Idra said David Kim should get raped with a tire iron.

I don't want to discuss which statement is worse.
But this was entirely forced by people emailing the sponsors. Its really sad. Stupid trolls are killing esports.

By "this", you meant the stephano incident? where did you hear this from, or how do you know?

If that's what Idra said it's far worse (yet still not worth much or any punishment) for many reasons:

1. I assume he said thing in a knowingly-public environment, not an assumed-to-be 1-on-1 private conversation.

2. It is specifically a hateful or abusive comment towards a particular person or group.

3. Idra said that statement in his primary language to which he is very proficient in.

4. While it's pretty obvious he doesn't mean it, the statement is clear, and there's nothing implied. In Stehano's case, his statement is extremely ambiguious, and not sexual whatsoever, and no one but Stephano himself can claim that he implied anything — you can only infer based off what he said, and you may be inferring improperly


It's absolutely nonsensical that Stephano would get punished for this — at the worst there should have been some sort of stern warning. I don't even think this thing was news whatsoever until people heard that Stephano was punished. If it wasn't newsworthy to most people, why should EG care about it?


Idra's comment was basically "fuck this guy, I hate him"
Stephano's comment was basically "I fucked a minor"

Yeah, Idra's is much worse because english is his native language.

It's all on him to be honest. If you're not smart enough to understand that you can't casually admit that you're a sex criminal when you are a public personality (or anyone, for that matter) then you deserve to spend a very bad couple of months while everything is sorted out.

This is the part that worries me, Stephano can't possibly be this stupid.
Good job to EG taking action quickly though.

This is incredibly stupid. People even predicted that this was going to happen. Stephano why did you have to join EG and sell out I know you're doing this for the money, but nevertheless I liked the funny Stephano with the "i don't give a shit" attitude a lot more than the EGstephano. This is honestly painful for me to see.

Well, I guess they value punishing him more over the potential prize money and attention he draws at every event, the real losers here are DH and GD invitational, he draws a crowd when he plays like no one else, bad move imo for EG

Because that's what you guys do.

You realize EG did this thing because the fuckep up people of SRS massively emailed the sponsors, right ?

I understand that EG is a business, but surrendering to SRS, seriously ? Those dicks can pretty much do anything to this (already) terrible community now.


I agree with you, but sometimes business is business. If the sponsors are being threatened, I don't see what else EG could have done.

Well deserved, he needs to understand that EG won't let stuff like that go by, no way.
Its fine to joke (altho i don't really understand what would be funny about that), but don't get caught. Its a basic rule.

I'm guessing the majority of people posting in this thread have never been in their local pub or bar. They seem completely sheltered to be offended by something like this.

And make a private post on facebook between work colleagues to later find out you have been fired because someone found it offensive and it is against company ethics.

Next time Stephano shouldn't say stupid shit to this degree if he doesn't want to lose a month's salary.


Implying it's ok that u get ure urine tested and facebook monitored and have to fit in small box until you die ?


It's not your company. You either play ball or you leave. Fairness or ethics are thrown out the window once money is involved. It sucks, but that's reality for you.

Educated doesn´t refer just to have titles but to have good manners, that´s what i meant. Call bitch to the ceo of a big korean tournament through twitter shows very bad manners

Every post of yours I've read uses the term sexual criminal or some variation of. Making a joke doesn't make you a criminal, at least not in most places I've been to. you don't seem (or perhaps want) to be able to grasp the fact that words do not mean ANYTHING. If there were evidence that Stephano actually had sex with a 14 year old girl, he would have been fired. Please stop reffering to him as a criminal, you may not like him but that doesn't make him a bad guy.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

You're missing the key point that PEOPLE AREN'T ALWAYS SERIOUS WHEN THEY SAY BAD THINGS.

Yeah, Idra's is much worse because english is his native language.
Is that sarcasm?

I totally disagree of your summation of both player's comments. One was an indirect specific threat on a specific person, another was an ambiguous statement regarding an unnamed person; The sexual tones are inferred, not necessarily implied.

Aside from that, while Idra did not mean what he said, I would not define it as a joke either. With Stephano's case, it seems much more likely to be a joke, and did in fact incite laughter.

You also don't bother to distinguish the different contexts, public and private(intention), which is HUGE.
