Imgur album I quickly put together to get a feel for who he is/what he’s usually talking about (when he’s not talking about video games): https://imgur.com/a/pL5Gsro
Other highlights:
- He went on a rant about how much he hated Poland back in 2014 and was banned from all ESL tournaments for a few years: https://dotesports.com/general/news/duncan-shields-thorin-poland-iem-fired-144
- He called Brazilians monkeys (Luminosity were a team at the time composed of only Brazilians): https://archive.is/20160330204732/https://twitter.com/Thooorin/status/715226261396844544
So generally he’s reactionary, and more than that he’s just generally a rude prick. Him and Richard Lewis have been at this for years, but they’ve got connections because they have been in the scene for like two decades or something.
Eventually eSports will reach the limit of how much it can grow with its current climate, at which point the corporations running it will aggressively purge people like Thorin. Hell, the point may be just around the corner, since the OP was apparently triggered by him getting mad that a woman’s league was created for CS:GO.
Polish people were one of the larger cheap labour pools that the UK tapped into before Brexit, and they were looked down on. You underestimate European intra-racism if you think Jews have to be included.
