I've just launched a new blogspot which is going to act as a home for articles and such related to E-SPORTS (mostly about the SEA scene), which are going to try and focus on being positive and contributing to the scene.
The first article is about PASSION, the SEACL and ACL this year!
Here's the first two paragraphs:
We're encroaching upon the third week of 2013 and drama has been hitting fever-pitch. Passion and anger circulates through the gossip organs of our e-sports body. Despite the feeling of disconnect we're accustom, there has been no escaping the collateral damage that has spilled over to our side of Twitter, Skype and chat-boxes. No doubt about it, there's been enough angst in these few weeks to satisfy the most dire of soap opera fans, with everyone defending an opinion that must be the one truth to rule them all.
This can be difficult, as discussion doesn't run like that. For it to be effective means having opposing ideals, communicating vantage points objectively to arrive at an overarching truth. What's important here is the journey, not the outcome. It's too easy to say “well x can't be correct, so y must be”. Participating sides, with the audience tagging along, must go through a transformation for a debate to be deemed successful. Although this can be rare, one must not disregard the enlightenment that should occur. Despite the vicious defence of polarising views on tender subjects such as sexism, if the general community can be enlightened during the process, a solid conclusion is not entirely vital.

As much as I hate to say it, but we need more organisations like Kespa to help regulate the industry. At least have a neutral third party people can go to to have these kind of talks rather than have them right out in the open and have a huge blow up live on air.
