“Accidentally” playing foolishly, the Esports player “reported” the whole corporation
A serious scandal that broke out in the international eSports village when Lucas “Diaslucasbr” Dias – a professional player Rainbow Six Siege of Team Liquid – posted a GIF image with sensitive content related to two atomic bombs ever dropped to Japan. This lack of thinking has quickly caused serious consequences, not only for the player itself but also directly affecting the entire Liquid team organization.
The controversial post by the Diaslucasbr player of the Liquid team of Rainbow Six Siege.
Specifically, in a recent post on social networking platform X (Twitter), Dias used GIF images to describe mushroom clouds. Although the team later said it was only GIF that described Dias's explosive emotions, but it was all too late. In the latest developments, Dias deleted the post and apologized but the Honda – the main funding group for the entire team organization Liquid has retreated. Honda still decided to terminate the sponsorship contract on the grounds that “inappropriate behavior affects the brand image”.
For those who do not know, this cooperation has lasted for many years and the amount of money that Honda spent has reached several million dollars (equivalent to hundreds of billion dong). It can be said that this damage is “unprecedented” and greatly affects.
Honda immediately stopped cooperating with Team Liquid.
Perhaps everyone knows, the atomic bombs that come to Japan are one of the darkest events in modern history and still leaves deep pain in the hearts of Japanese people and those who love peace in the world to this day. The post itself also encountered a wave of intense protest from the international community.
Esports players and the team will face the future very gloomy
The loss of Honda – a great and influential partner – is not just a strong blow on the financial team of the Liquid team of the Rainbow Six Siege in particular but the whole corporation in general. Some sources say the squad may have to change personnel and face difficulties in finding new sponsors. In the context of fierce competition of eSports, such fluctuations can directly affect the performance and long -term plans of the organization.
Diaslucasbr may end a career at TL.
Dias himself, despite being fined 4 months of salary and had to go back to school of conduct rules, it was almost certain that he would “fly” when the damage he caused to the organization was too big and this could affect the future career path of this player. For young players, especially those who represent big organizations, personal behavior is no longer a private affair – because the price of a “post” wrong time can push the whole career into the abyss.
