Finally, I agree with a lot of the criticisms of BigT to an extent. I frequently facepalm at some of the things he does and says. To be honest though, half the time people won't tell him what he should do or what the fuck is going on, so he then exercises his own judgment (which is pretty bad) in a situation he shouldn't even be in. | ||

He simply won't be used in the next tourny or he'll get a behind the scenes talk on how to handle future situations. Honestly it's poor behavior from almost everyone. Idra knew the rules (even if they are silly rules) yet disobeyed (even if he had somewhat of a legitimate reason, lag). BigT reacted not so well. Idra reacted not so well. What else is there to say. Obviously some things will be adjusted be it the rules, obsing/reffing, etc. Lots of ppl are blowing this way out of proportion. | ||

You should also note that midway doesnt owe anyone an explanation about BigT's behavior since BigT is not directly affiliated with them (note the word directly, he did cast for them, but hes not directly part of the organization). Im guessing midway wont use him again, but that should be left for the discussion between him and BigT, he doesnt owe anyone anything on that particular matter. | ||

Idra didn't refuse casting because BigT was "bming" him. He immediately refused casting BEFORE ANY GAMES WERE PLAYED when BigT first messaged him saying "hey I'm going to be casting your game if that's alright" or something to that effect. After this, BigT tried to joke around with him to lighten him up. This is the alleged "bm". Obviously this was a mistake since everybody knows that that is never going to work. This was stupid of BigT to do and only fanned the flames a little bit (although I doubt Idra really gives a shit about BigT's dumb jokes to him). Finally, BigT only called Idra an "a-move zerg" as a JOKE at the end of one of Idra's games where Idra roflstomped his opponent and seemingly a-moved to victory. Note that this innocuous comment occurred AFTER the Idra had already refused to be casted but was forced to be casted anyway. Finally, I agree with a lot of the criticisms of BigT to an extent. I frequently facepalm at some of the things he does and says. To be honest though, half the time people won't tell him what he should do or what the fuck is going on, so he then exercises his own judgment (which is pretty bad) in a situation he shouldn't even be in. you have it wrong on the second sentence. nice try though | ||

Obvious exaggeration, but a ton of people here obviously didn't see what happened and have completely mixed up the ORDER in which the events unfolded. That is a FACT. | ||

That is a FACT. lol no, I was actually referring to something else but its alright because I actually misread what you typed, I thought we were going down the `Idra got BMed and so didnt allow casting` road again. I dont think people care about the BM anyway, the issue was with the integrity, or lack of, by the organizers after the fact. | ||

To prevent themselves from looking bad they spun the situation to make it look like it was all IdrA's fault. I support IdrA in this situation.

Idra said he would do it and called them "fucking morons" over irc or something. So they tacked on 2 penalty points which would put him to 4 which is a DQ It sounds bad but there was ALOT more that happened I just dont feel like typing it when its in the other thread.

They banned him, then after the fact, IdrA was contacted by LastShadow, and found out he would have to replay the rounds. IdrA said he would, and told LastShadow to tell the admins that they are fucking idiots. | ||

Idra was wrong. So what if they fucked up, they should apologize and ask him to play again; and he either accepts the apology and the offer or he doesn't. Why does he BM then? Because he knows he gets reactions from it, gains notoriety and attracts attention. So I'd say his rage was fake if not unnecessary in this situation. ESL was even more wrong. With all that being said, from what I read here (and I read a great deal of the posts), ESL is just a bunch of unorganized guys trying to put something together. I'd suggest you get down your high horse and deal with players and viewers alike with humility. You're not a big/respected organization yet, far from it (obvious by all the posts). On a final note, to put it more coarsely as Idra would, get your heads out of your asses. | ||
