You sound like destiny when he loses on ladder on a map that isn't in the map pool of every god damn tournament. You played good but no reason to throw shit a cyto for playing the map pool in his favor. | ||

Its not entirely your fault, as an organisation, but cytoplasm is to blame too. Having that map in, and cyto refusing to use the more balanced one (even though its still zerg favoured) and then gold expanding is just such a bullshit thing to do. And having so many obserevers, all the casters did was hate on incontol when he missed his FFs, and they failed to comment on the fact that right at that point, the drop out box came up, followed by one of the 8 observers dropping out. Really poor tournament tbh, admin should have changed that map, everyone knew it should have been the MLG one, even Cytoplasm, thats why he wanted that map to abuse it. | ||

People can flame me all they like in here. Chances are you've never played in front of an augience for money and won't ever know what it's like to have something stupid like this happen. I take responsibility for accepting the invite before checking to see if they were dumb. My bad. | ||

Pretty much summed up my feelings as well. This was my first time watching one of these and I can't say I'll be coming back. | ||

When the laggscreen comes up, you usually get a spike or two before it does so. In that situation, the lagg came when he needed to place the forcefields, then the game froze. It's just how the game does it, was incredibly unlucky | ||

It's his responsibility to voice his concerns BEFORE games are played, not after you're more than halfway through the series. He fucked up and it's ultimately his responsibility. Saying that, I hope they do fix the map in the future. You have to do things the right way and causing some drama in the middle of the series because you weren't aware exactly what maps are being played is not the right way. Way I see it, the players shouldn't have to watch their backs when going into legitimately funded tournaments. What does this say about the management of KOTH IMBA invitational? Loss of respect for Cytoplasm because he's the ugly face of win at all costs, who gives a shit if we're playing a terrible map that is basically a free win for me. I don't care about my fans getting to see a terrible foregone conclusion of a map. He SHOULD protest the map WHILE abiding by the rules. Fact is, he argued FOR the map when he really should have at least kept his mouth shut. >.> | ||

[12:50:56 PM] Firesilver: Hello Geoff [12:51:18 PM] Firesilver: Regarding the map situation, I originally made the first map pool for KOTM 1 and had alot of input on KOTM season 2 [12:51:29 PM] Firesilver: I asked for all standard maps to be MLG versions or NASL if they weren't available [12:51:49 PM] Firesilver: It seems like this wasn't put on the actually thread [12:55:33 PM] Firesilver: I can say that i'm extremely pissed right now. SO basically it was supposed tob e in the rules  | ||

Definitely think they should remove that map from the pool and it's sad to see you robbed from this game. That said, cyto has every right to choose that map without getting any flack. Just as a terran is allowed to cheese to win games. I've regarded you as one of the few "grown ups" of e-sports but some of the comments you dropped just seemed like a little child throwing a fit to me. Just saying that you don't agree with the pool and keep it at that would've ben enough imo. | ||

More on this fascinating concept at 11. are you stupid? do you think every single player studies the map pool that hard? you could ask any pro in this tournament, or any pro player in NA and ask them what version they'd think it was of metal, and i bet at least 99% of them would say the MLG/GSL version and not the broken one that is only used on ladder gtfo User was warned for this post | ||
