You are clearly more concerned with satisfying your stream viewers rather than being courteous to the participants in your tournament, without whom your tournament would be impossible.
Your priorities are out of line.

If what skullz said is true(i'd print screen the bnet chat if i were you):
it is worse than 'mistake' or 'stressed' after you replied Skullz many 'yes' (wasting his time and giving him false hope at the mean time), you decided to ignore him and remove him. i mean, you surely have the bracket map in your hand when you replied him 'yes,you're still in', right???
i smell something fishy there, could it be the worst thing they do a match fixing in this tourney. hope skullz gets a proper compensation.

This has been an interesting read, however I think that the tournament organizer probably made a somewhat honest mistake that has now been corrected. I feel bad for the OP since his time was wasted. However, I didn't see the stream and have no real evidence or input. If it was an intentional malicious act, I highly doubt brandon will ever pull that shit again after this thread.

This is starting to feel a little like a witch hunt. Brandon seems very sorry and apologetic for his mistake. Running tournaments is difficult, and it sounds like he had a tough night. Even an upstanding community member like Day9 had some issues with his tournament when he ran it (not that he ever faced this kind of allegation or this level of apparent issues). I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt until we get all the facts straightened out. Obviously there were some issues with how this tournament was run. But from Brandon's comments it doesn't seem like he had bad intentions. Maybe Plexa's idea to lock the thread isn't so bad after all.

Brandon, your apology is appreciated. I'm sorry it had to come to this to get this ironed out and I'm not like "oh it's all about me!" kind of guy. I thought it was a really nice gesture to invite me and I hope to participate other tournaments.
LZGamer may continue in the tournament. I appreciate LZ's reply to the situation as well. I'd appreciate a spot in one of the next tourneys instead.
Id be glad to have you back skullz as well as Dante.
Most of TQ is still on my friends list and you can confirm that as well.

Skullz has forgiven him so I hope everyone else can just drop it. All this bashing is unproductive. Let the mods, tournament organizers, and persons involved handle it.

Get another person to help you manage the actual tournament if you're going to be casting it. It's really annoying to the players if they don't even know when they're going to play. There's been no set order of players so far and that makes us sit around until you get to responding (usually vaguely, like "soon", after a game).
It would be awesome if you just staggered the games and assigned each series a start time or something.
Anyway, thanks for the tour and looking forward to tomorrow.

No, they aren't. Name any caster that doesn't set himself to Busy mid-cast. Seriously, that's standard. What are you on about?
What happens when he isn't casting is another issue entirely, but you're just being silly.

LzGamer was supposed to take the spot for Kyhol not TQSkullz and I put them in the wrong spot and then Zelniq ended up going to play ROOTCatz but forfeited because Kyhol was not on. The whole thing got mixed up
So wait, you advanced Skullz and then accidentally replaced him in the Ro32?

LOL. You honestly believe he should be more concerned with his viewer count rather than his participants? What are YOU on about?

Yes, Skullz was advanced and then accidently replaced. He was on the bracket slated to face cheese and I misadded LzGamer to that match instead of the Kyhol / Catz matchup.

No, what's silly is trying to manage a tournament while casting.

Okay, locking this. Turning this over to the staff to see where we go from here.
