That's my thoughts and point exactly. It is only a game in end. To get so worked up over prize money that would probably be spent in a week for non-neccesities is rather meaningless. I hope to one day enter an MLG event. When I do, I'll try with the best of my ability to win, with no doubt, but whether or not I do, my main goal is to have fun, meet and learn from other smashers, and better myself as a smasher. Couldn't have said it better.
I live in MO now, not texas. I've beaten all the top players in texas at some point and never split with them. The only time I've split with someone was Hobo4(2008) with Sethlon because he was my teammate/friend and we got 1st/2nd in singles(still played it out) and 1st in teams with like 100 entrants.
Basically, if you have something to say to someone over PM, make sure it isn't over an argument. It gives whoever you PMed the power to do with your words whatever he/she wishes. The idea behind "Private" Messaging can be broken with the power of Ctrl + A and copy.
How do you even prevent this?
Fawk no I'm going hard for first place at Dallas just like any other MLGS =) (Though this was not directed to me I suppose lol)
It's a safe bet that everyone nowadays are having financial trouble. I blame the economy, but that's because scapegoating it seems to be the only fallback reason at this point.
I know that, but lol, Haze got money for last place and losing to me.
I wouldn't. He won the tournament with those payouts. It was the fact that four players got together to split money only between the four of them leaving out the three of us for seemingly no reason, seeming like they were conspiring against us.
Thursday night before Vegas I had a bunch of people over. Before they were leaving we were talking about Vegas and Ally said "If you beat Mike Haze round 1, I'll pay for your trip to Dallas." Xzax then asked if he could as well since we were trying to get there together, and Ally said yes. Even though I thought he was kind of joking, we asked him like 5 times and he assured us it was no joke and he would. Ally further confirmed it in this thread:
And what I'm saying is that him splitting with Mike (not sure why) has no effect on me and Xzax so I don't see why it cancels that deal.
I appreciate you for saying this but I still have to think about it. I mean you did go back on a deal, not treat me like a friend, and post bits of a private conversation I had with you to try and make me look bad...
True dat
he doesn't live in texas. Texas usually only splits if its me/lee in GF or if i win WF's simply because idc about money, never had. Look at any tourney where Razer's won WF's or Dojo's anywhere near the money, no splitting happened lol.
It's generally respect not to quote a private conversation. I'm disappointed to have seen it done.
lmao
You know, I agree. It shouldn't have happened in the first place. But it's things like that that should make people wary of what they PM, because you may never know if it will be kept confidential or not. Unfortunate, really, but it reminds us of the most important variable in life: "what if...".
Seriously though. Everyone is talking about it everywhere...but how does a random *** tournament in Vegas have such a huge pot? Why are random *** people in the top 8?
Which reminds me... Tell your mom to hook me up with a sammich
Don't worry, there wasn't much to ruin.
