Was Katu's argument that he didn't realize how badly people reacted to it? I just saw a bit, and all he did was giggle and mention how hilarious the chat was. He didn't seem to realize there was anything but a chat going on.

regarding the 3rd CC... isn't it acceptable that he messed up his build which caused a mineral pile up? preparing for reactor hellion and then being unable to switch the factory will almost always cause a huge macro botch up similar to toss/zerg going to expand and finding an engineering bay blocking their natural.

if you've got >400 minerals and not enough infrastructure, placing another CC is a risky but effective solution - if it works.

then with the CC he didn't have minerals to support reactor hellions, so he got tech lab.

you can't exactly get extra queens, depots, pylons or gateways etc - because using 4-5 scv's to simultaneously build drops you even further behind in economy.

"I'm pretty proud of myself I've got to say" *laughing hysterically*
Pretty much sums it all up pretty much.
I guess Katu did not think through why he would put down a third CC if he knew an all-in was coming.
The thing that bugs me the most is the fact that he seems to revel in the fact that he acts like an asshole. Good on you Katu, I once liked you but if you are that keen to be the villain, then I will hate you.

He continued insisting people couldn't understand that he was just trolling dragon throughout the rest of the cast from what I heard.

Honestly, it was blown way out of proportion but I think it happened because Katu didn't just immediately accept responsibility for saying something stupid. Had he immediately apologized sincerely for insulting Dragon all night and admitted to being serious (which he clearly was, since he had a lot of emotion in his voice when trashing Dragon). For some reason Katu just hates Dragon and he used his casting pedastal to take a shot at him. He messed up once big time when he was in Werra and was kicked because of it. Had Katu not said completely false info like he was kicked out of SlayerS, etc. it wouldn't be a big deal.

He brought this upon himself cause he couldn't set his ego aside to admit he said something stupid. That said, if he ever comes out and admits he wasn't just "trolling", I see no reason why everyone else shouldn't accept his apology.

I heard it live and I though Katu was serious, he seemed to go on and on about it for 5-10 minutes.... then suddenly he flipped and was SO sorry.

It was weird.

He really just hurt himself though, I'm not mad at him.

No damage done, other than to Katu himself. Dragon comes off looking extremely popular and with an invite to IPL4.... so huge win for him.

We are pissed about that? Now I didn't watch all of it. just the first game on bel'shir beach (and like 5 min after that), but thats just a bit of trash talk going on. I mean if this was a major tournament I could see why this thread got 24 pages, but it's just a daily. Yes he kinda accussed him of stream cheating, but reading some of this thread makes it sound like he commited something really terrible. Yes it's unprofessional, and given how well mannered the starcraft community is I guess dragon deserves an apology from katu, but for people to ask for playhem to kick katu and for playhem to offer dragon sponsorship for ipl now, I don't know seems a bit to much for me.
Then again I didn't see the point in revoking a code s spot from naniwa for probe rushing either, so maybe I just hold different values coming from the halo community.

Regarding Dragon's actions in the past, the fact that he received Boxer's seal of approval after that makes in a non-issue for me. Who am I to question the Emperor's judgement especially regarding a person he knows while I do not. It's not like he's known for a lenient view on cheaters and unsportsmanlike behavior.


When both Boxer and Cella defend someone's character, you should probably give them the benefit of the doubt

I've never really liked Katu, I saw the cast, and it fits with what bugs me about him. I've always thought he was kind of an egomaniac, so much of what he says I feel can be paraphrased 'Im awesome, so whatever I say is fine and great and it just makes me more awesome' when in reality it often seems like he is completely oblivious to anyone else that he interacts with-- this cast just fits the pattern to a T.

Some people might like the confidence, but it bugs me. Confidence is a positive trait, confidence which comes from being oblivious to others is the line where it isn't. Just my opinion.

To his credit, he did apologize.

Katu shouldn't have said those things, but the OP is way overreacting. So much drama over so little, I would prefer if it stayed on Reddit.

People overreacting. Katu was trolling.

Was a tongue in the cheek comment. He already apologized for people offended.

There is nothing more to it.

People is being to sensitive. I think is a vocal minority that are being so outrageous by some light hearted trolling.

It's just unprofessional, it's not like he went on a racist rant about Koreans in general. However, he clearly wasn't "just trolling," that's fucking ridiculous if you actually listen to the VOD.

He (for whatever reason) is pissed off by Dragon (or was pissed off in that moment with Dragon), and he chose a public tournament stream to voice his opinions.

Just suspend him for 2 weeks and be done with it, if he's stupid enough to do this kind of thing again he'll get what he deserves.

Katu's casting is just bad in general. Hopefully we can get a replacement.

So can we call Dragon a cheater if we dont cast his games ?

he was just expressing his freedom of speech , and trolling the chat , Artosis never called anyone a cheater but he already trolled lots of players and ive never seen a rant post about that...

Please calm down , because TMZ is another website

It's true, to Katu, he was doing 'light-hearted trolling', he wasn't intending to cause problems, but trolling when you're a faceless member of a forum and trolling when you're casting as a quasi-public figure are two very different things.

As a public figure, you can't act exactly the same way as you do when you're joking around with friends. I personally don't think he's intentionally being malicious, but you need to adopt a certain professionality when you deal with 'the public'. Individuals might have different opinions, for example, that what he said was fine, but 'the public' has literally every opinion, and if you don't want to provoke an outrage, you can't act like he did. If you're representing an organization, you can't afford to provoke outrage directed at your organization, very very basic PR.
