As there is a lot of posts about Stephano's action in forfeiting in ONOG, I can't seem to find (or perhaps the information is spread throughout) anything about what Tyler did?
I think I got that Tyler lost a game to Catz and forfeited in the group stage? Can anyone else elaborate on the reasons/what happened?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, nobody knows why. Maybe you can send him a PM or ask in his fan club?

Might be covered on SOTG, who knows. Try asking yeah.

a kick in the nackers if I ever saw one.

Tyler's actions haven't really been followed up on because it was group play and it didn't affect anyone's standings in the tourney. It's probably just anger at himself for losing and not wanting to show a 0-4 result in that group (likely). It's a shame...IDK why nony can't shine like he did in BW..big shame.

I heard he was sick.. can't remember, but I think one of the TL staff posted it on twitter/reddit.

Pretty unprofessional behavior by Tyler.
I wonder if this incident will prevent tournament organizers from inviting him in the future.

It was a bit unfair to Catz who had to risk losing to him whereas Stephano and Rotterdam were given free wins.

Give me a fucking break, all you people who were bitching in the other thread about Tyler FF is not the same as Stephano FF a finals match.
Community starting unneeded drama as always.

That is pretty much the jist of it. This was a non-live streamed, pool play match. Much different situation than the Stephano kerfuffle. He showed up on time, played his match and forfeited the other two games to Catz. Unfortunate but, in my mind, acceptable.
Replay pack is available here

Tyler does this every now and then, I imagine he might make an excuse on sotg but more like than not it was a rage (depression?) quit.

I'm sort of curious what everyone else thinks about why TL forums threat this situation different from the only other time I can think about someone [essentially] forfeiting in the group stage, that being Naniwa. I can understand that ONOG is a smaller tournament, but it seems to me that we should hold all professional players in tournaments to the same standard.
(I can understand if they forfeit for good reasons though)

At what point exactly does it become ok to forfeit? Group play, ro16, ro8, ro4, finals?

I didn't even know that Nony forfeited, and to whoever asked why he isn't as good in SC2 as he was in BW, he will be once the game develops more. He has an amazing ability to learn, which is his best attribute.

When you don't want to play anymore.
*shrug* I think a player can do whatever he likes. He's just got to be prepared for consequences.

Pretty much ok until the finals imo
But don't forfeit if you make the tournament change its rules and make everybody wait for you

So Tyler's unprofessional behavior is justified because nobody care about his games?
(Hint: the answer is 'yes')

Apparently that guy just registered to bitch about the TL writeup. Don't give him attention.
