Imagine 30 friends messaging you and asking simply how the games went. For example it must be really hard to stay calm when you lost against 5 pool/2 gate/BBS in last game of BO5.
I remember that the day/day before Idra vs Nony broadcast was going to happen, Idra came to TSL channel. He said the games was already played and, and seemed to be in good mood (as far as you tell from chatting). Even though he said absolutely nothing about the games itself, it was pretty obvious he won the series (I mean had he lost he probably wouldn't have come to channel and be all chatty, right). TT1 was in irc during his match against White-Ra...

you can interprete his statements in a way that lets you think that he gave the results away, but you dont have to. i dont know why have to repeat that over and over.
yes your actions are within the rules, you are the hosts of the event afterall. but the rules dont clearly require him to be punished for the statements he made, because these statements did not necessarily give away the results.
i thought i articulated that cleary with each post i made, but apparently i didnt. i hope it is understood now, because im running out of ways to put it.

As I said, the statements don't have to definitively give away the entire score for it to be spoiling. Simply saying "Nony went DT drop against me" and "Nony broke my wall on outsider" without saying the outcome of the match is still spoiling.
I don't know why I have to repeat that over and over... i'm running out of ways to put it These statements were made in a tone that is both condescending and disrespectful. They imply that you are lecturing from some higher position and we are the idiots who need you to explain how things work. Rather, you are the minority opinion among many who agree with how we handled the situation.
You are certainly allowed to disagree, but continue posting in this manner and you will be banned.

"I'm just saying do not watch those fucking games, fucked up... [more expletives, grief, regret] ... fucking starcraft. I can't believe myself what has happened"
You're telling me you can't tell from the tone that he lost? This isn't subtle at all.

I can understand someone arguing that the punishment is too harsh, but I really cannot fathom how someone can argue that Tarson didn't actually spoil the games.
|
Penalizing him by cutting his prize in half seems harsh, but I can't think of any other ways to do it.
|
if he was forewarned of consequences and this rule was known to everyone that full prize money would be lost, then i think tl is being generous with tarson by allowing him 50%.
tl decision approved +10

Look dude. You've got your point across fine. Of course they don't have to punish anyone. Enforcement of the rules is always at the admins discretion. But it is so abundantly clear that he spoiled the games. He agrees he did and so does everyone else. It's fine you don't think so but I'd say 50% of people posting think it's a fitting punishment and 49% think it's lenient. And then there's you. So stop telling Hot_Bid he's wrong. Jesus, it's a free to watch tournament put on by people volunteering their time. It's surreal listening to you and others (like the observer complaint thread) swiping at the admins/staff.

Yeah you're definitely not complaining or arguing. Just keep bitching about it and get yourself temp banned. That's obviously what you're after.

You're telling me you can't tell from the tone that he lost? yes. you cant tell from those statements any result of the matches other than that tarson was not happy with it I disagree. Let's do an analysis, shall we?
"I'm just saying do not watch those fucking games." This statement implies that they are bad games. One would only say to not watch games if they were bad. The swearing adds emphasis.
"fucking games, fucked up... [more expletives, grief, regret] ... fucking starcraft." Rampant swearing. This is characteristic of someone who is more than "not happy." He's fucking furious.
"I can't believe myself what has happened." What could be unexpected? We can infer that the bad games were unexpected. Who expects bad games in the Ro8 in a 10k tourny? Why were the games bad? Because either Tarson or his opponent played poorly.
1. One of the players played poorly resulting in "bad games." 2. One of the players is furious enough to rampantly swear on a forum. 3*. One of the players is posting it, in heat of passion, before the games are even casted
I wonder which one lost.+ Show Spoiler +
Edit: I'm even going to try and clarify it some more. 3* is the context. Tarson posted this before the games were aired.
What would Taron's purpose be of posting this if he had won? To tell people that the games were so poorly played by his opponent that they aren't worth watching? Almost no winner would ever say that because everyone loves being appreciated and few people are that dick-like to their opponents. In addition, why would he be swearing so often if he had won? You can also infer all of this even easier if he know his character (as everyone on his forum would).

Charity? NAH. Hold a mini-tourny. All the cheaters and abusers fight it out for a 125 dollar prize pool

enzym you are posting stuff that just makes no sense..
+ stating u wont watch further tsl games because of this decision is
a) letting u look like a total idiot ( no offense ! ) or b) being tarson who is mad
with a) being the more likely option
I think the decision is fine. Actually it depends on HOW strictly and clearly the players were informed about how important it is not to spoil anything.
I mean if Im a tsl participant and I know that spoiling things is putting me at a big risk of losing my earned money the first thing I will do after playing my games is to log out of battle net and not do anything sc/bw related until the games have been broadcasted.
But I want to emphazie in order to do that I have to KNOW how important this '' not even a slight spoiler '' issue is !
Thus i really hope the admins / people in charge of tsl will again warn the participants and remind them of the fact that keeping the scores for themselves is really really important..

What do you think rules are for? So that people can just break them whenever they feel like it?
He's lucky TL are so lenient. This could easily be a ban from future tournaments too. Why would you want someone in a tournament who doesn't seem to respect the opportunity he's been given? Playing in the TSL is a massive privilege. Many have given up lots of their free time to do this and it deserves respect.
Abiding by the rules IS PART of the tournament. It's not just about playing SC you also have to follow some VERY SIMPLE rules. When you show blatant disrespect for your opponent, the tournament and everyone who is excited about the games; you're giving two fingers to the opportunity you were lucky to have in the first place.

Good job TL. It is not nice reading about penalties, but the sour part of this message is that Tarson spoiled. A penalty is a logical and necessary consequence.

Hmmm, couldn't some suitably devious and malicious individual find 3 relatively obscure Starcraft-related forums, then create an account, with the name of, say, 'Idra', and making one post of the form 'Idra vs Nony TSL result: 3-0! You heard it here first!', for each score, then leak the one with the correct score to TSL admin, after the match, deleting the 'wrong' ones as soon as possible?
