Random comments that I have to say, and then I'll let the thread die...
First of all, Lamby boy is now my new hero...just gonna throw that out there.
Second, Cash, why is it that you feel the need to keep discussing this, even though you haven't played Hbox in a while...and you didn't even come to this tourney? You are, by definition, ignorant about the events and Hbox's skill level...I must say i'm ignorant about how good he is too. haven't played him in a while...he's coming along nicely from what I saw, but has to learn to adapt his strats just a bit more...but that's pretty normal. He's not amazing, but he's not bad either, and to call him that discredits his skill and makes you look like an ignorant *******. Not that I'm saying anything against you. I just don't think it's your place here at all...
What happened was a bit shady...I'll say that. And hiroshi, the leafgreen thing was as well...that was back when they were using seeding points, so Skrach and Thomas had to play like first round...that was wrong...straight up. In my opinion, if a player forfeits or leaves mid-tourney (which should never really happen), that player should take losses on his next matches. That's still not completely fair, as the next people get byes, but I think it's the best option here. I'm not sure what to say about this particular case...I mean, Dop isn't exactly "bad" either...so yeah. while it was wrong, I really don't think it would have changed anything as far as this single match is concerned.
but what do I know? I'm just a nub.
