BasetradeTV and NoRegreT disagreement escalates - Page 14

Starting from Page 11 and onward, if anyone talks about how Blizzard, TOs, and sponsors should no longer support BTTV and Rifkin, you will be temp banned. This adds NOTHING productive to the discussion and only makes the community look immature.

Additionally, this post deserves to be publicly noticed.

I believe it's important to reveal who is at fault for those who wish to work with either in the future. After all, it was the players who were being punished for the disagreement.

I just wish everyone involved can get back to work togheter and put this in the past. I think it's in the best interest of everybody, especially for us the fans who just want to see good games.

DSK I honestly think what you did is very generous, but I honestly view it as Rifkin being greedy to accept a fan or person outside of the contract for pay for this. This in the end shows me his true colors. If he cared about the fans, then why would you let a fan or someone outside settle something like this? I would have taken a loss if I cared more about fans before having them pay for someone else debt. This only proves, in my opinion of course, that Rifkin is more worried about the money than the fans watching. This to me betrays the brand he supposedly brought up through out the years as BTTV

He didn't pocket the money though. The money goes into his tournaments. Has nothing to do with Rifkin being greedy

Ppl don't have to know the whole story since they're not interested in that. There's apparently a lot of blind hatred towards Rifkin, and truth or facts have nothing to do with it.

just to add to your point...
epic, really cool events that include many good games is good for fans.

BTTV has put on some damn cool events. Its unfortunate that occasionally Rifkin gets involved in nasty mudslinging and this somewhat diminishes the solid work he does.

Following is this pledge, to hold me accountable for, that before May 18th, 2018 I will be depositing the money into the current BTSL Season 1 matcherino, the reasoning for it to not be deposited immediately is to not mess with the current goals & rewards we've been working towards as a community. This money will not be going to my pocket, but towards tournament & players as it was originally intended.

Thank you for helping conclude this ugly chapter.


You've previously stated that ticket proceeds from the matcherino will be used to cover venue costs.



Depositing the money into the matcherino does not necessarily mean the funds will go towards the prize pool, which seems to be what DSK was expecting. Can you make a statement confirming that 100% of the money will go towards the prize pool?

I still think he shouldn't have paid Rifkin but it's his money. I guess Rifkin wanted to save his face by investing money into prize pool.

the matter is not about money; it's about principle

a third party arbitrarily contributing an arbitrary amount of money to resolve a dispute over obligations and commitments is not a resolution.
