Because saying something about stream-cheating is different than calling him fat or ugly. I'm not out to crucify the guy but I don't think the water running off the back is the right approach here. | ||

I guess all those angry 09ers dont even know all that much about Dragon... IT'S NOT A FUCKING JOKE. Why don't people get this? He wasn't joking. He was just saying stupid shit. Dragon is a former cheater, yes, but Katu was saying he was kicked out of SlayerS for cheating and was banned from all tournaments, which is just plain incorrect and fucking dumb. | ||

The job of the casters isn't to do what Katu did. Not to mention he didn't even exactly know the whole Dragon stream-cheating story anyway. He just acted like an idiot. | ||

Even if it was a joke the subject matter is something not to be joked about. Seem pretty cut and dry to me. | ||

"I will stay away from playhem" - c'mon, its fault of Katu, not Playhem. Ye, Katu make big mistake with this comment, but i think Playhem is a very good tour. Every day u can earn 75 $, and watch official stream in HD quality. Show me another tour with that professional approach. About Dragon, i also dont like him bcuz cheating in the past, but telling this stuff on stream was bad. It is his own buisness what he doing in his life. | ||

It has nothing to do with the player, IMO. For me, it has more to do with - a) Katu represents Playhem b) Katu talks shit about a player playing in his tournament in front of hundreds of people c) accuses a player of cheating and tarnishing that players name when the player in question is streaming the event d) makes no attempt to apologize or recognize he's in the wrong. Dragon enters playhem, earns them viewers and publicity, gets his name dragged through the dirt. To ignore that is stupid. Edit - But yeah, people saying they are gonna boycott Playhem because of this is silly. | ||

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. Right, because if you're in your class taking a test and one of your friends tells the teacher that you are stupid, and cheating. And once the others tell him to stop accusing you for no reason he tells them he was trolling lol obviously you are all stupid to think otherwise. You are still friends after that. Right? If you are ok with the whole "he was just trolling lol" statement then you are ok with them thinking you are dumb. And it should never be ok for a caster to accuse a player of cheating like that on stream, and also criticize him that hard. I don't see the problem with people getting upset at this, my opinion on Katu went from "nothing" to "negative", that doesn't mean I have something against Playhem. Except the part where they try to make me think he was trolling. Edit : And yeah lying and not apologizing tells a lot about him. | ||

Edit - But yeah, people saying they are gonna boycott Playhem because of this is silly. I think these are good points. Hoping that the managers of Playhem at least have a word or two with Katu and make him release an apology for his ignorant remarks- what he said wasn't even particularly accurate. He clearly doesn't even understand the whole story regarding Dragon, stream-cheating (a long time ago), and SlayerS.
