He went on to update his Twitter with opinions on the subject which influenced this thread from a subjective and uninformed point of view. It's not just someone posting on a forum thread, it's much more than that. I hope you understand that. There could have been hundreds of members on TL who understand Korean who could have translated the same article. There's no need for journalism when everyone is translating the same block of text posted by someone in Korea. If Milkis didn't translate it, someone else would have, and he would have made the same opinionated comments. He's a translator, god forbid he has a fucking opinion | ||

Milkis translates article, people (including Milkis) ask for EG's response on twitter, EG keeps quiet for a whole day (aside from INcontroL trolling with silly tweets), then EG blames Milkis for faulty journalism. /facepalm. | ||

Translator's are supposed to translate. What does AG expect milkis to do? His point was that Milkis posted a one sided news article that kicked off a huge unnecessary shitstorm, and just like EG needs to be held accountable for their actions, Milkis needs to be held accountable for not getting both sides of the story to present a fair article. He started asking for EG's side well after this whole controversy started up. | ||

Maybe they could have put things to together if Puma had made a decision and told EG that he was 100% signing with them, but he HADN'T. | ||

A translation or post from a TL staff member can cause a shit-ton of bad publicity for a team and could easily be completely false, and there's no accountability for that. It's a murky area for sure. TL staff and members have translated rumors from BW that were potentially very damaging (and many ended up being true). The most prominent was when rekrul pretty much broke the match fixing scandal, and then when at least one player was falsely accused. The entire list was translated, and both the korean and foreign communities had to deal with the consequences of the false accusation. | ||
