Seems to me it was bad organization > manager fail > fail people > finals
Bad organization - Seen it before; forgivable.
Manager Fail - Can't do anything about it now since it's over. But that is an misfortune that we cannot get upset at the TO for.
Fail people -
You fail. I heard rather than helping out with Wiis or TVs, a Wii was stolen. Rather than focusing on the tournament, you played friendlies with tournament TVs and Wiis that were supposed to be used for tournament games.
It's amazingly you're own fault for that happening too. Also, epic fail for riot. Money back? You paid, played and lost. "I payed to see the best play" ... yeah right. You payed to play, watching others play is a privileged not a right.
Did anyone seriously think that chanting for your money, refusing to leave, etc would actually DO ANYTHING???
Other than worsen your, the community, and videogame tournaments reputations.
Final - It was still finished, people still had fun.
This is a win amongst the fail.
The a new Wii being payed for to replace the stolen one is the win amongst the fail.
Samurai Panda helping out is the win amongst the fail rioters trying to fight against the rules.
Yes, I believe people will not forget this. People will still be stingy, upset. Others, who actually allowed themselves to have fun be being cool and understanding will still remember that and the fail.
The tourney wasn't a fail
This is the fail of that community.
And what sucks is that so many people have written similar posts. And no one is going to be changed by them. People won't change because of posts.
I was EXTREMELY upset at the manager, and immediately went to the office with him to discuss what had happened, and you will all be sure that I will be talking to his boss about what happened, as I am pissed.
I'm curious about that. Let us know what happened, k.
