According to the governing board for EVO, Justin Wong "underperformed" against Noel Brown in the losers final of a road to EVO tournament. Basically if he gets another yellow card he's suspended and can't play at EVO.

By the under performing is obvious if you watch the video, he has Phoenix on point. I personally can't stand Noel Brown ever since he punched that dude, so I say Justin got what he deserved.

You can read the whole story here.

I think this whole thing is dumb as hell.

Good fuck em now everyone else will get farther.

He was probably in trouble with internet hacker gangs and had to throw the match.

 Yeah, I read this earlier and thought it made sense given the standard that Evo wants to hold itself up to. I can somewhat understand the Phoenix  on point barely even though it is a terrible choice since some people have done it before. But to me, it was when he was using Skrull and had zero idea of how to do the moves. Still though, what was worse, Justin throwing this match and playing a part in trying to get the brackets changed or the work of Noel "hey let's change the rules and make loser's finals 3/5" Brown?

" Noel "hey let's change the rules and make loser's finals 3/5" Brown? "

" He was probably in trouble with internet hacker gangs and had to throw the match. "

I read the story, and the comments, and have concluded that this is kind of really retarded. He has the right t pick stupid characters and deploy stupid strategies all he likes, that's just part of the game. If everyone just kept playing exactly the same why would anyone watch?

but he won the match with Phoenix on point(the first one anyway), he was trolling the hell out of Noel, but i can see why they gave the punishment out

I seen that and was like "What the fuck is this guy doing?"

Justin is a fat cry baby anyway.

He QQs like a bitch and there are dozens and dozens of players better than him.

What?

Why exactly did he punch that guy? Also, the judges or whoever enforces the rules there should have banned him from the tournament for punching that guy.

He's Justin, normally attacking someone is automatic Red card...but Justin brings in money, so they need him in EVO. "

Justin didn't punch anyone...Also, according to whatever it was I just watched. I think it was called Cross Fire, some dude picked up Noel's stuff he had taken out of his pockets (edit for clarity: Noel empties his pockets before playing to be more comfortable) and thrown them on the ground after Noel had lost his first match. Noel then went on to tell him that he did not want anything to do with him for the rest of the tournament because, being fine with trash talk, he was not okay with him throwing his stuff. Dude did not leave Noel alone, Noel punch him in his face. "

Now it's a real sport!

I think I know how people feel when they stumble into a thread about professional StarCraft now.

This has to be one of the lamest things ever.

I guess you can say.... Justin got taken... for a ride

As someone who just recently started to pay attention to the fighting game community, what exactly is going on? Justin (I get who that is, top player dude) gets penalized because he didn't play well? Am I understanding that right? Shouldn't not playing well be it's own punishment?

Also, why did that Noel Brown guy start attacking that other guy? That's not actually related though, right? Kaos is just being disruptive as always.

Wow. This is all really, really stupid.

This is the dumbest thing I read all week and I read some stupid stuff. So, that dude can't play how he wants to?

Also, that one dude is taunting this Noel person and everyone seems surprised he gets a slap? Seems like the expectable thing to do. Talk shit, get hit.

I can completely understnad why they did this. Its basically throwing a match. O and noel Brown beat up smooth viper.

Oh, man did Walter Day issue the card in his arcade game referee's outfit? I really hope so.

I remember him entering tournaments with Dan. And winning them. I don't know, seems a little shady. If they are sure about it just by watching the dropped combos and stuff, then ok, but just by characters - not ok.
Also, he is training hard for that MK tournament, so he probably doesn't care that much about mvc3 atm.

Man, that article was sloppy as hell. I guess when you devote your life to fighting games you can't be arsed to proof-read.

Justin trying to be Kuroda but fails.

Thought I would share this in this thread since it pertains to JWong.

Competitive gaming show Live on Three, after a three-month hiatus, will be making a return beginning at 7PM EST tonight with Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham and Scott "SirScoots" Smith of Evil Geniuses. The show will be under a new banner this go-around, with the show now airing on OneMoreGame.tv, a new weekly broadcast network from the minds of djWHEAT and SirScoots.

Tonight's show will kick off with discussion on the game of the moment, Mortal Kombat. The guys will have special guests Tom Brady and the one and only MarkMan on to discuss whether or not Mortal Kombat has the capability of securing a long-term spot in the competitive fighting gaming scene.

Additionally, Justin Wong and EG team manager SirScoots will address the "controversy" that arose from the recent PowerUp tourney. If you're curious to hear more about what happened, be sure to tune in at 7PM EST on http://www.justin.tv/OneMoreGameTV.

If you can't catch it when it airs live, VODs will be available at this link.

It was an tournament independent of EVO (even though its in association with EVO)vand therefore should not have severed Wong from his placement points. And who's to say Wong isn't allowed to forfeit his position?
