After the tournament concluded, I think just PM'ing Rifkin directly or through a third party might have had a more positive effect. It would have avoided all these pitchforks that wait for personalities in the community to slip up, and even if he did blow you off then you could still bring it here. However, I would bet that talking to him in private would have helped you understand where he was coming from and possibly helped him better handle these situations in the future.

BasetradeTV has done a ton of shit for SC2 these past couple years, enough to forgive much more than this.


Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis so much thiiiiiiiiiiiiis


I actually did PM Rifkin while he was casting Astrea vs Kane.
He didn't even acknowledge what I wrote to him and logged off of bnet.

Rifkin,

You clearly have no business experience.

You could have just said "We apologize for any inconvenience in our tournament and take your complaints very seriously. Thank you for your detailed review of this incident."

It's basically a socially acceptable "fuck you" in business speak. Please keep that in mind next time. No more tantrums.

I don't know anything about the tournament situation, but I'll say I know who ladders that account and it is legitimately rank 1 GM with zerg.

Very sensible, thanks! Couldn't echo this more – while it may not have been the BEST way to handle what went down, there's really no point in getting up in arms about it either, especially considering how much hard work this BasetradeTV guy puts into the scene...

Because he wouldn't get the same amount or probably more criticism for that response

Kind of fun that Rifkin's response in the thread looks much worse than what he was being attacked for in the first place

While I agree that this is an unfortunate turn of events and both parties could have handled it better, I don't think airing out dirty laundry on TL is healthy for anyone. If they want to settle this matter they can take it to PMs, but pot shots from forum posters isn't going to help.

I'm locking this thread so it's still readable, but I'm stopping the "discussion" here.
