Right apparently there's a bit of shit going round about this so let's go.

I was 2-2 in groups at ACL before I had to play my team mate Pokerface. If was lucky, a 3-2 finish might be enough to put me through to top 8, assuming everyone else except ninja was 3-2 or worse. Benji did not know my results properly though and thought I had no chance at all of making top 8 so he asked that I throw my games to pokerface purposefully to smooth his way through.

I explained that whilst I had a chance to possibly make top 8 I wouldn't do that. But if I had definitely no chance of making top 8 at all in any way then I would gladly throw the series to a team mate, like I assume anyone else would do for theirs. So I played him properly, won 2-0 and the end result was that poker got top 8 and I did not. No harm done at all, unless you don't like all Zerg top 8's. I myself have been the beneficiary of intentional game throwing in the past and that's perfectly ok.

That's it. That's the entirety of it. Benji is not going to ask someone to purposefully lose a tournament, such a thing is ******* insane and benji is not, it turns out, ******* insane. I dunno how this became a rumour or whatever but it's complete bullshit, so cut it out.

At least that's my view on this. Perhaps I have missed something.
