Well, you don't know what's in the contract either, so why don't you just shut up? The second statement from SixJax explains specific contract conditions that Major broke, some of them even were widely known in TL before (like the swearing at wbc). What more do you need to shut up about how Major isn't at fault here when he clearly is? | ||

MLG should ban or suspend him for that kind of conduct, I'm not sure if there's a three strikes rule and he's on strike one or anything like that. Are you serious? Idra has done far worse things than that and I doubt anyone wants to ban him from any tournament, in fact people encourage him. | ||

The swearing is silly in my eyes, swearing doesn't nessecarly means your angry, or are trying to be mean. I swear all the time, I swear when talking to my teacher and pretty much everyone in my life, so what? It's words and most swear words are very general and not words that points at a person. As an example I might say "Fuck I hate this god damn timing, so fucking hard to hold" and not slander the guy I am playing. The lying about the shirts (really? lying about a shirt? just freaking say you lost them) is kinda bad because even if it's a pretty insignificant lie, lying is just not accepteble when your team needs to be able to take you at your word. Cept you fail to touch upon the whole "shopping for other teams while still on Sixjax". Maybe it's hard to do since the analogy (not your own I know) was tennis which doesn't have any teams. But yeah, shopping for a team when you're under contract, and telling your team that you are despite them reinforcing that you're under contract is probably as bad as the deals that Sixjax made with Korean teams to get a pro house going (which means pretty bad considering they all fell through). | ||

I could be wrong, but I don't believe Idra has received any technical fouls at an MLG. And he may be very BM in-game(maybe the worst) but I've never seen him talk to people like that in real life. | ||

Some people would be grateful to have received such chances at that age. Others ... well, others are like Major. If you want to be a controversial figure in the scene then at least do it with style like IdrA, and don't bite the hand that feeds you. | ||

Name one thing Idra has done that's worse than cheating the rules of a tournament to go jobbing easy competition, then cussing out the people running tournament because you got caught. Go ride the "it all depends on your opinion" train all you like. | ||

Too bad he was such a good player, Sixjax will need to find some talent to fill his shoes. | ||

Please be more informed before posting such post that irritate other informed TL members. Idra is certainly well mannered outside of the game, in fact, all his BMs are to the opponent's race and was never directed to a certain individual. Can you tell me ONE time that idea has done "far worse" things? | ||

Ah well - I'm sure he'll find another team, and another, and another in no time. | ||

As long as players like him have any kind of support or appreciation, some (younger) players will alway think it's acceptable to behave like a total jerk just because you're on the internet and happen to have some success in a game. Some people would be grateful to have received such chances at that age. Others ... well, others are like Major. If you want to be a controversial figure in the scene then at least do it with style like IdrA, and don't bite the hand that feeds you. I think that the main reason people are defending him is that they want to believe this behavior is acceptable. Because many responses in this thread boil down to: "Meh, no biggie. I would have done the same, it seems reasonable." | ||

Yeah, saying 'fuck you' to a player (inside the game (Mana IPL), outside the game (Huk MLG)) doesn't have anything to do with the player... He's just as bm except people laugh and encourage him. Also denying shaking hands with Cruncher at MLG and no-showing to Nerchio in TLOpen. | ||

I pity you sir. | ||

ESPORTS is quickly becoming a real and recognized part of what we traditionally consider to be sports, like basketball or football. But unlike traditional sports, where the practices and acceptable behavior of players has already been defined for us by past generations, we have an opportunity to redefine the standards that players should be held to given the relative new-ness of ESPORTS. I think this is particularly important because ESPORTS is still in the process of gaining legitimacy with mainstream audiences. Major is a part of what people used to think ESPORTS was - just a bunch of kids playing videogames. If we tolerate or encourage childlike behavior, this is what it will continue to be. If we want it to be something more, our perception of this behavior needs to mature. | ||

"WBC was mean first, so it's okay that Major BMed back/cussed at him loudly and in public." "It's just a jersey lol" People are conceding the points that Major acted immature and unprofessionally but still manage to complain that his team didn't reward him with a raise and/or all expenses paid trip to Korea? This kinda thing adds up, and if you're unapologetic, it's not going to make management happy. That folks don't understand this depresses me. | ||

I'm pretty sure that flipping someone off and saying fuck you to someone on the main stage should be punished a lot more than having a dispute at a smaller side stage. Even a die-hard Idra fan would agree that Idra has been more unprofessional at MLG events than Major. | ||
