thorin isnt gay afaik, he has probably banged dozens of korean hookers. i like him, at least he isnt boring. hes eloquent. but it was clear from since the major was announced that he wouldnt be anywhere near the qualifier or the main event. no poland for thorin, he cba to get murdered.

hes toxic and provocating pro players that are in slump thats why they dont invite him anymore LUL

toxic? debatable. its just banter, get over it. esports doesnt have to be a safe space. beyond the banter what he does is criticize players that are in a slump. thats his job. u cant fault him for being honest and not sugarcoating things. they do invite him to pretty much every event. cologne didnt work out for him schedule-wise and he doesnt want to go to poland for fear of getting murdered bcs polaks hate him.

2017-06-24 18:26

nah, just some organizers dont like to work with him because of his controversies. Nobody cares about what he says about players

2017-06-24 21:06

NO DAZED NO PARTY

Nice

nice will be awesome! Good luck boys! We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

Dazed can't attend Valve sponsored events due to the ban.

Oh really ? This is shit to be honest, thats just dumb.

Yeah, their statement says that they're banned from attending all valve sponsored events so I guess it covers being an analyst as well.

2017-06-23 21:29

yep, they cant even go there as a spectator

2017-06-23 21:39

Source for that lol. I understand that you can't be a commentator but you should surely be able to go there as a spectator

2017-06-24 14:25

cant find it anywhere, but at the time i remember people were talking about it, maybe they can go as spectators, but im pretty sure steel wanted to go to cologne 2016 and he couldnt because of the throw, but maybe im wrong

2017-06-24 14:44

2017-06-23 20:33

I am always surprised that RedEye gets to host things. He is really bad no matter if it is CSGO or Dota2 or anything else. Is he the owner of something that makes him able to put himself in as host?

2017-06-24 18:10

Natu FUCK
