That answer your question Bard?

Also, I've already spoken to Dox about this and it is fine - but he suggested I let everyone know.

SenSei is NOT playing on his account for this tournament. As with the above rule American Protoss from team MYi.shinyA is playing on his account - this is fine with tournament admins. But any prizes or qualification goes to shinyA - not SenSei.

Really sorry guys, I wasn't really ready to play this tournament in the first place. It's 6:20 am and I have to wake up at 9:00 am so I really wanted to get SOME sleep and if I played a bo5 I wouldn't really get any.

Thanks for the tournament, it was great. Sorry to upset anyone by the forfeit, I wanted to push on as long as I could and show good games but my eyes are bleeding!

appaling behaviour from shinya, very dissapointed.

Really guys? Cmon it's not like this is the first time this has happened. I remember not too long ago tgun had to go out to watch a movie and bailed from a tournament when he was in UB finals, and he even got given the win. All he wanted to do was play in the tournament and go as far as he could - he wanted to forfeit after beating mafia and let mafia go through to keep playing but I convinced him to keep going, and he made 2 more rounds vs deth and jookto in really intense games which would take it out of anyone let alone at 6am in the morning.

didn't realise i was being retarded by stating that i was underwhelmed by a walkover in the grand finals, sorry for my horrendously offensive behaviour

wasn't directed at you, was just generally stating cause everyone seemed to have a problem with it.

Big difference with my issue. I'm not going to comment on this tournament (as I have no idea what actually happened) but with my tournament, it was a qualifying tournament and everyone didn't care about seeding -- this one, only first gets seeding (iirc).

[SLCN.Petrify]

Hi guys, most of you haven't seen me on SEA before as this was my first tournament on here, just wanted to say thanks a great tournament and I hope you'll be seeing more of me around. It was surreal to 2-0 rossi (even though game 1 was just luck, game 2 i thought you were doing mvp style mech from iem and ive been coming up with how to beat that), and get casted playing pig

thanks all

I agree, while it sucks that he didn't contest the final spot. The second paragraph sums it up. He won his position fair and square. He is entitled to forfeit it.

I was talking to him after he forfeited - he regrets not playing the final but realised that he had hit his wall in what he could do. He was well over tired. He admits that in his state - PiG would have beaten him. So he felt he would best serve himself by forfeiting. The player has the right to give up and throw in the towel. He earnt his spot in the final, it was his choice not to contest the final. I don't see what was wrong in this.

shinyA wants to be more active in the SEA community - he is from HK, but lives in the US. He wanted to show some entertaining games and when he'd found out he'd made a few prizes - his time was well spent and he was happy to see one of SEA's best (PiG) take the seed into the final tournament.

[NvRossi]

the only issue in my eyes is you did not make it clear that you were not sensei... for example mafia had no idea that he was vsing a smurf...

[Eddie]

I had no idea he wasn't Sensei while playing him either. Was very well mannered though. Good games.

Next time just be a bit more informative of your real id if not using your own account. It's only fair to know who you're really up against in a tournament environment.

Quick Comments

	nirvAnA:	Yup what Rossi and Eddie said!
	NOM:	this

[cRSenSei]

Trust me I know how annoying it can be when you lose to someone and find out it's a smurf. In the first wT- weekly I lost first round to ZooM who was using some bronze account smurf who went on to win the tournament. However at the time I was asking him who he was after he beat me and he kept denying he was a smurf and pretending to be bronze. I'm under the assumption all that happened between ShinyA and Mafia/Eddie was glhf + gg no questions asked.

As soon as I logged on last night I joined his games vs deth and made sure to let dan know that it wasn't me. Now he knows for next time to come and post in the thread to say he is playing on my account.

[SFTAElessar]

This sounds sick! I just hope the next to Qualifiers from SEA are NOT Zerg

[Dox]

Just another reminder that I need all participants to e-mail me (d.reball@aclpro.com.au) their replays after each qualifier. I'm getting my ass kicked by GosuGamers because I've got 3 peoples' replays after 2 qualifiers.

[Dox]

Bump. Still not getting any replays people. I'm really at a loss here. I need you to help me out.

Registration links for Bracket #3 and Bracket #4 have been added to the OP. Once again, if you signed up via Playhem, you'll have to do it again via the new Challonge links. Challonge account is required.

Also note that you can attach replays directly to the bracket during the event, if you don't want to be bothered e-mailing them to me at the end. Either way, I really need them. Sponsors are noooooot happy.

:( what fags

[ShinyA]

I just sent all mine, which would consist of all the top side bracket for the #2 quali so you should be good there. ( wasn't sure if you already had mine or not but resent them anyways ).

[Dox]

Bump. The next qualifier is THIS Wednesday! Sign up via the Challonge link in the OP and please, please, please send me your replays from the event! This is getting really, really bad.


(Sorry about the broken pics, my FTP is undergoing maintenance and will be back up tomorrow)

HEY. SEND DOX YOUR MOTHER F U C K I N G REPLAYS.

Seriously, they're 50kbs or something, and you should have it autosaved.
