I think people miss why Tweedy was upset at the leaked list. It wasn't solely his exclusion of a guaranteed invite. Rewind, Theo, Honeybee, etc. These are 3 extremely notable figures within NRS games that got no invite, according to the list. One of which is the EVO champ and the other two placed top 3 at EVO within the past 2 years and have quite the following. They weren't getting spots over people who are much less known and active (bless Tyrant, cuz he deserves recognition with his past NRS outings), or are generally barely associated with NRS anymore. The leaked list, for what it's worth, is much better than it could have been...it could have been better, though.
Unfortunately, Tweedy really took to his emotions on this one and did say some really off-base stuff. Who knows if that's specifically why he's been released...but if it is, I hope he learns from this situation.
