Here's what not everyone knows, pot splitting has been going on for a long time and is very notorious in the marvel scene, I can't remember the last event I went to where I did not hear from a very good source that marvel top 8 is NOT splitting. Thats right, not just the two people in grand finals, it'll usually be all of top 8. And what's really fucked up is, sometimes it includes players who know the right top players, that did not even make it into top 8, and at the same time, will exclude players that DID make it into top 8, but arent seen as a threat, or are not best friends with a threat. This happened at one of the smallest majors I have been to, and this also happens at the biggest major in the united states.
But here's the thing, you can't do anything about it. The players are gonna do what they want to do with their money, it's their money. Evo thinks they have done something about it by making out checks in their names to the big money prize winners, but they'll just send the difference over via paypal when they get home.
My point is, that pot splitting wasnt the issue here, it was not hiding it. And I think that was a shot at vxg, showing everyone that neither of us care who is "VXG" champion, but what happened at evo? I dont know for a fact that those two split (or probably even more especially considering there was more money than a regular major) but they probably did and they still played the fucking game and didnt pick their troll team. I don't think they should be punished, and I especially don't think the TO should be punished but its just very disrespectful as a player to your friends and fans watching at home.
