On May 18 2013 14:44 Dodgin wrote: Ethan Ahn also tweeted that Crank told him about Miya's retirement, just so It's clear, since TB was complaining about him " leaking " the news early. If Crank told him to not publicize it and he still did then that's something to complain about, otherwise not really. when you are told information as a reporter that was not conditioned as being "off the record" before being told, it is "on the record" and free to use in reporting. Journalism is built around a set of standards of reporting and sourcing. While these standards are, of course, separate from personal definitions of trust and relationships and how they influence action (for a write-up that discusses this extremely valid perspective in more detail, see Nazgul's blog), they nevertheless dictate what a journalist can and cannot print, so long as they are ethical from a trade standpoint. Anything you say to a reporter, in any medium, is on the record unless you say otherwise. Anything on the record is subject to replication by a reporter in their news pieces, with full attribution regardless of sensibilities and options. Forum posts, tweets, phone calls, email messages, overheard conversations, direct conversations, Skype conversations, text messages, and even 'private messages' are all, without qualification, on the record. If you wish to speak to a reporter anonymously and on a basis by which what you say cannot be published, you must condition what you say on the reporter's acceptance that what you wish to say is off the record. Off the record sources, by convention, cannot be attributed or published. They are used by reporters as a launching point in a larger attempt to find on the record sources for their reporting. of course, if the information was "off the record," and used anyways, that's a different story entirely. | ||

He had no big achievements and the last opportunity was denied by an MLG admin and maybe by the sportsmanship of some players.. Good luck in the future Miya! | ||

Unfortunately, not everyone can have the winners mentality necessary, and I think it's a good thing to know when to stop. Stubbornness is seen as a good quality by many, but sometimes you have to go one step back to move two steps forward again. | ||

Miya has never really had any results to speak of, and his recent record isn't particularly good. Not to mention the whole WCS Challenger Qualifier incident... I liked him, I feel sad about his retirement, but I don't think this is remotely representative of the situations of the other Axiom players. And that at least is a good thing. :/ | ||

![]() This leaves AA's line up at the bare bones, with Myia now gone and MMA currently in Europe AA have only just enough players to compete in a BO9 format. Also for people saying Coca as a possible new Axiom pick-up, while it would be a great choice and a much needed zerg I can't see it happening. Even though he's been gone for a while he still seems like the kind of player who could command a price Axiom couldn't afford. | ||

It was not punishing any of those players, except for wasting their time, which is quite a light punishment compared to fucking up someone's tournament life. When you buy a lottery ticket with 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 1,2,3,4,5 are already drawn and the hostess draws up a 9 but calls a 6, it isn't punishing you when they fix their mistake(assuming the time passed is not long). But yer, this is my last post on this subject. Not really a fan of his, but I can't help but feel for him. There's no evidence he wouldn't have retired in any case. People blaming Genna for his retirement is presumptuous at best. | ||

Genna should have let the MLG admins take the fall and make the ultimate decision. I feel like her teams interest should have been first priority. Agreed. Slayers Jessica would have backed her player in the same situation. You can knock Jessica for a lot of things but player loyalty isn't one of them.....at least when you don't cross/betray her. :p | ||

Genna DID protest against what happened in the qualifiers and took a stanse for Miya, but ultimately did not think it made sense to punish several other players (who had done nothing wrong) for a mistake MLG made, which is a perfectly reasonable stance. I'm obviously not saying she liked the way things went down, but she had an option to stand by her player's interests and not, and she didn't.

Haha, I don't think you understand the math behind lotteries. What you should have said is "only an idiot buys lottery tickets". | ||

I dont blame them. We can see that even if youre a top class world player its not enough to win against top class korean pros. With KeSpa entering the market HoTS is wayyyyyyyyyy different playing field than WoL. This will def not the last person to retire in the next coming months and I hope the best for them. SC2 doesnt pay well if youre not a kespa player tbh(by time investement i mean) LoL has a better set up than SC2 does. Playing (NA vs NA) (EU vs EU) and (KR vs KR )is the only real way you can create a world wide esport. Blizz failed. | ||

It's unbelievable so many people even care about that. LoL is so successful with that system because of they have so many viewers, too. It's true that LoL is successful with the current system because it has a larger playerbase. However the large amount of viewers is also in part due to the system. If they had went for the Blizzard approach and all the crown favorite team was steam rolled and promptly knocked out the viewership would most likely plummet very quickly. If people only cared about quality of play everyone would watch the Korean and Chinese tournaments, but they don't because they don't know the people playing. If people had gone with a similar system I would guess they would have generated more viewers as well, because people like to tune in and cheer for people they know. Admittedly it is a bit different for SC2 because most people will know the bigger Korean players. And when one nationality has a huge advantage over the rest of the world nationality is not stupid, it is a very real factor you need to consider. If you want a more even playing field where players from all over the world can stand their ground against each other you need to either hold the domination nation back or give the others a boost. Riot went with the second and so far it seems to be working out to some degree. The NA and EU teams have probably not fallen farther behind of the asian teams than before. They're not on par by any means, but it's probably heading in the right direction. I'm not sure if the same can be said for SC2. Then again if you don't care about complete Korean dominance then I guess it's all fine. And good luck to Miya with whatever he decides to do. | ||
