CHALLENGE The_ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, The_'s CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Where did I write that you "violated the rules" and the principle of "fair play"? And where did I write that you "offended with your comments"? Here, please, you can now answer for your words.

A normal, honest player wouldn't do something like that. It's a shame that there are so few of them.

Lately, Vitaly seems to have gotten a bit cocky with his cynical, mocking comments; he used to be more modest.

And your whole post is written out of complete ignorance...
I'll express my opinion.
I don't have any objections to draws in principle. If such a result is optional, no one can force players to play strictly for a win.
The question is how it was done:

In my opinion, this is the height of disrespect towards the organizer and a slap in the face to the 4th player.
Lately, Vitaly seems to have gotten a bit cocky with his cynical, mocking comments; he used to be more modest. And Lebron and Darkello are also not adding to their karma.
If you really want to arrange a fake draw (and the tournament has just started, and there's plenty of time), you can first ask the organizer, then calmly sort out the situation, and if the organizer doesn't mind such withdrawals, then explain that for such and such reasons, you can't play (for example, you're going on a long vacation), and since the opponents and the organizer agree, we'll post a draw without a game. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Something like that.
But here, neither the organizer nor Toganash was asked. And since the tournament itself is positioned as the Champions League (games of the strongest), with regulations implying many beautiful and spectacular games, and the organizer has put a lot of effort into it, organized a prize fund from his own funds, then at least you need to play the required matches. At least as a sign of "thank you".

Well, and of course, the final decision is up to the organizer, not the AK.
