That is the only way to eradicate them or otherwise anyone who has ever casted or played at a Dreamhack is unethical by some peoples reasoning as G2A sponsor these events and therefore these people are benefiting by proxy. TB worked on Dreamhack Austin and is very open critic of G2A and their practices, are you saying nor he or any other caster/player should work at or partake in Dreamhack events??? As previously stated it needs direct involvement from Blizzard to ensure G2A has no place at any Blizzard event. Whilst personal sponsorship of a person/ team/ company may reflect poorly on them as entities, how does it reflect on the whole scene that G2A is still affiliated with Dreamhack and therefore the whole foreign scene including all your favourite (non Korean) players/casters. | ||

To be frank, yes. If you don't concur with something, at all, the best you can do is seize support/not participate to demonstrate your stance on that particular topic. | ||

Rifkin gets a lot worse after he has been on the air for 8+ hours. There is a reason why real broadcasters almost never on air for 8+ hours. People track and record the stuff he says when he is overtired and so he gets a bad rap for it. He's apparently unwilling to drop G2A as sponsor and doesn't see what's wrong with it, so I really wouldn't call him 100% ethical. good point. i stand corrected. he is being a bit of a weiner by standing by his G2A sponsorship cash. | ||

To be frank, yes. If you don't concur with something, at all, the best you can do is seize support/not participate to demonstrate your stance on that particular topic. To be honest I agree with you, but in which case the entire western SC2 scene is tainted by dirty money, well at least all who have been to a Dreamhack in the last couple of years. But rather than spread hate for virtually all the casters/players and certainly not single anyone out (i.e. Rifkin, getting hate for G2A sponsor, all are just as bad, even those that contradict themselves, it doesn't matter how much you happen to like people or not.) Surely the best thing to do would be to state to all tournament organisers that partake in affiliated Blizzard events that G2A is an unwelcome sponsor. Clearly Blizzard who put up prize money for said events doesn't give a flying fuck about the ethical practice of company's such as G2A which is a real shame for all the people who have been conned or ripped off by G2A. I wonder if their is anyone left at Blizzard from the Blizzard North days who remembers the struggles the smaller company's go through. It seems not at the moment, or they simply just don't care. Take the wow sub's and buy more yachts, pump out crap expansions, don't fix servers but buy more yachts.... | ||
