I know him personally. His computer cuts out all the time - in practice games, ladder, and unfortunately... tournaments. It is a frustrating issue with his computer that he has been trying to resolve for some time. I respectfully understand that, given his rocky past, it can be easy to jump to such conclusions; but please be assured that he does not drop on purpose. Please know that I am not Lastshadow. He did not ask me to write this. I am writing as someone who can vouch for his computer's instability as I am a friend of his. Thank you. | ||

Interesting...yeah "no show" didn't sound right considering everyone knows you are busy with GSL... | ||

LOL, that's hilarious. Some serious miscommunication going on at IEM. | ||

If two people tie, the winner between the two gets the highest seed and if it means him advancing then that's what will happen. If three people tie, they look at map difference (If two players have the same map difference, they look at direct results). It usually never gets too extreme. | ||

Because you immediatly go out and buy a new computer if you start dropping out of games? | ||

So when he does get replacement parts(he said he had replacements on the way for the faulty parts), he really should look into getting a better case, or a better heatsink, liquid cooling, improving the air flow in his room. SOMETHING to improve the temperature of his system. Edit: Plus drewbie's computer is pretty shitty and hes been winning a lot so yeah not really a given that just since he's doing well he has enough for a new computer. | ||

Step 1: Open case. Step 2: Position fan to blow into case. Step 3: Profit. Not trying to troubleshoot for him, but if you play seriously I'm not sure how you don't attempt to diagnose a computer problem that is blatantly reoccurring. | ||

Good sportsmanship if the game is still too early or it's a game that is either too close to tell who has an advantage?

Only a complete idiot could find a way to mess up their computer doing something as simple as that. You don't even have to touch anything actually inside the comp. | ||

His hardware might have gone bad but most likely to an overheating issue by the sounds of it. He dropped twice within a short period of time when he got done saying it never happens more than once an hour. Plus the first one was a bluescreen more evidence of an overheating issue.

Well if your computer craps out all the time, don't sign up to tournaments until u fix it? It's annoying for every1. | ||
