After 30 weeks of NP9, multiple attendees from around Texas have complained about Maro's behavior as a TO. He is considered rude, condescending, lazy, argumentative, incapable or taking criticism, among other negative things. If you believe Maro is a bad representative of the community as a TO, and would prefer a different TO please sign this petition. We have already talked with a lot of the PlayLive staff including the manager and he encouraged us to make this petition to make a change.

I really never expected this to take off like it has when I first sat down to type this out on my phone. Seeing so many people agree makes me feel like we are finally going to get the change we need at NP9 even if it feels a little surreal to see the momentum building up like this.

I don't dislike Jacob as a person, but after attending many NP9s, I think that having him step down as TO would be really beneficial. He's nether mature enough or responsible enough for the job, has very low ability to take criticism without becoming defensive or shifting blame, and often isn't even the person actively TOing during the tourney anymore. I'm grateful for what he's done in securing the venue, but in the vested interest of the weekly's success, a new TO feels like a necessary next step.
When i went to my first NP9, I asked about the rules and maro rudely told me to check the facebook page. I said sorry, i didnt know and then he walked off laughing and talking to others "how do you not know the rules"
I dont go super often, mainly because of the unpleasant interactions i had with the current TO and the inappropriate responses/behavior ive seen him do towards staff and attendees.
If it's a community based decision, I choose to unfortunately go with the majority.
I dont go anymore because of Maro being the TO. if he isnt TO, i can avoid the interactions, but i cant if he is. he is always condescending and impatient.
Yuh
Rarely see him actually TOing as people have said already. I'm not super good at smash 4 but I dont really want to attend anymore due to his actions. Sucks cause the venue it cool ://

I've gone to several NP9s at this point attending the latest Heatwave and I've always had issues with Maro's TOing. He rarely is actually TOing and constantly disregards players he doesn't know. I'm sorry dude but if you're going to disrespect me time after time refusing to learn one tag and actively ignoring my set because you don't want to deal with loser's bracket you shouldn't TO. I know he's trying and I do appreciate what he's done for the venue and starting up the event but he's never been a good TO in every NP9 I've been at. He just isn't ready yet to TO and needs some more time to learn how to truly host the event and work well with its players rather than just his friends.
