clckwrkAlkalineViperAlkalineIt took two months just for b4nny to accept my friend request on Steam, for gods sake.He probably gets 20+ friend requests a day.
Yes, and he was told through two different people to accept the request multiple times. I also asked b4nny on stream, again, multiple times. It wasn't like I just added him and waited lol

Add someone else. You're very free to add anyone from the team. The circle jerk surrounding this thread might make you content but I can assure you if I needed to get an interview from a team, I wouldn't add one person and sit like a hen on its egg for multiple weeks. You just have bad management skills.

You are making the issue in the OP worse by dodging it and instead focusing on one guy's issue of getting an interview and his possible handling of it improperly. If a statement about Froyotech not attending the tournament is forthcoming then fine, but it is really bad PR to be posting in the thread about it trying to prove one person wrong on some other matter while not addressing the major problem that the community has brought forward. I'm not some sort of PR manager and obviously you are free to do what you like, but I just want to tell you how you are coming off because I know it can be hard to see how others will see you from your position.

Charles32TevsclckwrkAlkalineDavidTheWinGeknaiirim waiting for b4nny's wall of text to justify everything and then make everyone look like a jackass
Thing is, b4nny was awake and available to play even after streaming until 2am. I don't blame b4nny at all aside from not looking at a roster sooner.

Yeah, almost certainly wasn't b4nny's fault. He probably told his team, but then everyone just peaced or didn't show up. That's happened plenty of times before with Froyo (often screwing other gamers over in the process, like here), and it'll happen again. Pretty sad tbh

And don't even get me started about trying to talk to people on Froyo when writing articles. It took two months just for b4nny to accept my friend request on Steam, for gods sake.

Yeah man you hit the nail on the head. SURELY that was what happened. The only thing that's worse than sensationalized titles are people like you who pretend they know exactly what's happening. Also, here's what you want to do if you want to contact me for something regarding an interview. You send me a PM through absolutely any service available (tftv, twitch, Twitter), tell me why you're adding me, then you send me an invite. Don't send an invite to one person and then get upset when they don't accept the request. You're purposely limiting the things you can do to achieve success in order to complain about it later. Getawhale added me on steam for a similar reason, noticed I wasn't accepting (because I don't look at them), and told me to accept it on Twitch. It's actually that easy.

PRETTY SAD TBH that a post like this was even made

you forgot to mention why you didn't have the decency to wake your sorry ass up in time, kid don't focus on getting tons of friend requests

Oh, yeah, the Steam snooze option is actually just a clock linked to my sleep cycles and it tells everyone that I'm sleeping! Last night we found out very abruptly we couldn't play. We should've been more aware of what was going on as a team, but it was far too late to even contact someone like sideshow to tell him we couldn't play. The best we could've done was send a message to an offline representative, which would've given them only a few hours' notice regardless. I had family over today. I wasn't going to sit around and see if we could scrape together 3 ringers. Sorry! Call me anything you like, but finding out last night we weren't going to field the members meant I was going to dedicate 100% of the time to my family and friends instead of dangling in purgatory waiting for something to happen.

I appreciate your concern with me though, kid.

I'm by no means making excuses for Froyo not showing up, but I think we also need to remember that there was a lack of communication on all sides in regards to this tournament.

b4nny was by far the best player to add from froyotech. he's well known and has been consistently the face of Froyotech as its leader. I chose to have Tery ask b4nny my questions (thanks homie), instead of gambling on another 4g player.

And you're calling my management skills poor right now? Really?! questionable

fireindaarcadeI'm by no means making excuses for Froyo not showing up, but I think we also need to remember that there was a lack of communication on all sides in regards to this tournament.

Yeah some issues with the management (*cough* sideshow *cough*) led to me having to sort out servers, teams and casters as well as trying to stream. However, we had all the behind the scenes stuff sorted fine and barring a few minor player delays the groups went through fine.
