They should cancel this event. Half the world has sanctions set on Russia and they are about to invade Ukraine. It's kinda cold to help an economy that is supporting an invading army and suppressing a people. Dreamhack do the right thing and cancel it and move it some where else. Anywhere else. To the people who are going stay safe be careful.
*facepalm
USA are not the half the world

But one thing you right about TB. Its much better just announce the decision and dont describe it and talk about things reasons you have no idea about it.
Please re-read my post, because im not saying that at all.
''While sometime our opinions may differ, the people who respect you will try to discuss in a civilized manner.''
The idiots and toxics are the trolls, people just there to shit and hurt someone, whose ''contribution'' bring nothing. You cant discuss with thoses peoples. I hope i make myself clear

Please open your mind up a bit more. If you don't like reading people that disagree with your opinion, then just post what you have to say and don't bother reading the responses.
Nowhere in my text i say that, see the answer i gave to another guy

Being from Russia, cannot agree more with TB. We have lots of frozen food made out of human homosexuals here in Russia. I personally do not like it, prefer eating babies and chicken. Come to think of that... They taste the same.
Well, jokes aside, homophobia is greatly exaggerated by the media. We even have our own 'elton johns'. Honestly i would love to see them incinerated, but not because of their orientation, but the voice... And music... And lyrics. I mean if you pretend to be like Elton, you should at least sing accordingly. But back to the point. It is safe. Especially in Moscow, a rather multicultural city. In megapolis even an extremely deviant behavior is a norm. And being gay? Pfff, that's even not deviant.
Sadly enough, the rulers of any country are a minority and any grudge that is happening is totally theirs. Media on both sides completely and senselessly exaggerates what is happening. When i watch any news it seems to be like another world. A few days ago i was speaking to one of my company's customer in Ukraine (support of our products). And you know what? Neither him nor i accused each other. It was all business, kindness and best wishes. This was from the bottom of our (at least mine) hearts. And yesterday i found out we're still trading. Just so you know.
I still agree to your decision to boycott this, but purely on political grounds. The only way to make things better is to sanction the young, not the old, who rule. Close Steam, battle.net, origin. Set them up against you. Or if a person is intelligent enough make them side with you. Problem is, intelligent people never run a country (especially any fake democracy with brainwashing media, both Russia and US included). So what you're doing is ensuring that all the young Russian Starcraft fans will be more susceptible to the propaganda machine than they are now. It seems you are too, TB, i'm sorry. Thought you've had a critical mind. Nah. I still think you do, just git some blind-spot or something.
Really sad to see how a bunch of species who don't even know what Starcraft is, make borders for us.
Anyway, best wishes to TB, just found out two days ago about his medical problem. Wish you get better.
Oh, TB, if you ever need a "safe" visit (not your team, i accept your decision, but you personally) feel free to contact me. Can give you a tour.
Best of luck everyone, hope it didn't sound political, just hoped to seek some sanity in the world.
P.S. It was meant to be incoherent. My heart wants to see SC in Russia, and my brains wants to see us prosecuted for both what we are doing and what we are not doing.

Fucking soviet era all over again. Shit happens, CNN with the "news" and here you go, the actual citizens of a country are responsible for their gov's decisions, which in reality may have not even been done. Apparently I hate gays, shoot planes, start wars (in iraq? jkjk), there's blood on my hands. To top it all: it's muricans telling me that, gj.

Well TB's statement made me a bit angry and sad. He's not the last man in e-sports and his words have some weight for the community. As i said we had some tournaments in Russia with a lot of foreigners. Riot even made one of the lcs weeks in Moscow. And I don't really remember any accident with a foregn player.
Russians couldn't counfuse asian guy with a gay. Russia borders asian countries like Kazakhstan and China, so a lot of asians come to Russia. Many chinese students are studying In my university, for example. And I've never seen them having any problems, even though most of them don't know Russian. And even if they do confuse a progamer with a gay nothing would happen. Relationship between gays and others are cold. Because it's too hard for the most of people who were born in Soviet Union to accept something that untraditional. But it doesn't mean everyone will hate you if you're a gay. It's just too strange for our people. Of course you can always find an aggressive idiot, but, in my opinion, idiots like terrorists have no nationality.
I don't think it's very different for other parts of the country. Except for probably islamic parts. Muslims are usually more radical.
Anti-gay law is not an anti-gay law at all. It's a law that should protect children from unwanted information like porn (not only gay but any porn), information about suicide, information about making drugs, etc. However, I don't know if it actually works. Our government makes one doubtful law after another and no one actually cares if they work.
What Russian people think about the law? Well, they don't give a fuck. As I said, a lot of Russians were born in Soviet Union. They don't know how to use their right to be heard. They don't say a word against government. And that actually sucks.
About the Ukraine. Ukraine had been existing for 23 years mostly because of Russia. We were almost a single nation separated by retarded governments. And then the UK guy who couldn't care less about 3rd world Eastern Europe countries like Russia or Ukraine says that the way we're acting with the Ukraine is unacceptable. Do you know there's a civil war in Ukraine which they call "anti-terrorist" operation? Do those people look like terrorists?care, shock content. People leave their houses to escape from that dumb war. And where do you think they go? Right, they go to Russia. It's not Russia to act like that, it's new Ukrainian democratic government.
Remember Sochi Olympics. Same talks before games about safety, terrorist attacks, lgbt rights. And not a single accident has happened.
I still think everything is gonna be fine. Sucks that some people bring politics into esports. Sc2 community is too weak to separate like this.
|
Sochi was all bought by putin's bloody money, even the terrorists were bought hence no attacks. /s
|
The real reason for people not sending players to this event, is propably visa issues. It can be hard.
|
How does it work from now ? Any organization sending players will be accused of "supporting" homophobia ? Because there is no middle-ground in this story.
