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.
This would all be true if there was no betting involved. Because of the betting every one that bet on the event is affected. They bet based on who they thing is going to win based on the player's strength and savvy. When the player trows the fight all of that goes out the window and the ones that had bet in the event have a real reason to be upset because they lost tokens that they should have rightfully been theirs.
