Alex is verbose, and you owe it to yourself (and the rest of us) to read the statement in its entirety. Remember, when making comments/claims to provide proper evidence, facts etc. Arguments based on incorrect assumptions, facts and straw men, will be dealt with swiftly. If in doubt, PM a mod or ask IRC. Do NOT spread misinformation, when in doubt, check your sources. In short, be smart.

 Good to hear. Tolerating shit like this is one of the reasons no one takes the gaming community seriouslyedit: the fact that people went all the way to EG's sponsers before they were even able to respond whatsoever is disapointing. | ||

Sounds ridiculous right? If you don't like the way the post was written that is fine. However, Orb is not 8 and it was not a decade ago. Your example is actually "ridiculous". | ||

if we want to take e-sports and compare it to a traditional sport, we should hold the casters players and anyone associated to the same high standard. otherwise we're just hypocrites | ||

Oh well, it's his fault. He should have just apoligized or repented rather than straight out lie and maybe he would still be moderately respected at all. Still, how could any of EG NOT know he was like this before contracting him.. | ||

...Now, I just wish you guys would also get this upset when people use the word f----t, so that we could start fighting homophobia, too, and show people that it, like racism, also doesn't belong in our community . All we can do is dream... | ||
