The rampant racism toward SEA from China is a significant contributor to the reason Kuku did the thing he did. That doesn't justify it of course Really because I haven't heard anything about the same poo poo happening to Fnatic or Mineski so

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Also I feel bad for Tims and other TNC players for like getting booed all the way back to their hotel BUT maybe don't play with racists Maybe shouldn't play with himself?  RazzleDazzleHour posted:Sponsors pulling out would probably only hurt teams because that means less guaranteed salary through team sponsorships, meanwhile Valve's bottom line doesn't change at all because TI earns them a hundred million dollars every year TI is supported by the majors. The TI prize pool splits aren't balanced enough to make forming a dota team just for TI economically viable. The majors start losing sponsors, and then teams, and TI will start to suffer.

I think the silver lining is: a) the professional circuit is considerably less toxic than the playerbase, which indicates there is some upwards pressure on behaviour; and b) when players are racist they get called out hard. There might not be 'concrete' consequences a lot of the time but there's substantial public shaming and I think it's easy to underestimate how powerful that is. As the circuit matures both corporately and in literal age there will be far less willingness for toxic people to get a pass.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Fly was the MvP of that game 3, dude was always in position saving people and solo covering the map with vision without getting picked a thousand times. He died twice against a Weaver/Slark/Mirana ult team that was heavily ahead, which is actually nuts Is this because Fly played great or because Midone played really bad

I guess he did some good things in game 2 on Invoker to stretch out the game and give them time to come back but they were down the way they were in part because for most of that game he wasn't playing well either.

I think MidOne could have played better for sure but a lot of it was just Secret being real ineffective at rotating (Yapzor) or not really giving a poo poo about what was happening mid (Puppey). It reminded me of EG last year where they completely sacked either Sumail or RTZ in favor of playing around one core Yapzor ES was a real non-factor most of the series. It might just be the hero as a four as PPD was talking about during the draft GOOD TIMES ON METH fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Aug 21, 2019 |

Don't try to make a list of Dota 2 pro/well known players who are racist and or toxic pieces of poo poo. Make a list of ones who aren't. It's nothing new; almost all of them are. It only comes to light now because some of them who can dish but not take are whining about it more.

It comes to light when its against a prominent group in the community (China, Russia, etc) who actually get justifiably pissed enough to boo and demand people get banned and whatnot. As someone said, no one seems to really give a poo poo about people who said the n-word a few years ago and others that seem real creepy towards women.

Kaci did a TI while she was pregnant. It’s not a something you say to a stranger, but she isn’t exactly a stranger. Those segments are very edited because her interviews with people speaking Chinese and Russian etc don’t have the part where the translator speaks like her live interviews do

That interview made Puppey seem like a psychopath (in a .....funny? way), and that question was somewhat awkward at first, but I would be shocked if Kaci didn't okay it. I hope that she has enough power to easily say no something like that if she doesn't like it. Especially after how long she's been doing this. Not a double post: There are people online saying that they should have just redone the Alliance draft because of iNSaNiA's mistake. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

It wasn't live, they could have edited it out, which makes it even more baffling it still made it in. I guess it was supposed to be funny somehow? But yeah, that interview revealed Puppey as a deeply unpleasant person.
