EPTThought this deserved its own thread given how quickly things are blowing up. Amazing how quickly things make a 180 when someone loses their job when just yesterday, the community was screaming for his head.

He then talked about a family cause when he was accused by his wife of some serious abuses. These are all allegedly accuses and not real proof has been presented yet, even though the accusing guy said that there are a lot of stories and people ready to be unleashed. Probably this is just the start for him, like it happened for other people in the esports scene in the last week | ||

If I want to look at a court case, I can find public record of all proceedings and make up my own mind. This is the first time I've noticed that people are accusing redeye of something. Put yourself in my shoes and re-read this Twitter post. What was he accused of? Who accused him? What defence has he put up? There is NO information here, it is strictly an appeal to emotion. | ||

I really don't know who is in the right or wrong here, but it's just sad and disgusting how much bad stuff happens behind the scenes. Still I don't think his court case with his family should be any of our business. If he really punched Sam Van Tilburgh, I am glad he is gone, but otherwise he might just be very hard to work with and treated some people badly/unfairly and that would not warrant the shitstorm imo. Instead he should get a chance to better himself. Basically I really don't know what to think, maybe none of my rambling makes sense, what a shitty time in esports (but necessary). Edit: I hope all parties involved can get better and heal and work this out in the future. | ||

I think we can all agree a twitter shitstorm is not the best way for this to have gone down, but considering it seems to have gone on for years without repercussion, maybe it was the only way. | ||

Why are we bringing drama more and more to social media? This has to stop... Turns like that using your power against weaker workers is not solving problems like an adult, it means being a coward. It's really easy to act like a bully against people who cannot defend themselves in the fear of losing their job and then say "I'm sorry , all gone". I'm really glad that all these people ,men and women, are voicing their abuses so we know how many bullies are in the esports and clean them all. | ||

Why are we bringing drama more and more to social media? This has to stop... I think it's because E-Sports and social media are related to one another. Viewers are young. Talent team is young. Organizations are young. We're just naturally more attracted to social media. And for the past week, social media has been blowing up with all the harassment and abuse that's been going on behind the scene. As important as it is to voice concerns on Twitter, there's a line between what should go on Twitter and what should be handled privately. I think a lot of them has crossed that line and now, the accused are considered guilty until proven innocence. | ||

To clarify, I'm just glad he lost his position in esports after years of abusing coworkers and literally punching a guy at work. Those are the consequences/actions I was referring to. I agree his kids should not be dragged into this. | ||

Ah, I didn't mean punching someone is an adult way of problem solving. I think it is very good that he lost his job for this behavior. What I meant was the way on how this happend. Involving his family and even kids (how old are they? If they are underaged this is beyond not OK) is too much imo. Pointing out that he did something wrong was the right move, but I think if the people who got him into nearly suicide and harassed his famaily get away with this, it would send the wrong message to further similar situations. However I have no suggestion on what to do... | ||
