The match ran long.

They were supposed to play at 22:00 and with set-up time they probably wouldn't have started until like 22:45.

Which seems like a little but it was already past midnight for the Russian players. Considering the format of the tournament with just doing 1-2 matches every now and then not postponing and doing def-loss is pretty weak. But hey, they have to make sure QPAD goes through the group stages ey? Conspiracy theories?

VP was well aware that the match was going to end up going until late at night when they agreed to play. I can understand them not wanting to play, but eventually organizers will stop inviting them to events :\

From what I understand, the schedule was already made and then EG pulled out. VP then agreed to play knowing full well what the times might end up being.

It is 1:30 am in Russia. The match was scheduled for 12pm. It is a bo3. This is EU tournament. Have decent schedules for fuck's sake.

The match was scheduled for 22 CET which is 1am in Russia. VP agreed to it and it was even their own suggestion to play this match then because they had already been fucking up 2-3 times. The reason it can't be rescheduled is because the GD Studio is literally booked up every single day now. This is VP's own fault, entirely.

Edit: And no, no times were made by EG. VP agreed and chose this exact schedule themselves.

Or how about teams play the games they are scheduled for when they agree to play the tourney? VP should not have agreed to play if they were not able to actually.

You can't give a team a defloss when a bo3 is 45 minutes late and is already starting at a late time.

Literally booked every single day, 24 hours a day. Yeah, no, they could reschedule if they tried.

Your comments are so delusional sometimes. It's seriously a nuisance to watch your posts throughout the whole forum here. There's only a certain timeframe that can be played in because we have players in University and players on the westcoast. VP is Russian, so that limits things greatly. There's a very big chance that if it would have been rescheduled, it would have had to be at a similar time or even later for them because the studio is running every evening and have other things than just this tournament.

However, let's put the cards on the table. VP had already fucked up scheduling twice and this would have been the third time we would reschedule for them, if that happened. Also VP pulled out about after game 1 of our game vs QPAD, so they had no idea this would run late. They just didn't wanna play at 1am (or something else they didn't tell us). That being said, they were the ones to suggest this time (22 CET / 1am their time), not being able to make it is entirely their fault and is completely fine.

Delays are normal and in a live setting things won't ever be running completely on time. Deal with it or don't play live online tournaments.

Your comments are equally delusional and heavily bias tons of times, not really relevant. I don't need you to explain to me that people live in different time zones and it's hard to schedule. They made the decision right there and then, when they were supposed to be playing, this means they made no effort to reschedule. So yeah, don't give me this crap that it's hard when there was no effort made.

If VP pulled out earlier then it's a completely different story, but that's not what was conveyed on stream and that's not what you said in the comment I was replying to.

Your comments are what they are because you always assume you know everything, but you very rarely know what's actually been going on. Of course they are not going to say on stream that VP were idiots and disrespectful in the way their organization has been acting towards the tournament, let alone the scheduling mistakes they've made time after time again. No, that's not what you do -- you try to damage control and do what you can so people aren't going to look bad. But when you do that, we have people like you coming in telling us we're dicks and we are not running tournaments/teams properly.
