User was banned for this ? Would I be banned too for showing some support to this guy ? tbh it's the OP who doesn't deserve to belong to this community... but maybe he has some well-placed friends or smth

He was probably banned because the word isn't an acceptable term to use ...


zero content post, just an image macro and a meme. Plus yeah, that kind of language is not generally accepted, and it was the users first post.

All these powers combined = ban

I agree with this. It felt a bit weird today during their GSL cast they only mentioned how great the tournament was. Made me like them a bit less. (just from 100% likable to 99%)
When being in the frontline and all eyes pointed at you already because you have been drinking with that gus guy, you could at least say something like: we can't go in details but unfortunately some things went really wrong too and we feel sorry for people who were treated badly and hope everything will be solved.

I think it's really important to them as professionals that they represent the organizations they work with in the most positive light possible. It's not really their place to use the platform GOM gives them to trash talk someone else they've done work for, even if (as in this case) the criticism is entirely valid. We have to remember that Tasteless and Artosis aren't just dudes we all love that log on and cast games, they're employees of large organizations and depend on their excellent reputations as professionals that do their best for whoever hires them for their livelihood.

State of the game would probably be a better place for Dan to say his piece on the whole thing rather than on the GSL stage, seeing as they're paid to be prim and proper on that.

I agree, Tastosis shouldn't talk about that even or if they did they shouldn't talk about those problems since it's not the place to talk about that kind of problems.

SOTG would be the right choice.

The PPSL had a huge chance to promote the SEA E-Sports community. However, the bottom line is that Gus Ledesma, the so called mastermind behind the PPSL event was completely unqualified to run such an event. From what I have gathered, Gus Ledesma ruined what could have been SEA's break out event into the global E-Sports scene (Tastosis, top Koreans). That in my book is ruining/killing E-Sports in the SEA region. I guarantee you that IGN is never going to want to deal with the SEA region ever again nor other organizations. I sincerely hope that this isn't the case.

Man I can't believe this guy was actually trusted with all of this stuff. I gotta think that this isn't his first time being a deceptive asshole. How in the hell did he get to be in charge of this event? This guy needs to be banned from eSports. The horrible behavior and lack of character that he's displayed throughout this whole situation is despicable. It makes me sad not only as a StarCraft 2 fan but as a human that this guy even exists.

Thanks for poining that out, I guess that's the case. They probably even have a contract that doesn't allow them to.
Still for me personally, pretending bad stuff didn't happen makes professionals really look bad. Keep being positive about the organisation you work for even if they did something wrong never feels right. Honesty goes a long way, so even when you talk about bad stuff, in the end people might respect your organisation even more because you don't cover stuff up.

Like when GOM quickly removed the part of Jinro saying he could hear casters in the booth, that's bad. How IPL quickly reacted, that's good.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Keep in mind that the problem was PPSL was basically Gus himself. The other people involved, the audience, the players, they didn't do anything wrong. They can't just say "Wow that event was awful" on air at GSL, that'd be incredibly rude and disrespectful to all the innocent bystanders in some way involved in the tourny. Like people have said, if Artosis gets on SotG, that's a better place to talk about it because he can explain what was actually wrong without just giving a big, blanket statement that the tournament was bad.
Artosis: "You need to hold my hand." Tasteless: "I'm very good at that."

Yes I guess.
For the record I don't mean for them saying the tournament was bad. And if they didn't say anything about it I could understand it too.

But what I didn't like was them saying it was great and keep hyping it while not saying, unfortunately some things went wrong too but we hope these will be solved. After they would have done that I wouldn't mind how much they kept hyping it up. It's the "we only bring the positive side of the story" what I didn't like.

They acted like professionals. It's not their place to talk about problems with the tournament, especially at a job that has no association with it.

I was hoping so hard that this event would bring light to how great the SEA community is and how we can also host world class events on par with Europe or America instead this happens and now the SEA E-sports scene as deth said 'has been put back years'.

I am just so disappointed and I hope SEA will get another chance to host a great event properly this time.
