The Winter Brawl 8 Hype and Updates Thread

Lets be real here. You just lost a hard fought set to get in to top 8. You are probably angry and disappointed, but you go to shake the guys hand anyway. Then you see the other guy start to popoff. Are you really going to sit there and watch him gloat about beating you, just so you can shake his hand.

You guys are blowing this way out of proportion. If he had slapped Glass Sword's hand away that would be different, but not waiting around to shake his hand is perfectly acceptable and is what most people would do.
To be clear, if GS denied prior handshakes it vastly changes the situation and I can understand Oxygen's behavior much more....but for the sake of argument I'll assume a hypothetical scenario where that did not happen:

Obviously if I was in that position I'd be beyond salty and it would really suck to have to see the guy who just defeated me popoff like christmas just happened early....but frankly I would *understand* it because if it had gone the other way I'd probably be doing the exact same thing.

not shaking before match is a focus thing, I doubt sword meant any ill by it and will probably be embarrassed by the whole ordeal after wb is done with.
Probably...this sounds like a huge misunderstanding due to poor form from both parties.

In any case -- after everything that happened today, a handshake is def. not the story to be talking about right now.

Let's discuss the fact that Oxygen was a ridiculous breakout surprise; and Glass Sword stepped it up majorly and had one of the biggest (if not the biggest) performances of his tournament career! :D

I have a procedure. Where I shake right after the button check. It is like the flag being waved to start. I shook his hand then. I'm sorry that I was not very polite. I'll try to be more aware of it. I did not mean to step on any toes just lost my self a little.
Dude it's over

A 17 year old is hella salty that he got bodied by fadora super powers

Focus now on tomorrow

No problem. I think we're all making too big a deal out of this, both with regards to you and your opponent. It was an extremely well played set and I'm thrilled to see you make top 8.

I really liked watching Viking 305 play. He seemed like a really complete Zod, and definitely has to be mentioned when talking about top zods IMO.

Tell him to come to FR

Also seeing how glass sword has never beat me I'll be curious to see tomorrow

I'd never bet against a Viking but I like GlassSword.

Too many good players to say who is best. That's like saying there is a best porn star. Theyre all good for the most part. Some are better than others in certain MU's but overall I love them equally.
