Agree that blizzard is also fault in this.
However since this event hold by blizzard, the money prize also presented by blizzard, they should act at the moment they see what is happening. Like remake the last match for example, and issue a warning.
This “bug” also not new, according to us forums, it happened the previous one before. So to claim the fact “i didnt know about that” crumbles. He knew exactly what was happening.
Gingi the cringy?
Just for old time sake 
They should have disqualify him tbf
Whats the grand prize?
Just a few more “Plunder”?
I just farmed the Plunder via PvE stuff in a few hours to buy what I find cool (there is nothing cool in the “Plunderstore”).
Whats the big reward or achievement for being 1st?
Just another example of how stupid it is to try and turn everything into some kind of eSport…
I already thought it was ‘meh’.
But this just took it down to making it feel icky. It’s promoting cheating or exploiting because they’re rewarding them for it! Completely unacceptable in my opinion.
25,000 dollars actually. I haven’t looked into it, because I don’t like gaming tournaments period, but this prize money… I hope it goes to a good cause of the winner’s choosing? Because if not: They’re giving these content creators money while basically giving the middle-finger to every single ‘regular player’. Or am I the only one who feels that way?
Yes thats also an option.
I just don’t understand, why?
This milkshake will not brings all the boys to their yard 
And while eSports is not dying, I have to admit that it slowly fades
It got ballooned by massive corporate money, then popped
They are not making money. Companies have learned that sponsoring them is just not worth the cost.
The amount of exposure eSports organizations can provide is almost solely dependent on the streaming of individual members… And large successful streamers have little to no need for eSports organization as they can make more on their own.
I really enjoyed watching the plunderstorm tournament.
I followed Xaryus and Pikos POV and really enjoyed their PVP combo play.
The actual winner getting 50k for standing on a roof? I think it’s genius and a great spin.
Great entertainment.
Should have just been highest points win imo. The idea that they played so many rounds but the best team didn’t win when it wasn’t really a knockout format is dumb.
Also they clearly cheated but ironic that Cdew’s team by the rules would have won if they had been disqualified and Trill/Max are the ones who even told Gingi about the spot in the first place. Supposedly Ziqo also knew about it.
Anyway the tourny was just for fun and the ending was easily the worst part imo
Having some exploiter win is just pathetic and sets a bad example.
Even if it was just for fun and all that it’s still not okay.
joke event like mdi and arena pvp
but blizz wont do anything, so its fine
remember “exploit early exploit often”, because blizz dont do a damn
hope everyone did the siren isle ring exploit to max out their ring week 2 or the follower dungeon exploit to get all raid buffs in mplus, because exploiting is now ok
The last game should have been replayed, the strongest team should have won, not the rat.
I’m sure lots of people would like to earn 25k ‘just for fun’ 
The people in charge of these decisions do not understand gamers or their own products. They are solely driven by metrics and look at what the market is doing.
High traffic on streams related to MOBA games?
WE NEED A MOBA
High traffic on streams related to battle royal games?
WE NEED A BATTLE ROYAL.
These people only understand metrics they set up themself for trying to increase revenue.
It doesn’t matter whether their player base doesn’t like this or they have no experience running any type of game of said style; metrics say this is popular and potentially can make us millions!
Middle management is the most useless position in any company.
I’m not even surprised. Hilarious they try to spin the usual WF players exploits as clever play - as if what he did was something to aspire to.
Jesus, if anybody has this loser as a rolemodel set the bar higher.
You’d be surprised what the current youth sets as their rolemodels…
I hope Blizzard give money to real winner! Not Gingi team! 
wasnt planning on watching the tournament, but that ending was hilarious!
bit in poor taste since its an official tournament, but still funny.
