is this really enough to exclude a top intermediate player from a tournament
I'm not sure how well your ability to grasp reality is...
But obviously yes, considering he was actually banned
More so, CWT is the most prestegious event in all of Worms Armageddon, a yearly event that takes place every year since 2002. It has the best of the best players...
A lot of people gather to watch this stuff on stream. I've even seen people have their families watching and supporting them... We are trying to promote Worms Armageddon to draw in more players, that's not going to happen if we allow this kind of childish and primitive behaviour, parents won't let their kinds be involved, and people won't want to be part of toxic communities.
I guarantee you billions of people would agree that joking about "Hitler" is not funny.
If you want to joke about that stuff, at least have the respect to other people to keep it in private with your other childish friends.
Edit - Also, yes, taner is a very good player, I am not the only person who wishes he would grow up a bit though. When he was on the Twitch channel as a commentator we saw the best side of him... Well mannered, well spoken, friendly and passionate about the event. That's the good side of him I'd personally like to see more of.
