I love how the OP tried to make himself seem innocent in creating this thread by acting like he was just curious about learning some facts. "Hey guys I just made a thread to ask about why Tyler forfeit even though it's been asked a million times in the other thread." Anyone with a brain would know that creating this thread would just be throwing fuel on the fire. The OP clearly wanted there to be arguments against Tyler and TL.

This thread shouldn't even exist. Tyler forfeiting the first round of this tournament isn't notable; the only reason we're even discussing it is because Hot_Bid made a post about Stephano and some moron tried to call him out about not talking about TL members forfeiting things. The reaction is totally disproportional to the offense.


the only people being disproportionate are the army of white knights coming to to tylers defence. the OP asked a question in a reasonable and manner way, and tyler replied. its only tylers defenders who are getting stressed out about this.

This thread IS necessary!

If the other one is. (and it is)


Why? The two things are so insanely different in magnitude I think it's absurd to try to even compare them.

Its like comparing a minor scratch on a windshield to car getting totaled.


minor scratches on windshields dramatically reduce their strength and are a major safety hazard, turned out your metaphor was pretty good after all


lol?



I think this thread is a complete waste of space and unnecessary. Should we start a thread for every first round withdrawal out of every event when a player has an unseen conflict arise?


dont make metaphors if you dont know what your talking about then.

secondly, its not a "first round" he didnt enter this. it was a community invitational. this is the whole reason stephano is getting shit on for his choice. that being said, this isnt an issue, tyler was ill, thats ok. but that doesnt mean to say people cant ask.


So your going to twist my metaphor then claim I don't know what I'm talking about? What is your problem.

If you'd like we can change the windshield to a dent in the bumper.

Is a dent in my bumper the same as my car getting totaled?

Tyler = Dent
Stepanho = Totaled

I hope I don't have to explain why. Does every dent require a thread on TL and a call to the insurance agency?

The difference between Tyler's situation and Stephano's situation is: Tyler did not purposefully screw over ONOG. Obviously, as Tyler stated himself, his actions were unjust. However, Stephano (from the information we have), feels little remorse and cost ONOG several viewers when leaving.

In all seriousness, ONOG could win a law suit against Stephano. The problem being, each side would waste more money in the courts... (and the whole foreign countries thing...)

Players have a right to forfeit in almost all sport situations......... unless its stated within the tournaments law books. A lot (not all but a lot) of e-sports fans think they are some princess in need of care or something. Its up to the tournament organizers to make the tournament enticing enough for players not to forfeit in them. Again, it is unprofessional from Stephano to forfeit like that but its within his right. I'm not faulting ONOG, but I hope ONOG learns the lesson not to invite people who are already registered in another tournament bigger than them on the same day. The players will always give more importance to the bigger tournament.

Give me a fucking break, all you people who were bitching in the other thread about Tyler FF is not the same as Stephano FF a finals match.

Community starting unneeded drama as always.


well he has a point, you can't treat one person one way and another a completely different way. I think this thread is also pretty unnecessary, if people want to know small and rather pointless details about a player you go to their twitter and find out.

I certainly don't see the big deal with tyler forfeiting a match due to medical issues. Its not like he didn't want to play after he agreed to it.

Why are people even trying to have discussion on Tyler's professionalism? We don't have enough information to really justify whether or not Tyler did something unreasonable. For all we know he could have had a discussion with a ref and forfeited based on a very legitimate medical concern. If people want to discuss forfeits and professionalism in general then why isn't the discussion continued in the original thread?

Why isn't it the same? Cause there was no money involved? People tuned in to see tyler play just as much as they did for Stephano. Regardless of the circumstances fans were robbed from seeing two popular foreign players compete regardless of tournament position.


Fans aren't entitled to jack. And the exaggeration of robbed as if it was Tyler robbing both his and catz fans of the match, which is almost suggesting Tyler doesn't care for the fans. Get over it.

Sorry to hear
Sounds quite different from the Stephano situation regarding the semantics of the situation. For those complaining, when has any professional athlete (football, basketball, etc..) ever gotten legitimate flak for skipping a game for medical reasons?

Tyler I doubt you'll read this or take notice, but for the heck of it if there's anything a netizen can do, let me know.

quite often.

Depends on the injury of course.

At what point exactly does it become ok to forfeit? Group play, ro16, ro8, ro4, finals?


When it matter the least in the tournament. Now do your maths!
