Well I guess it makes sense. All the shit Destiny has done is finally catching up to him.

This^
Spamming sponsors about negative shit is just going to kill the willingness to sponsor sc2, whether or not one like Destiny..



You know even when this was going on I didn't see a huge witch hunt going on, but just Destiny fan boys making remarks about it. But I didn't see a big solidarity of people calling out email sponsers. I guess you can't stop the power of trolls and the haters.

One day.. just one day i feel that there will be 1 too many emails to Sponsors.
Was it really worth it? What was lost from the incident and what was gained from the outcome? I am intrigued.

Why is that? Destiny makes good money, and quite frankly the controversy is probably good for his hardcore fan base to rally around him. Its not like he is winning -- or has ever won -- anything major in SC2. And this is the age of the North American Zerg ascendancy, with Suppy and Scarllet coming relatively out of nowhere to quite successful tournament runs. If Destiny was going to have a big run of skill based results, it should be right around now. But unfortunately there is just something missing from his play that doesnt let him go that final inch.

By the way people who have played with him on his team describe him, he seems like a pretty nice and genial guy and a great sparring partner but no team he has ever been on would say he is their front line player, not even root. If Destiny had the same skill set he has but was just some quiet, shy kid who played SC2 and occasionally enter tournaments where he finished far away from the group stage would he have near the fame or the fortune or offers to join relatively established teams? Probably not.

Despite people's views on Steven, he is probably one of the most honest and pursuing people I’ve helped or worked with in the past. On previous teams, what he received did not outweigh how much he put in, gave to fellow teammates and overall willing to pursue in terms of his career as well as his ability (not to mention his following s bolstered a lot of marketable numbers for teams). He was cooperative, active, talkative and open-minded towards other people and not remotely condescending or rude. He was a likeable character one-on-one and completely comfortable and willing to bend his time to fit team matters and matches.

He may not get the achievements everyone holds high standards for, but he had the attitude and cooperative nature to make him so easy to work with and that goes a long way, at least from my experiences and work (as little as it may be).

Very unfortunate to see Root-Gaming let him go.


I must have missed what happened but its not the OP.

What happened?

He screwed someone over, and she got him back 10 fold. You can read through the later pages in his fan club thread for the details.

or maaaaaaaybe people will stop behaving like destiny does?

just a thought


Behaving how? However he wants in private? That's none of your business.

I now see why the Fighting game community wants nothing to do with Esports.

His private life seems to leak over in a very volatile way.

for everyone thats clueless

destiny pissed off an attention whore, then she posted pics of his dick and a chatlog of them debating whether or not to go for it, since she was a butterface.

Destiny passed around nude pictures of his friend, so the girl posted nude pictures of him as revenge.



what the hell? I'm even more confused now


destiny got a girl to send him noods
he then shares noods and shit talks her with his friends.

Except what she did is illegal if I'm not mistaken.

Sad to see that this had to happen, but destiney made a big enough stupid move to deserve this. Pity tt1 and fayth followed along.

If the sponsors wouldn't be as understanding as they were, wonder what would happen. Good and necessary move by ROOT!

What did I miss? The last thing I remember is the Quantic-Incident.


long story short:

destiny starts talking about girls to fayth and TT1 in a skype conversation. some of his statements can be interpreted quite offensively. he then begins to ask for fayth and TT1's opinions on bluetea's appearance. sends the two of them presumably nude pictures of her. they all start making rather offensive comments.

bluetea finds out. remembers she had destiny's password to his email from when she used to schedule for him. accesses other accounts. she begins to post pictures of destiny's "junk" on the internet.

shit hits the fan.

Well. Now I suppose I won't be as much of an anti-fan for the whole ROOT team. Though I hardly cheer them for the move.

You may be sad to let him go, but your 'good friend' wants to take revenge on someone by trying to get their college to cut off financial aid? Low.

I'll continue to not watch his matches, be happy when he loses (oh, sorry, no IEM qualification), and turn of Axeltoss' stream when Mr. Bonnel joins him on it.

is it a hack if you share your password and erotic pictures with the person who 'hacked' you?

Destiny posted this on reddit.

Was to two people***, not an entire chat room of people, two people that I consider pretty close friends.
I never feigned ignorance, just didn't want to get into it right before an MLG.
I can't imagine how you can think that people will never, ever, ever talk about anything personal or private amongst their friends. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't see myself caring at all if you shared pictures between your close friends, especially given the fact that I'd never see any of them in real life.
Glad you think you have a right to every single private conversation I ever have, though. Posting pictures of my dick to 37k people + cutting me off from access to my e-mail/twitter is probably reasonable payback for me discussing something personal with two friends.
Thanks for the new work location, I wonder what your boss will think of this. Or your dean, for that matter. I wonder if it'd affect your scholarship or financial aid?


Holy shit this guy has a fucking nasty personality. What the hell man. Don't do that if you want to be known as being better than that.

My best wishes go out to Destiny and ROOT Gaming. I hope eventually everyone can put this mess behind them and do well for themselves and for eSports. Whatever your views on Destiny are, he's a successful streamer and an example of what is, and should be, possible for a progamer to do. Streaming to make a living is not an easy job.
