[Narse]

I dont think it was an issue for you to step down whatsoever, i doubt anyone is asking you that... that needs to not be brought up again.

Regardless of what he wants to play as (and i've been in 20 bsg tournaments now?) i've always been told you play the race your ladder shows. In this case his was Random, he should be playing random as his race. TheRested who is a random player in the BSG plays as Random for his race without issue.

Asrath's last BSG she was doing a similar situation came up and this was the ruling, play the race your ladder is. You can only then switch to the race you play once your icon has changed in your ladder.

There have also been issues in the early days of me playing BSG where a person wanted to play protoss, but his icon was something else, the player was told to be the current race he was for that as well... i can't remember names i just remember the situation unfolding, so this last paragraph is just words i guess?

Ryze has now won two in a row...(has only done two BSG's) the only other person i know who's won 2 in a row is Bluey, who've none of us has seen since.
