Page 26 and onwards I will issue at least two day bans to anyone who clearly has not read the original topic post and the explanations contained therein. He was barred access to the event days before the actual event took place and used some random diamond player his account to try and get in anyway.
Leave the racial bias at the door while you are at it as well pretty please. |

Dox could of said that major is ugly, or he doesn't like the look of his socks, the point is that major just plain knew what he was doing was wrong. Bloke just wanted to smash in and take some cash.
Well yeah. Obviously.

So Major was cheating, I am amused at the posts that act like there is nothing wrong with that.
I think for every one person that is saying that there are like 10 nerds who are like " NO YOUR WRONG AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD"

Well I find it odd that the people who defended him say that just didn't understand the rules or that the requirements weren't set out everywhere. He asked Dox, Dox said no.

Ugh, it was a bad call by major and he acted like an ass. But some of you guys really need to stop acting as if he had killed someone.
I am not saying its not a big deal but I can´t believe how much drama was generated over this.

I didn't like Major before this event, but now I am a fan. Restricting tournaments based on nationalities is pretty hardcore racist, and I will not welcome it in my sc2 scene.
User was temp banned for this post.

Lame story.
But the internet rage crew is in full force again lol.

Citizenshipism!

I fully respect the tournament organiser's decision to limit it to only SEA citizens as he is the head honcho and is entitled to do whatever he wants. That said I believe restricting an online torney based on the arbitrary nation state in which the player happens to reside more terrible than what Major did.
I understand he fucked over people who may otherwise have won or done well, and they he should have not deliberately gone against the tourney directors instruction and what not. But really I don't think it's *that* big of a deal, people are definitely over reacting to this. Wonder why he was so desparate to get into this tournament though, surely there's plenty of other ones he is elligible to enter...
EDIT: I know that the organiser wanted to promote SEA players and completely understand that, but at the same time I find it kinda silly when tournies should be (to me anyway about competition rather than anything else.

Unacceptable behaviour. Lying right in the admin's face after clearly being told not to participate, then even laughing about it after fucking up everyone's experience. Really disappointing (yet expected, with his reputation).
Things can be explained by Major apparently being a young (dumb?) teen, but they can not be excused.
Ban for future tournaments in the SEA circuit made by these organizers, please. Just like the TSL cheaters were banned from TSL, there should be consequences. How else are kids like Major supposed to learn from their mistakes?

Well, that was against rules, but you people are fucking overreacting as always. I don't see that being so bad, that you would even want to open a topic about it. "It's hurting esports" is becoming a new meme.
The topic is well informed and it includes a statement from organizer as well as the actual chat. In my opinion it's way better to create a thread clearing things out instead of rumors starting to spread with false information. No where in the topic is this refereed to as "hurting" esports, it's an act by a single individual, a guy who totally disrespected the rules set for the tournament and then lied his way in, Major deserves no respect after doing this.

its not hardcore racist. at the very most its mildly racist. spanish basketball leagues restrict teams to having 2 foreigners only in order to maintain development of spanish players. the same is true for chinese basketball and taiwanese basketball. only americans can play in WCG USA, and only canadians can play in WCG Canada. all of these things are meant to nurture esports development in each specific country and if you read what the organizer is saying or even if you by chance have seen catz' video on his take on the concept you wouldnt be so quick to call something hardcore racist. in fact, i can think in my head of certain things in the history books that i would call hardcore racist and to compare this to those things, you should be quite ashamed of yourself for calling them the same class of racism.

The purpose of the tournament was to expand the SEA scene through a grassroots movement. Not gonna happen when people come in from another part of the world and smash on them, is it?

I couldnt agree more. It's not racism, it's just favourism/discrimination based on nationality/citizenship.
