The problem with huks tweet isn’t ‘wanting Canadians on team Van and team TO is wrong’ it is ’preemptively using diction that specifically assigns blame onto an entire nation (Korea) because they simply have a better pro structure – is born of casual racism and he refuses to see that’.

Literally just say ‘I really wish the two Canadian teams will try out local talent’ or even ‘I am personally rooting for free agents that has to overcome NA’s lackluster talent scouting system to be on the Canadian teams’ and voila! Problem solved jfc

Like it doesn’t matter what the rumours are! Express your disappointment with the lack of care blizzard is putting into t2 and t3 in NA in words that actually places blame onto the system and not in a way that will cause impressionable 13 year olds to rage against Korean players that obviously deserve to be on the big stage just as much as anyone else of the same caliber. Is that like really that difficult?

Sad because Mistakes was constantly compared to [redacted], people would saying things like he had ‘big shoes to fill” when he came on to this roster.

like yes [redacted] was good at the game – but for the entirety of the season, nobody really cared about [redacted]. when uprising had their struggles (i.e there Stage two performance) a lot of the blame was on [redacted].

But then the minute [redacted] gets dropped suddenly he becomes this like god tier perfect player who had a bright future ahead of him. the entire narrative on [redacted] was that it was a shame that he throw it all away. (which is total bs). and everyone conveniently forgets that [redacted] was actually a pretty inconsistent player.

Mistakes got the worst end of this- even though he is leaving the uprising and its sad. I think it could be good for his overall career. he will no longer be compared to [redacted] and he gets a fresh start on a team that actually has chosen him instead of constantly being reminded that he was the 2nd choice.

sorry for long post.
