I have a placement on my nursing course which sadly coincides with the event, so I had to pull out. Incidentally, whoever thought of charging people for flight cancellations is a CUNT.
Were I going however, I would have absolutely no intention of trying to win it - I'd treat it like any other tournament I go to: a chance to learn first hand from better players.
Explain to me where in here it says you meant the states only? I only pulled you up because saying Malek hasn't won anything lately is just... Bogus.
Of course it's a business. Everyone in the states knew what I was talking about including Malek which I dont expect him to say. This is an American forum and we welcome all to join, but Malek hasnt won anything since I returned from Afghanistan and been back on the scene here. What's bogus is you defending Malek like you're his manager. Malek already know what it is and I wish you were coming so I could show you too.
I do not go to tourneys to lay down and discredit myself as a joke. U keep that up because you seen to be really good at it. Furthermore, it's too late to learn on SCIV the game ran it's course and this is the last major for it in the states.
