i genuinely dont know how people accuse the guy of matchfixing when he carried as hard as he did. i think that he bet on the enemy team with the idea that even if he loses he'll get some money back to cushion the blow, because he'd still stand to win more by winning the matches. joel is a good player and i really wanna see him do good. and that is not me being sarcastic.

The haters are not only wrong, they need to apologize to the community. Somebody should make a thread where former haters can go apologize and come clean

LOL, B1ad3 complaining about innocent screaming is so ironic - I remember 1.6 it was VERY common to just grill your opponents with some nasty trash talk, of course everyone knew it was just to show off and after the match no one has a grudge... so, if 1.6 guy is complaining about this BS I can say only one word: SALTY
