Alex Jebailey, the CEO tournament organizer, tweeted something that I thought it was just an unfunny joke at first. But after some replies, it turn out that he's actually mad and shows us what kind of people he is.
As you know, CEO happens at the same time (June 10-12) as ReveLAtions and Daigo Umehara decided to go to ReveLAtions. Jebailey feels that running a tournament is helping the community, but if someone goes to other tournament on the same day, that's not helping! (Hey! You must go only to our church!)
I've never seen a tournament organizer calling out a player like this before, let alone an introvert like Umehara. Funny thing is Alex Valle who is a part of ReveLAtions is an organizer whom people respect. (except jealous ones)
Some people need to stop using "For the Communuty" and take time to look into their own actions. I'm not talking about just tournaments, but for everything. Is it primarily for the fame? Will it obstruct new players? Will it alienate some audience? Are you telling the whole truth? Is there a hidden propaganda?
(And no, this fansite isn't for the community, I do it for myself.)
P.S. I think this's interesting, too.
