At the last minute something occurred and MegaworM had to pull out. And, this was like 2 years ago me thinks.
MegaworM pulled out because he was disgusted with how Potato was received. On one hand, there were people like Samware who kept spamming about him. Many "SUPPORT POTATO" posts found their way onto the other boards.
On the other hand there were the critics who kept stating their disapproval for Potato over and over, to the point that anyone who followed the competition could clearly remember these concerns and if necessary, could say them out loud, even while being blindfolded, turned upside down and meanwhile being beaten with a whip.
