You read our minds, kudos to you.
Kudos is too close to Katu...My eyes BURN!!! :D

As a caster for the Playhem Daily, I can say that everyone at Playhem treats each player with the utmost respect. Katu had an oversight with his comments and it was unfortunate.

We do not disrepect players at all

Unfortunately Katu just took it a little too far this time.

Please do not let this reflect on the rest of us casters and please forgive Katu for his obvious misstep.

There is a certain point where you make a joke but continuing something so silly saddens me greatly. Unfortunately Katu just took it a little too far this time.

Playhem just needs to reconsider who they get on cast and TL needs to close this thread/Lock it.

If this his job he should treat it like that, A JOB. If he's going to scrutinize players and then BM the fans, yea he should be fired from Playhem no doubt about it.

If he truly enjoyed what he's doing, he wouldn't have done it in the first place. He should of thought of his actions before saying the BS that came from his mouth.

Katu at least shouldn't be able to cast Playhem anymore, I'm really disappointed of his behavior tonight.

Was watching the stream and decided to make an account here in response to Katu. First playhem I watched and probably the last. Unprofessional, saying dragon was stream cheating ? We could see that was 100% false since Dragon was streaming during the tournament. Then Katu starts laughing at the outraged chat rather than admitting he's wrong and apologizing? Seriously? I don't know where you found this guy but he is completely ridiculous. What a shame.

Not gonna watch anymore with him casting... Casters cannot pick sides and have bad manners towards players they are casting for.. I dont think this was trolling. Just being rude.

You can't just accuse someone of stream cheating publicly without some kind of proof. Especially with Dragon's past, that's the kind of thing that can cause durable damage to his reputation. Completely unacceptable in my opinion.

It is especially infuriating that after the chat started raging (for good reason), he went on to say he got a kick out of it and trolled some more to fuel the fire.

Viewership is a portion of PlayhemTV's income. When a caster (Katu) is taunting the viewers, it hurts the reputation of the PlayhemTV company. There are people who will now never watch PlayhemTV because of the taunting and disrespect.

It was pretty poor form. I haven't seen someone go off like that about someone on a stream before least of all a somewhat "professional" cast. Then trolling or hating on the viewers and laughing at them... Apology was quite insincere.

Okay guys, here are the facts:

Dragon Stream Viewers > PlayemTV

Dragon will beat Katu anyday in sc2 even if Katu was watching Dragon's stream

Enough said.

Exactly it was never an apology, it was an "I'm sorry you guys took it this way" not "Im sorry for my actions."

These casters are so unprofessional. On Dragon's stream, he was clearly lagging badly. However, he did not ask for pause or say anything and tried to calm himself saying it was okay. He was just making the best of the situation and was too proud or maybe unclear whether it was okay to ask for spectators to leave or whatever. Viewers of Dragon's stream then were saying on Playhem's chat that Dragon was lagging.

Upon reading this, Katu says "Yah, he lost apparently because of lag, not because of building three CC's against a roach all-in. *snickers* Even if he did lag, and I'm not implying stream cheating, what are reasons he would lag?" Katu later goes on and just blatantly implies that Dragon was stream cheating and using his past history as evidence, even though the build Dragon did during the game wouldn't make any sense if he was. I don't want to say any specific names, but there are other professional SC2 players currently who have a history with cheating but have fixed their ways and are revered players.

Katu then forgets about actually casting the second game and reads the chat instead, laughing at how angry people are at how he trashed Dragon. Then he mockingly says that he might as well officially state that Dragon is stream cheating. He then laughs during the cast and types in the Playhem.tv chat strings of "HAHAHAHA". He finds that his ego is more important than acting like a professional caster.

As a long time member of TL, I find that this episode of casting is extremely disrespectful and childish.

This was the first and only time I will ever watch this stream. I pop into Dragon's stream every now and then and saw him competing in this tournament tonight. Watching any player compete in these tournaments from their point of view is always entertaining especially because of the amount of games they need to win to get 1st place. Once he reached the semi final and people in his chat said that the games were being cast I thought "oh cool I'll watch both". Right after the game starts one of the casters says the zerg is his teammate. The casters seemed fairly biased against Dragon. I was fine with it up until it started getting annoying to the point where I was thinking "Ok guys the zerg player is also making some mistakes and is actually behind right now.". Then one of the casters started laughing at the chat raging at him which is when I turned off the stream.

It's fine if he was biased for his teammate but poking fun at the chat players raging seemed uncalled for. I understand that it's not the most watched tournament but the casters have to know that dragon has a decent sized fan base (he had more viewers than the tournament stream) and shouldn't taunt his fans.

It wasn't really offensive or anything but it was just a "wtf" moment for me watching this stream and is why I wont watch it again.

As a long time member of TL, I find that this episode of casting is extremely disrespectful and childish.

When a player is suffering from lag while streaming their play, why is it the caster's responsibility to glance at chat (a common place for people to state facts such as "Day[9] Died") and then pause the game? In any other tournament environment (the standard everyone is currently upholding Katu to) it is the player's responsibility to request pauses.

Also, I don't think calling for Katu to kill himself, or to be killed, etc. is the proper way to go about solving this issue. Something this event has proven is that Dragon has a huge portion of very immature fans (something I think to be brought about by the nature of his play). Furthermore, Playhem is currently streaming another show which is being completely derailed by Dragon's fans. If you want to accuse someone of unprofessional-ism, try to do it in a professional way.

As someone who employs Katu for multiple events, I have spoken to him and warned him that anything like that is completely unacceptable in my events. However, I will not be suspending his casting for any of my events as he is, despite one moment of rash behavior, one of the best casters around. I think something people need to realize that everyone makes mistakes and overall, Katu is still a great caster.
