![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Q08L251l.jpg) never forget i hope all the people who are going remember to put a small cyanide capsule under your tongues so you can choose the easy way out after map-picks are done as putin pulls the lever, the trap door in your booth starts to open, and you start falling down into the gay-to-straight conversion camps below. | ||

I have never been to a DH event or Russia, even though I live pretty close (to Stockholm as well). The second batch better include at least Flash. Dreamhack Helsinki please! C'mon, i will show you the city :D At least, better to see once than listening to everyone. On August 08 2014 02:10 Xoronius wrote: Canada already has IEM. Russia has nothing big besides DH. Well, we had LCS Moscow :D + we had ASUSes back in the days, but it's long story. | ||

With all of the gay clubs in Moscow and Saint-Pete, with gays freely walking holding hands down the streets? Nice brainwashed view of Russia you got there, TB. Way to react on that propaganda bullshit your government-controlled media's feeding you. I'm sorry if I sound butthurt (which I do), but that TB's post just caught me off guard. I am a fan of his, watching his every video, and to hear such a bullshit from a personality I was looking up to that much. That just hurts. TB, let me tell you one thing: there are shit load of gays in major Russian towns and gay clubs, too. Your justification not to send your players in Moscow, a fucking capital, where hundreds if not thousands of gays living freely, is just fucking stupid and ignorant on so many levels it's laughable. I live in Saint-Pete, I see gays on the streets and in a subway almost every day, I've never seen anyone saying a single word to them, let alone hurt in some way. And now you're telling me that your players are in danger in a secure place with mostly nerds, security, cameras? Yeah, way to go man. Oh, and what the fuck the Ukraine has to do with this? There are thousands of Ukrainians living in Russia, there are thousands of Ukrainian refugees streaming from Ukraine now, getting themselves places to live and work. Again, sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely astounded and disappointing by the ignorance and short-slightness of one of my favorite personalities. Welp,I guess you can't fight the bullshit spewing media machine some people choose to feed off from. User was temp banned for this post. That's funny to me, cause I've personally heard multiple times from countless witnesses (my russian friends here) that people were being beat up time after time en masse by gopniks (you may know the term) and similar scum when exiting rock/metal concerts and festivals. Just for that, just for their music taste and appearance. So yeah, since this kinda shit still happens to this day, and the homophobia is much more prevalent than hate towards metalheads, I think TB should rather play it safe. Better safe than sorry. | ||

On the other hand people claiming that Russia is no worse in homophobia and violence are really lying to themselves. Even official statistics show Russia as much more dangerous and violent country than the "West". It is not enough to actually increase a danger to a player in international tournament by any significant margin if they don't go club-hopping and picking fights, but that does not mean it is not much worse than average developed country. | ||

Now, second point, regarding the european players, it's a mess to go to russia from EU for the Visa (+ it's expensive). I understand that teams prefer send their players to Valencia, stockolm, germany, etc... | ||

Main point was being scared of anti-asian racism. Maybe this is a part of it seeing the lack of koreans.

I understand that teams prefer send their players to Valencia, stockolm, germany, etc... There is no anti-asian racism in Russia Hope to see Taeja playing at Dreamhack Moscow)) | ||
