The one thing that actually gets to me is when people try to create a rivalry between leagues. I don’t think they understand what they are doing. They are not making it more competitive between the leagues. They’re actually discouraging people from wanting to do this. It never operates that way.

Blackout 3! (laughs) Organik (laughs) Jon Rines – People want to know why wasn’t Arcane punished for what happened with the whole ghost writing thing. Organik – Now that it’s blown over and things….
