Rogers Cup MSS

[tonedawg1]

Well, the match was on its 3rd day over the deadline. On a Friday when I am usually extremely busy. I allocated about 1 hour and 15 minutes for a match. Which should be more then enough. But since the first point it was plagued by disconnects. After many disconnections, 1 complete set and over 1 hour of playing time, I proposed a coin-toss to my opponent, as it was getting unreasonably laggy and disconnected every 2 games. He decline as he was a set up. I also noticed after the last disconnect that opponent uses Cannon with a wrong weight, I really didn't care for it. About 11 pounds lighter then he was supposed to be. He said to give him 10 minutes to quickly do a proper player....but unfortunately, time had ran out. I had to leave.

My opponent new the rules, and stuck with them to get the match, asking me numerous times (after each disconnect) "if I am retiring".

So in summery, a laggy match with lots of disconnects and game style that I don't like (short slices after serve, short slices mid rally and constant double trigger returning from 10 feet behind the baseline) It seems like my opponent wanted to win at all cost.

True story, no disrespect to my opponent, he did what he had to do.

wow thats lame of him

[djarvik]

Maximo will avenge my retirement! I am sure!

Moving on, lets drop this case. Enough bad blood for me lately.

Sounds really fun. I was also treated to this excellent & beautiful brand of tennis recently myself.

On a serious note, I tried to play Otlichno & Likos earlier this year. Both our matches had TONS of disconnects. But because of the respect & class that both these guys have, we did a coin-toss match and just laughed about the results. Of course, I lost both. Otlichno & Likos, I still owe you guys one.

But this is what ITST should be about. A fun gaming environment where respect & fair play come before winning.

i'll try it but will not be easy, at least my connection with riley is good.

[Andymachine]

I think maybe in these situatuions are final set super tiebreak could be the way ?

[riley108]

yes maximo short points r like drugs and djarvik has no room to talk about short slices, he used a few himself thats when i started and yes i did use double trigger returns but not all the time, ive allways stood behind the baseline as far as i can thats just the way im used to returning, i'm taking nothing away from djarvik he is a great player and played well, but did not want the coin toss as i feel strongly i was dominating the match and most of the rallies we had i think i would of won the 2nd set so i declined the coin toss, my player was not the right weight but that was not to my knowledge, i have now rectified that problem, i do play to win so does everyone on itst thats why i use strong returns alot the buttons are there for a reason some people just use them better than others thats all.

[Otlichno]

my player was not the right weight but that was not to my knowledge

I remember clearly after an exhibition I told you that you had to change the weight of you're character to match the roster. You asked me how to do that and I told you that you had to change the muscle and/or fat. You never actually did that, but I never really bothered to remind you.

[riley108]

i did do it but i bought the new slim ps3 and i must of forgot to do the fat muscle bit... will u people get off my back if u cant compete with me and dont like my style dont play,,, end of

Quite a suspicious thing to do twice.

And no, not everyone plays to win, most people play to have fun.

As for you not wanting the coin toss, didnt you ask brgerflipr for one due to d/c, bit hypocritical there.

And considering you only have around a 50% winning rate in both ms and mss i dont think it is failure to compete with you that has people complaining

[maximo]

riley, u are a good player, but honestly, djarvik can compete with anyone, he is one of the 2 or 3 top players in this game.
Mate, u have too much temperament, u have to relax a bit and enjoy the game

[Otlichno]

Nobody can compete with me.

Elena Dementieva screams my PSN whenever she wins a big point. I think that alone makes me a candidate for most awesome ITST member.

And my winning in MSS is less than 50%!

Totally agree with this statement , When i first met Djarvik i thought it would be close and go either way but he knows every trick in the book and is brilliant at them all simple as that , and yes its just best just enjoying playing him and others

[riley108]

actually coke no i didnt ask for a coin toss, i asked to replay last set

[riley108]

i would'nt listen to brgerflipr anyway, when i beat him after changing tactics he congratulated me by saying how well i played and the level of improvement ive made, i then played the next round match 10 mins after with calvkln i beat him useing the same tactics he then messaged me complaining about my tactics which is fair enough but the message said that brger warned him of my style and tactics was cheap so in yhat instance i'd say he is 2 faced, also i asked brger to replay our last set because of 4 disruptions in it but he said no so thats that but i did'nt come on the forum slating him like players r doing to me, i may have %50 ratio but when i joined i was very poor at the game.. i just dont understand y people bitch at eachother and andy and co i didnt say djarvik could not compete i was just refering

I wouldnt call that 2 faced, i would call that being polite.
And i dont see much difference between asking for a replay and a coin toss
