So basically he just gave back that little bit of money I'm really hoping he actually won for that.

Unacceptable. I saw that Jebailey is hard banning anyone from his events that throws shit going forward, but that should be the standard for all fgc events. You can pop off, but have some awareness, bruh.

it's stupid to say they broke a $3k piece of equipment as a grabby headline, yeah.

if someone threw a nail in the road and i rode over it with my $3.5k bicycle, i'd be mad, but i wouldn't replace the entire bicycle.

i'd just get a new tire and bottle of sealant for like $70

Bruh. That stuff is expensive. Even if the whole thing isn't busted and they just have to replace a few of the light bulbs themselves (and they showed the cover fracture too) it's going to be at least close to 1k to replace.

look i fuckin get that shit is expensive, everything is these days.

but it's a dumb headline and a dumb story and the lighting fixture can likely be repaired for less than face value.

also the place was probably insured lol

If I threw a chair at your car and damaged it, would you expect me to pay for it, or would you file an insurance claim?

yeh this is pretty much it.

a big event like that is likely insured up and out the ass, for literally anything. i only say likely cuz it took place in florida so frankly who knows.

that damage is covered, that light is not $3k to fix, and this is a really dumb thing to be weird about that idk why you're upset with me for pointing out?

You guys know they're not going to shake his hand and show him the msrp receipt for the light fixture, right? Dude is looking at way more than that in fees and hassle, plus being banned from low rank competitions is terrible if you're trying to make it up the ladder.

What if they disqualify him post-match because of his bad behavior and declare his opponent the winner by default, and so not only does he not win any money, he still has to pay for the light fixture he broke?

While I echo the surprise that the winner was the one who threw something and caused destruction of property, I still remember the Eagles winning the superbowl and their fans destroying their city in jubilation.

As someone who regularly works with entertainment lighting fixtures, I would say that based on what I see in the video, that fixture is not worth trying to repair.
