What's with the beef?

[@CyrusofChaos]

@@dontflyspirit6535 I'm surprised this question didn't come up earlier. Also i don't know 🤷🏼‍♂️ i can tell you why they were upset in this video though: Adam said to Curtis at the end "that was cheap" referring to the touches scored at the end of the previous period. Curtis said something like "don't call me a cheat", then when that was clarified he said "there's nothing cheap about what i did". Whether you agree is up to you. I think it's impossible not to be a bit heated after an intense bout like that

@@CyrusofChaos what's the "cheap" touch under question?

@@dontflyspirit6535 12:58 Curtis fleched at Adam when there was 3 seconds left. Typically near the end of the period, both fencers will stall out the last few seconds to wait for the break and not engage out of courtesy. Adam probably thought curtis wanted to draw the time out but curtis did an aggressive fleche at him instead.

@@RxPow I can see what you're saying, but he took 2 seconds to slowly enter distance again, rather than opening and immediately fleching out of nowhere
