Wow... just wow...

Nirvana built sc2sea from the ground up. He has done so much for the community that some of these posts are just ridiculous. Show some f***ing respect.

To those saying that the consequences of deth's ban is gonna be harsh on his potential career as a competitive player. Yeah, maybe. But then again, if nirvana had not put in the hours and effort that he did to make sc2sea such a success, most of us probably wouldn't even enjoy this opportunity in the first place. If you have an opinion on the matter, you should pm him or post a civil and constructive post. Not get all melodramatic and try to start some anti-nirvana movement.

Deth launches personal attacks at nirvana on a public forum and then gets banned from participating in tournaments that nirvana helms. Is that really all that surprising and preposterous?

Of course nirvana shouldn't be the one deciding on deth's punishment because it's hard for him to stay subjective. Of course these tournament bans are pretty devastating to an aspiring pro-gamer. But personally attacking a prominent figure in the SEA E-sports scene when you have so much at stake in it isn't all that wise either.

I think a big issue here is that up till now deth has not made an apology to nirvana. If he is all that serious about going pro, this should have been a no-brainer. And before people go "Oh so we got to agree with everything thing nirvana does??". Obviously not. Disagreeing with nirvana's decisions is fine, but personal attacks is a whole other story.

Regarding the duration/severity of the punishment of these cases, i feel it has to be judged on a case by case basis, preferably an unanimous decision among the admins. In fact, even if you do reverse the ban now (perhaps after an apology?), i feel that everyone has pretty much gotten your point - that personal attacks on the sc2sea forums is not going to be taken lightly.
