I told Shimy after the ladder stage not to allow Rush to play, because I watched some of his replays and he really looked like a B-/B ranked terran to me. I even told Shimy that Rush will win the tournament -.- But he wouldn't listen, so i quit the CAT because i didn't want to give my name for Rush's legitimized win.
This - for me - says everything. I do not care that Shimy let him play and I do not jugde his decision at all, but letting him in for the second time is a bit over given his play in the last ASL. I do not know how much time people have spent watching replays, but I believe zimp is one of those who has most experience when it comes to this. If he says that this guy looks like a B-/B terran it probably has something to it.
Anyway, I'm still looking forward to playing this and I hope someone can cheese Rush out of this tournament. Nothing personal to you, Rush, but this would give people a fighting chance at winning this instead of having a predetermined winner.
Zimp was right, RuSh isn't playing in ASL2. I had a decent discussion with him last night, he decided not to play because he was being flamed by so many people.
Wow this is pretty sad actually. A tournament that's presumably won by the best player but at the same time has a cap as to how good people can be is inherently retardedtricky. If the organisers want to attempt it anyway that's on their heads, and any participant subscribing to their idea should know what he's in for. Taking any subsequent frustration out on the players is just wrong. Dunno who this is about but they should be ashamed of themselves.
No... Wasn't saying he was right about the skill, said he was right about RuSh not playing sorry for miss wording.

Agreed.
mca64[KDV], Zimp said they're not the same person.
Do you know who motherfucking ZIMP is? Do you? Now go to your momma and bend over so she can spank you good.
If you like throwing accusations around, build a time machine and go back in time a few hundred years. Those guys with caps and red robes would welcome you.
As would some village people as Eywa- demonstrated with a nice vid:

I think what Pholon was getting at is that it's sad that RuSh is the one getting flamed, implying that if anything the tournament organizers should be taking the heat for allowing a player that may have been "too good" to play.
I for one, agree. RuSh was allowed to compete and did so, which doesn't warrant any flaming.
They prolly aren't the same person. Maybe Bibane smurfed for rush. Idk. The real issue is sandbaggers like Rush that ruin a friendly tournament, as well as the staff that knowingly let him do so.
