Collusion during Frosty Faustings VI grands finals caused 3rd place to take all the money - General

I don't really know anything about the FGC, but if you're going to collude, why the fuck would you make it obvious? You can just go along with it under the table without risking your reputation. Especially when it just ends up like that or this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKrIra79fw0[/media]

Is collusion picking characters you're bad at or something? I don't really understand.

Oh man, the smile on ChosenNinja's face when Shinsyn pulls out the #1 pot bonus. I'm siding with the organizers here completely. When I hear the word 'finals', I envision a tense and exciting fight, not 2 people pissing about. There's no fun in that for the audience.

I don't really understand.[/QUOTE] Collusion is, from what I gather, agreeing that you'll both pick characters you aren't amazing at (since a lack of knowledge of the entire roster is more likely to hurt you, it's likely they know a little bit about all characters) and you split the earnings.

[QUOTE=ellibob;43473996]Is collusion picking characters you're bad at or something? I don't really understand.[/QUOTE] Collusion means agreeing with your opponent to split the earnings, so that no matter who wins a match you walk off with something. When people decide to collude they sometimes pick joke characters and just basically yuck it up and make a mockery out of the final match since they're not playing for anything. Spectators don't like that.

You might as well get yourselves into the top 2 then beat the ever living fuck out of each other then split it. It makes no difference.

I never knew what colluding was till today. The people who do that should never be allowed back to those events.

I mean, doesn't everyone hate him because he rage quits, colludes and he's a dick in general?

This wasn't even collusion, they weren't gonna split the money, original plan was to taunt eachother to death, what happened instead was a mirror match because one of them forgot to bind a button to taunt, it was a dick move yes, but not collusion. Besides, they weren't even mad that they lost like 500 bucks combined, because they managed to create the biggest salt mine that will probably be all year :v: Holy fuck the dude was crying about his shit. Haven't seen someone that salty in years. Also I find it funny that the goto person for "omgbanfromtournaments" is chrisg, are you people really that salty about his playstyle? triforce has done shit several times worse than anyone in the fgc combined yet no one ever whines about him.
