Orb I <3 you.

As a Terran player you are my favorite caster and I never notice any bias (which I Do notice with mr. bitter). So I know that you strive to be professional when it matters. I think we've all gone and said stupid things on ladder that hardly represent our views. So I choose to support you as someone who has done similar things many times.

You're a great caster, and seem like a cool guy Orb.

I can see the context you were using it in, and I'm pretty sure there was nothing to it and it doesn't hide some big deep dark racist secret.

So - sorry you got wrapped up in all this drama. Keep casting and I'll keep watching without givin it a seconds thought.

If its not fun I dont want it.

that would be funny, 1st level thinking


sooo... insulting everyone who cares about this issue? Doesn't matter if you weren't offended, if the community has a problem with it then that's that. Seems like you're just defending him because of personal relations. 1st level thinking.

I actually have no relationship with orb whatsoever, and saying people were thinking on 1st level isn't insulting, it's just saying things how they are, they're the same type of people who get really offended whenever u joke around with them, even as a friend, learn to not be sensitive, it will be very useful in your entire life


does it sound like im bitchin like some of the people in the thread? I couldn't care less about what happened to orb, but I respect Alex's decision. and I'm pretty sure there would be some people that would argue with your "first level thinking" jab
learn to show respect, it will be very useful in your entire life

Actually you weren't wrong - Alex Garfield admitted he thought you were not actually racist.

He's a hypocritical sanctimonious asshat, you have nothing to apologise for.

How many, honestly now, how many people, especially those faux-PC reddit drama trolls, if you trawled through their entire history of every replay they had on ladder, custom, stream, skype snippets recorded, maybe their IM chat records, would not have comments similarly embarassing to be taken out of context?

I mean even Mr Garfield, assuming his irritating rant about his own educational credentials and spotless personal ethics are taken at face-value, has many people in his employ that do not meet these standards. Idra is the most famous but far, far from the only example. Ever heard InControl talk? Baller chap, says stuff sometimes you could take out of context.

I've raged on ladder a few times. Never called anyone a nigger or a faggot, or even stupid. I've called them lucky, or coin-flippers, or cheesey-bastards.

Just saying, bro. Don't lump everyone in with guys like Orb (or you).

you comparing apples to oranges here, Orb was being paid for his personality, how he talked how he communicates with people, thats all they wanted out of him for him to be polite interesting funny knowledgeable and entertaining to the best of his ability

the only thing they ask of IdrA is for him to leap across the metaphorical table and rip his opponents throat out with his bare teeth (and by that i do mean best the opponent in an old fashioned game of starcraft 2) unless IdrA does something completely insane like calling people niggers and raging in interviews (and i mean ltieral frothing at the mouth OMG this guy looks unstable raging not his cool as a cucumber "raging") they wont ever remove him for his personality

the opposite is true for Orb, Reddit proved without a doubt that hes got a pretty big temper and isnt very good at dealing with that temper, all it takes is one bad ladder game before he goes live for an official EG event and then what happened here makes it look like a peaceful summer day, why take that risk?

orb needs to keep his nose clean, no raging on stream no raging on anything that has the name Orb above it he needs some serious smurfs for ladder becuase i gurantee he wont make a 180 and he cant get caught again

I don't believe you are racist either. There were just some things that were said without thinking that really ended up hurting you in the end. Especially when you're representing an organization, never mind one as well-known as EG, professionalism matters more than most people seem to realize. I certainly hope the best for you in the future.

honestly this was blown so over the top, orb shouldn't have lost his job when all he did was use a word to replace the place of another he is clearly not racist and the context it is from shows this. I have many colored friends and they all agree with me that when the term nigger is used now days it is either to describe a retarded street thug black man, or just as any other swear word. Theres a difference between an african american man and a nigger.

Barely anything to even apologize for... You're a good, entertaining caster. Pretty severe overreaction in my opinion.

I concur... I think if Alex would play a lot more StarCraft, he would be saying some pretty awful stuff. Competitive games are frustrating.

Wow this is very very unfair to you orb imo. You handled it like a boss but to bad people cant take a joke, This has got EG more publicity and they fire you over it? Something that has nothing to do with the now. Sadly your suecess had made a lot of stupid nerds very jealous and they want to see you fail. Honestly if you had something to do with orb getting fire you should be very ashamed at yourself for potentially ruining someones career because you lack motivation to get somewhere yourself in life and you get off to bringing others down on your shitty plane on existence. Go fuck yourself.

i was on his side until he linked the reddit post where he "apologizes" the only reason i was defending him was becuase he paniced and wasnt sure what to do but he obviously realised it was soemthing he had to apologize for and literally couldnt realise this was a big deal

This irks me too. it seems waaaaay too much of a coincidence that "his friend" bms the EXACT way orb does while "playing on his account"..................

BM/Rage like that is bad enough, but lying about it is in some ways much worse.....
