I am sorry you are upset Roz, but also a little confused and disappointed.
I can't understand how a player could expect to delay a massive tournament, when they were aware they had to go out before joining?
I asked how long you would go out for you said 2.5 hours, this was far to long. We couldn't just sit around and wait, we'd have to stop the tournament/stream/lose all our viewers, many of which from TL. We had something like 930+ last night, was great.
You asked if it was ok to play later, i replied probably foreit since only a semi final. I asked if you'd like me to ask the players if they'd wait for the 3rd place match, since it only worth $10, and doesn't get streamed. I asked for you, turned out to be NEOIndy, he agreed. Up to you if want to play it, but from chat it now appears not? If so i'll give you until the end of the day, if not Indy can take 3rd. You asked the players about the semi on your own, not my idea, i said it was doubtful. Then you had to leave, which is unfortunate.
Your not the only person who had to leave/withdraw for mothers day, but we cannot stop the whole tournament and start up again the next day. Not fair on the 100+ players, 900+ viewers, admin, casters and sponsors.
Sorry about the confusion. I thought i was clear not semi, i'd ask about 3rd for you.
Masters Cup is on every 4 weeks, plenty of chances for someone of your skillset to make the finals.
I dont really think anyone really cares about playing for 3rd, at least not me and not indy. Whether it was fair or not was not the issue here. If u are talking about fair, then it wouldn't be fair to me if anything. You can say that all you said was only for 3rd place, but we all know that was not what went across as i did confirm with you as well. Why would i tell u that EVERYONE including targa was ok with waiting if i was playing for 3rd place? He was my opponent in semis and there was absolutely no chance for me and him to be playing each other for 3rd place. Whatever, what's done is done, i know what was typed to me and so does people in my clan as i copy and pasted to show them while talking to them too.
Also what you said was not to have me forfeit. What was said to me was that if not ALL players are ok with delaying the game, would i still want to play for 3rd place. And it turned out that all players were ok with it and hence what you said earlier to me doesn't even need to be considered.

Why did you sign up to a tournament that you knew you couldnt complete? You have been around long enough to know how long tournaments go for, and that Streamed/TL linked events are very rarely put on hold just for a few games.
Because on the sign up page it said that signs up will close at 3pm and the tournament brackets will be posted right after. So i assumed the tourney was starting at 3pm but instead it started at 4 and my match started even at 4:30pm. So in some ways that was kinda my fault. I could have stayed a little longer to play but i knew i wouldn't finish the finals at that point if i wanted to be on time for dinner. However, what im getting to here is that if i was told i had to forfeit, then i would make the choice of being late or just forfeiting and that would have been ok. I dont know which i would have done but i would have probably stayed because my sisters were gonna be late for dinner anyways. I only went out a bit earlier than i even needed to because i was told that as long as everyone was ok then the match could be delayed, hence there was no reason for me to even risk being a little late for mother's day dinner so i just went out.
