I don't think this thread should be about which of the 2 players was right. Both could have done alot of things better. The real problem is the way these incompetent admins handled the situation. As one of the previous posters mentioned being an admin is obviously challenging. There are soooo many cups doing it right though, I don't think this is a good excuse. | ||

I mean u get the def win! and play 2-3 more rounds win all... and then u mustä play 4 rounds before? ... shouldnt be allowed... and then u talk to the admin and he is talking about " OKay.. dont wanna play vs your opponent XY? Then he get the def win.! " wtf? FaZi | ||

admin made a mistake because thefreshone LIED to them. admin corrects his mistake sothat the injustice is solved (me being DQed because next opponent LIED to the admin) thefreshone refuses the decision of the admin, and puts me on ignore DURING the thing, and refuses to talk to admins admins DQ him so hard to get? | ||

Quite understandably fresh would not have wanted to contact you himself. | ||

the problem is building such a system on the kinds of the software development budget of a Competo, CraftCup and the other small prize pool organizations. Basically you need a database developers and a server admin looking to re-enforce their resume to pull this off. | ||

First of all, the admins shouldn't get that much hate. It's really fucking hard to manage an IRC with 500+ mad and impatient players in it, most of which cannot even express themselves very well (in English). That said, the head organization (in this case COMPETO) is at fault for not providing enough manpower. If you are one of 4-5 admins who are responsible for a ton of players, you can't even afford to care for the unique player/person but you just have to solve problems and conflicts as quickly and as efficiently as you can - mishaps like this one are bound to happen at least once or twice per tournament. The thing is though that most people decide that it's not worth making as much fuzz as TheFreshOne and Toxii made here. Enough of playing devil's advocate though: The COMPETO SC2 Cup really is a pretty bad looking cup in many regards. There obviously are admin issues and it certainly looks like many of the admins are very immature etc. Although they make their tournament only once per week, they're still only at a 50€ + some hardware prizepool, which is weak for an event with 2 sponsors that has been around almost since release. They probably have the ugliest and worst working brackets in history. And they also seem to completely forget people (and drop them without a word) who they worked with for several months, because they decide that these people are no use for them anymore  | ||

Quite understandably fresh would not have wanted to contact you himself. read his post, the whole reasoning behind it is "i have waited long enough" TADAM!!!!!!!! read my message too, you can see the chatlog of what made him ignore me : "GO TALK TO THE ADMINS" -> ignore list then "if you dont play they will give you defloss" -> i was already on ignore. he talked to me when i was in the game, at the end of it, i didnt answer because UH when im playing a 40 mins game im not wasting time in a tense game to answer my next opponent ? wether he knows or not how long he has to wait is irrelevant to how long he will actually wait anyway. noone asked thefreshone to decide himself that he had "waited long enough". i was playing another cup, how many players play different cups at the same time in europe? im not freaking hanibal lecter because i played a game against stephano, in which i didnt even try to turtle or anything but simply tried early game all in to get a fast game.. the two first rounds were a defwin and an easy game, didnt waste any time on it. this is irrelevant to the issue at stake anyways, if anyone had something to say about it it was my opponent in competo cup for the previous round WHICH WAS NOT THEFRESHONE. you guys dont even understand there is a GIGANTIC mistake in his reasoning ? i , personally, was not his opponent when he tried to get a defwin, he had NO OPPONENT, the round was being played. | ||

Quite understandably fresh would not have wanted to contact you himself. More than that, it seems (not proven) based on match history that Toxi was playing Stephano in a separate tournament, not the previous round. So in fact, IF this is true, Toxi was lying and should have been disqualified. Oh well, stupid Admin decisions. Extremely unprofessional. | ||

I'm confused - does this even matter? It's the player's responsibility to make sure they're planning their own schedules. A missed match is a missed match, regardless of whether your excuse was true or not. To OP: Thank you for making this public. By keeping things like this from the community, people run the risk of allowing this kind of disorganization to become the norm.. | ||

Extremely unprofessional. i know nothing about this particular admin error. i do know you pay $0 to enter the event and there is a cash prize at the end. the player paid $0 and even if we assume his criticism is valid. He still got full value for his $0. He got nothing. To put your name on the Map in SC2 you need to enter the Zotac, $100 CraftCups, and the Go4SC2. Sure a few decisions may not go your way.. but you need to go deep into all these events on a consistent basis in order to get onto a major SC2 team and avoid this grind. | ||
