look i'm having a tantrum because i lost to moon!! so i wrote a blog to divert the issue and justify my loss........well first of all i lose because i'm a caucasian and i sweat more than an asian does (?????????) does this even make any sense to u?? he whines about everything but to whine about his own caucasian body and compare it to asian?? this is one of the most retarded/biased shit i ever had to read

#10 agrree moon>tod 4ever plz someone tell to tod that he will never beat moon and to stop whines about everything ...heat, computers... some guys dont know to lose ...

(last year)  #15 DooDi

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.

Good decision -.- SirNeo's here take a beer !

(last year)  #19 karltoffel

If words don't change anything you have to take actions to claim your rights; good move by ToD. www.karltoffel.de - my blog =)

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.

(last year)  #23 Dectilon

"plz someone tell to tod that he will never beat moon" Last time he beat him soundly : P Suprise and Terror!

(last year)  #24 robih

#14 he beat the shit outta moon throughout ther whole tourney and you say he will never beat him? grow a brain ... his whining and excuses are ridiculous indeed but it has to be true in some way becvause he would´ve never lost like that to moon

(last year)  #25 rocam

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.

(last year)  #26 K4ni

Right decision.

(last year)  #27 FlaskeWanker

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.

(last year)  #28 Ies-w4X

: ) WORD ! ieS Power !!! Love is a drug !

(last year)  #29 exLeye-

yeah ToD is right... I participated in such as tournaments... so I know what is Ray Of Light

(last year)  #30 ryan

Let's wait for the newest replies from ToD, I think it will come out soon. Self-control!

(last year)  #31 Elymas

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

(last year)  #32 SoLe

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.

(last year)  #33 vhallee

#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.

(last year)  #34 Nordahl

This is such a bad decision from ToD. He might not have liked losing and fully like the conditions, but this was not a strike from his side or something like that, that would show how unhappy he was about the conditions, this was basically letting down all his fans who had been looking forward to his games, and he shouldn't make them pay for it. I line up my hair perfectly!

(last year)  #35 iamRA

sad that tod ffed, -_- the playing conditions and i think the 0-3 loss vs moon affected him badly but heh... lets enjoy the showmatches, gogo FoV, xiaOt & Susiria!! -My might cannot be matched-

(last year)  #36 NoiR

Even though I don't like the fact he threw away a 3rd place match, I can fully understand it, hating heat as well... I'd prolly have done the same would the staff had pissed me off previously.

(last year)  #37 toCuws

Stop being a sour loser and suck it up. Throwing away a chance at money is just stupid. And the "I sweat more than Asians!!!1" argument is just ridiculous.

(last year)  #38 zestzorb

"The asians sweat much less than caucasians do, i think most of people know that, they dont even use deodorant in the morning after showering before going out. They nearly dont sweat at all. So a heat for them is nothing, but for me it means everything, it means my head will get slow and sleepy." That's your problem, mate. You should blame yourself that you're born European, not that the orgas have to provide special treatments for a sweaty guy like you. I like your attitude, ToD. But sometimes you have to learn how to adapt, not to have others adapt for you. Last edited by zestzorb at 26.07.2007, 17:38

http://four-kings.com/index.php?p=blogs&id=29 He did not let down his fans after all.. #34 Seriously what letting down? Eg. Seeing your fav player with his hand injured not playing OR seeing your fav player playing with his hand injured and losing 0-3??

(last year)  #40 wtfomfgbbq

#39 there's a HUGE difference between playing in heat (which all other players experienced as well) and having an injured hand, which is a handicap. Although I truly believe that heat affected tod greatly and that may have caused him to lose to Moon, tod's attitude that "i only lose because of the heat, not because of my opponent" is both insulting and unprofessional, and therefore deserves criticism. Also tod is very moody, yesterday he forfeit the match because he was angry about his loss, then today he realized it's not a big deal and was trying to play the match that he already forfeited in..... u don't see sports teams forfeit the match after losing a game that could've gone either way but had a biased referee? why should tod be granted so much power to ask moon to trade races when the rules forbide switching races, and then why should he be able to forfeit the match, then on next day show up and tell the unprepared opponent that he wants to play after all???

I don't think you guys understand China in the summer. PaTo told me it was like 104 degrees F when he was in China, on average, (40 degrees C for everyone not from the USA).... I don't know about other people, but in the North East of the USA (new york, NJ) our news and weather casters issue a severe weather alert if the temperature ever goes up that high. For caucasians, all your energy and concentration gets sapped out when the temperature is that hot. If the temperature was anything near that, add the body heat of the crowd of fans in an enclosed space and you're immediately talking about unplayable circumstances. Anyone insulting ToD for trying to change these circumstances through protest is clearly missing some part of this equation.

(last year)  #42 xmCarchp

every1 complaning the comment asians dont sweat or whatever, terrible excuse, ur all just stupid people. ToD was refering to heat tolerance. being himself from france, compared to the rough summer from china (my country highest temperature rate in summer is around 36°C and china is higher). and what legato said is totally right, dont base ur oppinions on what looks like a rant + ur ignorance on the subject.

(last year)  #43 kittensandmilk

its tods desicion when it comes down to it, hes trying to make a statement about better conditions for the players and that is his idea so we should respect it causei m sure most of you here never had to play at a pro level while in china in 40 degrees Celsius

(last year)  #44 SoLe

#40 well a person of his caliber and considering his undefeated streak the day before, in an environment with much more cooler atmoshphere, I guess it somewhat justifies that statement. I'd love to see ToD play Moon on comfortable conditions. You're clearly too shortsighted to see ToD sought redemption by seeking to play the 3rd placing match. Your hatred and bias against ToD is so evident. He had no right but he attempted to do it for those fans who missed out and perhaps wanted to see another great game. I love it how you completely ignore all poistive parts of ToD's blog and actions, proves my point even further.
