So tell me about that event. I know there was a lot of commotion with you and DKT. What happened?

chance: Essentially the head admin proposed that we play group play so we all play each other and we get more practice. And I was okay with that, it sounded cool. So, the top 2 go out of the group with the most map wins and they go on to play in the finals. I lost out to Tim by 1 map even though I beat him and DKT, so I was kind of bummed. But, I was like okay that was just how we set it up to win by maps. And I was all ready to leave but then they were like no you have to stay and play DKT for third.

I was confused because I didn't know that was one of the rules. Apparently when the head admin had left another admin came over and continued to discuss things while I was trying to fix my computer. I was in a different isle and I had no idea, I just thought they were reiterating the original rules, but actually they were changing the rules. I was suspicious of the whole thing, because why would someone invoke the rule where you had to play for 3rd and 4th when by default 3rd and 4th are already done. Third and fourth in the group get third and fourth. Then you move on to play the finals because you obviously want to see who the best player is. And then Brian was extremely agitated and just wanted me to play him. I didn't want to play.

I was just frustrated also because I just found out I wasn't going to be moving on through my group because Tim beat rapha and I was pretty happy about beating Brian and going through. Then I find out that and that I have to play Brian again and I was just really upset. I also didn't have enough time to relax or cool off, just "play your match". And it was really just Brian pushing me to play, the admins were like okay we have all day today and tomorrow to play it. Everyone wanted to get it done with except Tim and I. Tim wanted to get it done because his contacts were crusting over. He can't play for 12 hours of the day. We were there for about 12 hours just trying to get the computers working and getting everything ready to go. I was tired, I just played Brian and I didn't want to play. And Brian was pressing the issue. It just bubbled over pretty much and we started going at it pretty much verbally. Eventually I'm just sitting around trying to cool off to get ready to play because they were going to make me play and then Brian was like you know what screw it I forfeit. I was like okay cool I'll take it.

Just the drama between us, I can't imagine how it looks on the outside. If you guys knew Brian and me, we're actually pretty close and get along. I know this really made him angry, though, and he was really pissed at me. He didn't want to talk to me and stuff. Normally we get along really well, but online it's like clash of the egos or something I don't know. Then the tournament we were just exhausted. Plus we were playing on these shuttles so they were lagging every minute or so, which made it frustrating for everyone. So, it just boiled over into what was shown on the stream.
