I would absolutely love to have his job. But the thing is if i somehow would get it and be representing the EG and most of all SC community, i would never in my life even consider throwing racist comments at ppl and saying the things he did.. that is just not normal for a guy in his position. | ||

"nigger" and "faggot" are just words that have (sadly) been incorporated into the english language as common swear words, and I'll bet my balls that Orb had no racist intentions. Not this discussion again.... It's a bad thing to say, end of story. | ||

If he chooses to use words, instead of slamming his face into a wall, let that be his way to vent. He obviously doesn't mean to be racist, it's everyone taking his rage out of context that is going to crucify him in every single discussion about this. I've moderated his stream for a long time. Yeah he rages. He uses vulgarity. He's passionate about the game and ladder can be frustrating. Is everyone that's on the witch hunt to destroy orb a perfect human being? No. Maybe the bigger issue here is rage itself. It goes across all competitive gaming. People yell, scream, break stuff, or whatever. Perhaps that's a bigger issue to talk about, rather than trying to destroy someone's career in a gaming community that they are very passionate about. The point is there is no context in which that word should ever be said, so it can't be taken out of context in the first place. | ||

Yeah and my ancestors were nazis. Does that make me a fashist? You are not your ancestors stop trying to get sympathy for things that happened before you lived. Thats just stupid. Edit: Just to clarify i think what orb did and how he handled this situation is just as stupid at people saying this is about racism. | ||

His past BM and the whole racism controversy weren't part of his casts, right? Just previous games that he played while streaming (or privately, whatever). Obviously, I totally get why people are going to stop supporting orb as a person- the things that have apparently been said seem to be incredibly terrible. But relating to this actual thread (caster feedback), I think he's doing an excellent job during his commentating. (In the same way that- interestingly enough- IdrA is known for being BM in games but is actually a really good analytical caster.) I think orb's enthusiastic, has good game knowledge and analysis, and can keep up with the action very easily. OrbControl is one of my favorite caster pairs, and orb seems to be incredibly professional while he casts... so that's my particular feedback on his casting. He's one of my favorite commentators to listen to, even if he has done stupid shit in the past (arguably unforgivable to many people). As far as what he's said outside of casting is concerned... I hope he doesn't make any slip-ups during a cast. For his sake. TL;DR - Possibly scummy person. Still a really really good caster (which is what he asked about). Better not fuck up during his casts (as we've already called out some commentators for being too racist, etc.). Hoping for the best. | ||
