He's man enough to admit it, and man enough to commentate in front of thousands of people




How does this help his career? Nice try totally evading the subject. Who cares what he admits, admitting things doesn't help him become a better and more successful player.

Last time I checked Ben was human, like made out of flesh etc.
Being a better and more successful player isn't the be all and end all, even their image as a Starcraft player is based on more than just there in game performance.

You cannot be serious, you're either incredibly ignorant, dumb as shit or just one those 'LOL mental illness' people that think it can be fixed with some strong words and a slap on the back. How does one 'get his shit together' with a mental illness, it's not like getting a paracetamol down your throat and sleeping it off, jesus.

Seriously hope bans come down on this thread.

My post was discussing his career.

If you want to discuss Ben as a person then yes we can say things like, he is brave to admit it publically, we hope he gets the needed support to deal with his illness, etc.

However, that is another topic entirely and not the one I was adressing.

I'd pick you up/drop you off from any airport in the USA. As long as you give me an autograph and don't mind Rebecca Black playing the whole time. ♥

Full of insults, sidesteps the argument completely, adds nothing to the thread whatsoever.

It would be preferable for the bans to come down on people like you if the quality of TL threads is to improve.

It's true he doesn't perform, and he's not really marketable in his current state. But can you name off anyone on EG that is, other than Idra and Incontrol?(Yes there ARE other SC2 players on EG)

How did he "sidestep" your argument? Do you even have an argument?
Mental illnesses and traumas aren't that simple, as the other guy said, you can't just tell yourself to "get your shit together" and fix it. Of course it's not helping his career at all, but your posts are quite ignorant...

You miss the point, a person and their career are inextricably linked, Idra is a great player, but you have to mention his bad manner in the same breath.
Besides, your statement amounts to "if he plays no games, he will not be successful", which is not a useful statement, solving the issue of why he is not playing games would be useful, but your suggestion amounts to "get his shit together", which is vacuous.
This makes your claim to higher knowledge silly, since I may as well offer the advice to any other player: "you should improve, if you want to get better"

Also high fives everyone, he got 90 days.

Please stop pulling the internet enforcer routine. Your statement was of the typically coarse kind that I've come to know all too well here and people called you out on it. That's it. Scurry along now.

Just because you know who they are does not mean they're good or marketable. Only Idra and Incontrol's been that.

Nothing at all you can really do about that, it's not his fault. Don't know if it could've been helped but his trip should've been planned earlier or better.
