The comparison between Ronaldo and Viper is way off. Ronaldo gets a salary. Viper doesn't. No one has the right to demand how Viper plays.
The debate is if it was disrespect to the tournament or not. Yes it was. If he valued winning it more, he would have played much safer like he mostly does.
This disrespect can be extended to normal rated games as well. Is it disrespect to try troll strategies against an opponent when he is trying to play serious.Yes. Does everyone play 100% serious all the time? No.
You also can't please everyone all the time. If the tournament organizers don't want people playing a certain way, they need to have appropriate rules in place or not allow such players to participate. But if they're okay with it, there is not much to talk about.
