I really didnt wanna say anything, but I see legitimate issues here that I would like to address, and possibly resolve.
#1-haz has every right to ban/boot somebody from his house, fucking A. its his house,his rules, dont like it? gtfo
#2-this is a community based event, like it or not, arnul IS a member of our community. He’s banned from his house, but not banned from the tournament.
this raises other legitimate concerns.
move the venue? sure, seems like an easy fix right? well, why would haz want to MOVE all the streaming stuff,drive 30 minutes, and still have to set everything up early,then pack it all up after its over, risk damaging/losing anything AND be doing it all just so the guy he just banned from his house can go? seems like alot of extra work for the guy who is essentially doing it all so the person he just banned from his home can play. that just seems rather unrealistic to me, as well as selfish to expect him to do it.
Now, im not gonna talk about whos right or wrong here, cause frankly i feel like there has to be more to this than arnuls SRK post fueled by his last appearance at hazs, and i dont want to get involved other than to resolve potential issues it can cause community based, as this is about OUR community.
So, I have a potential solution, if both parties will agree.
I say we do what we do best around here, and duke it the fuck out. I say we stream it, make it a first to 10, and slap some stakes on it. these are just some ideas, but possibly, if haz wins, arnul will have to play for the REST of the year, on ANY stream, as bitch_ass_arnul, dunno. and if arnul wins, maybe haz will allow him back in?
personally, I hate seeing things like this happen, ultimately it needs to be resolved, and what better way than to fight it out, cause there is no real solution to this problem other than that. This is a great example of why arcades and or public venues are always optimal for this type of event, but I must say i’m very grateful for haz and annies contributions and allowing us into their home. tournaments/casuals are great, but for a community driven season based event, we really shouldn’t be limiting anybody.
