This community site is the gateway to new sponsors. while current sponsors might tell their players that they need to manner up or try and be a bit more professional in public - bad attitudes and kids raging over games isn't going to have new sponsors rushing in.

moral of the story - act professional if you want to be treated as a grown up competing in eSports.

Just my 2 cents,

I agree with Erasmus here, however I also agree with "the community site is the gateway to new sponsors." Sponsors only care about the numbers game and how much exposure they get, Idra is a perfect example of this! If there is something much more serious such as racism I guess that is when sponsors will make sure it is dealt with asap. But small shit talk like this.... seriously?

As long as the sponsored players/teams are getting that exposure, thats all the sponsors really care about... money. It really shouldn't matter that much what the community thinks about someone and how they behave.. "that much."

If anything, people love the drama. It's not exactly a bad thing. It only attracts more attention = exposure.

P.S - Tgun, you really are deserving of that Mr Confident Award... haha..
