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. | ||

What did he ACTUALLY do? Jokingly said a few lines towards Dragon who hasn't reacted in the slightest. He's been reading his stream and sees whats what. 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. | ||

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. | ||

Then trolling or hating on the viewers and laughing at them... Apology was quite insincere. Exactly it was never an apology, it was an "I'm sorry you guys took it this way" not "Im sorry for my actions." | ||

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. That just perfectly sums it up... | ||

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. | ||

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. 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. | ||
