Freedom of speech ends with hate speech, there's a thin line between the two, the staff aren't trained in law, they don't have knowledge of precident not do they have an insight into the individuals intent or motivation. All they can do is try be consistant with their rulings and try keep the chat appropriate for everyone so that people dont feel attacked or unwelcome when they play this game. I understand that this may seem soft or laughable to many, but try understand that a lot of the community who play this game are young, and may not be equipped with the same mental fortitutde to realise "hey calling everyone the n word isnt the best idea". You're response that of "If you get offended by words you're nothing more than an offense to the gene pool (imo)" makes me cringe too hard tbh. Of course people can be insulted by words, we are by our very nature emotional beings, as such words can have a heavy influence on our psychology, especially if the words are reaffirmations of discriminatory things that have been infused into society at large. tl;dr Staff aren't lawyers, but they have to be consistent and try help create environment where everyone is welcome and feel safe. Yo, shut up, you're from South Africa right? You're actually insane if you are this nonchalant about racism, and the impact of racism. Keep your eyes open if you want to see the impact racism has had on our country, those wounds ain't mending themselves any time soon. Especially if people continue sprouting this kind of trash.

tbh forf should pay jj, hiding behind a technicality like that is meh, though I guess it just means more salt in the salty suite

Reminder this is this Saturday, be sure to go find your Saturday night dates

I mean I just donated 17m to a tournament for the community, this isnt about the money, its about the fact that the players who worked hard throughout this season of psl are being shortchanged because either people are being egotistical or they just don't care about the efforts of others. I'll let you decide which one

Especially considering that the prize pool wasn't particularly great to begin with this season, I don't really think its fair to take money from there for this. I understand you all want to generate hype, but this is more demoralizing than anything tbh. The "hype" would still be here(if not more so) if the battles were wagers, at least the you stand to risk something.

Holy heckers, @aftershocker just threw an extra 10m to the prize pool! You guys dont wanna miss this tour
