Do you mean in regards to the way this may tarnish the community? Or the fate of Brawl and MLG? Personally, I think the situation just highlights a problematic issue with regard to smash in general.Reposting this because I haven't received a legitimate response.
What you describe is precisely what happened in last years Halo national championship. In a bracket that guaranteed the top 2 teams at least 8th, the underdog seed won every match. The 1 seed lost a series because, up 2-1, an Xbox froze literally half a second before they capped the final flag, and MLG made them replay the game. They lost the replay, and game 5.Honestly, without M2K or ADHD, MLG Dallas will be the Special Olympics. Sure someone unexpected may win, be the national champion of MLG, and win 12.5k, but in everyone's hearts, they didn't.
There's a difference between what some people are doing and throwing under the bus. Some people are just meatriding and siding w/ him. Check all the randoms in this thread going "Oh Jason, thank you for being so honest, I love you, will you 3 stock my *** next time I might happen to play you in a friendly?"Reposting this because I haven't received a legitimate response.
I'm close friends with a member of that team at the time, and although I was frustrated that it caused them to lose, it is still the proper action. Especially with CTF games in Halo 3. You can stop a guy just before he caps and rally to save the match, so any other action would have been unfair.What you describe is precisely what happened in last years Halo national championship.

People rioted in the lobby, then got over it and went home.
I can imagine a full out riot then everybody just dropping what's in their hands and looking around and going home mumbling to eachother.People rioted in the lobby, then got over it and went home.
wow.15-20 **** were just lining up against the wall, waiting for their turn.
magnifecentmarth.... i take it back. u are now the dumbest person in this thread. Ran has been outplayed.
if m2k is having a casual conversation, and somewhere in there says that he cannot beat rich brow, but ADHD would....
It wasn't my fault that he sandbagged, he merely thought I'd have a better chance against Rich Brown right afterwards. He specifically told me that I had a better shot vs. Rich Brown, and that he thought he would lose
LoLoL Ally putting women in check across the nation.Yo saffy start respecting your own boyfriend before posting **** like this, thank you. if you wanna talk about respect, you got a long way to go.
I love you how you didn't highlight the statement directly following where ADHD disapproves of M2K's decision, you little greaser. How does this incriminate ADHD? All he has said in this quote is that HE BELIEVES M2K threw the match, and that he disapproved of him doing so.Seriously, this means that he was attempting to conspire to alter the outcome by trying to make it so that Rich Brown wouldn't take first. If you are trying to defend yourself, then start by not opening your mouth because you are simply incriminating yourself more.I was debating splitting but then I said, "Let's just see what happens," and then I won. I just wanted to talk about the split later. It wasn't my fault that he sandbagged, he merely thought I'd have a better chance against Rich Brown right afterwards. He specifically told me that I had a better shot vs. Rich Brown, and that he thought he would lose--but I didn't agree with that. Then, after I won the tourney, I told him that I'd give him 300 dollars whenever I would see him next. I've split multiple times in the past as a previous tradition, and I have no reason to degrade myself just so I can advance in bracket. I have probably the best record against Mew2king besides anyone else in this Brawl community.
This needs to be re-said.
I think it's funny that m2k somehow tarnished the community and the reputation, BLAHBLAHBLAH, all that nonsense, by his actions somehow.Do you mean in regards to the way this may tarnish the community? Or the fate of Brawl and MLG?
Yeah a lot of people have been meat riding but whateverThere's a difference between what some people are doing and throwing under the bus. Some people are just meatriding and siding w/ him. Check all the randoms in this thread going "Oh Jason, thank you for being so honest, I love you, will you 3 stock my *** next time I might happen to play you in a friendly?"
That makes me just as sick sick as anyone "throwing him under the bus" tbh.
Like I said, though, I don't think either M2K or Wyatt did anything wrong from their side of the story. I also wouldn't doubt that they're telling the truth. The evidence support their claims - Wyatt beats M2K all the time, why would he need to split with him especially with a broken controller? M2K does lack confidence, esp. against Diddy and Wyatt in particular. And unless MLG has specific proof that the money issue was not put together until after the event was over, there really is none other than the slight chance that Wyatt really was THAT scared of M2K.
I think they should both be allowed to compete @ Dallas, and if anything at LEAST Wyatt should. Anyone watching that match, though, could tell that they were both playing to win, albeit that M2K was using DC to hit Wyatt on Brinstar and Wyatt was going under the stage when M2K started to scrooge. But anyone who keeps up with those two knows that they go for crowd effect, especially Wyatt LOL.
I love you how you didn't highlight the statement directly following where ADHD disapproves of M2K's decision, you little greaser. How does this incriminate ADHD? All he has said in this quote is that HE BELIEVES M2K threw the match, and that he disapproved of him doing so.
And, by the way, ADHD saying that HE BELIEVES M2K threw the match is just his opinion. Jason maintains that he tried, but there's no way to really prove that he threw the match unless someone WITNESSED him making clear his intention to throw the match BEFORE the match happened.
So explain to me how this incriminates ADHD? Think before you open your mouth, idiot.
I guess if I play a pro, then I purposefully lose, that pro should be DQ'd because I let him win to change the bracket, right? Regardless of what that pro's opinions or intentions were about me throwing the match?Don't insult me when you are clearly the one not seeing the dots being connected.
ADHD says M2K sandbagged because he though that ADHD would have a better shot against Rich Brown.
The MLG rule exists for the purpose of prohibiting multiple people from ganging up in an attempt to change the outcome of the bracket. M2K believed that he would lose against Rich Brown, so he let ADHD win so that he could go ahead and beat Rich Brown. He was attempting to conspire in such a way to make it so that Rich Brown would not win. This is a direct violation of the MLG rule.
Seriously, learn to analyze before you go spouting insults and making a fool of yourself

