As emotionally invested as people are on this topic, TL rules still apply. That includes flaming and ad hominem attacks.

I guess what they said on Inside the Game still isn't true .
The community isn't mature enough and care about dicks too much. Every drama like this seems to me as failure of community, teams and sponsors because of overreacting.

Damn, what do I get for not paying attention for a couple of days? I miss these pictures.
Anyways, don't send nude pictures of you to somebody, if you fear them spreading it (goes to both parties).
edit: But really, I could care less for butterfaces and pictures of dicks.

Hello all,
I'd like to thank the dozen or so of you for submitting concerns regarding Destinys recent public behavior. It has not been on our radar until now so we appreciate the opportunity to understand how our company is perceived in association with Steven himself.
The principals at Cloud Nine Labs, including myself, remain in support of Stevens PR decisions. Furthermore, we encourage his brutal honesty, snide remarks, controversial comments / subjects, humor etc. as it brings a uniquely dynamic and highly entertaining element to the streaming experience. His strong personality is what makes him Destiny - one of the most successful SC2 streamers of all time. Other SC2 personalities should take a cue from Mr. Bonnell because the SC2 pro circuit is not just "gaming". It has become a powerful industry that can be monetized by establishing a strong, widely talked about brand which Steven has managed to accomplish.
In short: stop bitching, change your tampons and up your game.

ROOT needs to make this statement too.


You want ROOT to make the statement "Change your tampons". Really?

I cannot believe how deep the current of misogyny runs in esports. You, and this company, disgust me.


I support equality for women, but every person associated with "the feminist movement" has been annoying as hell, and I have just wanted them to go away. Not unlike how I feel about you. /shrug

Edit: Before you condemn people like Steven for mistakes they make or stupid shit they're part of, ask yourself if you've ever made a mistake or been part of stupid shit yourself. If you're like me, you'll eventually come to the conclusion that that's a part of what it is to be human. So get over it and get on with your life.


Do I regularly do 'stupid shit' knowing that it threatens the future of my career? Repeatedly? Even after I've had a million chances to amend my behaviour?

Nope. I'd have to say I don't.

All this right and wrong talk confuses me.

1) The purpose of sponsorship is to draw attention to a product
2) The player is the medium through which that attention is drawn
3) If the player jeopardizes the image of the sponsor, the product, or himself, he defeats the purpose of his sponsorship

When image is your career, every single action that can affect that image matters; it needs to be evaluated. Sure, that might be a lot of pressure, but hey, that's your career. Deal with it.

Ultimately, consumers control sponsors, sponsors control teams. If everyone is up-in-arms about Destiny being booted, start an online petition of how this is the wrong decision. If ROOT/sponsers get 100,000 signatures saying how Destiny should be in ROOT, they're going to listen.
Happiness only real when shared.

Somewhere Bluetea is smiling :p. It is sad they had to part ways, but if Root is really trying to grow financially this is the right choice. I don`t think it really hurts Steven either. He will always get his stream numbers. Although not being able to wear the same tag as friends kinda sucks.

I hope TT1 is also kicked from ROOT for goading Steven on to giving the pics when initially Steven was resilient not to see them. If he remains on the team despite being the very catalyst for the problems that occurred then there is no way I can support ROOT as an organization.

Orly? They're actually bringing down the scene, messaging managers is the most respectful/honest way to get the situation handled that is discrete and doesn't crush eSports infant stage. But maybe stopping the cash flow into eSports is worth "doing something good"

we didn't leak shit jesus christ


I'm calling your bluff. I know bluetea had destiny's email pw that is associated with his twitter, but are you trying to tell me destiny used that same pw for his skype?


Also she said, she changed the skype password with the help of his e-mail account. So no sb must have leaked it.

This. She could reset his skype pwd by using e-mail account. But e-mail pwd was given to her by Destiny, so no leak here. It is unbelievable for me, that you can share private mailbox password with a person you know from the internet, hell my wife doesn't know my passwords.

No matter if he's officially a part of ROOT or not, he will always be ROOT in my eyes.

Hey, man. It is what it is, as your name goes. I don't quite understand it, either. I imagine you and I just haven't truly gotten to know any of these kind of people yet. If we ever do, then we might have a better intuition on the subject.

Destiny is on the team purely because of his "personality". If his personality isn't liked, he gets kicked.

TT1 actually has skill.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

The problem is a lot of these people making these comments don't know what misogyny is and haven't evolved past 19th century bourgeois mindset.

It's extremely unfortunate that we get the privilege to read so much gender-hating on TL/SC2 communities (re: Scarlett hating).
I promise not to make a tasteless joke.

Would you have preferred "remove the stick from your ass" ? Same meaning, relax

Perhaps something that wasn't as woman-hating?

And had Destiny been kicked from the team due to his lack of results, then that would be fine. But no, he was kicked in part because Payam kept begging for pics until he got them and the fallout from what occurred thereafter.

Also, lol @ 15 year old girl sending nudes to me. The most I've gotten at pictures in bikinis. I would never accept nudes from someone claiming to be underage for the sole reason that it could be a troll trying to set me up.

So the only reason he wouldn't accept nudes from a 15 year old is that he is afraid it could be a setup.

lol that's pretty funny actually
