Yes, Orb was punished and Idra wasn't, therefore what Orb did was obviously worse.

Your logic is fucking terrible.

i dont get it, how can you not realise how worse Orbs language was compared to IdrAs?

IdrA said the exact same thing... Check reddit. They both said the N word but some people don't like orb so they bitched to the sponsors.

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),

We've got to start referring to orb as the 'nigger guy'.
Where's the pleasure in that?

Just out of curiosity and since this thread is still on top.
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.

If any sports caster used the N word they would be fired and never be heard of again.. If we are to take esports seriously then the same should happen in this case. I feel bad for you because of the poor judgment you made, however using the N word is really crossing the line.

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.

Np you could not have offended anyone since there are barely any African Americans heavily vested in SC2 and those that are don't give a flying fuck about a white kid calling other white kids niggers.

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

It hasn't been contradicted satisfactorily though. 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:

Uhm, .. It may be a dumb question, but what means "Cracker"? In germany thats either a cookie or the short for "firecracker", the new years eve's thingies.

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?

Read the thread. People have been making these arguments in support of Idra.

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.
