This isn't the first time he's done this either. Just a bit upsetting to me when TeamLiquid staff are so vehemently opposed to supporting up and coming players. Even r1ch acted like this on twitter @Unijk @DeMusliM @GennaBain Well Genna wouldn't have had to act this way if Demuslim and Moosegills didn't threaten to fuck up the tourney. | ||

[EG] DeMusliMRC: Sorry If that happens I forfeit You're choice Your* ... [EG] DeMusliMRC: My problem is that, I didn't receive an email or time either, but I turned up correctly, Have been playing my matches over the course of the last 4 hours / waiting most of the time As have everybody else Those who fail to do so, for what ever reason Should be dealt with equally And he was forfeited, me and Moosegills are 1-1 in our series now After 40 minutes of playing we got msged - that we had to end the series Never mind the initial wait for Miya Meaning my match with moosegills be void entirely, I have to go back to waiting for an hour, moosegills has to then PLAY a player that he already waited for for 2 hours, then started playing a bo3 As he got walkovered Even if it's once again because of an MLG complication, not the best sportmanship from Demuslim. Yet he was so happy to brag about his qualification later on twitter while he used this opportunity to dodge a potentially better than him Korean player. I am glad the SC2 scene has people like Genna and Totalbiscuit who did more in 6 months than most in years. I didn't think they could bring so much to this scene. They are really improving our microcosm with their integrity, ethics and tournaments. Some larger and wealthier structures should take example. | ||

Genna, you acted admirably. You assumed responsibility when you didn't have to, which is a rare character trait to see! Mad props to you. | ||

This situation had nothing to do with that particular topic in the first place. | ||

I see no oppositon to an up and coming player here. | ||

This has only happened at live tournaments for me, but I assume the same happens with tournaments run through gamebattles. As much as it is a players' responsibility to know and arrive at the correct time, the inconsistency of MLG's scheduling is a huge flaw that has been rampant for years. I do not particularly blame Miya for this situation, but it is simply horrible for any player. I also believe Moosegills and DemusliM had a RIGHT to threaten to forfeit, after the way the situation unfolded, as DeMusliM, for one has been backed by his own team as deserving an invite to Premier division, I can't imagine he is entirely happy with MLG's workings right now. Moosegills on the other hand is an up and comer who was possibly 1 game from qualifying for the biggest league he may ever get a chance to play in, and being told he has to go back in time and lose all previous results would totally kill your mindset. The players in this situation had a justified aggression towards the situation, I agree, and would have done what they did in the same situation I would also like to say that, having been a past competitor, I have a huge amount of respect for MLG, and think that they do the very best they can. In my opinion they are not some greedy money hungry company that is out to destroy esports. They are simply a company led by an esports fanatic (who hates the word esports) that is trying pretty damn hard to make things work. Well that's my rant. Cheers. | ||

It's as if he is purposefully misunderstanding Gills POV. | ||

In the end there's nobody to blame except MLG, once again. Get your shit together ffs. This is supposed to be a glorious event to show off SC2 to the world and the amount of fuckups I'm constantly reading about concerning WCS America is far outweighing the positive news. | ||
