[Xeen]

At least you don't get mind fucked by timeouts like those Landstill pilots...

Guess you know something about that ;)

All I've got on g3 is "Raiders resolves turn 2, moon is blasted"

[Nessaja]

He'll hit two basic Islands into Sower of Temptation anyway :)

He should wait till he can cast chalice for 4 to counter that.

How can Kowal get away with listening to music during the top 8 of a GP?

How can Kowal get away with listening to music during the top 8 of a GP?

Because it allows him to miss confidant triggers and give games away.

How's Nassif doing?

There was a conference, and the final ruling was given. Because Kowal had made the mistake in the match already, and had a further warning earlier in the tournament, the ruling was strict: Kowal would be awarded a game loss.

I don't feel bad at all for him. Nice IPod though.

[Enigma]

Do you guys info on TOP4 matchs?

I'm a bit disappointed that David has been stopped by such a weird deck as Nassif's brought.

Whatever, still nice to do top8, win 1000$ and earn an invitation to Pro Tour–Honolulu.

Gratz gooba!

A noble cause.

How's Nassif doing?

I think it's time to be patient on this one. I don't doubt we'll get a post with a lot of capital letters and exclamation points, whether Nasiif wins or loses, and not to mention whoever posts it will post it ASAP so they can be the one that said it first.

Heh. Internet people are funny.

[Artowis]

Guys, when we HAVE information I'm sure it'll be posted. Asking about it isn't going to make it come any faster.

Also, Andy won his semis. It'll be NLU BRASSMAN vs. whoever in the finals.

did mink lose?

Cool? I asked about why he is allowed to listen to music during a match, not about his confidant shenanigans.

I was making what we like to call "a joke". Sorry if it was unfunny.

You're allowed to listen to music at PTQs and other tournaments, just as long as the music isn't distracting to anyone else in the game. If you miss anything though, it's your ass.

[Aggro_zombies]

Cool? I asked about why he is allowed to listen to music during a match, not about his confidant shenanigans.

The answer was because Confidant shenanigans ensued, so the judges figured it was safe because he couldn't have been cheating. If he'd been listening to music and won, there may have been problems.

Because unless the HJ states otherwise, it's fine. He can choose to allow or disallow things like music players at his discretion.
