Because that'd be retarded? There just needs to be a "disable all chat" option for tournament play.
Most of the pros have a tournament-only account they use (or a team account with all the cards) that has no friends except practice partners in case the player doesn't have a full deck in a particular region. However, I think Rdu was just inexperienced and made a stupid mistake taking a friend-full account, and it's the first time I've seen this happen in an HS competition. I think a precedent needs to be set, similar to other games, where if you receive any messages at all during a game, then you forfeit that match. I don't hold it against Rdu atm though. I'm saltier that Amaz didn't Swipe off the Doomsayer in G1. Or wrath + run TBK into it. Anything except lose all your board presence when you know the Mage depends on Alexstraza to win.
Well there is not an option to disable all chat for tournament play so until that feature is put in place how about we require blank friend lists?
Right. You draw an extra card in Magic you get a game loss even if was a simple mistake that was 100% irrelevant to the board state. You pause at any time during a round with any fighting game and you lose the round. One of your idiot friends messages you shit during a match of Hearthstone you get a game loss.
Call me a Lumie, but I am more suspicious of the message "HUA HUA HUA SAINT LAWRENCE" that he received when his opponent drew Leeroy.
Oh for fuck's sake.
Which is why I draw my cards face down on the table for putting them into my hand. If I draw extra I can then see that and put it back without penalty. But yeah any messages at all in the game should be at the very least a game loss. In magic if anyone says anything to me that gives outside info in a match that is at competitive rule level that is an auto game loss.
I learned many many years ago, when it comes to Blizzard games, Grayson is always right!
I also started an EU account since NA was down.
Why not go even farther into the extreme and ban him for life.
