to be honest i assumed it was a joke all along during blings stream, and im not gonna lie i thought it was hilarious watching blings face. i think the decision from EG to send him to korea for training whilst he serves his punishment was clever and effective aswell. | ||

They just wouldn't care about the latest drama like any intelligent person should unless of course you a woman that loves soap opera Biggest esport site in France? Like I said, small-time. No one cares what a French team does. | ||

You want SC2 to be taken seriously and to "grow esports" then you shun any degree of professionalism the next day simply because your favorite insert player / team is being affected. I can't number the times that a professional athlete / team / manager and even secondary staff and coaches have been scrutinized and penalized from leagues, pay rolls, or team contracts due to badly phrased public statements or private statements that were subsequently leaked due to stupidity. And no it doesn't matter what country you are in, it's going to happen if there is any degree of professionalism or sponsorship behind it. | ||

When he says abusing, you can clearly get he is joking about what happened or did not happen. Why? because you just don't use abuse in such a way in English especially in casual conversation. | ||

The serious people are laughing there ass off right now while they watch a prober sport where all the focus is on results on the sport itself instead of the latest drama | ||

Prude Americans see 'abuse / 14 year old' and jump on their high horses right away, love it. There are so many better ways to work such a simple situation like this out. | ||

There could always be more money, but you can't go up to Google with a sponsorship proposal and your only point of sale be "yeah we have this guy who plays a video game AND we don't let him say random things on battle.net!" and instantly grow the scene.

The amount of discussions like these about SC2 personalities is beginning to parallel the media's fixation on the meaningless drama behind what the latest athlete said under his breath. You're being sold a controversy that doesn't really exist. He said this on battle.net, nobody would have noticed or cared, except SRS doesn't have hobbies besides personal vendettas against people in esports. Esports is a big place. There is professionalism in casting and in tournaments (where exposure happens), and that's good. There's freedom on the internet (where this entire scene came from), and that's also good. The latter shouldn't actually affect the former if you just filter all SRS emails to your spam folder. | ||

Answer the question to yourself, is that a good thing? That every shit you do private will be used against you just because you are in the public spotlight? I dont want to be the sc2 scene like that. Just some people making a big deal out of nothing. We as a sc2 community shouldnt give a damn at all. We should be different and better. Fucking bad joke that wasnt even funny and it was stupid not to check if bling is streaming but still : Just a bad joke. | ||

What are we? Police, law? Will we be kicking and banning players for drinking when underage? For smoking weed? As much as I usually like EG, I feel that is over the top and nothing less but stupid. | ||

Have you never ever ever after completely running someone over on the ladder or in a CW joked with your friends that you "fucked that guy/kid/asshole good"? Well in this case, the player that was ran over was a known 14yo GM player. He realized the implications and joked to his friend (in what he thought was a private conversation as he clearly didn't realize Bling was streaming) even more. Was it tasteless? YES! Was it stupid? YES! Should Stephano be suspended (and consequently neutered to save those precious children)? NO! | ||

My opinion on whether or not it's a good or bad thing shouldn't matter, people don't seem to understand that if you want to quote grow esports unquote you have to expect things like this. The linkage isn't "only boring stuck ups who make a big deal out of nothing" are capable of sponsoring and growing a sport, it's that immature and unprofessional athletes / players don't help give your sport any legitimacy. | ||
