chad was on vita fire, not cold. he used full fire facet build vs gemmd in semi-finals and didn't say anything until explicitly asked.

also with this logic you would also expected him to have aggressed vs my blizz sorc in brackets. this was also not the case as he was running from me the entire time spamming meteors

Yeah this is something that I am also curious about.
Ive dueled a blizzer during the tourney that did the same thing.
I just expected it as much from a blizzer not everyone is aggro.
Is this still within the rules?
I personally dont mind defensive play as I think it is a means to winning.
I think this should be clearly defined so we dont have debates like this after the fact.


Okay just reread the comments about it being a fireball sorc.
Still, curious about wether or not being defensive is against the rules even as a fire sorc. Still personally think it is a viable strategy to win a competition.

I can play the game on Saturday afternoon or Sunday night EST/CST.



Don't say I was running away from you when I was spamming you with FBs from a safe distance. It's a build advantage of FB sorc, so obviously I'm going to use it to my favor.

Only times when I ran away was to break your obvious namelock, and then back to the business of chipping away at you.

Cold sorc has damage advantage vs. fire, so stomping or overly aggressive play get punished easily.

Also, spamming meteors is no different than spamming blizz, so I'm not sure what is your problem with that.



>overly defensive with no skill
>5:0, 5 minute semi-final

pick one

I understand you are still upset, bucko.

As I understand it there are 2 schools of thought as to what constitutes "acceptable behavior". Therefore, the oversight of matches by referees is inconsistent. Its not beneficial to discuss this just prior to the finals but I will bring this up again in D2A noting this was something I am and was aware of. On a go-forward (i.e. after this tournament ends) I will draft some wording up (if none provided) to mitigate against similar issues and as guidance for the referee's and players sothat there are no surprises for anyone.

so wrong it hurts...ask raizen and dantravbaby how defensively they had to play to beat my cold sorc on the svs ladder. if you seriously think that cold sorc is supposed to be the one to aggro vs fire sorc in this matchup i don't know what else to say.

as for meteor, it's invisible 90% of the time because of the change to the workings on cast time/invisi projectiles from LoD. which is different than invisi blizz because there's no delay before it comes down.



so ref or no ref?

I'm not saying FB has to play defensively to win, learn to read with comprehension. Junior.

"don't say i was running away from you when i was safely spamming fbs off screen and teleporting away whenever you had namelock"

"i'm not saying FB has to play defensively to win but i will spam fbs off screen and break namelock whenever you have it"

ref. I would refer to post 510. the nuance to my subsequent post was - next time there will be a blurb for ref's to refer to as to what is expected / how the match would look.

You are not much of a benchmark when it comes to skill or ability to play a sorc, so I'm not surprised Dan & Rich beat you easily while being recklessly aggressive.

I'm going to beat you in a Tal-Rasha set.
