So KiT was an awesome event all around, and full of hype. But there's something that's been bothering me (and others as well) and needs to be addressed if we're going to keep growing our community.



A major is a fantastic chance to showcase our games and our community spirit. But the commentators need to understand; you are NOT at your local. You are not at your community pizza place or on TYM; you're at a major and you are representing everyone.



Constantly bashing players for being less experienced, less skilled, or playing differently than you would is inexcuseable and it needs to stop. I lnow people think it's funny to call people 'random' and 'Gandhi' and whatever else on stream, and maybe it's cute once, but putting down a player for the entire duration of all his matches on stream (and even afterwards) is ludicrous and will discourage players who are learning from wanting to play onstream.



It made me a little sick to watch it, and I hope it never happens again. I don't care if you saw it on a Capcom stream, we are better than that. The lack of professionalism on the mic is excusable at a local but it ruins opportunities for us on larger stages.



PLEASE think before you open your mouth on a microphone in front of a few thousand people.



Edit: Just to clarify, this doesn't refer to every single person who commentated for KiT -- and this isn't the only major where it 's come up. It's a general issue.
