Have you not seen the videos of immigrant markets getting trashed and the vendors beaten to a pulp by Russian skin heads? It's fine to argue that things are better than they were before or whatever (if that's the case), but to claim basically BS things like this is a little too much. As for the gay angle: + Show Spoiler + If you don't know what are you speaking about, better not to do it, i heard. We're not calling Americans out for ability to have own weapons. Markets (well, if you're speaking about what i think right now, one fruit-vegetable base) were getting trashed for a reason, thank God, since then, it's way more safe in the city and finally, first time in past 5-6 years, there are no news about someone getting killed/raped/dissected in Moscow. And it's not like there were only skinheads. Gosh, those random videos with Tesak, rofl. Anyway, if anyone comes, pm me if you need guidance in city, night excursions or other useful stuff.  | ||

Just one word regarding politics : players should not boycott, but they should not remain silent either. | ||

Totally fine with a political boycott, but don't boycott this because you think it's unsafe. | ||

If it would benefit Russia, we could start talking about morals. Since it does not benefit Russia, but only russian esports fans, morals are not part of the decesion on where to hold the tournament. We have to be realistic about our own size here. Esports has (contrary to FIFA 2018, which was mentioned earlier) not yet gotten big enough to have any real political influence. This tournament is not given to Russia because Russia asked for it or Russia wanted it, it is there, because russian fans are contributing to esports the same way everyone else does and they deserve the same reward as everyone else gets in getting the chance to attend to a live premier tournament. You're absolutely right. This competition in no way benefits Russia. It doesn't bring people outside of Russia to Russia that will spend any money. Obviously Dreamhack is getting the venue for free. And the foreign players, casters and attendees will bring their food from outside the country, they won't fly on Russian airlines, won't pay Russian fees, won't use Russian taxi's, they won't stay in Russian hotels... I suppose they are going to have to drive there actually... in large trucks filled with supplies with mobile homes following, that cross the border illegally. They can't use the roads because they have check points so they'll just have to go off road on the fields that the Russian military convoys used to get into Ukraine. This sounds like the most exciting event yet. | ||
