Yes, GC titles have been issued off no-shows before. In this particular case, it wasn't just the fact that the title match was no-showed. It was the fact that practically Every single battle in the tourney leading up to the title match was no-showed. The decision wasn't entirely in my hands either and you should know this @
ILLoKWENT cause we had a discussion about it in the staff lounge. I've explained all this already to Lock and he was allowed to keep the Exclusive King Award for winning the tourney. Not issuing the title was not some action against Lock because it's not his fault that his opponents no-showed. It was more an action against the tournament in general by saying for a tournament to be worthy of a title, it should have at least a certain percentage of battles that actually take place.
