Re: Ungracious professionalism at internationals?
I'm as cynical as they come, but to me this looks like a communication issue. Some teams in the division, including presumably those the OP of this thread and the other one are on, took 217's message as "We're totally broken, you should definitely not pick us". 1538, at least, took the message as "We're broken right now, and you probably shouldn't pick us". Why was that? Who knows - different interpretations of the same statement, different people from 217 spreading it, the pits being really loud, etc., etc. As much as part of me would like to think it's intentional, there are enough reasonable explanations by reasonable people around here that I don't think it is.
Lessons learned - before you cross a good team off your list, or add a potentially broken one to it, learn as much about their situation as possible. Don't go off one person's word, no matter who it is.
