In my opinion, this is nothing but bull shit, I mean, you went to reddit and posted MULTIPLE TIMES that it was not you who said those words. Now less than 24 hrs later you are "sincerely apologizing." I hope you learned your lesson. Oh, and lying only makes things worse.
A lot of people like you, but i am not one of them, gl to whatever you do in the future but I hope you do not have any more high profile casting jobs.

There is only 1 way to go after you're beat down and out. That is up. Take a break from the community, reflect on your actions, and come back slowly and steady. You still might get some negative backlash like the TT1 issue but I'm sure you'll get your fair share of supporters too. Good luck. Not everyone bears pitchforks.

I'm really sorry this happened, and I think its a loss for the community ):
I think it's really stupid that the community would try and ruin someone's career who had such potential and influence in the community.
I really hope you will re-enter the scene (:

It sucks this community is so enthralled by drama. Everyone says stupid stuff sometimes, and it sucks that some prick decided that it'd be a good idea to dig something up from a vod on your stream when you had finally gotten an amazing position. Keep your head up, you're a great caster and should be damn proud that your talent and level of analysis has gotten you as far as it did.

Keep doing what you're doing, because your casting made the master cup something to look forward to every day.

Ps. Ignore the trolls in this thread. Theyre one in a million, Anyone who goes out of their way to bitch and moan at you in an apology thread deserves the worst.

I must say i was shocked when i realised that one of my favouritve casters was actually capable of saying things like these. I always thought of you as a very mature and intelligent man. Nonetheless we all learn from our misstakes and I do hope to see you out there casting again soon. apology accepted!

To be honest, you dont have to apologize to me at all as I never seen you really do anything wrong. Im black and I dont find the "n" word offensive at all (Especially with the way the word was used). The reason I dont see it as an offensive term is just simply because of how the world is nowadays. The "n" word is used to describe stupid shit the same way people use the word faggot or gay. I have a gay brother who uses the words "faggot" and "gay" to describe stupid shit so I dont want anyone to quote this and tell me how im scum and dont deserve to live. So i mean, im sure everyone will accept your apology but imo there really isnt anything to apologize about.

People tend to say that kind of things on ladder and/or other games too... I think what most people are angry about is you lying.

Still I forgive you, I know it's ladder and it's quite easy to call someone a racist for a "common gaming statement" (not saying it's okay either) like TB did... seriously i expected a bit more... profesionalism from TB too, he kinda shitstorms everyone now... Oh the good ol' days.

Did we seriously just lose one of the nicest personalities in the scene because you idiots couldn't stop crying? I'm all for action when the time is right like against clearly hateful comments, Limbaugh, but when someone is just obviously cursing someone out it has nothing to do with race. I think we've all been there and I dare you to say you havent, and if so, you're telling me you've always been perfect. We start from a place of weakness in our lives and build our selves up to something respectable. Orb is someone I respect and now you've just crucified a man who did not deserve it. Attacking EG and going after their sponsors? Seems like you hurt the scene so much more than he ever could with that blind activism nonsense you love being "a part of". Like it makes you anything. Reminds me of all the idiot kids talking about Kony and yet they don't do a shred of research on the matter. Pathetic.

Sorry orb. I feel for ya.

This kind of stuff is a MAJOR setback. You guys think that its nothing but its a huge blow. When sundance is out there talking to ESPN about broadcasting sc2 and you got 22 year olds like this numbskull saying such mean spirited things then it just proves the stereotype.

Many people look at gamers that sit there and watch other gamers as "losers" and whatnot and this just proves their point. This kind of stuff HAS TO STOP. GROW UP!

I feel disgusted at this community for making such a shit storm out of ladder rage that everyone gets at some point in there Sc2 career, although what you said can be offensive its understandable some people acted how they did, but some people who have most likely said the word themselves in there lifetime probably got involved and it got taken to a whole other level, although i feel like you deserved your punishment for lying and saying your friend was on your account, you got caught red handed after lying to your employers, but yeh i think your a decent caster so keep at it and just hope everyone else in the community can see past this

Keep doing what you do, you've got my support.

yeah but orb made the ppl come at him calling them the real liars when they had evidence of orb bming. when you make a mistake that upset the public first thing you wanna do is apologize if you call them idiots and liars etc you just gonna cause them to come at you. It's hard to stay angry at someone who admits they are wrong, but it is easy to get angry and stay angry and want to destroy them when you call them names and call them liars.

<3 Orb. You are by far not the first person to have done this, and by far not the first SC2 pro to BM with these kind of insults. Unfortunately you seem to be their scape goat however.

I don't think the issue was EVER about whether you were a racist or not, I don't think anyone actually thought you were. It was more about how you lied to the community and EG.

With that being said I forgive you, and I hope you are given a second chance.
