No rules are being broken here since when do people have to scrim with someone they don't want to scrim with. And to prove it's because of racism not better contacts/strategy is pretty much impossible | ||

Am I reading this wrong or did he basically just admit they didn't scrim together? | ||

Pretty much. Captilast just tweeted this. I had totally forgotten about that. But yeah if you remember the only teams Orange and Zenith scrimmed last year before ti were basically Orange and Zenith. | ||

It damages the scene long term for a short term personal gain. Your suggestion that it has to do with contacts makes no sense, the lineups of these teams has been more or less the same for months, yet the lack of scrims started post-SL9. How do Burning and MMY of all players have no contacts in the Chinese scene? | ||

Shortly after SL9, there was a chinese thread about how (I think it was faith) said on a broadcast that IG and LGD were no longer scriming with DK. Most thought it was because DK was too good, some thought it was because DK fell off. No one really thought much of it though. Yesterday, there was a weibo post that was er..."retweeted"....by burning's gf, which claimed that only VG were scriming against DK, and everyone else wasn't because DK was winning everything. Later, the post was deleted~ After their match against Titan, mushi posted on weibo saying which was later "retweeted" by burning. Both are known to rarely post on weibo, so this brings up more drama. Soon after, xiao8 posts on weibo saying that he recalls scriming with them a lot, less with lgd; Before MDL they (NB) only scrimmed twice; He never said or told any other teams to not practice with DK. Immediately after, Yao and Hao all post in defense of xiao8. xiao8 was also accused of doing the same to IG last year, but zhou posted that he doesn't remember such thing when he was on IG. Then mushi's admin posts on facebook about how it's because he and iceiceice aren't from China. TLDR: There's accusations of scrim boycotting against DK, xiao8 denies it, nothing is clear atm. Thats a pretty smart strategy from xiao8 actually.... although its pretty evil.... lol | ||

If they did, that's poor poor sportsmanship. It's fine if u skip scrimming with DK but don't involve others for your personal issue. | ||

Sorry for the off topic, but Zenith was most definitely a tier 1 team. TI2 was a disappointment despite a 5/6th spot. Zenith at TI3 was a weaker team than the two earlier years, but was still 9th-12th in the world. hyhy and icex3 fanboy speaking, but I think it's lack of respect for a team that good to claim they weren't tier 1. Going back to the topic I've always respected xiao8 a lot, and I guess you could consider this yet another example of him doing anything for his team to become the best, but what I don't understand is how he's managed to convince other teams to agree to this. What does any other team have to benefit from a boycot? Practicing a lot against DK would surely improve them more than NOT doing it. | ||
