Please clean up the quality of your posting. This thread has definitely taken a turn for the worse. |
I want to apologize for what I said to Minigun on the ladder. I know now that what I said was inexcusable and with that came the ultimate punishment by losing the team that I enjoy being with the most. I did not think when I was typing and I should have kept my personal opinions to myself. I lashed out in rage because of the comment Minigun said and also because someone said he was in my stream chat. I should have more of a professional character and not get upset by such banter. When I was told that I was removed from IVD Gaming I literally cried. The people on this team have the best of hearts and when it comes to management, they only want to strive to ensure that e-sports becomes a popular thing.
I saved my step brother 5 years ago by spotting his cancer early at Rapids Waterpark in Florida when I noticed he was walking with a limp. He became part of Make-A-Wish foundation and has recovered from his cancer since then. I felt obligated to say this because I do not want to come across as a heartless person. I tend to get away from the issues in RL and not think while playing StarCraft.
I have had beef with Minigun since WoL and admit to holding a grudge because I treated him like a friend when we both were learning how to play Terran at some point we clashed on ladder and went our separate ways. Still ultimately what I said was inexcusable and I hope that he gets better from his illness. I should treat people like I would in person as if there was not a computer screen in front of me.
I hope that the community sees this as an appropriate action even though I am saddened by the decision. Best wishes to everyone and I hope this does not effect the community in a negative aspect.

You know what's really lame? Being forced to quit your de facto job because you are horribly ill and afflicted with an extremely painful and uncomfortable disease. As well as not ring able to pay for the necessary medical treatment for said disease.
The lamest thing though? Pretentious pricks with no sympathy and respect for another human being. Internet tough guys who act like little shits just because they can.

As a real Superstar once said "Its that 6'6 long dick slim nigga stickin your Chick" - Slim thug (Still Tippin')
You cant deny what isnt there, but you cant deny what is there. If my grandpa taught me anything it is that the universe is what you make it , even if you dont know what to make of it.

What was wrong with what Ruff said besides the cuss words? Minigun has been suffering from Crohn's disease. He has been desperate for money and reached out to the Starcraft community for help. Thankfully they answered his call. However on ladder yesterday this incident happened. What has suffering from a disease to do with desperation for money?
Absolutely everything here in the United States. I won't go on a rant, I'll just say that healthcare in the United States is the most expensive in the entire world. * Don't go on a rant, don't go on a rant, count to 10* Okay.
So yeah, our healthcare is pretty expensive. Deathly expensive, if you will.

It was still an insensitive quote made that was contrary to the identity of the team who paid him, particularly so in this situation. It might have been made in jest or in anger, it's rather irrelevant. Barring incredibly extraordinary circumstances, it was still just.

Well I understand completely that consciousness kinda dissapear when you're losing a game in sc2, the only difference is that I'm not with a team and can't get punished for saying bad stuff like that. Perhaps you should get a barcode and play on it when you're not streaming. That way you can curse at anyone anonymous :D:D

You also went on to laugh about it after, telling people in your chat that you didn't care if it was mean. And then when people called you out on it, you disregarded them as "trolls".

TB with the Moral High Ground Pitch.... Ruff swings ... Foul ball

I wouldn't kick someone off the team for something like this. Obviously it was a douchey thing to say, but having him apologize and giving him warning (from the team) would have been more appropriate imo. We all do stupid shit sometimes.
Now, if this has happened multiple times while he's been on the team, then fire away!
