Kiante ran the entire ThSL. He made it so that I, as a complete technophobe, just had to join a game and answer a Skype call.

The same is true of the Gem League.

As someone who has worked with him, I will honestly say that Kiante put in a ton of effort for both the original Gem League and the ThSL. With no expectation of a large audience, he woke up at six in the morning (again, to facilitate my not having to stay up too late). I was a total fucking primadonna and Kiante made everything work as well as he possibly could.

Then, as though that weren't enough, I very much made it the running joke of both of those tournaments that, when there was downtime, I would poke fun at Kiante for being boring, raging, antipodean, or having a speech impediment.

I've just been watching all of this unfold, and until now I think I've been pretty hands off because the truth is that I don't really know too much about tournaments or their operation. The reason I don't know too much about those things is because I never had to learn... because Kiante handled it all for me.

You can sit here and say anything you want, but allow me to be the first to say, whole heartedly, "Kiante is a delight to work with."

I'm sure Trozz and Torenhire would say the same thing.
