Oh well, for future reference, you can pretty much consider Russia to be a big mountain, rising towards freedom, with Moscow on top and some high-income cities somewhere near, and the rest just goes downhill. And our lovely goverment, which is supposed to help it to grow, relentlessly chips it down... And the People rejoice. kinda depressing... I hope some oligarch's kid is really into SC2 and would get his daddy to pay off life/bomber/taeja/mkp/anyone to come ^_^ | ||

Afraid of walking by themselves and being attacked because they are asian, but nothing ever happened. Yes, Russia can be dangerous, but so can anywhere. You just need to be consciously aware of your surroundings. I honestly feel like nothing would happen to the Axiom players if they went, but if TB wants to play it safe, then let him play it safe. Better safe than sorry. This is a huge lie and straight up bullshit - sorry but you're either lying or completely ignorant. Novosibirsk and Siberia in general is FILLED with Asian looking Russians, because the further east you go into Siberia the more people are 100% Asians. Russian regions like Yakutsk, while being Siberia/Russia are entirely made up of asian looking people. While Novosibirsk is still in the mostly-white part of Siberia being central - it has a HUGE amount of people from Yakutsk and Khazhakstan who look asian. So saying that Korean never felt safe in a place full of Asian Russians is probably one of the biggest bullshit I could read all day. I lived in NSK and my gf is from there, go there all the time, seeing Asian looking people in Siberia is the most common thing in the universe. In fact, it would be very hard to distinguish between the Russians and the Korean/Chinese. When I was there a Chinese friend of mine was being approached and people were speaking in Russian to him all the time assuming he was from Siberia. Mod, I know you asked to not talk about "political" stuff, not sure if this could be counted as such, but I felt I had to inform people about this, because someone coming here can read this post and actually believe this guy. What he wrote is straight up incorrect/false or this guy is lying/trolling. Anyone who has been to Novosibirsk can confirm this. | ||

And as for this TB/Axiom thing... I can understand, but I think it's a bit of a overreaction, and I have a hard time believing that any danger would actually come to his players, but it sort of makes sense. I would think that Russia, which gets lots of Asian tourists, would be use to the general closeness between males prominent in their cultures, but I don't know for sure. I've never been there myself. But it's not like any of the players would be in the Russian boonies, they'd be in downtown Moscow where I'm pretty sure they'd not want any harm to come to tourists. I think a full boycott or avoidance of the event kind of is unneccissary but it's his call. It's just kind of a bad situation I suppose. I'd personally love to see those players there. | ||

Думаю, их здесь много. Anyway, I will stop posting about this but it's kind of absurd to see how much people are badly informed or straight up lie like that guy I quoted above. It's kind of hard to read so much bs meh :/ Best of luck to all the players and since I will actually leave Moscow after 2 days after DH happens, I will definitely attend.

I love you guys, but boycotting DH Moscow is, albeit small, way to demonstrate that Russian actions are not acceptable for a modern country. To call a boycott like this small in an understatement. I think to the general populous of Russia it's completely laughable. It doesn't demonstrate anything, it hurts DH and SC2 more than anything else. Again, I don't want to say TB is in the wrong here, I just think it's not necessary at all. | ||

Yeah but DH moscow was a stupid idea to begin with tbh, you don't do an event on a country which make the 1st page of every newspapers for 6 months. Next we will see DH Jerusalem ? Lol. Anyway, the tournament looks crappy, I probably won't watch it. There is the same tournament every week with Go4sc2 and Zotacs. | ||
