Tod gives up and PGL adds showmatches

give up, pgl, showmatch, tod

Tod We have recently seen good results from France Human ToD at the PGL, but yesterday he lost against our own superstar Korea, South Nightelves Moon with a score of 3-0. His only prospect is to become 3rd after beating China Human TH000, who lost against China Human Sky. But for unknown reason ToD forfeits the match and gave TH000 the third place for free. In order to fill the time that was reserverd to play the match for the third place they came up with this:

PGL decided to have 3 showmatches. Each match-up will contain of two games and the first round's loser picks the next map. The winner of each game will recieve 1000 RMB, which is approximately 100 Euro. Match-ups look as follows:

China Nightelves suhO
-
Fov Undead Korea, South
 
China Orc xiaOt
-
Sweet Undead Korea, South
 

China Orc Fly

-
Susiria Undead Korea, South

Despite of these sad news we hope for a very thrilling Grand Final. We will update this news as soon we got more news about it. You can have more details in our PGL coverage.

*Update*

Tod has made a blog about it and explains some of the reasons behind his forfeit.

2nd *update*

He allready made a 2nd blog of it.

I don't know the reason behind the forfeit. I think it's just stupid not to play and give up. But I'll enjoy my time with the showmatches though.

Credit to ToD, he made a right decision. And i don't think pro football players want fans running around on the field when they are training to an important match. And pretty bad of PGL to have such a bad security when they only have to take care of 10 players + some managers that dosnt care because they are getting free food anyway.

If words don't change anything you have to take actions to claim your rights; good move by ToD.

Ha laways whined about the heat on asian stages. Before this game he did the perfect tournament and then takes 3-0 :x I think he's right by doing this, maybe some orgas will think.

The players will make the show happen. If you treat them good with the right conditions, you will have a hell of a show.

If you treat them badly, you´ll have the worst show possible.

The PGL, by inviting a player from Europe to play in Asia, should give them the best playing conditions. The environment itself it is not the same, so at least give them proper conditions.

Good decision by ToD and congratulations to Moon for reaching the finals.

No matter what ppl says, I really like ToD. I like his style, and got respect for his way of playing the game. About the heat issue, he has allways been like that, and it really seems to be a problem for him. Thats why I dont understand why ppl are whining about it, its his decision, and if he wants to give a youngster 2000$, he can do it.

Why the hell do you write a news story without even writing what happened? Holy shit..

Good decision by ToD, after all, who would want to watch a pro playing at an utterly terrible level, due to poor playing conditions because of tournament organizers.

As someone said before, if you aren't going to treat the pros properly, then don't expect them to play. Each individual is different and ToD is just more intolerant when it comes to heat, whilst other players may have other intolerances. I'm sure each and everyone of you have your dislikes and could not play to your BEST ability under those conditions.

I respect ToD beacuse he stood up and spoke his mind, not just accept what TERRIBLE conditions they provide you. Hopefully organizers can finally get the SUBTLE message through this boycott.

#32, i agree: you can't play your best under all conditions, and if we talk about the pro level, then it's a hell lot more important.
I'll be nicer when you're smarter.
