I'm starting to not like those players that hate losing so much that they can't take a loss with humility. Combo being one of them. He gets pissed at you even if he wins close matches.

It's cool to get salty when you lose, that shows you have a competitive spirit, but some people take it too far.

I've never seen him get pissed at anybody for winning or losing. He gets mad at himself but he's usually a pretty good spirited guy and pretty much a gentleman of the scene.

Now if you would have said Fchamp or Justin Wong you may have had something real to say since they are pretty well known for not taking losses well and being somewhat salty. Especially JWong (Mr. Excuse himself). But, again, it's part of being competitive in gaming though and it adds a bit of character to the scene. If everyone was always downplaying both winning and losing it would be crazy boring. Basically, it would be like watching an MLG event.

If you don't get mad when you lose in a competitive sport/game, then you should probably move on to Farmville. Truth.

@1 dude combofiend is always a gentlemen when he plays you just misinterpret his his frustration he doesn't get mad at other players he gets mad at himself for losing or for having a match closer than it should've been.

Combofiend is right, whoever did the Brackets for Marvel this Evo did an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE job. I've never seen one side of a major tournament like this so weighted in comparison to the other side, absolutely ridiculous.

Didn't ruin the tournament has very easily changed the results for the top 32, top 16, and even the top 8. Poorly done.

AE brackets were goofy at times too. Like having Kindevu, Hart, and Xian in same pool, while a dozen pools have no one of note in them.

And then having Daigo v. Latif in the FIRST match after pools? Why is #2 and #4 from last year's EVO meeting at the top 128?

They just need people to check the brackets better before publishing and they need to take the last year's EVO into account for seeding since many international (and even national) players only come to EVO.

Do you see the look he gives people when he loses. He just stares at you like he wants to stab you. When Justin Wong beat him in the last tournament, you saw him staring at Wong like he wants to punch him.

And even when he beat KaneBlueRiver in pools, he shook his hand but just stared at him like he was saying, "you are nothing".

Where am I crying? I'm just telling you my opinion. I think you're crying considering you are defending someone you don't even know.

@crispylinks77 What does defending someone you don't know have to do with anything if your telling the truth.I also am amazed by the way you can look at the way Combo looks at someone and brake down everything that is going through his mind you must be a mind reader.

Hey hey, don't rag on Crispylinks77. He must obviously be Combofiend, otherwise he wouldn't be able to describe everything that goes through Combo's head and his every reaction!

Such a bad interview, he just fires off questions with no replies or discussion...

Still, very interesting to hear the opinions.
