I really dont mind the favoritism on stream so much.
What i think is fark up is that Benji chose to take the walk over in this todays match against inFi. If what i heard was correct, inFi asked for a reschedule and benji rejected it. I suspect the reason for it is because of targa's epic humour post somewhr im not gonna link you.
I dont see why a reschedule is not possible since the xGKing guys play almost every night anyways. Some of them didnt even know they are not playing today and getting the walk over iirc. So yeah, dont be bitch. Not only is it unfair to the inFi guys, its unfair to ppl like me who are looking forward to the games. Also, do u want this to set a precedent where teams will reject reschedules hoping to get a walk over?
IMO
Although I agree with almost everything people say, regarding this walk over thing, I don't really agree.
Asking for walkover is asking for a favour. And asking for a favour, getting rejected shouldn't mean to get angry about it. Ok saying this is very sad of me as I'm part of inFi too. BUT, I don't know, asking for a favour, getting rejected, and getting angry about it seems wrong.
And the rule says (if I'm not mistaken) if both teams not agree with reschedule, it ends in walkover. I agree completely with people about Benji being negative about the game more than positive, making offensive jokes etc etc, but rejecting a walkover doesn't seem like something that should be criticised.
I heard that inFi agreed to play in SEACL in regards to games being able to be flexible with the time, but xGKing clearly didn't know this and this is the fault of the admin (not stabbing at them in anyway. Just if this is the issue, Benji isn't the problem).
I don't know. I don't see how rejecting a favour is criticised.
