Quinn "Quinn" Callahan, the position two player for the Gaimin Gladiators, has previously been made fun of by the community for his outbursts in public and his derogatory remarks made to people during pub games. However, he has recently appeared to have changed his ways after making a commitment to do so.
In a recent Elite League match versus Tundra, Quinn demonstrated excellent sportsmanship by asking the administrator to prolong the break and wait longer for Edgar "9Class" Naltakian.
Quinn asked the administrator whether they could wait for the player to rejoin 9Class after they had been disconnected for longer than the ten minutes that each team is allowed to take a break.
Quinn demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, and the Dota 2 community took notice of his gesture and raised awareness of the issue.
Quinn asked the administrator if it was acceptable to prolong Tundra's pause timer during the second game between Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports after 9Class from Tundra experienced an unexpected router problem and disconnected from the game. Both teams then had to wait for more than ten minutes.
The administrator, however, quickly clarified that such a transfer was not feasible and that Gaimin Gladiators might instead utilize their stop time to wait for 9Class.
Quinn begged for more time towards Tundra's pause timer, pointing out that given the high stakes of the game, it would be sad if one of Gaimin's players had to disconnect and neither team had any remaining pauses.
The game administrators, adamant about abiding by the tournament's rules, said that the 20-minute maximum pause duration could not be extended. The administrator eventually said that Gaimin's pause timer had started and that they needed to unpause if they did not want to utilize it after Tundra's pause ended.
Forced to make the decision, Gaimin Gladiators unpaused the game and engaged Tundra Esports in a 4vs5 match. Taking advantage of Tundra's disadvantage, Gamin began to forcefully push Tundra back into its base.
Five minutes into the siege of Tundra's high ground, GG finally prevailed over Tundra Esports, and the series concluded in a draw as Tundra raised the white flag in the twenty-fourth minute.
