Protoss players have got abuse for 20+ years for well, playing Protoss.
I’d agree that Artosis’ behaviour would be unacceptable, if he didn’t behave totally differently in other environments. The auld duality of man!
People take his stream with a pinch of salt (joke intended), it’s ridiculous. But hey he’s otherwise a pretty level-headed, good guy who’s done a fucking ton for these games over the years. Given people spam him with Mario erotica, I think most of his viewers are sorta in on the OTT rage being something of a joke.
I mean, maybe the very first time when I was a youngling, I never thought say, the Angry Videogame Nerd was that angry in real life.
I’ve never heard of a player ever being banned from all ESL competition for non-cheating reasons, Avilo was and for good reason. It wasn’t an act, he’s just a piece of shit.
Even aside from the whole stalking farrago, he’d BM constantly. ‘Hey that maphacker I just played is also streaming, go harass him viewers’.
Aside from the obvious of well, broadcasting it, Artosis’ rage is actually pretty self-contained. It’s very much the ‘Protoss’ part of ‘Protoss player’ he’s usually ranting about, he’s not really shitting on the actual person. He also doesn’t really BM that much. Not never, but actually not that often. Like sure he’ll be ranting to his stream about how a fingerless monkey could get to S tier with Protoss for about 5 minutes prior, but more often than not he just gives the GG

Artosis is equally as insane as avilo when it comes to BM, the only difference is, he's actually popular. When you are popular you can get away with murder, i've seen it a thousand times over.
