Backlund had the chance to play for his country in a best-on-best tournament. This was a great accomplishment for him and I'm certainly not going to insult him by stating that it was a "meaningless"

Lol seriously... I'm 'insulting' Backlund now?
Hopefully there's enough fainting couches to go around for all these insulted players. If calling this tournament a meaningless cash grab is actually an insult to the players, well I guess the players are going to be pretty offended. Untold scores of people have been saying that since the tournament was first announced. My contribution probably amounts to 0.0000001% of what's out there lol. Hopefully Backlund's OK. If you're reading this Mikael, I'm very, very sorry. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings
