Dislike it. Honestly it would have no meaning for new users. It is really sad news and big tragedy but what does it have to do with Canadian Cup in online basketball manager game?

Have you ever sat on a park bench or seen a tree planted in someone's honour only you didn't have a clue who the person was? It's a small gesture but the point is the tribute, not to worry that some that come later might be unaware of the circumstance. There will be plenty of people still here who do understand the significance. And sorry but I'm actually confused that somebody could actually dislike honouring the tragic loss of a 21 year old girl.

I am so shocked and saddened, her poor husband and family.

Lisa, Kumiko was a great joy to speak to online during games. Her passion, sense of humour and kindness just made it so easy to like and respect her. She always made it more to look forward to each game during the season to be online and chat with the Canadian community. We both had some epic games against each other and with both of us "trash talking" we had more than a handful of people watch our games with us and join in the conversation. Since her departure the online chat hasn't been the same and I'm sure everyone that joins the chat regularly has noticed this.

Her contribution to the Canadian community was awesome and could only be matched with the greatest of Canadian Forum posters. All of her hard work with the U21 helped so many Canadian managers with there young talent and was a key contributor to helping new users get familiar, enjoy and remain playing Buzzerbeater.

I'll always remember her, miss her, and only hope she's in a better place. RIP Lisa

This may or may not be going overboard, but what do people here think about having the Canadian Tournament renamed to the "Kumiko Cup"? It would be incredibly easy to do if people are in favour of it.


I think this would be a great tribute to a great person. If I had the option of doing this I would do it in a heartbeat and wouldn't think twice about it. This would be a nice way for the Canadian Community to all pay homage to Kumiko. This is so Tragic.

I'm totally with you there Beener. Though I think using the word confused is being very polite.

Absolutely shocking and terrible news. It was subtly mentioned that Kumiko had an illness or health-related issue in a previous thread, but I never gave it a second thought. She certainly never mentioned it in casual conversation or displayed it in her actions or wanted any sympathy. I knew her as a regular girl. She shopped, travelled, played sports, and had a good attitude. She did put mayo (?) on her grilled cheese sandwiches, though, which is pretty twisted to me.

I think it's pretty special that there could be such a divide between her lively online persona and her real world problems. RIP, Kumiko. I wish I knew you better and I wish I had your strength, passion, and perseverance.

I think you got the message wrong. I do not dislike honouring tragic loss of anybody, especially someone whose life was cut short at such young age. I am really sad about what happened and my prayers go to Kumiko's friends and family. I just dont see how that would be a big honour having a tournament in online game named after you. Still, if that is the wish of community I am going to support it. Just not the way I would honour and remember someone (what if some other user (knock on wood it doesnt happen) also passes away, what are you going to do then?). It is a time for mourning but at least I and people close to me do it by reflections and memories and not such gestures.

(sorry for long message, not sure if my english is good enough to convey my thoughts clearly, especially on such delicate matter)

Hah I remember that, the mayo on grilled cheese was my idea while we were discussing grilled cheeses in chat.

I would be for the naming the cup, I agree it's like a tribute to someone who had left an impact on this community.
