Why "hope" he gets out of this? Maybe I'm a newcomer, but still even if someone did something for you community who turns out to be a complete dunderhead, why keep having high hopes for them?

I'm thinking it's not so much the publicity as the arrest warrant that's the problem.

All arrest warrants are good arrest warrants?

Though I understand that there are digital divides between foreign scene and Korean scene, sometimes it makes me feel strange that some esports reps who get the worst reputations among Koreans are worshiped here.

I actually have a SBENU jacket and shoes, and I was gonna pick up another pair when I was back in Korea during the summer. They have a built in shoe lift so I don't need to wear one inside lol

i literally wonder, why do you stick around as a known sc2 hater (moved onto sc:bw supposedly) and continue to jab at the game in literally every thread you can imagine. do you want to see the jengas crumble?
looking for justification as a joy and hobby?
nobody likes a downer at a party.
what is the paradox here? do you actually enjoy the game and want it to succeed and to be proven wrong? otherwise what is your problem that you have to voice the contrary to anything and everything related to this game?

"sc2 sucks? sc:bw is waaaay better?" you've already snuck this sentiment in a few dozen times already, at the very least you could get more creative here. you certainly have a lot of practice.

i'm not going to tell you to grow up, but it should be an obvious thing to think about at some point.


It is a really common occurence in game forums. Mostly done by people that still have an interest, but want to avoid getting back into the game. It is a form of self reassurence to have done the right thing, while at the same time not being able to let go completely.

Wow! This is me, basically. Havent touched sc2 multiplayer for more than a year, Im not even watching, yet i still visit tl on a daily basis and read the starcraft content. GFOAT articles made me sad and nostalgic.

its just that, the digital divide you talk about its just a lack of information conveyed to foreign audience mainly due to language barrier I guess. I really liked sonic at first too until I went digging and sorta found out all his other scandulous stuff with like welch's and savior blah blah and all this sbenu related stuff that surfaced and I kinda took a step back and reevaluated this guy.

ive been reading some book that talks briefly about some "halo effect" where you are likely to jump to conclusion about someone based on first impression and since the first impression with sonic was so good (savior of bw omg! donates to charity! runs tournament at own expense!) I guess a lot of us sorta jumped the gun and assumed he was a really nice guy.

also i think its really wrong that hes saying the esports team will continue. where the fuck is the money coming from? and if he has money shouldnt he be paying back what he owes to all the factory workers he scammed? all the investors he scammed?

Since all we've really known him for was stepping in and running BW tournaments/sponsoring Starcraft without context, it all comes as quite a shock. I'm sure there are many people who don't want to give up thinking of him as a good thing for the game(s) they love.

Edit: I'm clearly too slow at posting replies. xD

Can you get a screencap of their screencap and start circulating that? Aside from the inception, I want to see what Koreans talking about us looks like.
