Are still better than the nonsense going on in the LOL thread. Neither of them have ever attempted to cheat or split prize money. I fail to see your point. | ||

It took the StarCraft scene on one hell (pun intended) of a ride. So I guess they don't understand yet the implications of such an act. LoL scene may be growing but in some ways it is still 'immature'. Actually, as a former BW fan and current LoL fan, I was pretty shocked at the news. I'm pretty sure the majority of fans agree with the punishment. I still miss BW and would hate to see another game go down the same way. | ||

Bad examples but Shit like this happened in sc2 as well, and alot worse other problems. But nobody is denigrating the sc2 fans and the scene the way you do to lol fans over this situation. I said idra and destiny because they are a good example of how much people in sc2 community they actually care about competitive spirit as opposed to lulz and entertainment. Even if it's better than what goes on in lol, what does it matter? Immature adult who is maturer than a child is still an immature adult. | ||

I guess he means just for showing off as dicks (destiny mostly i guess) and their inmature and unprofessional behavior. But that's nothing compared to split prize or match fixing. | ||

I like LOL as a whole and the community is over all ok.. However, the response to the cheating, specifically in the MLG thread on TL, is nothing to be proud of. It is not the whole community, but the members that are freaking out are pretty dumb. | ||

Idra it known for talking trash about players he considers bad(deserved or not), the community is also super touchy about trash talking, almost to a fault. A little fun back and forth between competing players is not a bad thing. Also, Idra is very funny when he casting or now shows about SC2, if you like dry humor. And I agree that none of that even comes close to splitting prize money. That is so beyond unprofessional it is mind boggling. | ||

There were people who thought the teams were punished for playing a game of ARAM, which was bad but nowhere near as bad as match fixing. It would've been like two players SCV rushing into each other. I haven't seen anyone who thought the punishment was unfit after hearing the real reason. | ||

Isn't the ARAM more like the naniwa probe pull? forgive me if this isn't correct though as I am a LoL noob | ||

But it was the prize splitting that caused the real problem. They agreed to split the prize money, so a bigger payday for everyone. That's totally ok, right? Right???(crickets) | ||

I know, i deserve a ban for this, but it was painful and heartbreaking for a e-sport fan like me. There are some nice and mature enough, but hell, reading that had been like going 10 years ago into the past. I felt sad for the players/teams who try to take it seriously, even if i don't, because with that viewerbase, that won't happen. Emotions are running high, people are shocked. As a result people stop censoring themselves and say dumb shit. Best to ignore. | ||

Doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't bring him up when it comes to stuff like that. It's a piss poor example. | ||
