While I believe EG's decision is a good one, I do really hope and wish the best for you. You clearly are not actually a racist, but language is powerful. You obviously regret your actions, that much is abundantly clear. Being in the spotlight is harder than most people realize. The scrutiny under which you are put is insane.

I hope very much that you will make a triumphant return to casting, with this behind you, a community that did right by itself by calling out and not accepting such actions, and with a very bright future indeed. You are a very intelligent guy from what I can gather, and you absolutely deserve to be in the spotlight, especially after this obviously heartfelt post - in my humble opinion.

Best of luck to you in the future!

Hey orb, I've been a fan of your stream for a long time. I think that that EG's decision was an overreaction and I'm sure a lot of people/organizations in the community agree with me. You will find more opportunities.

THe thing is orb, everyone rages on the ladder. I have said some pretty bad things that I am glad is not on tape. And that is fine it happens in all competitive games. Everyone who has ever got onto xbox live in call of duty has heard some of the most hateful and nasty things ever said. The thing is you attempted to hide and cover up what you did from EG. That is what I find really wrong. Because I really really really really like EG as a team and what they are about, and unfortunately you really are not EG material, because you lied to the team about your past actions. Its cool that you apolgized, but I really don't see you part of anything big in the SC2 world. Maybe playhem will pick you up?

Don't worry Orb, now you can go back to doing gods work in your mother's basement. #LastedLongerThanIThought #HerPaintingsAreEvenWorseThanYourSC2skills

If anything, it is your accusers I can't respect. A word is never more than the meaning behind it, and in this day and age only the most narrowly binary believe n***** is a reliable indicator of racism.

I hope this serves as a wake up call for you. I've tuned into your stream a few times and been disgusted with the way you treat both the people you play and the people in the chat channel. It's seriously not right. That being said, I've seen you cast and you're good at it. If you can work out the anger issues and demonstrate a commitment to keeping it clean(er) in the future, I see no reason why you can't be forgiven and given another shot.

hope you will get back on your feet, just don't give up. Always annoying to end up in an internet witch hunt.

Please still cast. I think EG removing you from their organization was the right thing to do given the circumstances, but I do not believe you deserve to be ostracized/banned from the scene or whatever else people are saying. You made mistakes, and you've realized them, and thats the important thing. As long as you don't "relaspe" per say, I see no reason that you can't continue on what you enjoy doing, and I wish you the best.

Its a shame really, would have been sooo much easier to control if you just came clean and appologized right away, instead of flamebaiting on Reddit.

You are a really good caster though, I hope we see you around in other events - Remember, people that are still around and frontfigures in the community have done worse and still came back; Hope you won't give up casting, I enjoyed your work so far.

The only question I still have is why you denied it.

I don't understand what you were hoping to accomplish.

Insincere apology, like you are an insincere person. It didn't take me many hours of watching you to find out you have some growing up to do.

I'm glad that you posted, but this should have come out the first time these allegations were brought up, and you make no mention of blatantly lying in your previous statement, including the Scoots, who stood up for your ass on LO3. It's great that you're apologizing now but you have to realize this just looks like a, damn I'm sad I got caught post.

Awaiting your return. Come back when you're ready. You're a fantastic caster -- better than almost any other in the community. Very sad to see this, but both your and EG's comments have been absolutely appropriate.

Best wishes for the future. Learning process all around.

Orb fighting!!!

"let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" - that's all I can say to the people like, XRaDiiX, who think they've never done anything wrong in life.
