 In the best scope, if it was just a mistake (very possible with one person handling 64 entrants), then all should be forgiven in my opinion. Stick with it TQSkullz, you have our support! | ||

This may not be the right place to rant about this tournament, so I apologize if this is out of line. However, There was one specific instance which caused me to close the stream out of frustration. Fireflash was going to cast the game between AllAboutYou and Alej. He invited both of the players to the game telling them it would be cast. Allaboutyou requested to play later because he had homework. Fireflash tells him that's fine...and without letting Alej know of the situation he kicks him from the game, invites kawaiirice and streams his match. Alej messages fireflash asking what happened. Fireflash reads the message, then closes it without a reply. To me, that was completely unacceptable. He left one of the players entirely in the dark and confused about his match, right after saying he was going to cast the game. I'll never watch another tournament hosted by him. Maybe I'm being too extreme, but the way he treated the players bothered me to no end. This situation with the OP just enforces what I thought before. Again, I apologize if this is the wrong place to rant...feel free to delete my post if it is out of line. | ||

As for this thread, I'd be willing to let it all slide really, just take this as constructive criticism. We can all do some things better, perhaps in this case you should be more vigilant with the players in the tournament and how they are taken care of. | ||

This basically sums up the poor quality of this tournament and FireFlash's illegitimacy. | ||

I was contacted.. asked why i didnt show (and i wasnt sure what he was refurring too..) there is so many tournaments in sc2 its hard to keep track of everything you get invited too / signup for.. so he told me which tournament and i told him "oh sorry i guess i forgot" and he said there was alot of people who didnt show up.. and asked if i wanted to (take somone's place.. where both players didnt show up). So it seemed ok.. since it would have ment somone would have got a bye in the RO32. But After reading this.. I had no idea I replaced somone who did show up/expected to play in this tournament. So i just wanna say I'm sorry this happend.. I will gladly Give you my spot which is actually your's in the first place. If you so wish -Jacob LzGaMeR Winstead~ At least we can count on the players to act with integrity , way to go LZ | ||

Yes I messed up, you have to understand one person running a 64 man tournament while live streaming the entire thing by myself and getting everyone lined up on a scheudle as well as casting can be very stressful. I made a mistake I admitted I made the mistake and I fixed my mistake | ||

Let it slide as he's a "presence in E-sports", are you kidding me? If fans of the game can't even take this tournament seriously because of how unprofessionally it was run everyone should just move on because he's 'helping e-sports'? This whole situation is beyond unaccapteble, and the 'clarification' Brandon provided is hardly adequate. "Oops, glad you told me you were left out of the tournament again, I was busy the other few times" is not bloody enough. | ||

(And feel free to correct me if I am wrong in saying that you are the only one with a gigantic majority of responsibility in this tournament). | ||

Along wit the other issues I sincerely hope TL doesn't allow the rest of this tournament or any future ones to be put on the calendar and especially not featured. | ||
