Also, while gr8tastard's actions this tournament are definitely unsportsmanlike, and I don't believe he deserves the trophy whatsoever, he's actually been pretty tame considering how much hate he's getting. He hasn't flaunted the win, he's been pretty cooperative with TDs (albeit EW's decisions, lets just say "are in his favour"), and hasn't made a big post flaming the crap out of anyone yet. While I think he'd do himself a big favour by relinquishing either the award, the trophy, or both. He deserves to be commended a little for staying relatively calm. Key word: little
The thing that really pissed me off all tournament long was his little entourage, namely Problems and CTC, and specifically in this thread Valentine. Seriously, there's a difference between being a supportive friend defending their actions and being an obnoxious asshole. All tournament long, these users have acted as if they were the 3rd string quarterback of the Super Bowl winners. You're not doing gr8tastard any favours by flaunting his victories, and certainly not helping his reputation by engaging in flame wars. Seriously get a clue. As much as I'd like this tournament to start all over, and as much as I'd like to see gr8tastard disqualified, he has, to his credit, beaten some elite players to get this far. What I'd really like to see is something done about the likes of Problems and CTC, they're the reason the tournament section is so toxic atm.
