He had no reason to ask where Sterling was - Sterling hadn't even been decided as GLaDe's next opponent at that point. Sterling's match against TargA was still yet to be played. Sterling and TargA were tied 1-1. The 3rd game was postponed to today. Sterling never showed up. TargA waited ages before receiving the walkover, and Sterling fell down to the lower bracket, where he immediately received a walkover against GLaDe.
Hendralisk went on to receive a walkover against Sterling, and tgun proceeded to receive a walkover against Hendralisk. But then it seems Hendralisk came online and they revoked the walkover. tgun eventually lost to Hendralisk 0-2, so it's too late for any action to be taken now. The bracket has advanced too far.
So glade didn't even have an opponent to ask after... just waiting for the result of another game... and he gets immediately walked over. That's just ******* dumb. -infinity respect for MLG.

Yep, exactly. His opponent was eliminated from the upper bracket for not showing up, and was immediately rewarded with a free win in the lower bracket despite not being online. Ugh.

How can they justify the revoke of a walkover. Once a decision is made it needs to stick, MLG just lost a tonne of respect I had for the way they ran things.
Putting the 3rd game of a set off until tomorrow is also un-acceptable, the ref who okay that needs to be shot. After being taught the error of their ways with some electric shocks that will just be left on until tomorrow.
I will never rely on MLG to organise me sexual intercourse in a licenced brothel.
I will never rely on MLG to provide me a brewed beverage in a place where beverage brewing occurs
The events taking place liken MLG to teets on a male cow. Useless.
Those players not plagued with fuckups please proceed to dominate.

You can't when glade's manager contacts you... but you can when it's against tgun.
I feel like I should clarify. Yes, he was walked over. However, I had told the admins that I was ok with waiting for him (he asked for a 45-1hr delay due to work). He was walked over at about 1hr20min, then came on shortly after and I wasn't even aware they walked him over in the brackets.
I told the admin it was completely up to him to walk over the opponent: I hate taking ff victories, especially if I'm given notice of why he needed to go afk (boss called him in on emergency: no way I'm taking a walkover by choice).
To give the walkover, and take it back, is really, really stupid. But don't crucify them over that -- GLaDes issue is much worse.
