I will be cracking down on toxic behavior this week and for future events. The tournaments are being hosted for people to have fun and duel, not to cause a scene and instigate all the other players and mods.

Losses and DQs will be handed out at the discretion of myself and LoftyEs as needed.
LoftyEs has full authority for this tournament to mediate and make calls if any issues arise.

yostraydog is suspended for this week due to toxic behavior during the last tournament.

Please refrain from spamming rule questions and discussions; this thread is for rule set discussion instead: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=88926382&f=147

1v1s, double elimination bracket randomly generated, ft3 matches.
Americas/East region unless both players agree to duel on Europe or west game IP.

Tournament will start on 11/16 at 8pm Eastern Time Zone (12pm UTC)
50 fg buyin
[I will cover the fee for anyone that streams their duels]
75% to first place
25% to second place

Signup: (jsp acc/char name/class)

PM me for an invite to the LD battle.net group we will be using to help people communicate throughout the event or just if you would like to join it.

LoftyEs will help to admin/med as needed during the event.

thegreatwalk/justWalk/necro

Heard Jess was NvTing you with ease

Truth?

Not about your gameplay but for instigating every player you faced, stalling games multiple times, flaming myself and lofty over decisions, having attitude with being gear checked after you checked everyone you faced against, and more.

I'm hosting these tournaments for people to show up and have a good time, go cause a scene somewhere else.

Thankx for the donation!

1.) I didnt instigate anything, I only said ONE single toxic thing AFTER Jess, and his entire bandwagon of losers (Bui etc) CONTINUALLY talked shit NON stop, up until I lost my 1st duels to the sorc. (It was a simple reaction to how Jess, Bui, and Audacity continually flamed me after that).

2.) I Flamed you both over mediation because it was absolute piss poor mediation - Few examples: 1. Audacity refused to duel ANYBODY on east servers, I was asking to see gear and it was denied by him til a med came. after dueling on west on an EAST tournament we didnt have to redo the duels? But I had to redo the duels when conflict of ruies vs Walk. 2. You required me to literally rush a zon at 1 hp vs full in the 2nd duel, but didn't require Jess to play any form of offensive when he repped to full dropping gc's literally 4-6x PER duel every duel with a 4 Dol shield. (If you're going to mediate "l8z" like you did with me and Audacity, you need to do it upon all dynamics, and not throw it out when your friend is dueling).

3.) I never had an issue with gear checks? I was the one requesting gear checks each duel, because I was literally being bm sorbed & chanted by the zon who you didn't force to reset duels vs.


You can run it back and review any footage, and even jsp messages here, of many times Bui & toeshank both were flaming me ridiculously, but no pentalty to them.

You are such a troll are you being serious ROFL

Your banned for being a toxic person asking every person to see items after each round when a mod asked to show your gear you would flash a single gc 50x times

Do yourself a favor and stfu and you'll be allowed in the next one

or keep going and be banned from them all

#JusticeForAustin

dont think jess used a 4 dol shield tho
