Yep really bad move by EG. Punishing orb for something he said a long time ago, before he was a staple in the community. Back in the beta Orb was known for being bad mannered. It's EG's fault for using him despite his previous record. By using him they did not care about his previous rap. Punishing him for him after the fact is ridiculous. If that's what EG believes in why is Idra playing for them. Having played at lan versus some of EG guys here in Calgary/Edmonton on lan in the past for counter-strike, they've been pretty chill guys (Black Panther was boss), | ||

Who is Orb? what does he do? I never knew this guy. I agree calling people niggers is bad, but hey lots of people talk bad stuff like insulting your mother or wishing your family to die. I would understand this kind of discussion if Tastotis blurted out something terrible in GSL. Am I missing something? | ||

I just checked reddit (first 2 pages), where does it say that IdrA said the N word? I think you're full of it but Ill give you the benefit of the doubt if you link the proof. Edit: The only reddit thread that I see that's possibly related to what you're referring to is this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/qwoyt/the_irony_about_the_orb_situation_now_everyone/ But in this thread shows that IdrA's opponent says the Nword to IdrA, not IdrA saying it to his opponent. | ||

edit - after looking at the screenshots, I don't feel bad for you.. because every time you used the n word you said "dumb" before it, do you think all black people are dumb? I hope to never see you casting professionally again. This was way out of line, and if any tournament does take you, I will make sure not to watch that tournament. | ||

Its because (like myself), most black people that play sc2 have common sense and a sense of humor. | ||

Look at the discrimination and abuse gay people have suffered from in the past(including being rounded up and killed en masse during WW2) and try to tell me that there's nothing wrong with using the words 'faggot' and 'gay' as insults. Just because some of the people in this thread don't think it's offensive anymore doesn't make it a fact. Do you think anyone in mainstream media would get away with using it as an insult? Watch these videos and educate yourself: | ||

On that note, someone mentioned that he is not offended by "cracker", vanilla or stuff like that.. I dont think that you can compare that. Its in the nature of these insults. At least for me it is, with a different view on that (and maybe not knowing what cracker actually means). Just out of curiousity, is "black guy" ("that black guy over there" for example) in the US considered okay? | ||

Saying "black guy" makes more sense than saying "African American." Whites in the US should be called European Americans or Australian Americans, etc. by using that logic. As for the topic. It's a shame, but Orb had to be released. EG has sponsors to please, if they don't fire people like Orb then they could lose sponsors. It's how the real world works when anyone says something of that nature, it happens all the time. Now as for EG Alex.... not sure what to say other than: it's a little easier to fire someone when they aren't bringing in money. Orb vs Idra, is it really surprising that Orb was treated differently than Idra? That happens all the time also, the more important you are, the less your punishment seems to be. Orb was a good commentator but he could be a gigantic douche at times on his own stream. | ||
