Overwatch: Spieler beendet nach rassistischen Äußerungen seine Karriere

Für Overwatch-Profi Matt ‚Dellor‘ Vaughn ist die eSport-Karriere vorbei. Nachdem ein Clip bei YouTube auftauchte, in dem er seine Mitspieler 30 Sekunden lang rassistisch beleidigte, wurde sein Vertrag bei Toronto Esports umgehend aufgelöst. Seine Entlassung aus den Diensten seines Teams sehe er ein, so Dellor in einem Statement. Auch wisse er, dass er Mist gebaut hat und kündigte an, nicht mehr in den eSport zurückzukehren Weiterhin betonte er, dass er kein Rassist sei und um seine Aggressions-Probleme wisse.

Statement Ryan Pallet, Präsident Toronto eSports Club

Toronto Esports is an organization built on inclusivity, and we have always had a zero- tolerance policy for any forms of discrimination. Immediately upon learning of the incident, the player was interviewed, admitted to the offence, and was notified that his contract with the organization was being terminated.

Statement Matt ‚Dellor‘ Vaughn

I fucked up and deserve to be dropped from Toronto Esports, I won’t try to argue or make an excuse, I don’t have any. I just want people to know what happened. I was having a really bad day. Didn’t get much sleep, twitch wouldn’t work for 2 hours after I woke up, and once it finally did, my internet was lagging. So I was pretty upset from the moment I woke up.
Then I get into a game against a widowmaker who is blatantly cheating. Everything was whatever, I’ve dealt with cheaters before, but when him and his entire team, and MY entire team start talking shit, it gets to me. I snapped. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I have anger problems.
The only thing I can say is that despite me using that word, I am not a racist. I was extremely upset, and I was trying to make the person I was angry with upset as well, and so I said the most offensive thing that came to mind.
I fucked up, I have no excuse. Toronto Esports is a great organization and I am sorry to them for tarnishing their name. I’ve put my entire life into gaming/esports and this has been a massive wake up call.
