That's really pathetic.

Can't help feeling like it was just because Lz is "known" - nothing against him cos its obv not his fault, sure he knew nothing about this.

Still not only his actions but the way he handled it was extremely unprofessional.

It is important for players to know that the tournaments they participate in are legitimate.

They also need to know that the prize money is given fairly to whomever performs better. If they can be dropped apart from the rules, then the tournament is completely fake, and the competition is completely invalid.

This doesn't surprise me...when an Asian guy he was casting on his stream went AFK he made a remark saying "He probably went to get some rice". That was my first impression of the guy and this thread confirms my thoughts.

omg, now you guys want to sue him, that will sure help build e-sports in north america, now that sponser's will fear being sued by the players lmao.

This guy messed up and did a horrible job organizing his tourney, He didnt commit murder. The OP even states that when brandon asked him if he ever got to play his game, that the OP DID NOT RESPOND! that right there is grounds for removal from the tourney.

brandon should be scolded and warned, but anything beyond that is ridiculous.

Found this in the logs in http://challonge.com/XBLStarcraft2

XBLFireFlash reported a (2-0) win for NGry.791 over EGLzGamer.327.

and the brackets say NGry's opponent was a no show in r64


Yes I know Ngry we talk on vent and last night he waited 3 hours for lzgamer but he never showed up so he told the admin and the admin at first said that if he doesn't show he gets the walkover. Ngry talked to him a little later and he did give Ngry the walkover but yeah guess he just decided to switch him out for another for whatever reason.

Hopefully he resolves this or something ^^


Yea, I think this kinda proves to be what everyone already assumed. LZGamer didn't show up for the Ro64 vs his opponent NGry. Now what should have happened, if LZGamer had a good reason for not making it to ask NGry if he would play LZGamer and let NGry decide to take the Bye or not. But, instead Brandon just replaces a guy he probably thought was disposable. He made a very poor decision and should have kept everything in fair play. Especially when money is on the line.

Mods can see a list of people who are "active" on TL... and Plexa's said that he was active on TL so should have gotten the PM already.

this isn't "messing up". this is being a dick. he didn't accidentally remove someone from a tourney, ignore said person, and then add a more known person

In his defence, my first impression of him was positive @ zeles. I also don't know if he was joking when he said what you heard. Let's not turn this into a thread bashing him because his mom might be ugly or anything else speculative and unrelated. He needs to answer an accusation of illegally eliminating an active player in a tournament that has a monetary prize pool that would open him up to civil lawsuits with demonstrable damages in the United States (not sure about other nations or where he is from).

fireflash's lawyer?
but to be fair to him also, give him reasonable time to respond to this.

yes but we must sue him before the statute of limitations runs out




Yeah we better hurry before the two years is up for the civil suit to be filed hehe

I hope this issue gets resolved and Brandon has a damn good reason for doing what he did. Yeah props to him for putting together a cool tournament but throwing fair play out and dropping an invited player without telling him in advance is a really douche move.

Thanks for pointing that out. Just because he is active doesn't prove he will have received a message, but hopefully he will see it before he goes to sleep! I know that sometimes I just leave my computer on. Obviously I think this is a pretty bad situation, but if I have to I will start defending him because he does deserve not to be quickly judged.

That sounds very fair. I sure hope this is all untrue. For once I really appreciate the active MODS on TL! Thnx Plexa.

it might be upgraded to a hate crime now, making it a criminal prosecution, because of his derogatory comments[1].

I think your sequence of events is a tad bit warped here . Um first of all he didn't respond the first day (R64) and was advanced in the field regardless as his opponent did not show . The problem with the OP happened the following day AFTER he was advanced through the brackets into the Round of 32 . So let me get this straight , I am still painfully attempting to follow your thought process . From what I can gather your point is ; " he could have been booted the day before , therefor he is justified in mistreating him the following day ." Please clarify , becuase this makes absolutely no sense to me .

Besides reading the thread didn't anyone actually watch the stream? I spent a good hour of torture trying to watch my favorite NA players being unprofessionally cast throughout the entire night. I had enough and turned off the stream for state of the game/HuK. There was no synergy amongst casters and the fact that they kept overlapping and interrupting each other was annoying. Then he goes on a rant about how he is doing it for the love of the game and refusing donations but then asks for them?

I am sure running a tournament is an enormous headache, but even watching this one being cast was an absolute travesty and there should be no reason as to why it is on featured team liquid. Its crazy how many top players were training all day for this tournament and how poorly it was ran from organization to the actual live stream of matches.
