German Players Sintolol and P4wnyhof Disqualified From Global Games
A lot of drama has surrounded the Global Games since it's first announcement, and once again recently when each countries winners were announced. Two days ago Sebastian "Forsen" Fors conceded his spot in the Swedish team due to Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage making it into the German team, a promise he made to his community back when the event was announced.
Now, not even a week after the winners have been announced Blizzard released a new statement, disqualifying both Thomas “Sintolol” Zimmer and Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage from participation in the German team due to inappropriate and unsportsmanlike comments.
As of now it's unclear which players will be replacing them.
Quote from BlizzardDear community,
In the light of recent, inappropriate, and unsportsmanlike comments made by Thomas “Sintolol” Zimmer and Mats “P4wnyhof” Kathage, we have decided to rescind their invitation to represent Team Germany in the upcoming Hearthstone Global Games.
We’re in the process of identifying replacement players, and will reach out to them privately.

The money involved in Twitch/YouTube streaming and social media pimping are polluting gaming communities like crazy. If people want to make money on the backs of their favorite games, they should either go with pro competition, or get a journalism degree and write about games for a living. I'm probably just being a crotchety old guy, but sometimes when I look at modern video game culture, I think it sucks and wish there wasn't all this new, tertiary monetary incentive. Everybody wants a hand in the cookie jar, I guess.

Posted Apr 1, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)P4wnyhof mocked Sintolol by laughing about how he's supposedly has two dads, Sintolol in turn called P4wnyhof mentally defective and said that he understands why Hitler killed people like him.
Good Riddance IMO.

Posted Mar 31, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)How is that legal? By announcing official lists of players eligible for voting and officially setting the rules for choosing country representatives, a legally binding contract was formed. You can't one-sidely revoke this contract. P4wnyhof and Sintolol can easily sue for damages in German court.

Posted Mar 31, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Actually, if you visit the Hearthstone Global Games rules, you will see that Blizzard is covered legally by sections 6.1(a), 6.3(b), 6.4(b), and 6.11 covers the disciplinary action Blizzard can take. The players are required by contract to abide by these rules.
I mean, you're right ... they could sue, but they would lose.
The rule book PDF is here https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/gallery/l2/L2BQY8RCZBAD1486002036603.pdf (you will find the juicy stuff on pages 20 and 21)

Posted Mar 31, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)normally i watch him too but he really deserved this after those comments.. Always talks about how he doesn't like "pro-player status" and when he technically becomes one his greed ruined everything for him.

Posted Mar 30, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)I got permabanned from p4wny's stream for saying "he looks fat". This is the first stream that you can get a permaban for this. I talked with the mods and fought a bit. They didn't want to accept how retardedly wrong they were and they said "Even if you are right, we won't unban you because of your cocky attitude". Well guess what mr mod. You totally know nothing so everyone's knowledge can seem cocky to you. Everyday people are making some dirty jokes about kripp and her gf but no one really gets banned. Even on curse program. And kripp = 1000xp4wny. He worths nothing but his mods are acting like that's such a unique stream. The only reason he gets viewers is he is opening stream when every other big streamers are off. So yeah. Take it in ya ;)
It's not a secret that he uses bots and automated twitch accounts. Totally trolling the hearthstone page on twitch everyday with fake viewers and it bothers me to see his face on the first page.

Posted Mar 30, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Based on what i read you should be banned... I dont watch that guy but you seem to think that it is ok to be rude to people and think that they are "oh so funny".
You called a person fat (the owner of the channel)... got banned. Why would such a person even give a shit about what you want and "if it is right" or not to bann you? YOU are worth NOTHING to him...
I also dont understand why people are so hurt about what he does (if he does it). He has no job.. do you think he makes 100 fake subs to pay taxes? In what world does this make any sense? 1000 or 20000 viewers... he has to pay rent from donations and subs,... not from viewers.

Posted Mar 30, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)You could substitute P4wny's name with any hearthstone streamer, and it would be just as true.

Posted Mar 30, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)Though there are a few exceptions. Some popular streamers are really humble, such as Savjz and Kibler off the top of my head.

Posted Mar 30, 2017 (Aggro Downfall)I got permabanned from p4wny's stream for jokingly asking if anyone watching was a viewbot. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned.
