Please help me understand this...what is so manly about forfeiting? And how is not standing up to the TO and speaking up when there is a mistake not manly?meh...let me break it down...
krayzie was the only person to come out of this thing looking in any way manly, by saying "fuck it" and letting it slide on by.
frankly, though, we come off as whiny little bitches, by and large. it is a game. all that arguing and crying is over what amounts to enough money to pay for one meal in a decent restaurant.
There are some people who come to win tournaments and some who come for lunch money. The entire fiasco for me was the difference between winning and losing, so yes, it's a huge fucking deal to me and people will know about it.
To be honest, I saw these mistakes as they happened and I brought up each one of them to the TO in real time. In fact, wasn't half of the stream about me arguing with the TOs? It was like I was the only person who knew what the fuck was going on. I told the TO that winners/losers should be 3 out of 5 and that NFK hasn't been eliminated yet and that I shouldn't have to fight 2 losers finals after coming from winners. In all cases, I wasn't listened to and here we are, in complete chaos.at the end of the day, where was noface during...oh...the entire top 8 tournament? why didn't anyone say a thing until grand finals was starting? if you knew it was 3/5, and WE ALL KNEW THAT...why did nobody say anything? why did everyone play it out 2/3 and then call it a day and then come back crying about it the next week?
like i said on the spot, RTD, there wasn't really anything that could have been done about the situation at that time. sure, it is easy to look back and say "split the pot" or "play 3/5 instead of 2/3" or whatever, but the reality of it is that those simply weren't on the table at the time. jedirobb came over and made a quick executive decision based on what he knew, and that was that. there was really no other solution.
in the end, NFK or I was going to get screwed out of this. Even so, Jedirobb asked NFK what he wanted to do and I wasn't even considered to make the final decision on our outcome. NFK had all of the options in the negotiations and I was left out. After Jedirobb and NFK talked, I was threatened to be eliminated. This gesture alone had me thinking about retirement.
what makes all of this worse for me is that some people are downplaying the situation when they could possibly have no idea how frustrated/violated/molested/abused i felt at the time.
if they just came in here and said "congrats lolo and oh yeah, rtd got fucked", they'd get a guaranteed 'like' from me on their post.
