Do not be disingenuous—if you truly didn't care, you wouldn't be spouting such nonsense.

During our conversation after the game, it finally dawned on me why Reb was disqualified and whose script it was. Removing Rebellius gave you excellent chances in the game against me.

I didn't even know that I, without being:
- a tournament organizer or their close associate;
- a tournament judge;
- an organizer from the Portal;
- even an active forum participant or HeroesWorld player whom locals would massively support;
- a participant being cheered for by Sticky himself and most of HW, etc., etc.

somehow miraculously devised and executed a scheme to disqualify Rebellius :smile50:

And most importantly, why? - to gain an advantage in the game against you? What does that advantage consist of? If you look at the poll on the tournament website, Rebellius is not among the favorites, unlike you. Rebellius hasn't won any major tournaments in my memory, which is more than I can say for you. Any HW participant would find this absurd motive laughable. It's obvious that you are a stronger opponent than Rebellius, and it would be more beneficial for me to play against him and send you to the lower bracket to face BK, Tinker, and Vitalik.
Maybe this will finally sink in for you a bit later too.
I hope you won't continue to amuse people by claiming that, while defending your arguments about the saves and thus the judges' decision in favor of your behind-the-scenes ambitions, I wanted to remove Rebellius to gain an advantage over you in the form of a request for an extra restart - you won't. A brilliant plan :D

How you rushed me to start those games!

I'm starting to worry about you more and more. Maybe you're not doing this on purpose and are suffering from partial amnesia? - in which case, it's probably not right to hold a grudge against such people.
I'm simply baffled how you can write something like that, after I told you at least 3 times that I was leaving for the sea from 24.06 to 05.07 and might be tight on time for 2-3 games. Especially with the Euros added on top.

There were results in the bracket according to which I was supposed to play BK; we had already agreed on a game, and you were messaging me and suggesting we play ahead of schedule because Reb would be banned...

As for not playing Reb, just like you not playing BK despite the bracket results, Sticky told both of us, and you know that perfectly well and even wrote about it somewhere on the forum yourself. But the twisted logic is obvious. If Reb gets banned and you start a game with BK, then I'll advance to the final against Maretti. Was that my goal? - then I would have no reason to intercept you from playing BK, but rather play either Maretti or Reb.

The answer to the question "who is more to blame for Reb getting banned?" is actually very simple, and no matter how much you want to turn things inside out, people have always judged and will always judge based on motives (as has been done for centuries in real life when solving crimes). Whoever had the motive (benefit) was the one who needed it.

You directly told me - I dragged you into the upper bracket, so give me a restart.

I didn't drag you into the upper bracket; I indirectly influenced it. Among the judges who voted, my analysis of the saves was only available to Sticky, and both he and Timakh had already formed their opinion on the ban by that point. And my statement that I supported you against my own benefit, and that you could maybe give me a restart, was made after the fact, after you wrote that you would withdraw from the tournament. So there is no cause-and-effect relationship.

The talk about bribes is just ridiculous. You might as well have accused me of blackmail - why hold back?
If you are as conscientious and righteous as you're trying to appear here, there was only one option aligned with that image after Reb's ban: to say that despite the ban, you lost fair and square and should play BK in the lower bracket. And if Sticky "made you," you could have written a post on HW just like in our situation and said that you were acting according to your conscience. But as we can see, Sticky didn't have to persuade you for long.

P.s.: the only thing I'm wrong about is that I considered you a friend in Heroes, and because of your behavior, emotions arose that friends are supposed to say to each other's faces.
