I may just be being stupid, but can someone explain to me what actually went wrong here.

From NoNy's posts all I can glean is:

1. There was an online tournament

2. There was a week long period within which to play games (seems reasonable). NoNy had an opponent scheduled (it was Major, and anyone can find this information online). The information about maps, opponents, etc was sent directly to NoNy's manager.

3. NoNy couldn't schedule a game in the week long period? (This is where I'm confused, he talks about having a week, and then only having 3 days. Did his management not tell him in time?)

4. NoNy is angry because he has to drop out of the tournament because he couldn't play his games.

I still fail to see how this is the tournament's fault. From the information you've given us NoNy it seems like the only person at fault currently is management. If there's something I'm missing, someone please correct me, I'm just trying to piece together from what's been posted here so far (and not really understanding a lot).

Because it's absolutely and utterly impossible for people to grow up, especially after a nearly career ending incident. Get real dude.

It's about the fact that you're starting shit and lashing out. Not playing your match in a week span is not GSL's fault. If ANYTHING you should be bitching at your manager.

In private.

Anytime any of us has seen this in professional sports that person/player gets in alot of shit from their league/team.

With the way your acting on twitter and on here NonY you should be fucking embarrassed. Your embarrassing yourself and the team you represent. Hope someone from TL management punishes you for such childish behavior. Grow the fuck up or just quit because your ruining yourself and the rep of TL.

Pulling this shit is what sets esports back from anything else. Especially if this behavior isn't going to be disciplined. Go fucking be with the LoL community because with this attitude you'd fit in perfectly with all the bitching and lashing out for no good fucking reason.

If you retire good riddance I wouldnt want you representing esports or TL at all cause your acting like a bitch.

theres nothing fucked up about my message. if you cant keep a clear mind when reading a message without letting its manner of communication fuck you up then that's your fault. i've written enough graduate level english in the sc community to know that there's no point to it. the assholes that require it to pay you any attention arent worth it. i've got legitimate reasons to be upset about both the gsl and diamond.

Bad shit happens. Unfair shit happens. You will get screwed out of opportunities because of circumstances outside your control. This has happened to everyone who ever lived.

However, you are in a privileged position within the community. You are a member of Team Liquid and have a large fanbase that is willing to support you, and creates a give-and-take relationship. We are willing to support you through your physical and emotional issues. We will cheer for you if you do poorly, and we will cheer for you even more fervently when you are doing well.

But it's irresponsible to use your fanclub as a personal venting space, especially since this is a public forum where everyone can read your posts. It's irresponsible to intentionally antagonize other people by insulting them while mimicking the behavior you feign to despise. It's irresponsible to lash out at people who question whether you really should be this angry. It's irresponsible to point fingers and blame everyone else when it sounds like it's your manager's fault for failing to send the information directly to you. It's especially irresponsible to paint your team in a bad light by suggesting that this is the type of behavior that they are willing to tolerate.

See, I am demonstrating non-bitch behavior i.e. possessing the self-discipline and confidence to control my own emotions and not let other people control them for me. When you insulted me I could have insulted you back and started a long chain of heated back-and-forth messages. But that would have been bitch behavior like what Diamond apparently did to you.

Frankly, I don't even know if this is Nony I'm talking to or a energetic troll who got into his account. If you're a troll then bravo, you've fooled me into writing this pointless post.

That video is from months ago. Sandstorm is attempting to use that video to discredit Orb being the voice of reason in this thread, when his experience with controversy actually makes him a credible source on how making emotionally charged comments can affect your career in a negative manner.

Whether or not you the felt the manner in which Nony expressed himself was appropriate doesn't change the fact that he got screwed over. Why are people so focused on word choice that they aren't recognizing/discussing how these situations can be avoided or how victims of poorly run tournaments should be compensated?
