stick it it. either you commit to such a tour or you don't is my dogma. It's fair to the other players and only fair to yourself. Myself, im 5-6 in TLS with no won Bo3 yet (only walkovers) but i intend to play my best until the last game is done! Cheers to you, you still have a fine shot at makin top 32

Sounds like you are telling yourself not to practise, so you wont be upset when you lose.

Every single thing you wrote relates to you trying to lose, but still winning.

Dont understand why you would sign up for it, if this is your attitude, unless you are just taking the uninspired route of expecting to lose and to fail, so that when it happens it won't have any real effect, as it is what you wanted/expected.

IDK, dont see the point in participating in a competitive event if you are going to tell yourself you aren't going to try to win. If you are so worried about losing, maybe you shouldn't have bothered with competing.

Maybe I sound rude... but I'll summarize how this reads, "Oh, a big BW tournament, cool! Oh wow, $2,000! Eh, I don't have any real chance at the $2,000 anyways, so why try. If I refuse to become invested in this/trying to win, I won't be upset when I lose, and realize I won't be getting $2,000."

Yeah, I like reading your posts because they're entertaining and well-written but I have to agree with the others here. Your tone comes off as meek. Do or do not, there is no try (haha).

Well if anyone is ineterested, the prize split is:800 $ for first place, then 400/250/150/100/100/100/100 for the other top 8 placements.

I played in a tournament once and back then I didnt want to win either. I played for fun, because SC is a game. Maybe he just enjoys some good SC and he knows that he will get it in the TLS. Even if he doesnt try to win he can still enjoy the game.
