StarCraft 2 Player Removed From Match Due To Tweet

starcraft 2Words do carry a whole lot of weight, and just because one is on the Internet, this does not mean that one would be able to say anything and everything that he or she likes – there is still an element of responsibility attached to the entire situation. Professional StarCraft 2 player Mihaylo Hayda has been booted from a qualifying match after he tweeted that he will “rape” his female opponent in their match.

On Hayda’s personal Twitter account, it was alleged that some time during the qualifying match for the Fragbite Masters Season Three tournament, he tweeted,Going to rape some girl soon #fragbitemasters”. Needless to say, his opponent, a certain Madeleine Leander, has labeled Hayda’s statements as “scary.”

Leander shared, “I was invited to play in the tournament Fragbite Masters. My first reaction was ‘but I’m not good enough’. It was however not the first time an underdog was invited to a tournament. It would be stupid to say no, I thought. I saw it as chance and said yes. A few minutes into the first map the game was paused. I had no idea why but it was because of the tweet. The game went on and I lost 0-2. When the match was over I saw this. A tweet with the text ‘Going to rape some girl soon #fragbitemasters’ written by my opponent. I don’t even know what to say. I was very surprised to say the least. This coming from a pro player is scary. The organizers did what they could. They asked Kas to apologize and talked about it after.”

Hayda did apologize publicly later on though, tweeting, “Sorry to everyone, sometimes i really doing stupid tweets, hate myself for that :( sorry”.
