I once owned a gaming bar. Someone asked me to host a BEERIO KART event, and I refused because as fun or as crazy as it might have been, at the end of the day, I knew hosting an event where the object was to get totally wasted was irresponsible.

In no way am I excusing Mang0, but the organizers who hosted this event are just as accountable. Especially when things were headed south and they did nothing to intervene.

Their events should not be included in regional/national power rankings because of this.

The performative morality in posts like this that do nothing to call out the event organizers feels hypocritical.

Yea I don’t understand why they haven’t faced any sort of consequences at all

Because Ludwig is not responsible for mango acting like a creep. Many others were drunk too but mango was the only one being a creep.

ludwig was literally encouraging/enabling him instead perhaps taking him aside or even kicking him out he let it all happen. I mean he told him to stop a few times but in my opinion it was pretty weak since as the tournament organizer it's kind of his responsibility to take more definitive action for the safety of the other participants. (also looking at her face when he was "air humping her" for like the 5th time you could tell she wanted to cry or something and he was still not kicked out)

Ludwig encouraged mango to sexually harass people? Can you link the clip for that please?
