As for the Gosi comments, there were a bunch of miscommunications, hence Torte's post. Don't assume that he joined and insta-left because he thought he was "too good" for the team. Also, really really nice sponsors. Is Gun=tgun? | ||

However, it's a mistake that he can no longer fix. desRow WAS affiliated with the team. ESL is at fault for releasing the prize to him. Even if his intentions were originally questionable, he did turn over the full sum to the players... just not equally. | ||

Way to be a dick. You're not the least bit qualified to talk about LgN's sponsors. As for desrow, let's just hope he cleans up his act. Same with major and sixjax, these teams are giving them a second chance because they recognize their talent so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. | ||

Yeah imgur has no reason to sponsor sc2 and has not yet made an announcement or given lgn any type of comment. Unless they do so its hard to take that sponsorship seriously. And I can bet lgn wont be putting up any type of statement from them in the future as well. | ||

What he did doesn't sound like a mistake at all; it sounds like an attempt at theft that went wrong. If this is all some kind of huge misunderstanding and there's something that can actually defend his character, I'm all ears. But so far, sounds like he tried to steal something, got busted and backpeddled in an extremely odd fashion. | ||

In which case this announcement is fine but dont believe it to be something big when in actuality its probably quite small. Like 90% of other sponsorships? | ||

Baseless statement is baseless. | ||

Why did he take the money in the first place instead of immediately returning it to sender? Just because he no longer has the money doesn't mean he's immune to criticism. You also didn't refute the claim that he "tried to sneak his name on the list". If so, wtF? Maybe the guy he sent $237 is also a jackass, but that doesn't excuse anything. I mean I'm personally open to hearing any more input...but your defense of his character is a pretty weak one. On November 08 2011 06:15 South wrote: What ESL did would qualify as a mistake.

But so far, sounds like he tried to steal something, got busted and backpeddled in an extremely odd fashion. This is it exactly. Responsibility does not shirk like this. "Expected Distribution" would be equally split among all players, instead of giving one guy $237, another $150, and not paying three players. If I owe player A and player B $50 each, and only pay player A $100, it doesn't matter that I overpaid one guy and no longer have it. I still owe player B, it wasn't Player A's responsibility to pay B, it was mine. Even if player A is a jackass and won't split his money, that doesn't change the fact that I still owe player B. It doesn't matter that I gave out what I was supposed to already. Taking all the teams money to distribute when you didn't actually even play, then distributing random amounts to less than half the players, is just irresponsible. desRow might not be a thief, but he did cause the situation that occurred with his irresponsibility. I'm not one to hold a grudge, and desrow has admitted it was a mistake, but if more than half a year afterwards, it is still has not rectified and players are still unpaid, it is very bad for his character image. When you make a mistake, you are also responsible for fixing that mistake. And more than half a year later it hasn't happened yet. Therefore, desRow is at the very least irresponsible, if not the many other things Korok described him as. | ||

And I can bet lgn wont be putting up any type of statement from them in the future as well. Imgur is indeed supporting us significantly and providing jerseys as posted in the announcement. We are not releasing those details to the public. A statement from imgur will be provided soon. Please no trolling thanks  Also as for any concerns about desRow, we have met with him extensively and feel that his concern to refine his attitude and play are enough to give him the opportunity he is working so hard to earn. | ||
