All I can think of reading Keits's post is how he'll have to remove that UBB formatting when it gets posted on other sites (lol). What a sad story, but at least it's all summed up and people can read it for themselves. Thanks for posting that.

I'm glad that sad is what you took away from it, because that is how I am feeling too.

God, Keits. From an outsider's perspective, Fanatiq never really seemed like he was on the up-and-up, but he's definitely showing lower class and lower social skills on a monthly basis now.

After reading your whole post, one of the main things I took away is that you and your crew really do give a shit about running a fair and fun tournament. Shame that I can't make it this year, but I'll be rooting for my friends that will be going over there from Colorado, and I'll have the stream open to see all the action that I will sadly miss. :/

GAF with all the hot scoops!


Sad but interesting story of how someone will try to game a system/tourney meant to be about fun and community.

I am dissapointed players act this way, but i'm happy you put it to light its the only way we are going to clean it up is if we put things like this on blast.

Injustice patch out today, been going through it all morning. These balance changes are interesing.

May make a last minute decision to go to UFGT after all, but 1) not preregistered since I had no intention on going and 2) would ned to carpool since tickets are unreasonable now, well see

After repeat offenses of idiocy, I find it hard to feel sad for Fanatiq when I feel he explicitly does this stuff for this exact desired result. It's a win-win for him, and he even expresses as such on his streams.

Respect to Keits, Curly and co. for setting an example and not bending over backwards for people that feel they deserve preferential treatment. Hopefully other TOs follow this too but I doubt it.
 
I'm pretty sure if Fanatiq did register for a GAF account he'd put his promo code as his username and always remind you how you could save money thanks to him.

I don't think you should feel sad. I think you should feel proud that you stuck to your guns and refused to budge. I think that if anyone should take anything from this, it is that asking for special treatment is a scumbag move for anyone.

If Fanatiq gets a GAF account he'll get banned for self promotion in some LoL thread before he gets banned for saying something stupid otherwise.

I saved money thanks to him by never buying nor considering any AGE product until they stop sponsoring him.

I'd hope some mod tags him "Save 10% off all GAF apparel by using promo code AGEFANATIQ"

You know, for the 2 people each year who visit the GAF store

What do you think about the Deathstroke and Sinestro changes? How are you liking Batgirl so far?

I think Batgirl is gonna end up being the bane of zoners, especially lame Superman players.

Keits runs the only major that has not only consistently finished on time, but EARLY!!! As a streamer it is hard to put into words how awesome this is.

Props for fleshing out the what has been going on behind the scenes.

Damn I used to enjoy watching Fanatiq's stream late at night when I was bored and have been a fan since the OG Mahvel days, but his ego and callousness have become readily apparent over the past year.

Tizoc, I love how all of your postings for these videos seem like you're really excited and then for SFxT you always post: "Some Street Fighter X Tekken matches... "

Fanatiq Drama
Keits, Fanatiq had ample notice and plenty of time to know about the event itself, registration times and the planned panel. He has no one to blame but himself for his lack of preparedness and rudeness.
Same for knives and scheduling... He knew when the event was ahead of time and could've taken time off for it.

lol, yeah I really should put a little more oomph there, tbh it's one of my fav. fighting games from last year, but I just link to whatever is SSF4EVO's latest batch of videos haha.

Hey, some CvS2 footage I haven't seen yet. Time to waste 40 minutes!

Keits already knows how I feel on this. I don't understand what happened to Fanatiq. Dude used to not be the salt of the earth; hell, I remember playing some sweet board games with him and Keits a while back. When'd he suddenly decide to become a tool?

I used to, too. I promoted his streams because i found them entertaining, especially when he was doing music stuff. Fanatiq is a funny, smart, interesting person. it's a shame he can't act like a civilized adult when he disagrees with something or see past his own nose.

Probably after he got sponsored by AGE and won the RayRay MM. He will probably revert back to Loren mode if he gets unsponsored. I am sure there were inklings before as well but now its just overt.

While I will be putting money on Fanatiq in his MM against CJ, I hope someone brings him down a notch. Dude used to be at least entertaining and Loren seemed like a nice enough guy but AGE Fanatiq is slowly turning full heel status.

Maybe you could be part of the Injustice testers panel if you go.

Can Art get a saturday pool?

He didn't pre-reg. He will not be seeded regionally or by skill at this point. He will be dropped into random pools if he makes it during emergency reg hours, and being that he is one of the best SFxT players, thats going to stir that tournament up.

I was just joking, I know you run an event with integrity.

I'm sure Keits was aware you were joking, but it's Adam's thing to respond to joke statements super-goddamn-serious. :p

I really wanted to be on that eSports / FGC panel, but I didn't know it was going to happen. I have a lot of interesting stuff to say about those topics! They got some good dudes up there, though, so I'm happy.

CAN IT BE THURSDAY ALREADY?

Even scarier: when you hear people say "we don't want our community to change" when referring to how the FGC is so "resistant" to "becoming eSports," this is precisely the kind of shit we seem to be afraid of.
