Context around Boosted situation
Woke up to a lot of tweets this morning and wanted to address everything that's going on. There's a lot of screenshots taken completely out of context. Thank you to individuals like SaltyBae, Lucifer, MustacheDave, Bird, Blondesh, and many more for the support and telling others to wait for my explanation before jumping to conclusions.
Here's my side:
I have been doing scrims in PUBGM for over a year now, and in anything I do, I always give it 110%. I want to give teams the best competitive environment as possible to compete so we as North America can grow as a scene.
Cobos (the manager for Boosted) and I have had a very professional relationship, as some of you might have seen in discord servers just joking around lightheartedly about our teams. Our DMs have been inviting each other to tournaments, or me helping to give some advice for his Duo tournament he is planning (such as timing due to PMCO).
Boosted has always gone to Stalber from my understanding on Erangel. In the past few weeks (usually the last match of the night for scrims) they have hot dropped in Pochinki on us just for fun while the other 90% of the time going to their usual drop spot. I want to make it abundantly clear that this is not an issue of people contesting drop spots, teams are free to contest us or any team if they please but if they are going to contest us, it should be in the spirit of it being advantageous for them to win and not just for fun. Teams like Cloud9 and Pittsburgh Knights have contested us in Pecado in Miramar before. But every time they were 100% serious and committed, landing there Every. Single. Time. for weeks to try to fight us for it. This is not what I have seen and heard from Boosted. I have had conversations with Cobos about this before. He said the first time it happened, his IGL went afk and said to Cobos "the guys wanted to do stupid shit without my permission lol". Cobos told me then that he'd "clear that shit up. Quick. No worries and thanks. We have our drop spot." Last night was around the fourth time it has happened. This wasn't a "they did it once and were banned" type of situation. Since the beginning, Cobos has made it VERY apparent that his team never intended on taking Pochinki.
The reason for removing Boosted initially was because I take competitive integrity seriously and believe every team should enter into each game with the intent to win. I am willing to readmitting Boosted into Tempo/T1 scrims under the assumption that they will take every game seriously.
Cobos and I have talked in VC as well today to work it out in a professional way.
