anti shoutout to kw for being one of the worst and most toxic managers i have ever been under (not that i have been under many cuz im pretty dicks at mons) i would have gone back to get direct logs but as soon as the tour ended kw nuked every channel probably to hide how shit of a manager he is. yes, tens of thousands of lines of teams, teambuilding talk, and other things just deleted on the spot without any notice
and im not even talking about the poor draft strategy
doesn't know how to advocate for his player, just calls out their players for dumb shit without reasoning based on his flawed perspective of the usum ru metagame which he has nearly zero concept of and self admittedly is bad at. finch literally did everything activity/policy wise for this team and is the only reason i didn't cancer from the start
kw put in the konzern alt for 4 weeks only for him to attempt to throw every single one of them into ban because konzern thought he was going to take over the bigs next year and kw wanted to secure a spot in spl most likely (sig said that if i ghosted him to a positive record he would draft me to spl next year when he took over the bigs, which i obviously didn't agree to)
outrageous lineups on a pretty weekly basis: starting players like rylon (who i took 6 consecutive test games off of and lost games and talked shit on me w1 after losing w my team) and benching players like yay or even me who worked our asses off at the beginning of the tournament (yay continued his
outstanding effort through the entire tour but i, the former "tryhard" gave up after week 3 after building 6 sm teams that were used in the first 2 weeks and then got called useless by my manager even though the teams were winning except when sig threw 100% wins). benching leru for inferior players at the beginning of the season (not that anybody on our team was bad, i just feel like everybody knows that leru was just a stronger starting spot).
constantly degrading his team for the absolute dumbest shit ever, such as common teambuilding choices or just any common opinion. the only encouragement was dumbass "motivational speeches" that he dropped in the announcements channel instead of matchups or important information or anything that an announcements channel should be used for
he disappeared for stretches of multiple days at a time, only popping in to @everyone with some dumbass comment like "NOIVERN IS BANNED IN SM THIS WEEK" or another lame "inspirational" message to let everybody know he was online for 5 seconds that day
i dont want to sound like an bitch for shitting on the person who drafted me but this was such an unpleasant tournament for me in so many ways. on the good side, he managed to put up an extremely respectable record in bw ru (although by cheesing his opponents) so good job for that. im also not going to expose the rest of our team bitching about kw's "raging autism" (as one teammate put it) but just know im not the only one
some good things to say:
Finchinator you were amazing this tournament (and are great in general). i wish i had the maturity that you do because clearly I don't from this post. you advocated for me and i didn't want to let you down. thanks for sticking up for me and always being an amazing chat presence as usual
Yay you were also amazing. you never ran out of steam and you gave your best effort for the entire tournament. I'm sorry kw refused to recognize your hard work and kept you benched for most of the season except for the occasional sub in, but hey, we all know how great you are. awesome friend and i'm glad to have gotten to know you more this tour
Bebo you were fun as well, hope to team with you again
leru and the rest of the gang, it was def fun with you guys, sorry it was under this shit circumstance
edit: rylon wasn't that bad
