I don't know maybe it's because I'm older I can see why others are up in alms. Everyone who's saying it was Yue's to give away is half right, it was and no actual rules were obviously broken. However, I'm surprised at the flippant attitude being shown towards those who are upset by this.
Yue is by far the best player on the Asia-Pacific servers and thoroughly deserve that accolade. She gave away the CW to a guild mate, fine. But would she'd done the same if she faced an opponent who wasn't in her guild, I think everyone knows the answer to that, a resounding no. If the boot was on the other foot I bet there would be one or two here who'd complain about that.
Tynon isn't a sport, agreed but it is a game and does require a degree of sportmanship that's why there are rules and TOS. CWF isn't a guild event, it's an individual competition for the best players to come out on top, yes it could be tweaked a bit but nevertheless that's what it is. So if a player is prepared to throw a match it's his/her choice but that player must be prepared to do it for everyone rather than just his/her guildies or friends.

Agreed Morgan but it is up to an individual on how they go about playing the game. You may put a lot of rules on how to play but we as human beings will always try to bend them as far as we can or find a way around them to gain an advantage.
Just so we do not loose the facts Nixon and Yue did make the final fair and square. So if Yue threw the final for Nixon it is Yue's decision and only his/her's to make.
I'll remember the above comment next time I play in a chess tournament. "Sorry guys I decided that I'll make the pieces move how I like because it's a choice as an individual and bending the rules to give myself an advantage is OK as a human being it's what we do". How quickly do you think I'll be disqualified? Rules are there for a reason, trying to justify it as you did is nonsense.
No one is arguing that Nixon and Yue got to the final fair and square, that's fact. What you and some of the others are failing to understand is to anyone in the Asia-Pacific division that isn't a member of Fries, this was a slap in the face because if they got to the final Yue wouldn't have given to them. Now do you see why to some this wasn't fair?

I am not a member of Fries but I am in the Asia/pacific server. Yue is by far the strongest and they would have no hope against him/her so winning against him/her is not an option for anyone else. If they made it to the finals that should be good enough for them. As to her not throwing the game for them is again his/her option not mine not yours not anyone else's but her's and her's alone.
You failed to understand when I said bending of the rules. To do that you have to be smart enough to gain an advantage but at the same time not get penalised for it. What do you think happens in sports all over the world?

You still haven't got this have you? No one has said that it wasn't Yue's choice to throw it but rather she did in favour of a guild mate something she wouldn't do to anyone out side of Fries. That's an imbalance, stop listening the the 'cool kidz' and use your own common sense. Yue is an excellent player and that is something that should be celebrated but this smacks of using CW to suit one group's end.
The last comment isn't smart. Still doesn't justify any 'rule bending'.

I think you don't get it. Yes if you are living in a fantasy world then what you say is true but we are not so lets us get back to reality. Why would Yue throw a game for someone who is not in his guild? The only reason he threw it to help a guild member, now is that so hard for you all to understand. Was it against the game rules no, was it in the spirit of the game no, did it upset a few people yes. But then they did not make the finals did they so their reason to be upset is pointless.
Those upset want to stop this, it is simple get to the finals.
Don't make it to complicated Morgan look at it as what it is nothing more. Don't go into the world of what if's.
