And everyone else in the room at the time was terminated. Which was the amazing part that totally destroyed any attempt at high ground.

  Wrong, the casters were fired because they knew what was going to transpire and actively let it happen.

    I don't think that's true, I believe the casters have said Blitzchung showed up on the live interview stream (it was remote) wearing the gas mask unexpectedly. If someone is to cut him off and not let it happen, it's the job of the production crew. The job of the casters is to try to keep things entertaining and on the rails when the camera's live on them. It's not fair to punish casters for improvising a response.

Here's a translation of what was said by the casters. https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/dfs7aw/taiwanese_caster_who_got_fired_by_blizzard_in/f35ngnf/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/dfs7a... So many mistruths being spread and believed as facts, it's sad really.

        Your interpretation is not in contradiction to mine, and I had watched the video. I'm saying that the casters didn't know before the interview started that Blitzchung would wear a gas mask to it. You're saying that during the interview they encouraged him. That's true. But a caster doesn't have many other options at that point, their main job is to keep things genial and entertaining. They are not the production team, who could have cut away from the interview at any time -- even before the casters started responding. The blame goes to production.
