I've been reading this thread for awhile but didn't make any replies and as a third party to all that's been debated/discussed, it's disheartening to see the lack of professionalism on a public forum.

No doubt gamers will have fears and strive for the top spots, it's all normal, so what point does it make to make such passing comments like "kiasu" on the particular few gamers? Words like this offends people.

As a representative from the organisers, Naka, you have your responsibilities. You can't just say you will say whatever you feel like saying and ignore the organising firm that's backing you as well as the harmony in this forum. If this continues, I'm strongly suggesting to your management to remove you from any forum discussions and to be replaced with someone more professional.

This thread and the thread before this regarding WCG kickoff all started off well and friendly. However, as the discussion progressed, tension also starts to build. The original purpose for any thread is never to create a place for arguments and insults isn't it? For all who are posting to this thread, I hope every individual makes it a point to play their part in ensuring words posted do not get personal. If it's a joke, just take it as a joke. Even if you are displeased and wish to comment, do it properly. Attack the matter, not the person.

Let's all play a part to make these threads a better place.
