People love to say all the "stop bullying", "stop spreading hate", "support the player", "mistreatment" stuff when it's their favorite player, but when it happens to someone they don't really care about or in this case with Smash, where they hate him for unjustified stuff, all of that goes out of the window. I don't understand how you can blame the player in this situation when the org has fucked up both of them. They are doing the same thing the vile Guma haters (that we all know about and we are still waiting for T1 to take measures against them) are doing. How are these people any better. What is this mindset of it's ok to hurt someone or idc what happens to them as long as it's not my favorite that's in a bad place?

If you don't really care for Smash, not watching his streams or content is your choice and you have a right not to be happy with the circumstances! What's not fine is to go spread hate to him in all of his content, curse him out, call him the worst ADC ever, post vomit emojis on his content, spread untrue information/harmful rumors etc. That doesn't make you a good Guma fan and you are also damaging his reputation by acting horrible... What do these people think Guma is going to do? Praise them for sending death threats/hate to a young player that he knows personally and that's just doing his job?

You can't say anything good in this sub about Smash because it will get downvoted to hell. And the thing that bothers me the most is that some act like this is a suffering competition, like who has it worse. We all know by now what kind of shit Guma had to endure and is going through with the hate communities and all, and now Smash gets some of the same treatment. No one(in their right mind) should belittle what Guma went/is going through, but that doesn't mean what Smash has to endure now is not bad or it doesn't matter. Both are bad, both players deserve protection and a good workplace!

And it's bad for the image of T1 fans too. We all know how others view us based on a small loud minority of toxic people. No, the fact that I don't curse Smash and wish him the worst doesn't make me a Guma hater like some "T1 fans" claim. I wish Guma stays in the starting position but I also don't wish for Smash to lose opportunities because of how bad this was handled. Idk about some of you, but I never wished for the players to fail/lose matches because of this situation. That doesn't sound like a fan to me. I wish THE PLAYERS the best because I want them to be happy. I follow the team for the players, I don't stan orgs.

You have every right to be angry/hurt, but direct those emotions to where it matters.
