Reo is 100% correct in this case.
Far to often people in this community want to coast by on their previous accomplishments (I am probably the worst offender in this). It is time that we put up or shut the fuck up.
Also, this isn't my battle, but recently a pretty highly touted Canadian player challenged a certain "Big Wig" to a ft10 session/money match Jade vs Kit.
The players response? Play it out in tournament.
Why are players afraid of playing other players? Will their epeens and credibility be ruined if they lose?
We are all playing a game. We are not A list celebrities. If I travelled for a tournament and no one wanted to play casuals or money match, I would feel gipped out of the experience. Thats ME! When a recognized top player does something like this and gets turned down by another recognized top player, the only real conclusion that can be drawn is that they are ducking the opponent.
It's sad.
This never happened. It's completely made up. I was told @neorussel wanted to play me and contacted him about what possible tournaments I'd be at. I never told him to "play it out in tournament".
