Alright, paged, and I'm going to bed GSL is over. Wrapping up every possible "but this is why" so when I wake up, I don't see the same ***being repeated.
A) One Guy, CEO @ EVO paid a teen to see his genitals 20 years ago. That is the only relevant fact. This is not an opinion. Other misconduct may have happened. It's still one person, who is removed from the company.
B) It is completely irrelevant no matter how many independent persons, regardless of how much you feel they are "the face of their game" assaulted other independent persons. It has nothing to do with EVO.
C) The casters are rapists too! Don't need them. It's not a deal breaker.
D) Well, it's last minute and they couldn't possibly get everyone to come back. It's ONLINE. There is no "come back".
E) It's. O.N.L.I.N.E. There can be no "new sexual misconduct" that is related to EVO and the tournament, there can be no "Bad PR" What a person does before or after is on them, and is in no way related to EVO.
F) No, a "known rapist" could not win the tournament. No, no one can "disguise themselves" and win.
G) No, no game company can say "you cannot play our game for your online event" There may be restrictions on advertising etc, but they can't stop a game from being played/streamed.
If you come up with anything new, I'm sure that will be wrong too.
All of the allegations are horrific and the accused do deserve to be banned from EVO and/or lawfully punished. EVO can exist and be done without them.
