Quoted from chuckwurt:You’re making all tournament situations equal. This was for THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. that changes everything imo.
It was a shocking decision. Plenty of seasoned tournament players agree.
IMO if you enter a tournament, any tournament I don't care what it is, you stick it out to the end.
Quoted from anathematize:Obviously I'm not Keith Elwin but I cannot imagine he gives a damn about how he would look if he managed to 'flail' on a game on stream. He literally has nothing left to prove in the world of competitive pinball and every single person in the building and watching him on stream KNOWS he's the GOAT for a reason. Everybody is capable of having an off game every now and then.
Combine that with the fact that he highly respects Escher and this entire 'controversy' is a complete non-issue. Any sort of negativity levied in his direction is feigned outrage at the most pathetic level.
My only thought is, why enter "any" type of tournament if you have nothing left to prove and don't intend to finish? Thats a general thought on sportsmanship in general, not this specific case. I'd love if someone let me have a win!I am surprised this thread is still active though.
Let's talk about the featured tournament!
Quoted from yancy:Nah, people are just shitposting or promoting their brand.
To be fair that, was a couple of hours ago.
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:I've never stopped being furious about it
Plunge heard round the world outside of glass.
