He actually was entitled to the spot, the invite was for the 5 players, his invitation cannot be revoked. The substitute rule was put into place recently to rectify the situation, but at the time the only fair thing to do was to let Era play since fnatic qualified based on their results with Era not xcalibur.


the thing is, fnatic hat a legitimate reason to not play with era. was just shitty ruling by valve to stick to their rules without understanding what they are for.



rules are the rules though, at the time if valve made an exception then you'd have all sorts of teams trying to look to stealth kick players and pick up last minute additions or poaching players from other teams


they already made an exception for fear.


on topic: well they finally got a dc video together!

Fear wasn't trying to play though was he? IIRC fear had basically accepted he couldn't play. Era on the hand wanted to play with his team. If fear actually wanted to play for eg Valve would have forced eg to let him play as well.


no but there was no rule how to handle replacements. for all we know they could have not invited eg because mason was not on the invite list.
in the end rules are there for a reason though and dont stand on its own. the roster stability rule is to protect the players (all of them) and with valves terrible ruling on this they killed chances of the team (because no way they would perform after that) and destroyed eras career (because no way any decent team would take him after this). valves ruling did the opposite of what it was supposed to do, it did not protect anyone but harmed everyone involved. happens when you do rules without reason.




that is actually incredibly false.


eg had played enough tournaments with mason to still qualify with him as their 5th.

xcalibur and fnatic had not played enough, therefore that's why the decision was made


i didnt know there was a threshold of tournaments you need to play. lmao
but you didnt even get my point, my point is that valve destroyed the career of the very player their rule should have protected. was stupid, valve learned by introducing substitutes for the next ti. sometimes they just need someone with half a brain to go over their selfrightous rulings.


There actually is, you have to play a certain amount of tournaments and win and have a track record of being a stable team.


With the way the rules were setup they had no choice but to enforce them as is, because if you started making exceptions then you have people who were going to start having extremely wealthy organizations like EHOME/iG/LGD/EG/etc. trying to poach the best players last minute.


nope, you just made this shit up. there was no threshhold, just stop making shit up please.

they could have easily said that fnatic had a good case to not play with era because era was sick for months and months. it wasnt a stealth kick, fnatic played with the player they played most of the tournaments before ti and bootcamped with excalibur. in fact era didnt play any tournament for a long time there because he couldnt leave his home due to his condition.
valve could have just ruled that the 4 other players case is stronger than eras and it could not be abused at all. would just have protected era like they should have done, but they didnt and throw him under the bus. good guys valve.


Exactly. Eg played enough tournaments with mason. But Fnatic played enough tournaments without era. And it wasn't even fnatic's fault that era couldn't join.

There actually is a threshold amount of tournaments you have to play (it is variable), you have to show a track record of stability. The number of tournaments you play is accounted for. A team that was just created 2 months pre-TI and shows decent results is not going to get a direct invite, especially with only 6 invites now.

Good job at showing your ignorance of the rules.


No they didn't, xcalibur was standing in after invites were sent. It was too late at that point. Both of you are wrong, stfu and watch the tournament.
