That's huge. Agreed with Kawaii. | ||

To be unfair: Good looks and boobs work everywhere  I'm somehow surprised though that it took a very long time for a topic like this to actually be detected. My pitchforks are all polished, lets go and find the right one to use for this occasion. | ||

Veralynn and Deathangel both done goofed pretty bad. What I'm going to say however is that we should offer some amount of leniency because of the good that has been done. I don't think anyone would deny that more tournament sites and better run eSports companies like Z33K are a good thing, and it seems from the posts of those involved with Z33K (previously or currently) that she's done a lot of good there. Ban her from participating as a player anywhere, but don't run her out of the community. If she wants to come forward, admit what she's done, and stick strictly to what we know she's done a good job with, then allow it. I've also seen her coach live, and she certainly seems more engaging than a lot of other coaches you watch. The ability to play at the highest level doesn't make you automatically fit to teach, and the inability to play at the highest level doesn't make you unfit to teach. Keep an eye on them, let them do whatever it is within the scene that they do that has nothing to do with playing themselves. Aside from morals and other subjective things, I don't see what that would hurt. I will in no way defend their actions, just ask that we're smarter in handling this than we have been in the past. I would NOT say she was doing "good" for the scene with her coaching. She was advertised as a GM level player coaching and the people who received her coaching was expecting that. While you have a point that you don`t need to be GM to be a good coach, the point is that people were misled she was GM and that is most likely a big factor in their decision to have her coach. This false advertisement is more bad than good. If she did other things behind the scenes that didn`t involve taking money from and misleading people, I would agree with your post. | ||

I want him to go to the next Dreamhack and have people throw pink streamers at him, have signs like 'YOU GO, GIRL!' and 'VERALYNN4EVER' for him. Haha yes, shame him that way is a good call. It's a shame really, Deathangel was a pretty good player and he had decent runs at Code A when he was over in Korea. So disappointing! | ||
