Are you serious?

Orb. I'm disgusted by your behaviour and the way you conduct yourself. I feel sorry for EG, seeing how I used to consider them being a highly professional entity but obviously I was proven wrong.

lolol... the guy was angry and said some stuff he shouldn't say.

It's not the end of the world guys, i bet people complaining here must BM the hell out of BNET and now are here like the world ended for Orb...

I saw him rage in his stream and i don't think a guy like orb would say he would smoke a bowl...

Wouldn't be a problem if it was just bm-ing lol. It's RACISM, do you know the difference between the two ? it changes everything.

The people who are attacking him are most likely against racism and his extremely unprofessional raging.

He also lied to EG and said he didn't say all those things even tho there is clear evidence he did.

Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck if orb BMs on ladder.

About his casting I do not care much for it, too much yelling throughout every game even in breaks in action, makes it tiring to listen to for extended periods. It also irks me the way he criticizes play as if he is an absolute authority on the matter - I have zero problems with casters calling out mistakes, but the way he does it rubs me wrong.


This goes beyond BM. Some of the stuff he said was seriously sick, the kind of stuff a sociopath would say.


Quite an overstatement.. Calling him a sociopath is going a little far, don't you think?

Taken from dictonary.com

Sociopath:
noun Psychiatry .
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

"people like that I would love to just watch that guy burn, like honestly just be in the most amount of pain for hours and hours. I would revel in that." -orb

You make that judgement.

You did read his quotes, right? "Intellectualism" isn't exactly what comes to mind.


Not just that. I guess he dont even know what "Intellectualism" means, because otherwise he would not have used it (hint: orb is quite the opposite, and no, that does not mean dumb).

edit

I saw him rage in his stream and i don't think a guy like orb would say he would smoke a bowl...


Dont know what you try to say with that, but he already admitted that it was him (-> reddit) and not a friend.

I'm absolutely serious. If this was any other master player, there wouldn't be any commotion. It's because of his fame as a caster that people are making a big deal about this.

There is no other caster who can deliver his lines like orb. He's obviously educated. A few angry comments doesn't change that.

I can't play 2 ladder games without being raged, flamed and called racist names. Isn't it ironic that the SAME COMMUNITY is crucifying orb. I'd bet my last dollar half the people attacking him do much, MUCH worse.

Lol don't be ridicolous..

Ron Artest now Metta World Peace hit guys in front of thousands and he wasn't banned from the NBA, in fact he went from Indiana to arguably the biggest team in the NBA, to the Lakers. Same when Arenas took guns to locker room in Washington, he is now in Orlando.

So people can brawl, take guns, take doping in all sports and not get banned for life and ORB a CASTER for eSports should be banned because he said some nasty words out of anger in a ladder game?? and you can't even prove it was him, since it is online...

People are stupid or just want to bash everytime....

That's why a good thread, with good news or annoucement will always have less posts then a drama thread or if it doesn't it's because the good thread is now infested with some stupid drama...

No, he should not be banned for life. Of course not. But he should be "jugded" the same way for example Katu was. Btw, again, you dont need to prove anything, because he said that he did it.

No shit. He's representing the SC2 community (and EG as a whole) while he's casting tournaments, and throwing out racist comments and saying twisted crap like people have already posted in this thread isn't good publicity for anyone. Random people on the ladder doing this kind of thing have no responsibility related to SC2 and aren't representing a professional team, nor are they casting tournaments watched by thousands of people.

Seeing how you're dumber than I orginally thought, I will explain why you're wrong.

First; an educated man wouldn't fall so low to call people the n-word on the ladder.

Second; seeing how Orb has done casting for NASL there is no longer any difference between his behaviour in his personal life and his professional life. He chose to become a public figure and should be judged as one.

Third; you said you can't play 2 ladder games without being flamed and therefore that would justify you acting like a douchebag to others? If someone jumps off the brooklyn bridge does that mean you have to do it aswell? You're an idiot.

Lack of professionalism - never insult the viewers is the number 1 rule of any successful show surely? Making a thread asking for critique is highly useful - but one should just ignore the daft responses rather than reply to them.

Well, there's the racist name-calling and then there's the lying and the covering-up. While the first one shows off some pretty hideous immaturity, the second part is when it turns really ugly. I don't see a way out of this for EG, it has to be 'bye-bye baby'!

BM on ladder is childish, but probably not terribly damaging. However, the psychopathic rant on stream plus the pathetic lies about a friend using his account (Seriously? Even middle-school kids know that's a weak-ass excuse) is probably enough grounds to throw Orb out of the eSports community for at least a little while.

I really hope for EG that they fire orb because otherwise their reputation will be very damaged and though some of you might hate EG it's a very bad thing for esports as it's one of the if not the most popular foreign team. Would be sad if everything they did to build up a good reputation so far would be wasted by a kid's actions.

i find that his fake enthusiasm is really annoying, also the fact that he is almost 24 years old and still a virgin really makes me sad.
