On January 16, an event was held from a series of official tournaments Mortal Kombat Pro Komphes. The player under the nickname Titaniumtigerzzz went to the finals of the day, but he did not succeed in getting to the next round of competitions – right in the middle of the match he was banned for soft criticism Netherrealm, developers Mortal Kombat 11.
According to Kotaku, in the fatal match Titaniumtigerzz chose the option of Shiva with its own set of tricks – this is one of the features of gameplay MK11. In this case, the name of the set set by the user is displayed on the screen. Titaniumtigerzzz called Whydidnrsdothis – “Why why Netherrealm Studios I did it?". This phrase hung in a broadcast under the scale of the health of Shiva.
And right in the middle of the match there was an emergency break – he confused even leading stream. They began to crumble live: “Unfortunately, we seem to have some kind of problem, someone now … uh, we have an unexpected situation”. Then it was announced that the opponent of the Titaniumtigerzzz was counting the victory, although the match was not over. The broadcast was only said that Titaniumtigerzz violated the rules according to which "everyone should respect each other".
As Titaniumtigerzzz told in a commentary for Casinoadmiral.uk Kotaku, he also did not understand what happened: Gamer played the match for several more minutes and did not know that they no longer showed him on the air. After that, the tournament moderator announced Titaniumtigerzz for immediate disqualification, but did not go into details. Only after some time he was told that the ban happened due to the name of the set of movements for Shiva.
As Titaniumtigerzz explains, Shiva has a DRAGON DROP technique. It cannot be normally blocked, so Dragon Drop gives a very serious advantage. This problem is for professional players in Mortal Kombat So painful that there are whole videos where they explain how to avoid a collision with Dragon Drop to every character in Faiting.
For example, a night wolf is offered to use a special -free -free -scale special -scale, while DRAGON DROP does not have anything. But even shown techniques may not work if Shiva uses Enhanced Dragon Drop.
In general, Dragon Drop – IMBA. Titaniumtigerzzz assures that she did not want to insult anyone and considered it a rather soft criticism of developers. Like, why did they make such a simple character? However, the Titaniumtigerzzz tournament did not give a chance to fix – Ban turned out to be instant. The player says that without hesitation he would have changed the name of the set if he was asked about it.
According to Kotaku, there is nothing specific about the possibility of protesting such cases in the official Mortal Kombat Pro Rules. However, the organizers always reserve the right to disqualify the participant at their discretion, so formally they did not violate the conditions of the event.
Spectators have already begun to support Titaniumtigerzz in social networks, launched the hashtag #WhydidnrsDothis. Titaniumtigerzzz himself says that he does not want to throw Mortal Kombat And he will take up new tournaments if a chance turns up. “This is a professional competition, and I am a competitive player. I might not like how they refuel everyone, but in the end this is their game, but I have no other options ", – says Gamer.
Netherrealm and publisher Warner Bros. Games no longer responds to requests to comment on the situation.
