My best guess is that they made a mistake somewhere, accepted more people into the tournament than can hold, and had trouble resolving it. Running a tournament is not an easy task. It requires far more multitasking than sc2, and when you have too many things to deal with, sometimes you may be forced to ignore people. I don't think they were deliberately trying to be unprofessional, they probably just had poor planning combined with unanticipated complications. When this happens, the best thing you can do is to be as cooperative as you can. If that means that you no longer have a spot in the tournament, then you have to accept it. Even though you don't get the tournament experience that you came for, do your best to make sure that everyone else in the tournament does.

From what I saw watching the stream earlier, i did see Brandon delete multiple Real ID friends mid tournament, and simply exiting chat conversations without responding or hardly looking at them.

Whether he actually meant for this to happen, had too much on his hand or whatever, just PLEASE if YOU are running a tournament, YOU need to run that tournament and NOT be the caster/streamer at the same time. ESPECIALLY when players have to wait around 2/3 hours just to play their game. This is absurd if you think this is how you run a tournament.

Whatever the outcome of this, just take the above advice please... it will allow for tournaments to run far smoother.


Yeah I saw that too. There were people msg'ing him asking him a question about opponents or something but he exited the convo instead of answering :S
When I think of something else, something will go here

Yeah replacing players mid tournament is very unprofessional. I would like to hear a statement about this. If we don't hear some explanations I don't think it's right for this tournament to be featured on TL any longer.



Hell yeah. I agree completely with this. And love seeing TL stand up against this kind-o-shit.

Sorry bro about hearing that. Dont get too caught up in it and make sure to keep your head up!

Now I know that tensions are pretty high right now, but lets wait and see FireFlash's response. There might be another side.

However, if he did remove TQskullz for a bigger name, that's totally unacceptable, elitist, and extremely dishonest of him.

that is really tough for you man. I know as a tourney organizer that it is almost impossible to do everything BUT that does not excuse this sort of behaviour. If this is really how it went down, there is some serious problems with the organizers and they really need to look at how they are going about this

I hope this get's disputed! You deserve to be in that tournament, it's unfair that you would get kicked out to 'accommodate' for another player.

To be honest I wish Teamliquid had a "tournament guideline" that people tournament hosts must adhere to in order to be featured on the tournament page. Or even be able to advertise it on the TL forums.

Did you fully read the post?? It wasn't some random tournament, this was an "invitational tourny for money". Also, he was very cooperative as he said and other witnesses confirmed this through the stream. The bracket was already made and there is no changing it past the first round far as I'm concerned.

Bad move by Brandon, Sorry to hear it but you're probably not going to get a statement. He saw EG and I guess figured you didn't show along with Kizu and you were replaced. Obviously this wasn't the case. But he felt like ignoring the matter. Clearly he needs help running the tournament so it can stay organized.

The funny thing is FireFlash is trying to cover it up. He's edited the player list so tqskulls is no longer there. However, if you look at the log:

Nov 30, 00:06 EST XBLFireFlash reported a (2-0) win for TQsKuLLz.964 over Kizu.505.

Not all guidelines need to be written down, honestly. Common sense dictates that if you run your tournament poorly, the community will shit all over it and you won't be featured for long.

There are 6 hours of Ro64 VODs posted on the tournament's TL forum post page. Perhaps there is a moment where the messages pop up somewhere? I have no personal desire to dig through them all.

What an asshole, I'll be sure to never watch that stream again.

Unless adequate explanation is given it would actually please me greatly to see this guy banned from tl.net. This is much worse than some shitty posting.

(I tend to believe everything the OP says just based on how well he explained himself)

In the fighting game scene I remember some players would host a tournament while competing in it. Similar to hosting a tournament while casting, it just plain doesn't work at all. People will have questions and they'll have to wait for you to finish. It makes for a very unprofessional tournament. You just need to get someone to help you run it.

It sounds like that's what happened here. He just wanted to get through the round without pausing to deal with everything because he was needed to cast every match. This should have been avoided.

lol... This is pretty blatant that he messed up and wont respond, most likely, trying to avoid the subject.

I still want to know if TL will let him post tourneys etc ehre anymore after this..

On a seperate note, how do u see the logs? o.O

lol you guys are acting like its the end of the world, I'm not saying what brandon did was right. But it sounds like he was just overwhlemd trying to run the tourney and made a couple mistakes. It's easy to forget a player or two when your dealing with 20+ players. You should give him a break, it's not like you paid to enter or anything, he offered you a spot and he got sidetracked and let someoen else play cause it was probably more convenient. This guy does not deserve the death sentence for trying to put on a decent sc2 tourney.....Give him a break, try looking at a situation from more than just your own perspective, he wouldnt have invited you if he didnt want you to play, but obviosuly no shows made the scheduling difficult.

I'd like to see any of the haterz in this thread put on a 500$ sc2 tourney.
