A lo3 at a barcraft isn't a professional environment so yeah, their actions were perfectly ok. What do you see when you walk into a bar at midnight? The same fucking thing. Get off your high horse. | ||

These are supposedly the leaders of our community, and if that is the case then I am very disappointed. It sickens me to think that these people have followers who blindly endorse their bad behavior and fail to see the negative light being shined on our community as a result. | ||

By that logic no one would be able to have fun -EVER- and just mess around since you should always be held to a high standard. Stop crying.

I went from watching the GSL finals, one of the proudest moments in eSports to date, with a large appreciative crowd and a grateful set of casters and players, to a collection of drunk men dropping f-bombs in their stupors. It's pretty shameful, especially when djWheat spends an enormous amount of time arguing that he isn't "ruining" eSports, to see his involvement in such a disgusting excuse of a show. Slasher has never in my opinion had anything worth listening to, and he just continues to escape on the "I'm drunk and talking the loudest, so I must be right and everyone just hates me" train. At a time when SC2 is on the verge of becoming a widely broadcast, and potentially even televised event, it is just tremendously upsetting to see these sad demonstrations of behavior are leading the way. You're all grown men on Live on Three, maybe it's time you start acting like it. Speaking of highlighting the community at its worst... You tuned into a 3am (12 pst) broadcast from a bar where 2 men were getting their heads shaved over a bet. Sorry they didn't deliver on maturity that nobody ever guaranteed to you. If the success of e-sports hinges upon these 3 men at this specific moment in time, then so be it. If the cost of e-sports succeeding is not being able to enjoy oneself, then I'm happy to see it 'fail.' For somebody so apparently on the straight-and-narrow, somebody so mature, you certainly don't seem to understand that whether we're pillars of the community or simple fans, we're all people, and we all like to have a good time. Nobody who isn't caring and passionate cares about the success or failure of e-sports. So instead of being a jerkoff because they loosen up and have fun on an atypical friday BARCRAFT show, try to recognize that they are as human as you and I, and that Slasher being loud and drunk won't bring the institution of e-sports crashing down around us. If you can't enjoy it, fine. Don't tune in. You can bastardize them for ruining e-sports when you've done half as much for half as long as the folks on that stage. | ||

They are making esports become an extremely social, and party-atmosphered topic, which is by far the best thing we can be doing right now to spread the word. Keep up the good work, @onemoregame! Ya I really do love the live events they have been doing. It is such a relaxed atmosphere and it really just seems like it is 3 guys getting together to argue about esports/video games and whatever else... probably because that is exactly what it is. In any event, I love it. Good stuff imo! Edit: On October 22 2011 16:50 Go1den wrote: Agreed 100%.

It sickens me to think that these people have followers who blindly endorse their bad behavior and fail to see the negative light being shined on our community as a result. Honestly, I just feel that comments like these are just looking to criticize something. In other words, I don't doubt that you truly have the thoughts you are mentioning, but it almost seems artificial based on everyone wanting esports to grow, which leads to people calling others out if they act "unprofessional." I think the reality is that this was clearly meant to just be a fun time, and anyone can understand that. If you are worried that this will "make esports look bad" then I have to disagree. People are able to distinguish a international tournament, and how it produces its show, and separate it from some guys getting drunk and yelling at each other. I think a fair comparison would be comparing some random sports after party being streamed/filmed. Would you personally judge a sport based on how some people party and have fun? I just can't imagine that someone wouldn't be able to separate the two events in their mind. Hopefully what I'm trying to say is clear. My mind is a bit clouded now. | ||

People think everything is unprofessional or hurting ESPORTS and it's silly. I don't mind them drinking, I'm just saying Fuck Slasher, is all.i agree, but people are acting like it was in the middle of blizzcon being shoved down their throat between a starcraft game, when they could have just clicked EXIT, as it was just a minor stream from a club. | ||

it's a stream from a bar, labeled friday night barcraft, nothing forcing you to watch it, its not killing esports, so get off your high horses and stop criticizing people for doing nothing wrong for all the people that enjoyed it and laughed as much as i did when slasher looked like a bafoon with half his hair, goodnight. | ||

When you go and you are being streamed to so many people in a community, it becomes different. | ||

So you're basically agreeing that they are behaving poorly, but you're fine with that because their past "deeds" permit them to behave like immature frat boys on a stream that has bigger implications outside of 3 people being drunk at a bar? Also, please don't call me a jerkoff for having basic moral standards. | ||
