Wow NASL is taking Terry's comments a bit too seriously :/

Understandably, they weren't in good taste and even borderline racial, but relegating him to purely translating is an overreaction.

Didn't know calling a black person black was racism nowadays.

If he said the n-word I would understand (and only barely).

terry called a black man black

Well he was clearly uncomfortable, and I would be too.

Being called out for who I am isn't what I would want to do there as a SC2 fan. Like that doesn't help grow the scene and it doesn't help make the minority SC2 fans go to other events.

This reminds me of the time I made a remark that MaximusBlack was the first black person to ever be on the main stage of a Starcraft 2 event as a player.

Then some dude called me racist.

The dude was so amazingly uncomfortable on a live feed and really wasn't working out, but this is an amazing overreaction. People get offended over everything.

I understand Terry messed up and was trying to be funny. Maybe he was trying to take a misinformed page out of Gretorp's book, but I feel comments like that sets everyone who works to legitimize esports back a few years.

This is lame, I'm disappointed in NASL and Bliz... I'm half black and don't give a shit about what he said, I have plenty of asian friends with english as their second language, sometimes when they try to say something it doesn't quite translate perfectly and they sound out of line or too blunt because they don't understand the intricacies of the language.
Cut Terry a break, this is ridiculous.

He basically pointed out that one of the few black people was "darker".

No, he said he was interviewing a black guy to bring some diversity to things.

Terry's comment wasn't even funny/witty tho. Sucks to get fired over a stupid comment like that but there was no reason to make a deal out of his race.

No, it has nothing to do who win. This kind of cheese is just silly and should out of this game, because the randomness is too high. Buildorder-win needs much much lesser value in rts games.

There is NOTHING random about not scouting and playing too predictably greedy.
