After all the drama that's been going on with the Valor tournament, Tasteless felt the need to make a statement. Instead of just making some response in a thread that will get washed away, a more indepth video was made.

Verrry nice. Thanks Dan, checking it out now.

EDIT: Exactly as I expected: Lipton collects the reps and distributes them. You should have replayed the fucking game. This happens in WGTCL all the time.

It all makes sense.

Except the decision to film it outside on the busy street. Would it have been really sketchy to film it in a quieter room? I think this should be the new controversy.

What are you talking about. I had no problems hearing what Tasteless said.

Good call by Tasteless. He didn't have to do this but did so anyway to clear up any confusion. Big props.

Very professional response by Tasteless. Hopefully Strelok comes back into the tournament and finishes

I also think that Strelok should just come back to the tournament and play, after all his point is already made in the other thread and was discussed and seen by many people.

Tasteless is clearly doing his best for things to go smoothly and although I think he kind of missed the point that Strelok was trying to make, there is just no point in discussing it any further as we know that he would have made a good decision in the first place if he had been there.

First off, props to Tasteless for giving us his side of this story.

The gist of this video is that Tasteless denies that Lipton or Daniel Lee ever gave Strelok a "final decision". His implication is that Strelok either totally misinterpreted Lipton and Daniel Lee, or that Strelok understood their decision was not final and was simply lying in his OP here.

I'm not sure how to reconcile this with the fact that both Strelok (biased) and Artosis (unbiased) wrote that Lipton / "admins" had issued a "decision" on the disconnect.

having read and hear both sides of it, i hate to say this but, I believe that Strelok is in the right here. The decision should have been made asap and since this was not possible, then SDM's decision should have been final.

If they agree that SDM and Lipton do not have the know how or authority to make a tournament decision such as this they should have simply asked both players to bear with them and wait till Tasteless was available to make a verdict. this was not the case afaik.

I also agree that the standard would be to replay the game of the disconnect as opposed to the entire match, but once SDM stated the entire set would be replayed, independently of whether or not he said "final decision", it is exactly that, unless clearly stated otherwise.

I thank tasteless for giving us his side of it, and i understand he is in a difficult position of deciding whether to retract what the others decided (wrongly), or to do what should have been done in the first place, but in the process retracting their authority.

I doubt it was a "work in progress" as Tasteless said. I think a decision was made, but was taken back when Artosis saw the replays and contacted Tasteless. Why would Strelok just out right lie about that? He's shown no history of doing that. IMO, he seems like the most honest in this whole debacle.

Good to hear it from the people in charge here. Nick gives some good clarity to the situation and it's pretty clear they made the right call. Its too bad Strelok couldn't accept that I was rooting for him to do well.
I'd turn gay for Baby.... wait, that came out wrong.

Tasteless stressed "Final" quite a few times, obviously there were initial decisions that had to be done (i.e Lipton making a decision on the spot with X help) and after further discussion it would lead to a Final Decision.

It's been a communication problem from the start, and I cant see how one shouldnt take this as a learning experience, and just brush it off and play the fucking game from now on.
