We played 3 FFA games before this, and there were no arguments between the players, and the 2x2 tournament was also smooth. But in those tournaments, Lucky and Goma weren't together.
You shouldn't blame everything on the participants. You, as the organizer and judge, are primarily to blame for what happened.

Instead of stopping the conflicts right at the beginning, immediately giving the participants a warning to play and not settle scores, otherwise disqualification (and that would have been the end of it),


instead of intervening in the game and stopping what was happening at the moment of the second hit-and-run on Savitar (after the crash),
you just sit there and spit on the ceiling while your favorite, Gomunguls, blatantly cheats on his turn, violating the rules of fair play, and at the same time openly mocks and provokes another participant in the tournament.

If you had maintained order in your tournament, there would have been no arguments, and Savitar wouldn't have burned out. Savik burned out primarily because of your slowness and leniency as a judge.

At the same time, in the end, you, as a judge, didn't do anything to Goma for his incorrect behavior. Facepalm. Or
- violation of the rules of the game (blatant cheating, fundamentally changing the outcome of the game, instead of replaying the turn),
- mocking the opponent,
- openly provoking the opponent,
are not grounds for any sanctions against Goma from the judges? Where are the consequences for Goma for his incorrect behavior towards his opponent?

Just incompetent judging.



And what about the organization?

Here, too, everything is "excellent."
- the chat has turned into a garbage dump, where there is open mudslinging of tournament participants. As an organizer, can you, for example, explain to your viewers that forming alliances is a normal phenomenon for FFA and is fully allowed by the rules? Can you stop the insults directed at the participants of your tournament?

- you, as an organizer, openly favor one of the participants, while also treating some of the tournament players with disdain. Do you think the judge/organizer should be neutral?

- when Savitar burned out (primarily because of your fault as a judge), instead of letting him cool down and resolving the conflict:
for example, explaining that such actions are not grounds for excluding a player from the tournament (and even then, I wouldn't be so sure about that), and that Goma's incorrect actions will not go unnoticed, and that there will be consequences for them (for example, reducing his prize money, etc.). There are many options.
Resolve the conflict so that Savitar returns to the game and finishes the tournament. But no, you don't give a damn,

and at the same time you say something like:
he would have lost anyway, and now he is just demanding that my favorite, Goma, be disqualified from the tournament, because he simply has no chance of winning against Goma in a fair game, if he continues, and it is only for this reason (and not because of Goma's incorrect actions) that Savitar is demanding a disqualification.

And such things are said by the tournament organizer! The organizer, for God's sake! Are you out of your mind?

Are you a telepath and read Savitar's mind to say such a thing?
Are you a psychic and saw the future where Gom would crush Savitar if he continued?
Or maybe Savitar is such a bad player that he has no chance against Goma (even though Savitar has an army and stat advantage), and it is okay to say such things about him? Take some time to find out what Savitar's win rate against Goma is, and what place Savitar and Goma took in the CIS.

The tournament organizer, based on his personal sympathies and assumptions (assumptions, for God's sake!), slanders (slanders, for God's sake!) one of the participants! This is simply a disgrace, I have no other words.

I sincerely hope that the guys will think carefully before participating in your next FFA.
