While I cant understand why what I've said would cause you to cease viewership of my events, I apologize if I offended you in any way. I hope you change your mind and continue to watch. Thank you for clarifying. It sounds alot better knowing the intentions behind it. At first it seemed like you were just punishing him. Thinking about it now its a good idea for this. The worst thing you need for your event is this drama following it. | ||

No but has everything to do with the 'community outrage' and Katu as a caster. Really don't you get this? Virgil produces a tournament to entertain the community of starcraft, with this current outbreak of appal originating from 1 individual, it would be unwise to host this event by that individual. Don't rub in an ink stain. As far as insight goes this seems a right choice. Flaring up emotional fans won't do a event's name any good, Katu brought this upon himself, professionaly he made a mistake and sadly (for himself and others) he can't be associated with any production while intentions meet jugdgement. Luckily, as Chill said, Sc2's judgements are often short. In a month we could have a taiwanese corrupt event organiser for the IPL to cover all the needed drama  | ||

Take Katu out for a week, everyone will forget, and then put him back in. This is the smallest deal in the world and doesn't requier a huge damage control campaign. I love how chill can tell someone to do this in full view of them all and it will still work. Welcome to ESPORTS. | ||

Once a stream cheater always a stream cheater in my book. Rainbow seems to have a bunch of fanboyz who can't handle him being made fun of. That being said, Katu pissed off the guys who pay the bills over at Playhem... he should have had more situational awareness. Moral level: I couldn't give a fuck less about some stream cheater being made fun of. Professional level: Katu messed up by angering the boss/angering fans against the brand. You mean Dragon, not Rainbow. Seriously, this thread needs to be closed already, nothing good can come from it. | ||

I don't like how nice your being Virgil. I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop watching everything that I enjoyed watching because of you, and every event I hear you organize for, even the ones that I never actually watched anyway (but you don't know that I didn't watch them, ha!) Hope you step on a crack too. You know, I really didn't want to bring your momma into this, but I just don't approve of you not folding to the mob and | ||

I watched the last game of that Playhem on Cloud Kingdom, and Dragon got.....outplayed. I wouldn't fault an average guy for making fun of Dragon. I was kind of disappointed myself when he played a Del Taco ad then logged after losing. I know I only watched Playhem because Dragon was playing, and I'll probably watch Playhem again if Dragon plays in it again. This is really nothing to lose sleep over, I know Dragon probably won't. He's getting a-walked by a giant colossus ball as we type, and doesn't look half depressed. Everything will be fine. | ||

I want to add that I have never heard him bad mouth or accuse anyone in he's casts before. I see this as a one time misstake, and will keep supporting him for the good work he does for the community... And I do hope all of you putt your pitchforks down, trying to take someone down like this doesnt make you any better IMO. | ||

A bunch probably already thought Katu was a crapbagel from his KSL casts. I vaguely recall him mixing up Squirtle/Ace's names and generally being lackluster. >Well I know for a fact that i wont watch any of his casts anymore. so douchey. Platinum level douchey caster calling out players... His head is really swollen now. displaying attitude over the stream all the time... good riddance. | ||
