There’s no need to defend anyone here; firstly, it doesn't matter if Stinger or someone else said they were leaving… It’s not about the person but about the gaps in the schedule. I have a good opinion of Stinger and respect him as a strong player… But I think the reasons he listed didn’t happen overnight; we all have problems and lack time at certain periods, but they could have waited for him since there wasn’t much time left. Why withdraw then? That is, more than 2 weeks before the games… And regarding leaks, this isn’t specifically directed at Stinger, but generally towards players who like War Trials (WT)… Players playing WT are slowly becoming newbies; instant starting positions or monster experience, where one angel can easily defeat a Titan, make players soft))...and when such players start playing SoD...suddenly, tantrums and whims begin...and eventually interest disappears, and the player withdraws...what was the point of even starting??? Well, play WT, why register here??...And about “rags”)), I suddenly remembered a story about one newbie)) who had a high opinion of himself)), but lost on rags in an important tournament))...by the way, he also likes WT......... If you have questions about why I am so categorical, here is one example (/topic/at/550202/ )...when a very worthy player suddenly remembers that he doesn't like SoD...