Err... It wasn't really a bribe. A bribe would've been M2k offering money to ADHD for a win. Knowing that he was probably going to lose, it was more like "Hey, um... We're friends and stuff, so after you win this, will you give me some money?"so...inb4 lock.
M2K loses confidence, thinks he can bribe ADHD, gets caught. end quote
at least let ADHD back since it was not his idea...and did not actually accept the deal.
Can you quote for me where I say that it incriminates ADHD? It incriminates M2K is all that I said. However, I suppose I did tell ADHD that he should stop talking about it, so it is understandable that it could be misunderstood that I was saying that it incriminates ADHD.
Nice ad hominem attack though. Good try.
Do I need to spell it out? I read your words over about 20 times just to make sure I wasn't accusing you unjustly. No matter how I try to twist this around in my head, there is absolutely no way you are talking about Mew2King in this post.Seriously, this means that he was attempting to conspire to alter the outcome by trying to make it so that Rich Brown wouldn't take first. If you are trying to defend yourself, then start by not opening your mouth because you are simply incriminating yourself more.I was debating splitting but then I said, "Let's just see what happens," and then I won.

Stop trying to justify your original post. Admit it, your wording was too vague, and since you had just quoted ADHD, there was absolutely no way for the reader to tell that you were in fact talking about M2K. Your words read as if they were addressed directly to ADHD because they immediately followed his quote.This incriminates M2K first obviously. Next, it incriminates ADHD because if he felt that M2K WAS purposely throwing the match, then he had an obligation to do something about it such as to tell M2K to stop trying to throw it or to inform another official.
His lack of action against a violation of the rules constitutes a conspiracy. If I am handing you a million dollars in stolen money and you believe that it is stolen money, then despite the fact that I am the one who robbed the bank, not you, you are still obligated to turn me in to the authorities rather than to accept the money.

Also, good ad-hominem attack. By calling me an idiot you proved that you must be right. I mean seriously, how am I supposed to argue against such a sound argument as "you are an idiot?" You sir are a master of argument and debate. Hats off to you.
LOL, he edits his post. Way to look like a greaser. Everyone look at my post before this one if you want to know what he really said first.

