After the recent controversies involving the circulation of pictures of Destiny and his friend "BlueTea" in various states of undress, the leader of ROOT Gaming, CatZ, has decided that it would be best for the team if Destiny was no longer involved with the organisation.

Revealing pictures of Mr. Bonnell were leaked by BlueTea after Destiny had shared nude photos of her with other members of ROOT, TT1 and Fayth in particular. BlueTea, having access to Destiny's email and Twitter accounts, blocked his access to them and posted the images of destiny via his twitter.

CatZ stated that these matters were meant to be kept private, and that though he and the team are still friends with Destiny, the negative response from sponsors in these matters, along with Destiny's tendency to be involved in such controversy, meant that the team's sponsorships would be in jeapordy if he were to remain a member of ROOT.

TT1 and Fayth will also receive temporary suspensions from clan wars and in house tournaments as punishment for their involvement in the scandal.

CatZ' post can be found here: http://www.root-gaming.com/forum/vie....php?f=6&t=588
Info of the controversy can be found in BlueTea's Reddit post here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comm...hats_going_on/

This is a real shame.

As Catz wrote in his post, people immediately negatively emailed the sponsors.. Rather than going to ROOT themselves.. I also think TT1 and Faythe should be receiving a harsher penalty.. They dogged out a team mate in the direct knowledge that he could (and most likely WOULD) be removed from the team...

[FsDronesInJail]

Destiny bringing shame to yet another team....... when are you gonna grow up??
He probably doesn't care though, the Destiny fanboys got his back

[AuXCoolpuff]

yeah it's all fair, why should the team have to suffer if one person will be silly mistakes,

CatZ did the right thing

Did we really need this on this forum.. one of the reasons I like this forum is because its drama free and doesn't just replicate tl lol
*edit*
You guys should see TA chat, 100 times worse than this shit LOL
*edit 2*
This is actually not a big deal and people need to get over it. It was a coupla mates shit talking about girls with a nude pic, they somehow got ******* caught and the chick flipped tables n shit. That's all it is. These convos happen every day, perhaps not with nude pics to, but the fact she was nude isn't so much the issue. If it was them discussing a bikini shot or her in short dress would it be nearly as controversial? How this is any of our business I have no idea.

But it adds to the detriment of Destiny so I guess I'm ok with it.

Am I the only one that likes Destiny O.O? He has provided me with pure entertainment in the past.

I mean, if I managed a team I would never take him on - and as a player I don't really watch him to learn anything anymore...but shit he can be entertaining.

Although it wasn't necessarily him, one of the absolute funniest things I have watched was when he streamed episodes of Bob Ross with 3000 people on chat imitating and making comments. Holy shit that was funny.

I've never been a destiny hater. Sure I think he's a dick a lot of the time but he can be fun to watch when I'm bored. That said, it's really no surprise he got kicked. Drama and controversy follow him everywhere he goes and when it starts to threaten the sponsorships you depend on, well I can't blame catz.

My theory on this is that a lot of people who do that don't care too much about standards or behaviour (undoubtedly some do of course) and that they just dislike Destiny and view this as the only way to effectively get at him.

That's my problem with this. People will start to realise "hey, we don't like this guy and we can **** him over professionally. Let's do this to everyone we don't like!" -- sponsors will start receiving a tonne of negative feedback with no basis and people will get fucked over by it. Even if you don't like Destiny, this is bullshit.

Destiny is a scumbag, and Bluetea ain't a lot better.

Sharing intimate photos without the persons consent is a seriously fucked up thing to do, be it with your friends or on twitter.

What Destiny did was wrong sure, but what Bluetea did in response was completely unwarranted and immature. Destiny showed 2 of his closest friends, Bluetea showed thousands and thousands of twitter followers... I mean you've gotta feel sorry for the guy...

I actually like destiny he is funny to watch and if he put his mind to it he could be a great sc2 player, what happened is kinda f***** up for destiny as he shared the pic of blueteas body to 2 of the ROOT members and because one of the members leaked the convo to her, bluetea went on his hotmail and changed all his passwords to his twitter and more its a selfish act and like he said he doesn't care if 35+ thousand has seen his dick he doesn't care what it looks like, i hope he does well in the future and get into a better team, i think idra is more of a dick then what destiny is

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned bro.

Because having someone who regularly gets stream viewers and attention like he does is great for any team to show to sponsors.

If only he'd not get into trouble like this.

It's a shame to see this happen. Especially since I didn't mind watching Destiny but I have lost a bit of respect for him now.

mGGDaedalus:

how well did you actually know destiny that this causes a drop in respect? o.o

[JiNxXx]

I was actually browsing twitter when that post came up.

"oh look a twitt by destiny with an image attached, I wonder what I could be... oh it's his dick. fantastic"

don't blame root for removing him from the clan, negative publicity like this is only going to hurt them in the long run.

