They're still people, I don't see why SC2 progamers should pave the way for reformation of English vernacular. | ||

Once you've sit in the front row next to the glass at a hockey game, you'll know that people typing to others over the internet is really really mild. Mind you, it's still pretty classless, and the difference between sc2 and hockey is if you blast a racial slur to another player during a hockey game, you get your head punched in. There's no risk of that in sc2, so people run rampant. Look at deezer. | ||

I guess the point that I'm trying to make here is that trash talk happens obviously, but it should be restricted in some cases, such as racial slurs in public chats. In my opinion, Spades should have been penalized in some way, like not being able to participate in the next playhem forum. But it is up to the tournament admins to make these judgements. Trash talk like that is not acceptable in a tournament setting, and that's really what this thread is about. The fine line between the "it's a game" argument and "it's a professional esport" really depends on the setting. You wouldn't penalize a guy trash talking his friends or his opponents in a casual soccer league, but you would penalize a professional player in the world cup. It all comes down to setting. | ||

When a businessman curses or uses a racial slur at his place of work, it's at the very least looked down upon in the community and at most warrants disciplinary action. I don't think that, just because it's the internet, professionals are licensed to say whatever they want. On forums dedicated to business and the like, people are very wary of posting anything offensive. You don't post racial slurs on your facebook because it will hurt your chances in a professional career. So it's not like "hurr durr it's the internet what are you gonna do" is a valid argument in this case. This isn't 4chan guys, this is a platform for esports in the United States, and pro players just shouldn't be using such foul language all the time if there is to be more legitimacy surrounding esports. End of story. | ||

" I don't see why SC2 progamers should pave the way for reformation of English vernacular."??? Are you serious? It's called being politically correct. All professional must be such or face the consequences. | ||

People can be professional and still trash talk each other, there is a line to draw at some point...physical threats and racial slurs at the bare minimum. Anything said outside of league play should be handled by managers of both teams along with the players like the spades and hwangsin incident. I'm pretty sure most leagues already have rules in place for professionalism atleast in-game and some extent out of the game and on the stage. Also, I'm sticking to my guns to say that there are always going to be minor incidents with people regretting what they said and apologizing. There is no actual way to proactively stop people from expressing there emotions, people are human and get frustrated and angry. I feel like I'm going in circles though, so I'm just going to let the thread die unless their is an actual full blown discussion. | ||

If Spades said things like that in a real sport he would be banned and black listed for life and rightly so. you have absolutely no clue. if this would be the case countless football players would have been banned and blacklisted for insulting each other on the pitch. paulo di canio even got away showing the fascist salute several times during league games without any major consequences. | ||
