I don't see the slurs as that big a deal, but it was just shady how you denied it being you for a while and only owned up to it once there was too much evidence to lie anymore. That said, hope you've learned from your mistakes though and keep casting. You'll get the forgiveness thing eventually, the internet has a bad memory. Good luck Orb!

never was the phrase "killing esports" better placed.
what is wrong with you? "plz drop the support for XY because i disagree!" imagine everyone would act like you in any situation. then there would be no sponsors in esports. why would they support esports if theyll get 100000 emails on a day from people who considers to drop support for X for doing Y.

are you contacting them for every situation handled good aswell? ill bet all my money you dont.
you should consider to leave esports.

This was all you had to do the moment it came out, and if you had improved your behavior immediately after you would have gained a great deal of respect from the community for showing some much needed maturity. Learning to admit that you're wrong is probably one of the biggest challenges people face, and you just dropped the ball. The moment your pitiful excuse came out, people smelled blood and tore you apart with your past, and what might have very well been the present if this shitstorm didn't blow in. I liked you when I first watched you casting, but when you were raging on stream and in games and denying any failures on your part, you showed your true face. I hope you learn a much needed lesson from this and learn to just chill out more and be careful about your choice of words when you rage because we all do have our moments, but they don't have to be this ugly. Its sad you lost such an opportunity, but its about time you were truly held accountable for your actions as a prominent member of the community.

We love you orb! we know that you are not actually racist... It's too bad people can't be more understanding. I never take what people say seriously on ladder. People always say things they don't mean. It's not like you would say any of those things to someone in person anyway.

I will still watch everything you do! :D <3

Either way, its not like you will not be demanded...some of the stuff you did weekly was appointment programming for me and I am sure you can get back into it right away.



1. He lied saying he didn't do it, and made up a lot of shit to pretend he's innocent (accusing people of slander / blaming his friends). Had he just admitted and apologised this could/would have probably blown over seeing as he is not the first or the last person to not be PC on stream.
2. He works for EG and casts professional games (I'm sure you can appreciate the difference)

Orb is not a racist? Care to explain the screenshot of him saying "damn I wish IdrA would change his theme song to 'I wanna kill every nigger in the world' " without having been provoked?



Does it matter? What is done is done. I think everyone needs to lighten the fuck up.

i don't accept your apology and i'm glad you were fired.

you proved you have the highest levels of immatury imaginable. for a 23 year old, it is downright pathetic. the way you reacted to this sitatution showed you're not ready for the professional world, let alone the real world. i hope this sitation makes you seriously reconsider your attitude and responsibilties in life and you grow up. even your apology letter sounds like a bad Law & Order script where the defendant is trying to make excuses. when you become grown up, you can assume i accept your apology, but not until then.

How ridiculously nosy and hypocritical our community is. I am positive the majority of the community has used racial slurs to express their anger by using it as the most offensive words they know and I doubt they have any true racial hate. This issue should of been between Orb, the victims and the support staff at Blizzard. It was a real dick move by those who post the images because it really wasn't needed to be shown the entire community. The only reason the person did that was to get back and basically ruin his career, which is a terrible thing to do over a single word, which wasn't even used in it's worst context.

I mean really are we going to just burn Orb here at the stake? Or are we going to scrutinize every professional player's comments and BM? How is next Idra or Destiny? I mean really what next are we going to secretly record personal convos and post them on reddit? This nosy shit is getting out of hand, I mean people need to respect other peoples privacy to a certain extent.

I'm sorry but this apology feels REALLY hollow after all the bullshit trying lying that it wasn't you in the first place. Also from what I've seen not the first time you've done this type of thing is it? I don't get why it should be water under the bridge and apology accepted.


If people weren't going so crazy in the first place and blowing this out of proportion I don't think he'd feel the need to lie about it, it's not an excuse he shouldn't lie about it anyways but the over-reaction was wrong also. People nowdays don't give others a chance to correct themselves or make up for it, they gotta be crucified immediately.


I don't buy that. I'm not saying it's easy to admit you were wrong, it never is, but a mature person man's up in those situations and accepts it and tries to improve. An immature person in that situation works as hard as they can to pretend it wasn't them like a kid blaming someone else for braking the window and only eventually apologizes when they see they have no way out. I don't think it deserved the reaction it got but it's hilarious people justifying how he acted both in the initial tantrum saying everybody rages and in the aftermath trying to lie his way out of it.

So you got angry and bm'd... But what i dont understand is why did you lie about it? You even said "do you think im fabricating this" when you actually were. You went into a deep lie with twists saying that it was someone else, you taught them your hotkeys, and that you use a smurf. That hurts man. I know your career was on the line but still be truthful.

Tried to find the part where you apologized for lying to people about your friend using your account...

You didn't. Just admit you lied to the community and to EG.

Relationships are build on trust, when you lie (about something major) you destroy that relationship, and I fully support EG terminating their contract/relationship with you. Trust isn't earned over a week of honesty, and honestly, I find it very hard for you to get good with any SC2 organization ever again... would you hire someone who was dishonest and could hurt your company's image with that dishonesty (completely barring the fact you made a "racist" and "homophobic" comment)?

You wouldn't.

Edit: I can't believe so many people are overlooking the fact that he lied... ok, ya, forgive him for raging on ladder, that's acceptable, we all say things we shouldn't sometime... but to lie to an employer? To the community? To not only lie, but to lash out at people after lying (TotalBiscuit)? Really unacceptable.

Right...
And I suppose ppl contacting sponsors in order to have casters fired is pushing esports forward!
Fuck em, they are going to kill it anyways I am going to take jabs when teams/companies makes jack ass moves....

on a sidenote, how about InControl trolling a porn star (aka mia rose) to the brink of tears. That was quite an embarrassment to watch and much more deplorable than trolling a random ladder opponent who you don't know.

source?

and even assuming its true it would ahve to be completely one sided, completely innitiated by incontrol and even then the fact the other party is a porn star means majority wouldnt care

Everyone gets mad. I get mad all the time. I'm not exactly happy that a renowned member of the community is spouting his mouth off, but I know how shit gets when you're playing a ladder game. Best of luck in the future Orb, I hope you find a group willing to give you a job, as you are a talented caster.
