Playhem has posted a very thoughtful response. Sure, caster made a mistake, he apologized, I am sure he will be more careful in the future. | ||

Of course not, but this is the kind of stuff you get when you have official casters saying stuff like this. Stream cheating, match fixing, all these things need to have a gloves off approach. This is the kind of stuff that will ruin tournaments and organizations one day. Jokes and trolling are inappropriate anyway during a professional cast but when it includes this type of factually incorrect subject matter there's all kinds of haziness that results. He needs to be punished in some way. I'm all about second chances though, but asking about redemption even without an apology is kind insincere. Edit: To be clear, from Katu, not the CEO. | ||

Wow, careful up there man, don't fall off the dizzying heights of your moral high ground there, might do yourself some damage. Playhem had a representative posting their apologies to Dragon, and how they were dealing with the situation. Perhaps that wasn't enough for you? Fair enough, your prerogative by all means. | ||

If you want SC2 to be taken seriously then you have to take action against stupid situations like this and not just brush it under the rug. | ||

But stuff like this just reinforces the way people view those who play video games; immature little kids. Do you think a major company or business would let a spokesperson or representative say things like this and represent them this way? Of course not. If you want SC2 to be taken seriously then you have to take action against stupid situations like this and not just brush it under the rug. there's a difference between taking something seriously and running around like your dicks on fire ready to behead everyone around you. | ||

Kinda taken back at how some people are treating this as a big deal.... Honestly, who gives a flying fuck what the caster said, playhem are providing $75 tournies EACH DAY! One little hiccup that some people take personally and it's like as if it's the end of the world! Grow up! I swear the interwebs gets to people sometimes.... :s P.S - I actually watched the stream and thought it was funny to be quiet funny. LOL. | ||

Of course people will take that kind of bashing unkindly. He's not even made a sincere apology. It's a shame because I thought he was doing decent casting in the KSL. | ||

Well, this pretty much sums up what I think about it. Won't blame Playhem for what happened and Bonk has nothing to do with it at all. But I'll stay away from Katu in the future. | ||

That's a brilliant linguistically crafted metaphor except it doesn't really apply to the measured discussion in 99% of this thread. But if you're looking for exaggerations...is there a mirror somewhere? | ||
