Smuft and ElkY ran a ladder-into-tournament through WGT called the World Dream Tour, with a $20 buy-in to play. The prize was a 3-month stay in Korea (expenses paid) and all the benefits of being on the Dream Team. A lot of shit came out of it. First, ElkY and Smuft sponsored the tournament without running it by their head coach first, and he didn't like the idea so the prize wasn't exactly what it was advertised (although this came to light later in chronology, just putting it out there). Then there was controversy when Assem abused to get into top 32 leaving another player out, and Smuft said "I've decided Assem is in, end of discussion" pretty much. Then there was ilnp vs. ret, where ilnp disced in game 3, and there was a bunch of shit surrounding that (apparently at that time, game points decided the winner in the event of a disconnect, but all hell broke loose). Then it was later discovered that ilnp had double the APM the entire tournament and much better hotkey usage, leading to people being like "Yo! This ain't him." Turned out, it was OversKy playing for him the entire time, and he was in on this thing because apparently ElkY and Smuft spent all the money that was supposed to be used to bring the player over and it was this elaborate scheme where ilnp would turn down the offer for Korea so that ElkY and Smuft didn't have to pay up.

Basically a lot of useless bullshit, but pretty scandalous.

Can you enlighten me? As far as I've gathered, rekrul is a very accomplished poker player/ awesome troll with some sort of progaming related experience of whose nature is unclear to me. Also his tag is very distinctive (bold black) which, among other things, leads me to believe he's some thing equal to or greater that a mod. That's all I got

My personal best pick:

SKY 2001 OSL final - Boxer having been given a different version of a map for practice (and then losing 2:3 to Garimto)

The version of Incubus that was given to Boxer for practice had a tiny island by 10:00 position where a Tank can be dropped and attack an expansion nearby.

Boxer tried to do that on the first set, but on the version of Incubus that was being used during the game, the island was too small for a Tank drop.

He lost the set. If you watch the game, you can tell he probably would've won if that strategy worked

The implication of this drama is that since he won the next two sets, he would've won the OSL by 3:0 and had his 3rd OSL title, and which means, since Golden Mouse was created in the anticipation of Boxer winning his 3rd title at SO1 2005 OSL, it might not have existed.

It turned out that the wrong version was passed to him by a mistake.
