WCG-domare sågar MYM-chef * *

1
På WCG i Seattle som nyligen spelades agerade svenske BlaZze från FaxZup domare i den konfliktplågade CS-turneringen. Han har nu publicerat en krönika med tankar runt turneringen och konflikterna som så klart har en extra insikt eftersom den är skriven av en domare.
Framförallt får MYM:s chef Mercy ta en sågning för att han blandade sig i konflikten mellan MYM och eSTRO utan att han ska ha haft någon kunskap om rysshoppande. BlaZze misstänker dessutom att Mercys inblandning påverkade domslutet negativt för MYM, vilket ju i sig självt är smått sensationellt.
MYM förlorade den tredje och avgörande kartan och därmed matchen. Laget var väldigt upprörda vilket jag förstår, Nostra som var lagledare var om inte annat ännu mer upprörd och deras ägare eller vad det nu är som kallas Mercy var inne på spelarområdet och gled runt i sin välstruckna kostym och försökte göra en Peter Hedlund. Han förde en lång diskussion med huvuddomaren och under tiden snackade jag med Nostra vid sidan av för att höra hans tankar om allt. Det han hade att säga var "Va fan gör han där, han vet ju fan inte ens vad rysshopp är" om MYM-ledaren Mercy som då höll på att kolla ett demo med huvuddomaren.

[...]

Jag tycker det enbart var fjantigt av ägaren för MYM att gå in och börja kolla demos trots att killen tydligen nästan inte har en aning om vad CS ä.

[...]

Personligen tror jag att det delvis var lite ägaren av MYM som bidrog till att laget fick besluten emot sig.
Det informeras och diskuteras även en hel del om de andra bråk som uppstod under evenemanget, bland annat den hätska stämningen mellan Ryssland och USA som till och med ska ha innehållit dödshot.
Stämmingen var så att smockan låg i luften när amerikanerna skrek "fuck you bitches" vid vunnen runda åt ryssarna. Ryssarna i sin tur kontrade med att mordhota den amerikanska lagledaren. "You're dead, you're so fucking dead" satt han och skrek och gjorde tecken att han skulle skära halsen av honom och hela den ryska fanklubben stod bakom och jublade och skrek åt amarikanerna. Ett tag var stämminingen så hatisk så att domarna var tvungna att gå emellan för annars skulle det ha blivit slagsmål mellan de båda lagkaptenerna eftersom de rusade mot varandra med upphöjda nävar.
Hela den långa krönikan finns att läsa här.

Årets WCG lämnar onekligen en bitter eftersmak och går tävlingsmässigt till historien som organisationens sämsta hittills med mängder av konflikter, hot och bråk.

* Uppdatering: MYM:s Mercy har skrivit ihop ett skarpt svar till BlaZze som finns att läsa nedan:
Normally I do not really bother answering on things like what that Mr. ”BlaZze” from FaxZup states on FaxZup.se and now shown on Fragbite too, but when people are releasing things, statements or talking about what I do, say or did, which are beyond the word wrong, then I simply have to give my reply and correct things.

First of all I would like to clarify that I have no idea whoever BlaZze is and I am surprised that an apparently none knowledgeable WCG admin can speak about something he obviously knows as little about as the rest of the WCG judges knew about their own decisions, rulings and or set of rules, whether that be code of conduct or anything related to sportsmanship or fair play. Enough said? I guess so.

Now the facts, which Mr. BlaZze, for some odd reason do not have, but still feels the urge to document something about a happening which he either was not involved in or is very ignorant about, which is:

1: The MYM CS team leader, Daniel ‘Nostra’ Thornell, was, for some odd reason, denied access to the internal player area, even when he asked several times during the day, the answer was always a blank NO, which means MYM had no representative in the player area besides players and eSTRO had their manager IN the player area and ON sight.

2: I know all about a duck jump, how its performed, with which binds and how it is performed and what is a legal and an illegal jump.

3: I was in the area, first of all as I, besides of being the COO of Regroup Esports A/S, that owns MYM, am the overall sports and team manager for all players and teams in MYM and hence our CS manager was denied access to the area we needed a spokesperson that could see things from two perspectives, which obviously was my person, as other available only where players and they were certainly not in any state or mood for conducting a rational judgment and or talk with those who more or less had them kicked out of the tournament.

4: Apparently Mr BlaZze haven’t been reading what the whole world has and knows and why the decision was taken or based on what, I suggest he reads the official explanation from our CS Manager on myMYM.com.

5: The decision about who could watch the demo was taken from the head judge and he directly denied to talk to ANY of our players and or manager and would ONLY speak to me in person and ONLY allowed me to watch the demo, how is that for the truth?

6: We got to watch the demo in less than 3 minutes and only in 3 specific timeframes of each 10 seconds as that was where the judges judged that something COULD have happened on the eSTRO part about duck-jumping, besides that I was not shown any and they also denied watching more of it as time, according to them, wasn’t there for it.

7: Lastly, we where, even though they would have found something in the demo, already disqualified due to the KF3 comments, so no matter if we would have found something or not MYM was dismissed from the tournament and if they would have found anything in the demo from eSTRO they would also have been thrown out of the tournament. Us wanting and getting to view the demo was merely a “you let eSTRO spend 3 hours on watching a demo” – “Now lets see how much you will give us”, they gave us 3-4 minutes, so it was a statement call and a “I know you aren’t giving us 3 hours” kind of call, only to prove the already known facts and to make a final note of that what they did in this case was 100% wrong.

