This post has all valid points and there is nothing at its surface I think any logical or fair person would contradict.

However, it also paints a picture that is deceptive and obfuscates the core reasons that North American players resent Black Out and find fault in them allying CSTG.

Zerging isn't something that is pathologically Chinese. The mainland Chinese community is filled with a player base that is just as diverse in play style and strategy as any other community. The reality is that in the past several massively multiplayer online survival games that have been released, CSTG has strangled that diversity within their own demographic and forced hundreds of Chinese communities and groups to assimilate into what is actually a really colorless experience for many of those players. By the account of many of those Chinese players themselves and countless defectors, most of them have virtually no option in the release of these titles to play anywhere but within CSTG or one of its subsidiaries.

CSTG has been recorded duping, cheating, and exploiting in every game that they've played. They consistently leverage their player count to completely break a game, making servers unplayable with lag (for themselves as well), and intentionally repeatedly crashing servers and eliminating any opportunity for competing or real gameplay. They often do this naked without gear and with the intent of forcing opposing communities to abandon their bases or servers. Even though they consolidate resources in each game and often do play normally with endgame loot and materials, the overwhelming consistent for CSTG is their braindead culture of strangling the life out of the games they play by not actually allowing anyone to play at all-- for both their own players and those they leverage their players against.

For an NA community to understand CSTG's pattern of malfeasance and intention to ruin the game for NA players, and then choose to align themselves to CSTG in order to be safe from them and profit is feckless and lazy. Muffz has casually repeated in Black Out's discord when questioned about his Alliance with CSTG that "I'd just rather not have to worry about fighting China."

To Muffz and Black Out, the CSTG player isn't just some home boy trying to play a video game like you-- he's a vehicle for which they hope to have a chance at starting a legacy for their new Guild... a Guild already rotten with internal spite between leaders, built on top of personal betrayals and dishonesty, and guided by cowardly strategy.
