Thought 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.

As far as I know Banks decided to step out and name him for shitty behavior. Looks like other people joined him

You can find all information here.

An esport guy twitted stuff about Redeye and his abuse of powers in the scene. 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

There's also this Dota2 guy who basically says that he was expecting all this Redeye drama to come off one day, because of the things he saw during his career

Still no real evidence or story

A former Gfinity staffer just came forward and basically said Redeye beat the shit out of him at work.

These onesided Twitter shitstorms need to stop.

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.

At least bullied\assaulted people have a way to tell their story. Not everyone has the balls or the power to not be oppressed in real life.

Sad to see him go as a professional. He definitely was one of the best in what he did.

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.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Noooo, what have the social justice warriors done now?? What is happening lately? Has none been taught on how to solve problems like an adult? Why are we bringing drama more and more to social media? This has to stop...

Clearly very skill at what he does, still being good at your job dosen't excuse you from shitty behavior. You don't make an omelett without breaking a eags.

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.

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.

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.

From the beginning, it was a shame to discover that such an iconic talent had such a horrible personality behind it. The thing that gets to me most of all is that it taints one of the great speeches in esports, the induction of TB into the Hall of Fame, because of who wrote it and made it.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

If these allegations caused him to walk away so easily, he knows he did wrong. He used his power to tyrannize others and have his way in the esports world. It finally caught up to him.

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...
