, putting casters on the pedestal. I'm aware Destiny is a player too, but in this tournament he was only supposed to be casting some games. Laughing off the tournament as shit tier because they chose to withdraw one good caster is a huge insult to the guys that are supposed to be the real stars of the event.

I'm not watching this. If they revoke having Destiny as a caster because a tiny group of so-called 'white knights' complained about stuff he said on stream which he subsequentially renounced because it was causing him so much drama and negativity then I will revoke my time that I would have spent watching this event.

The haters didn't even give Destiny a chance to turn over a new leaf, they just went straight over in an attempt to shit all over his reputation.

We should start reflecting whether we really want to embroil the sponsors in our internal e-dramas, if you don't want the sponsors to respond/react to them.

I hope the GESL does well, but I personally will not be supporting/watching it due to Destiny no longer casting. I have no ill will towards GIGABYTE or the tournament organizers, but I do not agree with the actions they have taken.