What I don't like to see is people who think it's alright to spam sponsors with emails claiming this, that and the other. It's getting a bit ridiculous now, anytime someone does something wrong in the 'pro scene', everyone feels the need to hop onto hotmail and blast sponsors with posts exclaiming their dismay that this player did something wrong.

[AxSGRiM]

Although what Destiny did was wrong, I feel like people should stop contacting sponsors because it could be more detrimental for ROOT than Destiny himself. Destiny didn't benefit from ROOT but previous to this ROOT benefited from having Destiny, due to his large fan base. However, when we start contacting sponsors we are doing things detrimental to the scene so I wish we would start contacting CatZ and stuff instead of making the sponsors seriously consider taking away their sponsorship deals.

[SmirkToT]

there are many racist in SEA too, but just scene too small that no one care.
Didn't many of you frame other races?

but this time his dick put him closer to the edge

Contacting sponsors is more of an act of trolling and being an asshole rather than actually trying to make a change to the players behaviour. It's quite an extreme measure.

[SleekDaElite]

I must be honest and say i smiled when i read about this

[SLCN.Kez]

Errr can I ask how this is actually destiny's fault? I'm lead to believe events went like this:
Destiny is talking in private skype chat with 2 mates, talks shit with friends about this chick blah blah blah shows them naked pic that she willingly sent him.
This chick then finds out, so hacks his twitter fb and social media and posts naked pictures of him to thousands of people, exposing his privacy to literally anyone who would want to see, and DESTINY is the one who gets in major shit and trouble for this?
If the genders and roles were reversed destiny would be ******* crucified. Could you imagine the shit storm he would get if some chick was shit talking him to 2 her of her friends with a naked pic, then he hacks her twitter/fb and posts naked pics of her to thousands of people?
This is people jumping on a another sensationalistic bandwagon.
I'm not advocating what destiny did with his mates in the skype chat was all lovey dovey roses and hes completely 100% innocent, but in no way NEAR does the punishment fit the crime, nor 95% of the blame being put onto him either.

[Snx.FigJig]

It's mainly that he sent the photos, not just talked to them. And from what I've read Bluetea already had destiny's passwords to his accounts as he gave her the password (uses the same password for all his accounts). Don't quote me on that though. I think it's just not this that has resulted in this, it's everything else on top of this. This was just the last straw.

[SLCN.Kez]

I know i mentioned the photo before. She went into his private accounts this time without consent. She consented to sending him the photos. And he only showed TWO people.
People getting way to mad way to soon without considering everything purely because its destiny

[Snx.FigJig]

Yea I know, but I think she would've trusted him and be implied to not show others, even if it was only 2. She is understandably angry. Both did wrong things, but yea, as I said it was just the last straw for Destiny and was just the act that caused him to get booted, I think CatZ was just fed up with all the drama Destiny has brought in general and decided to just end it.

[AxSGRiM]

You guys kinda missed the chatlogs of Destiny too

[Paroxysm]

OK for one, I personally think it is completely wrong of destiny to send the pics. Talking about it without disclosing a name or pictures is OK, but of all the girls that have sent me nudes, I have not once shown someone else. Why? Respect. Do unto others what you would expect others to do to you. Common principle of life, don't abuse it. He deserves what he got as far as I am concerned, and she is stupid for sending them to him.

What drama had he brought to root since he joined? This is not a terrible thing destiny did. He and mates were talking as friends do in private, like millions of others do, girls and guys, and was unlucky what he said got exposed.

Um....

I know if I were to share naked pictures of my partner with a group of mates getting my twitter account hacked would be the ******* LEAST of my worries. I'd be much more concerned for my physical well being.

thats hardly a reason for this to be his fault, and I think he paid his dues, and even that what happened before I don't think was all that bad, just a difference of opinion on language.

I personally like Destiny, He's unique, outspoken and very, very charismatic because he has a brilliant grasp of language.

What he did, was stupid... very stupid, you have to respect someone's privacy when they've given you something that personal, but it's ok to talk about it imo. I think everyone agrees that he shouldnt have shared the pics, but what she did, is potentially career breaking.

I think bluetea's the bigger villian in this film.

I would have to agree.
Its very common that girls react this way, and that we dont really see it as "her fault" when she is being immature over reacting. The pics werent shared, so BluTea was never in harm. What she did she did completely out of jealousy and spite.

I have lots o nudes sent by girls that I talk about with friends, but none of them would ever post them online, its just talking shit,
not ill-intentioned hacking and exposure like bluteas actions were.
You can clearly see that what she first reacts to and writes in the OT is:
"he said my face didnt match my body",
she didnt really care that much about the actual pics, and they have already been taken down. Destiny is fired and has his penis all over the net.
Who over-reacted?
