Talking a bit serious now, to be totally honest, Tigers shouldnt even get taken off tennisaces hands, just to start with. You can argument he doesnt play the game as much as other people do (and cant really bring much help in almost all formats as consequence), but the dude has been there since the start, is known for having average to good performances on the sheet year after year, and since when i started being there he always gets to have very respectabe lineups in everybodys eyes, even in PRs (that are always very biased as whole). Last season he finished last, with me and Roro shadow managing a lineup of people like Robjr, Eeveeto, Tace and dekzeh, with all of us underpeforming, and i can tell tennis did everything he could for the team. Sum it all up with his vocal and kind leadership, and the fact Bowman is a very respectabe staff member and i cant see a single reason as to why they werent picked. Very sad for tennis to end his way like this.
It all being said, talking about what actually matters atm: If callous, by the perspective of the TD team was a name to make up for the role and was picked for that, he should never get knocked out. Thats not even disrespectful to him only, but it also hurts the TD team in a way we should never see publicly. The arguments against him are weak, he didnt get punished on forums by doing everything people used as argument against him, and everyone knows how passionate he is about managing. I dont agree with some of his attitudes and already talked with him about my concerns multiple times, but hes for sure not a threat LOOOOL. If it was reported by someone (the guy that he "doxxed" specifically), you could even have an argument, but the way it all have been handled is not just a shame, but also just shows how smogon has a serious failure in the way its moderated. Whoever did it, basically just throwed the Eos power (im saying Eo cause hes the Head TD, but i actually mean the whole TD team) off the window. I strongly think you guys should redo this decision, even if i love llamas, its just unfair to the whole tournament community.
