I don't see why EG would create a problem if SRS didn't go to the sponsors with one. Because people have been unhappy with it. It's called PR. Google it.

So when he says he "abused" he lied, but he really had sex with her, and he is not into milfs ? I guess you must know him pretty well ! Say hello to him when you hang out together.
And when you have no clue about what is behind a private-but-went-wrong conversation, don't expect people to find obvious your personnal conclusions.

and i never said he wasnt into milfs. what are you saying here? you're totally messing everything up. he obviously had some kind of old story about a milf which bling must have known about. and stephano says that is new sexual preference is milfs and kids.
there's nothing "went wrong" in this convo except for bling having had his stream on

People weren't unhappy that Stephano said something on battle.net in another guy's stream, it snowballed from people with a grudge on SRS getting mad and emailing sponsors. Now that EG has issued some disciplinary action, kotaku picks it up for exposure because controversy sells, even if there wasn't a real issue to begin with. Why would people spam EG sponsors if their contact information wasn't all aggregated in one post on a subreddit that's dedicated to riling people about trivial causes?

At least 4chan kids are rightly regarded as being idiots for a lot of their behaviour, but these Reddit crusaders seem to enjoy at least a limited kind of legitimacy for their nonsense.

This is such an outrageous comment that I actually had to register an account, just so I could respond to it, and that's after being a hardcore lurker for the last two years.
Do you honestly believe that sponsors aren't relevant to the community? I sincerely hope that was a poorly worded off-the-cuff remark and not something you really believe. Without the sponsors, Starcraft 2 would be just another video game, like so many others, that gets played for a few months or a year before being largely abandoned and relegated to nothing more than a fond memory; a fun few months with friends and foes.
Who makes the tournaments we love possible? Who pays for the living and travel expenses that make it possible for our favorite players to attend tournaments? Who pays the salaries of the players, thus making it possible for thousands of men and women to put their education and careers on-hold in pursuit of their dream to become a successful Professional Gamer?
Sponsors. That's who. Without them, none of the above would be possible. Simply put, without sponsors eSports wouldn't exist. This community would be very different if SC2 wasn't an eSport. Stephano's actions only make it harder for teams to attract sponsorships. It scares the hell out of the suits to see one of the best and most recognizable players in the world say something so offensive, regardless of whether or not it was supposed to be a joke.
Based on the reaction of many of the TL members that have responded to this discussion, I worry that a significant segment of this community doesn't understand what it means to be a professional. Paychecks come with strings attached. That's the way the world works. When you cash the check, you represent your team and your sponsors every time you're in public. And make no mistake, you're in public any time you play a game under your team moniker.
Media training should be a mandatory requirement in all player contracts.

In french the word "abuser" can be traducted by "to rape" when it's about a child (generally). So i assume he wanted to say that he "raped" a kid. So i assume he was joking.

there's a lot of porn vids with the word abuse in it. so i guess he picked that up.

Fair enough. Thank you for clarifying.

GG Stephano. At least you're good at starcraft 2!

As much as I hate Stephano as a personality and representative of e-Sports, I'm not inclined to believe that he really did anything wrong here. EG is put in an impossible position where they certainly have to punish him or risk looking bad to their sponsors, however, from Stephano's point of view, he was just chatting/joking(?) with a friend (his only mistake was not making sure the friend's stream wasn't up). Also, these comments are coming from someone who spouts outrageous bullshit on a daily basis, so one shouldn't draw too many conclusions based on this conversation.
Age of consent in France is 15, for those wondering.

Thats how I see it as well. Or maybe we dont get the french joke culture. I dont even get the joke about it lol. I would call that a lie then if its not true. Why would he lie to one of his best friends ? He obv didnt know he was streaming.
