He tends to do analyst-like colour commentary whic Rotti does as well. | ||

It's about perception, Puck could be the second best player in this tournament skllwise but he'll still be the first to lose his lifes if everyone keeps challenging him. | ||

Its important to note that if this was a normal single elimination tournament puck would be gone as he lost to violet (who he returned to beat 2-1) first match of the night. Its just a different format. There are reasons to use this format and reasons not to, just like round robin or gsl style On June 18 2014 08:56 Knatterking wrote: It's not a smurf, he changed his ID before this game, because everyone kept picking him Significantly more bad ass of an explanation than I thought | ||
