Melon, you give me better reasons over and over again to continue my uphill battle. I'd love to be the person you blame for turning away from ranked combat! That's like beating one bird with another bird, and not even having to use a stone!

The fight was to be [b]regulated [/b]by a judge, not T1EA, which wasn't mentioned until later. Say I didn't know anything about T1EA (you probably will say that), so I don't have a specific named ruleset to point at when I say I wanna' play a ranked match. This is wrong, it indicates that you can only fight in a ranked setting if you know about T1EA, or another mechanical version of rules, which isn't mentioned as being mandatory. Surely that's elitist, if it's not required but enforced anyways. The truth that T1EA was only acknowledged later provides me the leverage to say you're wrong if you think I'm breaking established rules or defying them. New rules were being added to the mix, and I was actually willing to find even ground and accept them, in order to satisfy my opponent's distrust.

You've only proven how T1EA isn't perfectly fair or catered to the unique, so why should I want to accept the rules of something that can be seen as illogical, or has mechanical glitches that nobody is willing to rework at this current date in time? I'd rather get rid of it all together from my life, and instead entrust judgment to someone who is catering their own time to reading over my fight, someone I know and trust to make a solid decision. 

It was a judged ranked fight. There's a flaming icon saying 'ranked' next to this topic's title, and someone willing to say they'll judge who wins.
