I vouched for the Phoenix stuff, and I said that I talked with whomever it was after their match with Thomas and we were cool, but I will agree that if you are in GA you do need to have some thick skin. And Ice, for the record, I did that after I won my match with Noel during tournament, but I did dance in front of him along with Clint, Beast, and Ike after the money match. In fact I do believe there are videos of both shows of outright disrespect if anyone wants to try and Youtube search that shit.
I’ve had my arm threatened to be broken by people serious enough to try it, I’ve had literally 30+ people dissing me at once during a match, and I have had Justin Wong and Noel Brown (You my homie if you see this dog. Rep that Vega) at the same time working some weird ass good cop bad cop shit trying to goad me in to a money match (Iceman can vouch for this) and that all happened at last years Final Round.
Play in this community, expect disrespect, accept disrespect, in state and out.
If you think that the anti hype between regions is bad now…
WAIT UNTIL FINAL ROUND SON I’M GONNA SIDE BET AGAINST YOU FUCKERS!
Nah seriously. I don’t get why people are so mad about this. Just root on who you want to root. If the person getting hated on can’t take it, its on them.
I was in conversation with multiple people about the rising of the talent in ga but a lot of the so called top players would always crap on the names I would throw into the hat but then play politics on forums talking about our growth etc etc.
At the tournament multiple individuals who thought they were better then they actually are lost matches but wouldn’t own up to there loss, just made excuses as to why they lost.
Only thing you did wrong was never get hype after you defeat someone lol
to anotak: i’m sorry if it seemed like we were demeaning your friends, but at no point would we intentionally do that. we all share the value of cheering on rather than talk down the opponent.
Actually I did get hype after I beat JTO, I just didn’t do it on the spot. I found Wizzlecroff in the other corner and told him and a few others then I started shouting. I was very excited cause that was my first time beating him in tournament.
When I was talking to anotak at the tourney he wasn’t really mad at you guys for being so hype, he just wanted a little hype of his own to even the playing field.
Personally I keep forgetting that Raph and Thomas are from Alabama.
I wasn’t there but was the Dunwoody stuff just casuals? If so, why so serious? Sounds like you guys would of hyped a kitten crossing the street that night or something.
Eshi, Ivysaur, and Daysoo, who are probably our 3 strongest BB players, haven’t shown up for the past two Revivals. Things should be different when they start showing up.
Also on the matter of cheering/rooting, I think people should cheer for who they want to, be it friends, unknowns, etc., but disrespect (calling opponent scrub, bitch, etc.) is going overboard & those that do should be prepared for their reaction or those in their crew. I’ve been a witness to this first hand & can say it’s not pretty, but overall, everyone needs to worry about Final Round coming up & the games that they have to most passion about, fuck all this High School bickering, I want GA to really stand out other than in the 3D fighters this year, I’m busting my ass in a no name game which has no credibility to most, but I know FR is a huge event for that community & I’m trying to build up somewhat of a community here for the future so that when I’m gone or other veterans are no longer here, someone knows that people DO play, that’s all. And this was not a rant, just my two cents, I’ll be a Tech this friday for those that are interested in Melty mainly, but I play 3s & CvS2, pce.
