I like how everyone here talking shit about froyo really doesnt know whats going on at all and when an invite player has anything to say about froyo that is actually reasonable they get an instant -38 frags. Granted, Clockwork couldve came off in a better manner but when people who really dont know what is going on are bashing them when its already over with and you cant do anything to bring it back, I DONT BLAME HIM. Everyone needs to chill take a step back and look at it from their perspective (Timezone issues, Family, Last-minute occurances) Everyone who has been talking shit about Froyo needs to stop because in doing so you are worsening the situation and being counterproductive.

Just my thoughts.

Sorry, Not Sorry.

People didn't -frag clock for his reasons, they -fragged him because instead of giving reasons he just tried to pick on one person

Yeah I'm just waiting to get -20 frags because I said that all of this was just some simple miscommunication. :/ Hope people read what b4nny and others have posted and realize that all of this was really just a lack of communication between multiple parties, which happens, and quit bashing froyo for not showing up/saying why they didn't show up.

This can be avoided if instead of b4nny showing a pic of his team offline, he (or another Froyo member) could have better explained the situation. not saying it was b4nny's fault, just agree it was terrible communication

I got your back dude.

Even then, its still incredibly counterproductive to be talking shit about the issue when you have no say in the issue. You (among others) were just theory-crafting and worsening the issue without any true knowledge of what happened. Like I had said granted he probably should have came off in a better manner, but I dont blame him.

The thing with this though is...

- August 13th

I have to assume this somewhat of an agreement happened before this blog post. Considering that and then seeing it as basically set in stone via this blog post, I just hope you guys ended up having the fullest of intentions of going through with it. If up front it was a straight up "maybe", then I wouldn't consider it Froyo's fault Valve advertised you guys in such a light.

edit: Unless I am understanding this blog post incorrectly.

tldr froyo got lazy and frgot to go to tournament b4nny is sorry. it was thier mistake. ok.

who the fuck cares haha. u guys all need to chill out. Lets play some fucking video games!!!

I didn't say anything about the issue, all I said was that basically telling somebody to fuck off is not the right way to deal with the situation even if it is what you feel

This is probably really late but I feel like everyone is waiting for this enormous apology from each individual member of Froyotech and they are. You guys are seriously blowing this out of proportion in the way that each member most likely had a valid excuse and 3 members have already given some sort of explanation albeit two of them had a rude way of saying it, but they can't just sit there and stand getting talked about in a bad manner and not respond rudely. I understand that since they are the #1 team in North America that they should have an air of professionalism circling around them but at this point of the thread I don't think a lot of teams could handle all this trashtalk about them. I agree that they do need to apologize but I'm not sure that a thread with near 210 posts all talking about them in a bad manner, this isn't the end of the world and half of Froyo do their own part in streaming and trying to get more and more people to play this game and in no way missing one tournament can possibly kill this games hopes of staying alive.

this slip up effected probably <1% of the people who have posted in this thread and ur talking like ur some epic froyotech insiders. get some info before you post. ur all like donald trump if he was on tftv

A lot of assumptions were made that in an ideal situation shouldn't, also some people could've approached the issue more cautiously. But the burden to be the better men, in this situation, falls more heavily on Froyo's side. Frustration, as I've already said, is to be expected if someone simply doesn't show up for a highly important(in it's context) event like this. A more mature and adequate position from clockwork, imo, would be to first keep his chill and explain the circumstances that led to today, then, secondly, address Alkaline's posts without any sarcasm.

why care when you dont have to and still do well

shit happens, there were still some amazing games that was played

I can't believe you guys managed to get 100 posts on this thread. Over a situation that was clearly a mistake..

Anyone who actually finds what they did that big of a deal really needs to relax.

This has to be the most cancerous thing ever... All the time I hear people talking about how great the TF2 community is. And I agree. The TF2 community is usually pretty great. I enjoy being apart of it. And then I read all through this thread... I'll admit, after watching nearly the entire GGG stream today, I was a little disappointed to not see Froyotech, awful ping or nah. But that didn't take away from my enjoyment of seeing good TF2. It genuinely made me even more hyped for i55. And then I get on good old teamfortress.tv and see this thread. Normally I'm excited for some juicy drama, but this isnt drama. This is a bunch of people striking out at others and it is really disgusting. Honestly, this thread should be removed, everyone should forget about this, enjoy the rest of the GGG tournament, and just be happy until i55.

why can't we be friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5OXON8vIaA

I am also disappointed that I couldn't see froyotech in the GGG. I waited until 5 am to watch froyotech, but sad that they didn't show up.
However, there was certainly a miscommunication between people who managed the GGG and froyotech.
B4nny has no fault at all.

Take the time to read the entire quote before you jump on somebody for a single word, especially when it's irrelevant to the rest of the post and the topic at hand. The quote he responded to by Charles32Tevs had the word "kid" in it. At this point, I feel it's completely justified. The majority of people in this thread are acting like, and truly are, children. Some of us have real jobs. Some of us don't live with our parents, and on the rare chances we get to see them, family comes first. Trying to communicating between NA and EU is difficult, at best, when it things come up. This is just a game, and shit happens.

Dude just let this thread die, froyo and management had unfortanate misunderstanding, and some angry people grabbed their pitchforks, and some froyo members were justifiably angry that unjust anger was being directed at them. B4nny cleared things up and The End.

There were some sweet frags though, can't wait for beater's frag compilation

Last person to post is the man
