EPTThis Sunday at MLG Anaheim, I was sitting in the second row of the VIP seating area, and witnessed Fnatic's Xeris take these two contest winners bags and throw them on the ground, basically stealing their seats.
The two guys whose seats he stole had won these front row seats in a Dr Pepper contest, and had them assigned directly by MLG staff.
When they returned, Xeris basically explained that he was more important than them, and deserved to be there much more than they did.
They eventually got a MLG staff member, but apparently Xeris was so 'important' that the two contest winners were forced to move. I'm not sure where they ended up.
Me and my friend were discussing how much of a jerk he was (loudly enough so that he could hear us), and he turned to us to say : "I won these seats too... through years of hard work.", and then laughed.
Didn't really know how to respond to that, so I just let it go at that.
I've never seen anyone act this entitled and rude in real life. Especially someone as involved in the community as Xeris.
He should know that that kind of behavior isn't appropriate. I hope he sees this and at least apologizes to the kids whose seats he stole.
Edit:
Here's the dudes thread where he talks about his experience (he eventually had his seat taken by sundance, but sundance was a nice enough dude to give it back :-D ). Further down the thread he mentions how Xeris stole his seats.
He didn't want to make waves and was threatening to delete his post, but I found Xeris's behavior disgusting.

My thought? Although he was "kinda important" but that wasn't his rights to do such an act like that. I say, you just lost one of your neutral fan.
