LOL at making him go back to round 2. That has to be the most retarded thing i've ever heard of. That would just mess up the whole tournament..

Even in the case that nightend's bnet was bugged... the other player was already past the 3rd round and ready to play the 4th. Sure.. it is a terrible circumstance, but you can't bring someone back a complete round..

Still a lot to be learned in running tournaments fairly I think.


it wasnt nightends sc2 that had issues. please read carefully. Both players had the same problem


Fair enough if this is indeed the case. But one person took initiative to resolve it by contacting admins, which is said to be the rules in this tournament. The other person didn't.

I kinda agree with jinro to automatically seed the player for the next tourney so far up.

To CraftCup Admin::

Since Nightend got his way in that tournament, i would like to see Moutas to get some kind of preferential treatment in the next tourney (for a lack of better words really). Maybe get him a bye into the 2nd round, or whatever. Nightend kinda *stole* Moutas place, and didnt have to play Round 3.

Also, Nightend had nothing to lose saying that he wants to play for 2nd place match. Ofcourse he would agree to it. Moutas had lots of stuff to lose, he was in the 4th round only to get it stolen away.

Also, you say that "the decision would be best solved on the battlefield", yet you give Nightend (who, again, had nothing to lose) the free win. This doesnt make sense at all!

In short:
- a bug happened that affected 2 players
- 1 player got affected severly and couldnt respond to PM's/game invites
- 1 player kept on playing and proceeded with the tourney

Why let the guy thats stuck to the rules, and helped the tourney go further, why let him get DQ'ed and the guy that had issues with his PC/bnet/dog on fire take his spot? Not only that, but you literally just prove that your way of "checking if people are online" doesnt really work.

Also, what were the cheating allegations? He didnt do anything wrong...

The decision really baffles me.


Yes, Erucious is right. They need to makeup to Moutas and seeding Moutas is one way of resolving this issue. The Craftcup admins need to think this through, acknowledge they handled the situation poorly, and makeup to Moutas for their poor administration.

you should of just played round 2. How difficult would that be? And why wouldn't you play round 2 - were you afraid of losing?

Those 100s of players would have to enter the tournament knowing a player is seeded because of an administrative mistake from the last tournament. If I were one of the 100s of players, I would have no issue if other players were seeded for a good reason. As long as the players for the next tournament know ahead of time what the tournament conditions are, it's quite fair.

Many tournaments in sports have seeding one way or another. Seeding is something you deal with at tournaments and if you are a good player, the seeding becomes a non-factor as you will progress regardless.

Thing is nightend got 2 FREE WINS, he played r1 and then r4, he didn't have to play moutas or the person moutas defeated in r3. Also Moutas followed the rules and nightend didn't, and who has confirmed that nightend was on during the 20 minutes in question. Only that he was obviously on after or during moutas was playing r3. If nightend would have followed the rules none of this would have happend so you tell moutas, who got the win from an admin and then won r3, that he has to play nightend for his spot in r4? How do you sleep at night lmao! Did I miss something here or does this sound accurate?

this was all a bogus command and conquer tournament before sc2, run terribly and was always a joke. When you are considered a joke in a community that itself, is considered a joke, you have a bad tournament. They definately aren't worth the hassel.

you guys really think somebody should get a freewin because he clikced the "i want a freewin"-button faster than the other one?

They werent wrong. They were correct. Nightend was unreachable through 2 accounts. If nightend would have followed the rules and contacted an admin, this wouldnt have happened. IE: his fault, his loss.

And yes.. You literally gave nightend 2 FW's because of this..which even baffles me more

Okay in the last ~5 posts i did i was jsut repeating myself.
My conclusion is this:
Some people here have extremely different opinions than i do. I do my best to respects that. And i even respect if you dont care about CraftCups anymore.
But please be so kind to also respect my opionion. I am not a stupid idiot who just runs around to annoy people and has fun with it.

Btw did somebody read about the beer summit? Imho the best way to resolve conflics

Well, I guess... I hosted a beta-key contest tournament last summer, and due to an undiscovered map bug in the finals of one of them (hosted 4 tournaments total), I decided to seed the person affected into the next tournaments finals... However, since the finals were FFA, all this meant was that it was a 4 player FFA instead of a 3 player FFA...

Seeding someone into this type of 1v1 tournament feels very awkward.

Erucious go read the big post Maista made 10 more times before asking 10 more questions ... as he said you only make him repeat what he said there, and he was mannered enough to do it several times.

And if the admins had realized he made a mistake before DeA played the next match, you could have corrected it then. But once he played the next match it's too late. You can't ask a player to put himself in a bad situation to cover a mistake made by an admin.
