No there aren't, he's one of the best casters in the industry. I understand your frustration at his actions but you can't deny he is a brilliant caster - that would be plain ignorance.

After all if he wasn't one of the best casters in the industry - why would EG have hired him initially?

He is a damn good, but brilliant is an overstatement. Also, just because there are only a few great casters known does not mean there are not some other great, or even brilliant casters out there that we just don't know about yet.

Dang, crazy how things change so fast... Was really excited to hear you were at the EG house, and now this...

We all make mistakes, just hope you will continue your casting and sc2 career and not fall off the map for this.

people are being conditioned to overreact for racism. I think this is blown over proportion and I for one think EG and people are wrong about you.

people are way wrong on this and I things like this have happened to everyone!

You got knocked off a pretty sweet spot orb, but I feel like your apology should be well accepted by everybody, and while EG is no longer an option for you, the orb style can never be duplicated. You'll find your place somewhere else. This will die down, and people will want to see you streaming and casting events.

Let this me a lesson to all people… manner up.

EDIT: Orb, I wish you the very best of luck. Sorry that things spun out of control for you so quickly. Hopefully this will just give you yet a new start for you to launch another career.

EDIT(2): Decided to delete my rant, decided this wasn't the place for it.

The 'N word' was used in a replacable fashion, in that any other curse word would have held the exact same meaning for me.

This was my big problem with the matter. Apparently that word is synonym to shit, dumb, faggot etc for you. That says enough I think.


meh.. it says nothing to me..
its a curse word.. like shit, dumb, faggot, ect ect ect..
its a label like asshole, bitch, whore, retard.
its part of a greeting.. like man, bro, bud, girl, ect ect ect.

its a word... a word that means different things when spoken by different people.
a perfect example is when the same sentence is used by two different people.. both meant as a simple greeting, but is seen as an insult when one said it and not the other..
perfect example.... the bar scene from rush hour.. sure its a movie and in my oppinion that scene made fun of this exact thing.

to me its just a word mainly meant to insult.. like many other words that many people streaming have said without people crying out like its a drawing of muhammed

Based on personal experience it seems 50% of people start yelling about faggots when they lose a ladder game. Though doing something wrong because others do isn't a justification, there are many many MANY more people who needs to be fired if you were over this.

Idra has acted just as bad while he was officially representing EG. Firing you for something you did over a year ago, while letting Idra off with an internal scolding for a far worse offence, is incredibly hypocritical.

Just remember that next time. You need to bring in more revenue before you can start acting how you want on EG...

We all make mistakes in our lives, shame things like this can bring out the sanctimonious brigade who apparently have never done anything wrong and want to see you crucified but alas that is the world we live in. Anyways, hope you learn from your mistakes bro.

No prob Orb! I understand your view on the use of the word "nigger" (I think). It's a curse word, and everyone regardless of the color of their skin should stand above it. If a person sinks to that level though, such as 6-pooling or cannon rushing or whatever you view as dishonorable or low, then I'm fine with you calling them whatever you want. I at least know you're not saying "you're as disgusting as a black man" (though it seems some take it that way), because you're not referring to African Americans when you say "nigger".

Anyway, I suppose it's good that you own up to what you've done and come to terms with how people view your actions, and adjust accordingly. I still won't judge you for calling people... well whatever really, but it may be in your best interest to refrain from using words such as "nigger".

People who rub salt into a wound after someone publicly apologizes are the worst kind of people.
Do you have any Idea how hard it is to make a public apology to thousands?
Back to the dungeons with you.

You don't have to agree with what he said but Jesus man, you need to talk down to him even after he apologizes?

His apology is still dodgy, he deserves it. The way he apologized is basically the closest thing to an apology without having to bring down one's own ego you can get. It is a cop-out apology.

He still denies the thing he lied about.
He is still making excuses.
He is still blaming things other than himself.

An apology is suppose to be a self-blow to one's ego. That's why apologies are important in the world and that's why people take apologies seriously. Orb did not drop his ego for this apology, and if he did, it's a pathetic amount.

I'm still not buying that whole story about someone else playing on his account, and because I think the lying this is worse than the venting it makes it kinda hard to forgive.

Nevertheless I don't hold a grudge and I will still watch my favorite tournament (the weekly)

If you'd just apologized straight away instead of trying to cover it up/lie I bet you'd already be forgiven, but apparently that didn't cross your mind :-)

because being cool with him is now the "cool thing to do". just like hating him was the "cool thing to do" 8 hours ago. people are sheep and listen to loudest herder, even if it contradicts what they "thought was right" a few hours prior.
