Admin note: So people stop asking in the thread what this topic is about I have edited the info in below
At the recent ACL LAN qualifiers this Sunday:
@sydney tgun - said "t is balanced" instead of GGing and quit. Apologized to iaguz later.
@melbourne deth - threw headset and stormed out of the event without even leaving the game after losing to fourby
@brisbane sensei / minimat said he was calm and fine and if nobody says anything I should remove his name. would be wrong to list him here if he did nothing.
(afterwards tgun came up, shook hand and apologised. It's all cool. Some people just get worked up sometimes, and that was a pretty shitty 2 games to lose)_
After 5 minutes of cooling down, I walked over, shook Iaguz's hand and told him he was the better player and didn't deserve the shit I gave him. Don't make threads without context, please.
Everybody is bound to feel angry/disappointed when they lose, its only human nature and this is even more so for the most competitive players. I know for a fact that PiG and mOOnGLaDe get very mad whenever they lose to players they feel they shouldn't be losing too, I can recall many of their personal vents. But the difference is they never take it out on their opponent or disrespect them. If they get mad, they make it a point to get get mad only at themselves and for playing bad. Every time PiG ends it with a "gg wp" and so does Revenant (in the recent SMU tourney after losing to relative unknown BlitzSPR), every time at tourneys regardless if their opponent just cheesed them and these are attitudes i have a ton of respect for.
It is unsporting to show your anger on your opponent or complain about imbalance and they are also left with a cheapened feeling that they didn't deserve their victory.
Props to tgun for doing the right thing and apologizing to iaguz after he cooled down.
To all the winners today, iaguz and the xGking team for taking all top 3 spots, Westley a very underrated player for a long time winning his first tournament and fourby who recently got picked up by cR and has been improving steadily - I hope your wins didn't lose any significance because of what happened today, they were impressive showings borne from the dedicated training put it and they should get the full respect they deserve.
