The moment Qi Mistress was declared the winner, the WBT in-game and online forums servers went into meltdown.
[Official WBT Thread #53920]
[SilverDragon 97]: "HE FORFEITED??? Bro, he FORFEITED in the GRAND FINAL? This is some reality TV bs."
[DarkPulse Major]: "Time Traveler's a fraud. He must have bet on his opponent and forfeited, raking in all the money."
[NeoNeko Katana]: "Bro really ghosted a world final. What was all that stupid dialogue in the teaser? Get ready to face me? Where in the hell are you when the challenger came to take your throne, huh?"
[IceHeart Jade]: "I have put 5000 gold coins in the betting. All were lost because of that bas*ard."
[QuantumSoul]: "He one-shot Crimson Sun in 2 seconds. WBT is too easy for him. There's no way he would be afraid. So, either there is a financial fraud involved, or there were some unavoidable circumstances. The matter will only be cleared up when he speaks."
