iD.ret > ToT)Testie(rS@ Nostalgia
On the forums of TeamLiquid.net the TANL administrator Oxy writes an open letter to Testie about the issue. In it, he reveals that just when he logged in, Testie catched Oxy telling him that he might had to leave and not be able to play the finals. They did however start playing, but after two games Testie left. Oxy sees this as a deep letdown and he feels that all his sacrifice with administrating the tournament was in vain. "My own sacrifices in vain, I can live with. But, you didn't just screw me over, you screwed tons of people over." writes Oxy, expressing his sad feelings. He also tells that Oxy respected Testie a lot before the event, and that he even paid Testie's participation fee.
Testie is a controversial player, with the past he has had with maphacking and that he has a big ego. With this in their thoughts and with this to cap it all off, a lot of forum posts at TeamLiquid explain the posters hatred towards this very skilled StarCraft player. Eriador[pG], TeamLiquid administrator and known StarCraft player stated his thoughts about this in the forum thread. He does not really buy that the reason for Testie leaving was to hang out with friends. He believes, among several others in the thread that Testie was afraid of losing. "He didn't play because he was afraid of losing, well, because he thought he would end up losing actually."
iD.ret (pic), newly crowned King Nipple and the winner of 100$ USD, expresses his feelings in the forum thread as well. "Well it's too bad we couldn't finish the series, it's really a sucky ending of a great tournament this way". With this happening, iD.ret takes home the first prize, winning 100$. SoL.Schnibl0r receives the $50 USD for placing third. It seems that Testie won't receive any prize money, despite his second place and forfeiting in the finals.
GosuGamers will try to contact Testie and ask for an interview regarding the matter, but as of now we have not been successful.
