I hope this is the stress and fatigue talking because this is a troubling response, keeping in mind, I wasn't there, I don't know how difficult or easy it was to see the screen while playing, but I'll just stick to addressing the arguments:

There is a concept in journalism and in many other fields that "The appearance of impropriety is just as bad as actual impropriety". To use an example, conflict of interest: A judge might be relieved from ruling on a case due to conflict of interest, not because they think the judge is a scumbag (they don't, that's why he's a Judge), they do it because the fact that there is any risk of him swaying the outcome in his favor is enough to put the integrity of the hearing into question regardless of if he did it or did not.

I think it's okay if genuinely "it was out of our control" or "we didn't have enough space to ensure it didn't happen" but to write off his concerns by saying that he's accusing everyone of cheating is just untrue. Worse still if it was merely the decision that the exposure of having a big screen playing games was more important than the integrity (either perceived or real) of the tournament then that's that's really unfortunate. Here is Riot talking about a similar issue at their event on the weekend.

Thanks to Norksman for being a very a good admin, and yourself for your efforts and for trying to quickly fix the issues that arose, but there were genuine problems with this event even before the issues of power or internet that made it difficult to do even my pitiful contribution.
