Honestly I don't mind the word at all, but I am not a native speaker and I wouldn't be surprised if Blizz will tell Neeb to not use the word on camera in the future. Having lost some family members to cancer, I'd prefer if they came up with a different word. But I'm not big on regulating this kind of thing, just let them say what they want. | ||

Honestly I don't mind the word at all, but I am not a native speaker and I wouldn't be surprised if Blizz will tell Neeb to not use the word on camera in the future. The gaming community has largely filtered "rape" out of its vocabulary and I'd like to see it do the same with "cancer". I wouldn't fault (read fine) him for it but if I were Blizzard I'd ask him not to. Especially when one of the largest contributors to SC2 esports actually has cancer. Its just in poor taste | ||

The word is thrown around a lot in esport, he should not get into any trouble, but should pick another word next time. This is WCS Global FInals, not dinner with noregret in Seoul. He just won the series, was excited. Yesterday I saw Redeye call out a start-up for using "Expert" in their website, wordplay is getting to this guy  | ||

It's not the best choice of words. It is used as a gameplay term in the gaming community however and in the end Neeb is just an 18 year old kid so lets not make a fuss about this | ||
