Yesterday I had an individual match with a player for a championship and we could not find times to schedule the match which worked for both of us. The first thing he did after that was suggesting/forcing me to forfeit or play at the times he suggested. I was never free in the times he suggested so had no choice but to suggest my own. Just because he was not available at the time which I suggested, can he ask me the forfeit? Another thing, when I finally played the match with him, he played the match duely being a titled and much stronger player than me. The first thing he did after the game is blocking me and posted the results of the match in a forum. I did report him but to no avail. Don't you think such behaviour is unacceptable? If not, then please guide what should I have done..
Typically you want to offer 3 different match times to your opponent for possible scheduling of a match. Communication and understanding is key to a smooth championship.
For championships, simply offering all or as many times available as possible is best. Different time zones always suck, but someone eventually has to give in even if it's just saying that they may be a little late. Also making sure not to show your frustration in the messages while discussing match times works best.
Also, such a player blocked me too after performing badly in a long tournament. Afterwards, when I had won the tournament, I told him ggs and said it was fun playing with them and asked what was wrong. Noticing that they played one of my friends in their last game I had thought that my friend stalled against them. To my surprise he accuse my friend of cheating and said he was glad to know what I truly think of him and proceeded to block me as well. I don't know what's going on in this person's personal life, but I don't think it has anything to do with you personally and more to do with that he's upset with something about himself.
Also, I don't think anything should be done about this behavior, just it's quite annoying when player's don't express themselves properly to another player who is trying their best to fulfill their end of the relationship/circumstance.

Maybe, but you can't always be free..
@CaptainJackRogers I'm curious about which championship you are playing in?
I can't tell that here as then you could find out who my opponent was and that would be public shaming..
@CaptainJackRogers Get a judge.
The judge will give the timings so there will be no disputes.

See, I am not looking for sarcastic comments, you can say something like this in off topic or any other forum, but don't post irrelevant things here.

Why don't you use the actual account on which you played the match?
Stop pretending you are the victim, the organizer and almost everyone sided with your opponent. You were given one week to play the match, considering this was quarterfinals you should have been used to the format already. Maybe you weren't?
Let's see, the match before the quarterfinals you were late (played the match one day too late) and almost both you and the opponent got forfeited, the match before that you were ALSO late and you almost got forfeited then as well, but didn't due to the organizer's patience. In retrospect maybe you should have been.
What you proposed to your quarterfinals opponent was something similar to "I can't play the match in the times you suggested, I also don't have a time to suggest, so let's just play whenever I feel like it, I will message you a minute before it". This is obviously unfair to the opponent since they have no time to prepare and always have to be on the lookout for the match, meanwhile you can play whenever you feel the best.
You complained that you don't have time to play, yet since the creation of this very account you are writing on (6th Jan 2021) you have already played 1 day and 15 hours on it, not to mention all of your alt accounts (of which you have a LOT). Even if it was the case that you didn't have time, why did you enter the tournament?
In summary, I feel no respect for this kind of behaviour and I am happy you lost the match.
