I was tempted to play today, but I didnt and I wont ever risk my money with these fools again.
So you can call it what you want and try to deflect what is actually going on here by labeling it as "drama," while continuing to shrug off the real issue. But the fact of the matter is that they are messing with peoples money and it simply is not acceptable. IMO anyone who condones what they do is just as culpable. Twitch streamers or people who advertise for them are equally to blame, in the same way Team Pros dismiss rake hikes.
People play this game for a living and when a company takes your money and doesn't provide a service that was part of the deal, then that is lying. It is an injustice and it is immoral. Whether or not they have bots on their site, teams of colluders (which I have seen first hand in SnG formats) or consistently failing servers, which prohibit people from realizing their $equity deep in tournaments, it is wrong.
Imagine if you went to a live event, played through a field of 600+ people, were a top 5 stack with 100 people left and after grinding all day for this tournament they up and said hey you Table 4 Seat 5 get up you have to come outside for an hour while everyone blinds you out. Oh and here is a refund. Better luck next time!
Does this sound logical to you or does it sound like someone just bringing drama into an online thread?
