The problem with this community:
1.) Top players and TO's constantly bitch, "You need to get off your ass and off online and come support your game at tournaments!", but when they do they are treated with absolute disrespect, can barely get a casual warm up before their pool, top name players HOGGING the station with no regard towards anyone else, and then when they voice their tournament experience, they are passively aggressively antagonized by the likes of Shock and other TO's.
To a normal individual, this is UNACCEPTABLE.
2.) How often do we hear people say, "tweet everyone you know, let the world know KDZ is about to fight Forever King". LOL.
Well first off, the commentary is utter shit. You have Flip Kev (or whatever his name is) constantly side tracking, barely commenting on the hype match in front of him. OR....DMS or whomever constantly dropping the "N" word, because he is black, that has nothing to do with what is happening on screen.
So you want me, and my clients, and my business associates (who deal with multi-million dollar accounts) to chime in and listen to you drop the "N" word constantly and barely commentate the match. I DON'T THINK SO, BRO.
Could you imagine if me and a fellow gay dude constantly said "[ban incoming]", and commented on their looks? Yeah...no one would give a shit. Get your shit together, the commentary is anything but tolerable.
To a normal individual, this is UNACCEPTABLE.
3.) The utter shadiness of you people running the scene.
So many post's are coming in about how utterly RIDICULOUS this tournament was and how they were treated.
Need we go back to when 16bit and Pig were accused of rigging brackets? Need we deal with players who are on "staff" taking 3 hour breaks to play casuals? It's utterly astonishing you want to blame the hundreds of people who paid money to attend, when in fact the shadiness all lies with the people controlling shit. Shame on all of you.
So...NO...the only "Leaf" that needs to be turned is to replace all of "you". I have received so many texts and messages from popular players/members saying this is shit and "quite frankly it will never end with these people in control".
People have spent money and they are pissed. Perhaps we need new leadership?
