Just wanted to explain what happened in the ToT vs. eX Ace match for ESI. We were 3-3 going into the finals and we had to play this Ace match. eX put ChOseN, and ToT) put Ret. The map for the match was Byzantium 2. When we went in the game it was myself Ret and Mondragon as observer. I said I was going to play Random vs. Ret because I didn't like my ZvT chances on Byzantium. So we both went Random to play this game. This started a HUGE flame fest from Mondragon and Ret. You can read from the replay how Ret reacted partially. I wish I'd saved some SS's from what Ret said after. However I just wanted to show the community what ToT) can be like from a players view point. I've been banned from op tot) and I'm continaully flamed by a few players. Not here to post blame, just to show you the inside workings of some ToT)

Replay : http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=14418

P.S. Can't wait to be flamed by ToT) fans! At least make it creative.

Sorry but this 'move' is idiotic and i would appreciate an admin banning you for it.

What do you want to achieve with it ?

I regret nothing of what I said to you. You are a backstabbing piece of shit. You pretend to be someone's friend for a year and then you pull shit like that in some clanwar, when you are playing a 'friend'.

This type of crap, is what takes the competive part and skill part of SC, and just flushes it down the toilet. it turns this game into a luck game, with no skill involved what so-ever. That imo, is about the lamest thing you can do. It has nothing to do with the game that I love so much, It's like playing a coin-flip. What's the point of practising if some no skill douchebag can just throw you into a situation where SC skill has nothing to do with the result of a game?
I'm sure you know that I am better than you at every single race, and would even have a good shot at beating you PvZ ( your best m/u, my worst race). But those are no guarantees as shown in the rep. That makes SC a shit game.
Like I told you before, I have no issues losing to 5 pool. 9 pool. Mass lings, every possible cheese you can think of and it would be fine with it. Because it would be my fault for not scouting and playing properly. But the concept of some gayass random vs random match which could turn out really bad for either one of us, and has no many luck-factors involved is just ridiculous imo, and just about the only thing that can really piss me off this game.

I regret ever playing that game and not just forfeiting as soon as u announced ur gayness.

I really hope you enjoy your build order random vs random luckbox win (1 base vs 12 nexus in pvsp), and this thread!
But I am really really glad that I will never have to deal with you anymore, on my f m or anywhere
else. So I believe I win.

To clarify: the main thing that pissed me off about you doing this is that you had been my friend for such a long time. We played so many games, watched replays, shared advice etc. If some random wanted to do this I wouldn't say a word.. but for a friend to be that gay...just really pissed me off.

wait... ret got upset because Chosen played random?

Isn't playing random allowed? I'd totally go random if it increases my chances of winning.

Actually, I've been wondering for a long time what ret would do against a race picker like himself or a random race player. I guess this is it!

Is this supposed to be new?

IdrA didn't start anything. He's always been that way.

Here are the facts: ret hates playing against Random and Chosen is using this as flame bait.

they should ban you from TL also.

that is as gay as it gets.

if your skill comes from being a retard, go play Combat-EX.

here's my take on the situation. although I can understand Ret's frustration, you have to look at this in the context of what it is: this was a clan war match. it was the ace game, and the winner decided the whole match.

in ANY sport you can think of - a player can and should do whatever necessary short of cheating to get the win. that's just competitive nature and trying to win. friendship has no part in a competitive win/lose situation. as professionals (eX is a sponsored team and ToT is similarly although not in the same sense, but they're professional in my opinion) it should be the duty of the people in the team to be able to separate the competition from the personal relationships.

look at any sport (basketball for example, since I know it best). you have two players who are admittedly really good friends, Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest. in the playoffs, these guys went at each other, elbowing each other, and basically playing really dirty basketball against each other because both were trying to get a competitive advantage. I'm sure none of those elbows or anything impacted or hurt their friendship because it's all just part of the game. you NEED to be able to separate the two.

nobody is disputing the fact that Ret is a better player. Chosen knows Ret is better, which is why he wanted to go random because that would increase his chances of winning; and the main goal is winning. as long as you aren't cheating, the win is the most important thing in a competitive match.

maybe if this was some practice game or fun match, Chosen would have been wrong to do what he did - but in this case he did what could best get him the win. over-reacting just shows a lack of professionalism.

that's just my opinion.

honestly though, race picking has its advantages but it also has its disadvantages, such as in this case where the opponent is random so you don't KNOW the opponent's race and you can't race pick... I thought all race pickers would understand that and come to terms with this weakness.

ret would have had good chances (2/3) by picking Zerg. He just needs to avoid zvz

This is pretty funny because normally this wouldn't be a big deal but Chosen you decided to go random vs a racepicker which I know from personal experience is one of the most annoying things you can do. I didn't watch the replay but Ret why do you act like Chosen did something illegal or unethical?

choosing random is retarded. Even more so than racepicking, which is beyond retarded as well.

Both are a disgrace to the great gods of starcraft

a racepicker raging to this extent over random is pretty pot/kettle. Calling someone a faggot going on like that is more than Idra has ever done, especially proclaiming your friendship over because he chose random. Jesus, grow up.
