For myself who is not a dragon fan in the slightest, it was brutally obvious how disrespectful Katu was towards Dragon from the very beginning. I didn't watch Katu's stuff to begin with, and I guess I'll have to continue that. Good job Playhem for quick response and resolution. I don't know that Katu should lose his casting gig, but he should be "corrected" | ||

It was a stupid, unprofessional thing to say regardless of Dragon's history and stream antics (of course, when he does stupid shit it's "trolling). Playhem's apology and offer to send him to IPL4 is way more than is required however so ehm problem solved? Like they said, if the one can be redeemed, why not the other? | ||

Well, players are more important than casters, so many people wish to become caster and have the ability for it while not many people have the ability to become pros and aren't there yet. I thought it was extremely dumb to state that Dragon was streamcheating, Dragon almost always streams FPVOD so viewers would notice it. Moreover, he just decided to make a 3rd orbital command and knew he had to go for fast tanks or he would probably die. And if he lifted the barracks, lings would get in his base and he would lose too. | ||

All this "high quality for esports!" "professionalism for esports punish now!" is all a bunch of bs, playhem isn't nasl/ipl playhem isnt tryign to be nasl/ipl stop making shit up just because your favorite player got bad things said about him. happens to me too why are there no threads about that? If you don't have 3k fanboys you'll need to open threads yourself if you want some pity. | ||

OMG DUDE IS A BADASS GANGSTA!!!! who gives a crap? JP and other casters are far more opinionated than this fool. Except Katu has explicitly slandered a player, and he has no built up credibility in the community already. On the other hand, take Artosis- who talks about how godly Nestea is all the time- and while the jokes may be old, it's not like he lies or is some random nobody who just shits on players for no reason. Artosis has an established reputation as a player and an analyst and a caster and a professional, so jokes are acceptable. Who the hell is Katu? Some nobody. | ||

Why the fuck are people surprised? I actually think Playhem are wrong to sponsor him going to IPL - he's never paid any penance whatsoever for his cheating (and he'd probably be knocked out early at the event anyway). The guy's entire gaming background is shady, regardless of whether he's well-liked or entertaining. Katu went too far in that he shouldn't troll the community or air that publicly until there's certainty, but if Dragon was actually asking for a regame or streamcheating was suspected then Playhem should have had some serious response (privately). So punish Katu and leave Dragon/Playhem alone. No injustice was done, no one was actually slandered (the guy did fucking cheat, unquestionably, and his reasons for leaving Slayers are questionable) and there wasn't really much harm to anyone. This whole drama seems incredibly fucking stupid. Imagine if the same thing happened to CombatEX - would people want the caster blacklisted and CombatEX at IPL too? Shit, he has fans too! | ||

Guess that answers some stuff, and props to Playhem for the proposition, pretty incredible. But Katu still needs to apologize as an individual. | ||

It seemed to me Katu has some kind-of grudge against Dragon. I wonder why. Does anyone know any reasons? | ||

If that Dragon dude did infact cheat at some point. I don't see why he shouldn't get trashtalked a little bit. I'm surprised there are not more people rooting for the caster. He just earned a new fan =] | ||

He just keeps trolling/bashing back... not a good trait for a caster, to be honest. | ||

Just do as I do and mute the stream Well, from the looks of things you wont be seeing much more of his casting on any of the bigger stages: So there's no confusion, my comment about retribution was not meant to indicate favor in either direction. It was more a theoretical proposition that probably did not belong in my post to begin with. That said, its probably best not to leave this open ended. I can assure everyone that Katu will no longer be a representative of Playhem, and seemingly shouldn't have been for some time. From Ryan Desanto | ||

 disappointing to hear of Katu casting this way, he was a bit rude to Bonk and other players throughout the night as well. I hope this doesn't lessen people's opinions of Playhem too much, they're a really great organization and they're doing what they can. Playhem runs really fantastic events, so I hope they keep growing! | ||