Anyone else here with at least high-school level reading comprehension skills will agree with me on this one.
Stop johnning and just admit you made a mistake.
yeah i kinda said that wrong, ah well, its fun to read this thread..Err... It wasn't really a bribe. A bribe would've been M2k offering money to ADHD for a win.

lol
how many times am i allowed to quote this before it gets old?now i can win mlg dallas
sike brawl is wack
No problem. I'm not looking to have an angry or insulting argument about this. I am simply looking to discuss it and try to figure out what the truth here is and what should be done.stupid remark first came from me. My fault, u were wrong about what u posted, but i should not have said that. Sorry.
what about the post where m2k apologizes and shows respect for the community and that he has learned from his mistake?how many times am i allowed to quote this before it gets old?
best post in the entire thread right here LOL
go back to your game with 1 national per year. that post sucked, melee dummies.how many times am i allowed to quote this before it gets old?
best post in the entire thread right here LOL
The truth was that I did ask adhd if he would split, and the true reason I did that is because 1) I didn't think I could beat ADHD in a 3/5 set, then rich brown in an extended set right after.
If the MLG staff prefers to respond with such a major punishment based on nothing but a silly game of telephone and rumors, so be it.
BUT PLEASE, DO NOT RELINQUISH WHAT I FULLY EARNED AT MLG DC. DO NOT TAKE AWAY THE 2,500, THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
If you weren't caring about the money and you haven't even spent any of the money you have won, then why the worry that MLG won't give you the money? Also, why do you worry about splitting pots if you don't need the money anyway?Let me get something straight, Niddo. I don't play for money.
Money isn't my motive to continue in brawl.. as I have every penny I've won off this game stored in my bank account. Don't believe me? I can prove it. I PLAY TO BE THE BEST AND FOR THE COMPETITION. Demanding forfeiting is so out of my character!
Didn't say anything bad on the game, unless saying 1 national per year is harmful, sorry. Melee scrubs + Master haxxxing Brawl hater are dumb.lol why yall hatin on melee?
hate the scrub not the game.
Why would ADHD give a clear no? Why would he EVER assume that this would get blown up like it has? He said to talk about it after the set. Sure it doesn't make him look innocent, per se, but he doesn't look guilty of anything.There's a difference between sandbagging/forfeiting, and doing those with money involved.
"Hey man I don't think I can beat you. You probably will win this set" is much different from
"Hey man I don't think I can beat you. You probably will win this set. Also, could you give me some of the earnings you would make from advancing?"
If M2K sandbagged or "forfeited" to him because he genuinely didn't think he could win, and then completely after the tournament is like "Hey could you give me some money?", that's one thing. But while the tournament was ongoing, even if M2K genuinely did not feel he could beat Wyatt, he should not have asked at the tournament before even playing if they would split money in any way.
I would agree Wyatt should not be punished IF he clearly declined. Even if he changed his mind after the tournament and gave him money. If someone asks you to throw some prize money their way while a tournament is ongoing, and you say anything but a clear No, then you cannot be viewed as completely innocent.
...Is it really relevant?If you weren't caring about the money and you haven't even spent any of the money you have won, then why the worry that MLG won't give you the money? Also, why do you worry about splitting pots if you don't need the money anyway?
Why is it relevant to ADHD if M2K let him win?The problem with this post is that he is admitting that he didn't think he could beat Rich Brown after beating ADHD. This is where the MLG rule finds issue. If he had simply said, I wanted to give up because I didn't think I could beat ADHD and left it at that, then no rule would have possibly been violated. The fact that he mentions that he didn't think that he could beat Rich Brown is where the problem comes in because if by letting ADHD win, he was trying to create a situation where Rich Brown would NOT win, then he broke the rule.
Okay, I see what you're trying to say now and I can sorta agree with this.I admit I edited. This is 100% true. My wording was vague and then I confused myself even. I AM saying that this incriminates ADHD, but I thought that in my first post that I hadn't specifically pointed that out.
M2K broke the rules. ADHD did nothing to stop it. He complied with someone who he believed was breaking the rules. He is guilty too.
