The coaching discrepancy between Vash and Pugwest at civil war.
As a fellow mac, I wanted to help out vash, the number 2 mac in the world, in any way I could. I was designated as Vash's coach in his set with pug, where pug had no coach. I followed the rules, made sure I stayed within my boundaries and stuck to the 30 2nd timeout rule.
Pug won game 1, I coached vash for 30 seconds, and stopped. In game 2, I said the phrases "Slow" and "play safe" mid match, to which pug immediately turned around and told me to stop, as it was coaching. Right after i said those things to vash, he took a huge risk and ran up and KO punched pug, not exactly playing slow, but it still stands that I offered information that I shouldn't have at the time, so I was very much in the wrong. I wasn't aware those phrases constituted as coaching, but once pug told me, I stopped, and didn't say anything of the kind for the rest of the set. I only offered "Let's go vash" for the remainder of the set. Vash ended up winning the set 2-1.
After this, Pug disputed the results with the pool captain, and got the scores reversed. As I was the designated coach, I violated my role and tainted the results of the set. Pug had the option to agree to a rematch, but understandably declined, as we are competitors.
I cannot express my regret enough for this outcome. To pug, I'm sorry I overstepped my boundaries. To vash, I'm incredibly sorry I cost you your win and your bracket, and I can't make it up to you, and that really sucks. I'm sorry to you, and to everyone who was excited to see vash succeed at this event. I ruined that.
