Since everyone is writing here, I'll share my opinion too.
Kicking ATG from a nearly won tournament wasn't right. A technical warning, or whatever AK has, would have been enough. However, if AK changes its decision, Alex's sense of self-importance will increase many times over, and it's already visible from 5 km away without a doctor's examination.
I didn't like Forest's show of bravado; I thought he was above that. In short, I agree with what Besha said; it's the most sensible post in the thread, in my opinion.
