OMFG Frodan you can't talk about somebody's race on stream! NASL doesn't endorse his comments. | ||

The SC2 community is predominately represented by "white people" and those of Asian descent and it's been like that since the beginning. And so to help with this problem he picked out the only black guy in the audience, who seemed to be sitting by himself, and pointed out that he was "darker" than everyone else. "Hey, is that a fire? I wonder what will happen if I toss in this kerosene?!?" | ||

I don't see the point on firing Terry for that, but well, wherever you go do what you see, right ? Because of self-flagelating people like Fission shitting up the internet community with their butthurt. | ||

Terry should get a warning, not out of internship. Also: Scarlett is the man, Jaedong is the girl =p Yeah, there was no drama over it until NASL just goes up and fires someone, which is pretty much making a political statement which perpetuates this stupid notion of esports viewers being old women who can only watch G rated content without hawking like crows at the thought of political incorrectness. | ||

Says something a bit off cuff* "WE'RE SORRY. TERRY DOES NOT ENDORSE NASL OR BLIZZARD. HE'S FIRED. CYA LATER, TERRY" I kinda doubt NASL was explicitly looking for someone awkward to do interviews. After they had him, it turned out he was super awkward so they played it off how they could, but that perceived downside make it so when they had to weigh what to do with him after his comments they weren't very motivated to keep him. Just my guess. | ||

Get the fuck out of starcraft. We don't need pricks with sticks shoved up their asses running to sponsors at every perceived "offense". You are a parasite to this community.
