I admit Boostio and Demon1 are getting a bit unnecessary but can't believe people are calling Boostio racist for saying "EDG is good for a Chinese team." These types of statements seem pretty common trashtalk in other esports.
pugboy [#2]literally don't gaf its so boring just let people shit talk anything is drama to you guys its like grade 5 girls
I just called it drama for the lack of a better word, I guess "discourse" would be better
Simp4S0m [#7]Blud said new. I was expecting something juicy bro I thought something happened today😭
It was about 20-23 hrs ago, I don't think it's that old and I didn't see a thread about it
Asuna_Yuuki [#10]Nah that isn’t racist at all
It's definitely not meant to be racist but the way he put it can make people assume that he's saying "All chinese people are shit *at the game" by saying "good for a Chinese team".
Stupid af. If anything the assumption that different skill levels is because of the fact that they're Chinese, and not because the Chinese scene is new is kinda telling. Also saying, "I'm not calling Boostio racist" after saying what he said is racist is cringe. Don't have such a strong opinion in your first tweet if you're just going to walk it back in 10 min.

This is the reasoning I thought most people would understand. The only way you can interpret what Boostio said as racist is if you take it out of context and just use that specific sentence. It would be racist if he said they were garbage at the game because they were Chinese, but instead it is because the region is newer.

No. U take it way too far. It simply mean that EDG is pretty good for a region that just recently got the game.

I'm not saying it's racist. I'm saying that it can be taken out of context if people just look at the specific sentence.

100% agree. It would be like if V1 only missed out on challengers by one game, it would be fair to say they did well for a GC team because women in esports tend to start playing later in life. It's a mitigating circumstance that can turn what normally would be considered a failure into an accomplishment when you take into account the greater context.

This may be a little unhinged, but after rereading the tweet, this person seems actually pathetic. Saying Boostio's actual character is slipping out when he says something she thinks is racist...
Thank God for the block/mute button.

Fr bro. These people who assume it’s racism are the racist one. I see it happen a lot these mfs are just projecting

I had her muted for a while, don't remember what it was for but she commented on some random Valorant drama in the past

Best decision this week
I was having fun at the strip club. Until I looked up, it was Demon1. He took out a knife and 1 tapped me unconscious.
When I woke up I was chained in a col and dirty room. He was streaming valorant to twitch, somehow he managed to get 15 aces in 1 round while telling his girlfriend "you like that". He started shooting bodies in real life and he said that I was next.
I realized the chains were made out of toilet paper, so quickly I started licking the paper and looking for an exit. As soon as I exited the building I saw a horde of angry Chinese people charging at the building calling him a toxic piece of shit. I didn't care so I ran out, as soon as I thought I got away I felt his hand on my shoulder "you ain't going anywhere son"
He updrafted into the air while screaming "Watch this" and he managed to tap everyone in the crowd.
I was afraid, I saw Chinese parts all around me. He started waking towards me, and I was shaking in fear. After a while he turned back into his house.
Turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding, this whole time he thought that i was an of female and he wanted to eat me. The disappointment on his face when he realized the mistake he had done was palpable, a tangible testament to the depth of his sorrow.
