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.

Everyone rages, sad to know there are such people who go out of their way and complain about something they've probably all done before, and destroy someone's career in the process.

Good to hear. Tolerating shit like this is one of the reasons no one takes the gaming community seriously

edit: the fact that people went all the way to EG's sponsers before they were even able to respond whatsoever is disapointing.

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".

GJ reddit, you successfully destroyed the casting career of someone who raged in a ladder game.

Just a note:

good post mate, pretty well thought out.

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

How it must feel to be introduced into such an awesome place with the opportunity to do and perform well within the starcraft community and than to be completely denied.

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 .

As much as I respect the amount of time you spent on this and your decision, I get the feeling that this will have an everlasting effect on orb's future as a starcraft caster.

I sincerely hope that orb doesn't get left by the wayside because of this.

I did not realize Orb was eight when this all happened.

Many people might make a joke of this still. Lots will say, what's the big deal Alex? But In my personal opinion this is a giant step in the RIGHT direction for the professional Starcraft 2 scene. If we don't set good standards like this, then we as a community can never be taken seriously. As of right now, I don't see any community (Dota, Halo, CSS, LoL, etc etc etc) being more mature and more BADASS than ours . Im biased of course. Good news for Starcraft 2!!!

Thanks Alex.

PS Orbs fault was... Once you have a public image to take care of, you gotta grow up.

EDIT: PLZ CONTACT ALL THE EG SPONSORS BACK IF YOU DID BEFORE ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH PITCHFORKS!

I am glad this panned out the way it did and applaud the overall handling of the situation from EG. People saying this is a witch hunt and he should be able to ladder rage all he wants need to know this stuff reflects on more than just himself.

People looking to make a living in an online environment should learn to control their frustration without resorting to hate speech, intended that way or not.

I dont really have a formed opinion on this. I need to read a little bit more about the whole thing, but so far well handled by EG.