So with these 7 rather short, but in my eyes very explaining phrases, it should enlighten you and your audience on what actually happened and not just some text that came out from the top of your head in a blue sky. Next time state the truth or nothing at all, your deliberate attempt to make a mock out of my character when there is nothing to it is pathetic, though I will refrain from getting into the same stream of telling stories like you have just done :)

Have a nice day.


Best regards

* Uppdatering 2: FaxZups BlaZze har svarat på Mercys uttalande. Ännu mer läsning finns nedan för de intresserade:
I would like to begin with thanking Mr. Mercy for his response; to question articles is very important if trying to create a dialogue and solve problems. I also encourage everyone, including Mr. Mercy, to read the complete article instead of small quotes; having read everything increases the fairness of the game, so to speak. The article I wrote must not be seen as an attempt to make a mockery out of Mr. Mercy; even though this might seem to be the case. My main goal when commenting on the issues at hand was merely to illustrate yet another example of why the ESport is still to be admitted as a real sport.

That being said I must express that Mr. Mercy’s statement made me feel somewhat uncomfortable; and quite frankly almost intimidated. If my article makes Mr. Mercy feel personally attacked, I do expect him to give me a response. But the response should be as Mr. Mercy the person rather than Mr. Mercy the COO and founder of Regroup Esports. Indeed I do understand the rhetoric Mr. Mercy has decided to use, but one must not disregard the complete irrelevancy in some wordings he uses.

To make this as simple as possible, I have decided to respond to the comments in the same manner and order as they were given.

1: It is completely outrageous that MYM’s CS Manager was not allowed to access the area, I do not dispute this.

2: I do understand that the language could be an obstacle for Mr. Mercy in the interpretation of my article. To keep it as short as possible; I did not claim that he lacked the capability or the awareness to be qualified to enter the discussion regarding the duck jumping. I purely quoted Daniel ‘Nostra’ Thornell who claimed the stated assumption.

3: The fact that MYM’s CS Manager was not allowed to enter the area is, as mentioned earlier, outrageous and very upsetting. It also validates Mr. Mercy’s interference to some extent. It does not validate the fact that he interfered with the official conflict, instead it gives him permission to let the committee know that the team’s CS Manager needs to be granted access. The rules clearly state and I quote:

“The player’s team leader may represent the player at the dispute resolution committee hearing.”
“If the player’s team leader cannot appear at the appointed time of dispute resolution committee hearing, the player will represent himself.”
(Players’ Regulations, WCG)

In other words; only the involved team leader and the player(s) have the authority to plead the case at hand. Neither the COO of Regroup Esports A/S nor MYM’s owner may interfere, according to the rules. One may disagree with the rules and think that they are stupid or even preposterous, but that is about it.

Of course this was a delicate matter and delicate matters require delicate actions. Objectivity as well as communication, a person who could see things from two perspectives, as Mr. Mercy put it, was needed. When watching the movie posted at www.rakaka.se concerning the matter, it is obvious to me that the mentioned qualities were something you lacked. Indeed the matter should have been examined more closely. Perhaps it would have been, if the “rules of engagement” were followed, jokes aside.

4: I must compliment Nostra on his English; the possible problem with communication could evidently not have motivated Mr. Mercy to interfere. One must also admit the risk of bias in the article submitted by Nostra. That being said I do not comment on the content’s authenticity. I also find it quite interesting that Mr. Mercy directs me to an article written by the CS Manager. According to Mercy, Nostra was not even allowed to enter the area. How can a person, who did not witness the events due to being denied access (according to Mr. Mercy), be considered to have published a trustworthy summation? It just does not add up.

5: I only use the specific series of events regarding MYM as an example of the professional spirit ESports to some extent lack. Mr. Mercy may very well have been invited to join the discussions. But that is actually not relevant as my point is that he should not have been there. This being said while completely disregarding the possibility that he was invited or not. Pure and simple; it is not relevant to the point being made in my article.

6: Did Mr. Mercy read the article? I clearly state that I do not agree with the decision that was made. The fact that the decision to allow eSTRO to scan the demos for several hours was made does in no way, as mentioned earlier, grant Mr. Mercy the right to interfere. The rules of engagement must be followed.

7: Once again, I do not agree with the decision that was made. But once again, it does not grant Mr. Mercy permission to interfere. According to the rules as I quoted earlier he has no saying in the matter. It is just that simple.

8: I feel the need to address another matter as well and that is the quotations used by Fragbite that portray the article in a clearly biased manner. This may very well be the exact media exploit Heinrich Böll was talking about when writing the “Lost Honour of Katharina Blum”. Okay, that might be exaggerating things, but once again I encourage everyone to read the complete article.

Yours Sincerely,
Daniel “BlaZze” Wiklund
Just angående citaten i nyheten som BlaZze diskuterade i slutet av sitt svar har vi en kort kommentar (på svenska!):
Syftet med citaten är att lyfta fram särskilt intressanta delar, inte att sammanfatta hela texten. Går man ut och kritiserar en enskild person så häftigt som gjordes i artikeln så får man räkna med att den delen kommer att hamna i fokus.
