Dota 2 caster has unfortunate slip-up with team name at DreamLeague S13 ESL \/ WePlay!The inevitable has happened \u2014 Dota 2 caster Austin \u2018Capitalist\u2019 Walsh had a massive slip-up with Team Nigma\u2019s name at the DreamLeague Season 13 Major, instead saying the n-word live on broadcast. When Kuro \u2018KuroKy\u2019 Salehi Takhasomi announced that the former Team Liquid roster would be playing under their own Team Nigma banner, there was cause for concern about the team\u2019s name. Its startling resemblance to the n-word led to a variety of memes being spawned, and high stakes for the casters to not slip-up. While there\u2019s been a few close calls, at the DreamLeague Season 13 Major, a big one was unfortunately slipped by Capitalist as he was looking over the bracket. \u201cEvil Geniuses looking a little weak in the groups, and so was Vici Gaming, but both of them managed to triumph in this upper bracket,\u201d he said. \u201cMoving forward, with EG taking down Team [Nigma], it\u2019s like a huge win.\u201d The caster immediately corrected himself after the slip-up, but it did bring out a nervous cough from his co-caster on the desk out of shot. It also wasn\u2019t done with any malice, but that didn\u2019t stop the community from embracing the memes. Twitch chat exploded into a flurry of TriHard and KEKW emotes as the obvious mistake didn\u2019t get past the community\u2019s ears. It also hit the front page of \/r\/livestreamfail on Reddit, with many pundits saying it was only a matter of time. \u201cThe inevitable finally happened,\u201d mentioned user \u2018Omniwar,\u2019 while others have joked it\u2019s all just a conspiracy from Kuroky to try and get casters tongue-tied. \u201cWith Kuro\u2019s team name, this slip up was bound to happen at some point,\u201d said \u2018RoyalStraightFlush\u2019. \u201cI\u2019m inclined to believe this is some sick trolly game by Kuroky.\u201d Comment byu\/uulnee0908 from discussion inLivestreamFail Team Nigma lost earlier in the day to Evil Geniuses in a tight 2-1 set, being knocked down to the lower bracket of the major to face off against Peruvian team Beastcoast. If they make it through the South American squad, they\u2019ll face off against the winner of Invictus Gaming and Aster. It\u2019s unlikely Capitalist will be reprimanded for the unintended misspeak, but he will definitely be watching himself to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
