Of course I do.

If I held a tournament for California residents only, would you be upset that the people of Texes were being discriminated against?
If I held a tournament for UC Berkeley students only, would you be upset that Stanford students were being discriminated against?
You're grasping at straws.

Hey everybody!
I'm Jesse, and I'm part of the marketing team with Ting. If anyone has any questions about Ting, feel free to ask away or send me an email (jesse@ting.com).
We're really excited to support SC2 and the eSports scene! A few of us at Ting are diehard StarCraft 2 fans, and feel this is the perfect partnership for everybody involved. I'm interested to see who gets those 7 spots...gonna be a tight race!

It's really, REALLY not. Are the commonwealth games racist? Is the Paralympics racist? Is the Ryder Cup racist? No, but they are events that require prerequisites for entry based on either nationality or physical ability. Are you as angry about the Finnish Starcraft League? or do you just simply have an axe to grind with TB? It’s fine to have an opinion, but the reasons for yours makes you look very foolish.

I don't think you understand my point at all but tbh apparently my views are wrong and as people are asking for me to get banned (I lol'd please keep it up) I'll just shut up and let you enjoy what you apparently think of as positive as other views are apparently not wanted.

I guess that using graphic that optically enlarge Northern America (While South America is larger in real life) is racist too? :D

That TB picture perfectly encapsulates how I feel about Lorch's insistence that this event is racist.

Let's not make too big a deal out of it. Lorch can have his opinion, you may think he's wrong, but he has reasons for his opinion.
