I can't find any substitute rules (for legal or illegal substitutes) on the MLG website in either the Qualifier Rules or Providence rules; anyone know?

CLG clearly cheated and was disqualified for a good reason.

Edit: The sub in question was not part of the registered roster and played a match for another team in said tournament. If that isn't an advantage I don't know what is.

Yes it is. I don't see how you can get it to anything else. "We screwed this team over, so now we are going to screw you over to try to fix our relations with that team". I don't know if you've played sports on a competative level, but I have and if suddenly one team got a free ride (regardless of which of CDE and Dignitas you feel is getting the free ride) it would be an outrage.

It's not really screwing anyone over unless you are a tried and true patriot. Also, as cited before, WCG has allowed disproportionate numbers of participants from the same country in other events before. The question shouldn't even be "Is this unfair to everyone else?" when the discussion is about what happened to CDE. Riot made the best decision they could to fix an awful blunder by WCG/Marcou. Obviously CDE earned their way though once in what they thought was the official way, and then Dignitas earned theirs in the "rematch". It's not really fair to send one while the other stays in the U.S.

If anyone from another country honestly can look at this situation and see U.S. favoritism, they've lost their perspective. Perhaps it's an "advantage for the U.S." in that we have 2 teams, but honestly, I'm not rooting for my country, I'm rooting for CDE. I'm sure it's that way for a lot of people.

That's the thing. They didn't. I love CDE I feel I need to state this, over and over. according to the rules they didn't earn it, they just played under false pretences. is it horse-shit that it could happen? Yes, is it a horrible, horrible way of running a tourney, yes. Retroactivly changing the rules, is the worst thing you could possibly to do to keep integrity. And that is what they are doing now. People act as if the way CDE won was ever stated in the rules, and it wasn't. It was just the pay people believed would be the rules, but it was never part of the rules.

and saying that Dignitas should have just thrown the game cause they followed the rules is bullshit, learn to play professionally.

It was the rules of every double elim LoL tourney, ever
It was the rules posted on the WCG website
It was the rules of the last WCG qualifier last year
It was the rules played used in WCG Canada played the same week
The players were never told of any changes to the rules

and THAT'S the conclusion you draw? Are you serious?

Playing professionally means playing with integrity. There is nothing professional about losing, wishing your opponents best of luck in the next round, then going back and playing a rematch anyway. No, they did not technically do anything wrong, but it's the same distinction as law and ethics. Just because you can get away with it doesn't make it right.

If someone the organisers tell you that you havn't lost cause that is not the rules they use, you never forfeight ever. Look when they asked Reginald, he wouldn't do it. Nobody on any of the big teams would throw that match. Because if the rules says you are still in, you're still in. Regardless if the rules are horribadly written and doesn't match the actual rules used on site. There is a reason that there is a rule that says you can change any rule you want within a tourney. It's horrible missinformation from the most ammaturish of tournaments I've ever seen.

the lack of balls from the organizers is so astounding it really pisses me off.
Either: CDE gets to go because that was what was set on the site and that was the only information given at the time to the players.
or
Dignitas gets to go becuse those were the rules that was going to be used and it was just a information misstake from their side,but it was always intended to be that way.

You don't send both teams, that's so unprofessional it's insane, refusing to take reponsibility for your own actions at its finest.

Man, first you say it's okay for them to change the rules and let Dignitas play a second set, and then you say it's not okay to change the rules and send two teams.

No I'm saying that you can not run a tournament without set rules. It's the information that is shit. I don't think they are corrupt I think they are stupid. Either someone made a rogue decision and changed the rules on the spot, then Dignitas shouldn't be going to Korea. Or it was ment to be like that, but the information provided was shit, then CdE shouldn't be going.

cheated is the wrong term for what they did, they made an illegal substitute because lapaka already participated in the tournament in AL vs TSM round 1. they could have used ANY fucking random person except lapaka and would still be fine, shitty situation that the other team took 4 hours to play a bo3, but shit happens.

also

lapaka support, advantage, ROFL.

We all know WCG is stupid. But allowing both to go is the least stupid decision left after they forced the second set. The correct decision would have been to not hold the second set since holding the second set was in clear violation of the only stated rules. But the second set was held and as a result sending only CDE and not Dignitas would be a worse decision than sending both.

That's just dumb... While I get the Dignitas/CDE controversy split camps this one should be obvious. Stupid move by CLG, they deserved it.

You can't really blame the other team for taking so long since it's not particularly unreasonable to take 4 hours to play 3 games with picks/bans and stuff.

Also, could they really have used another player who's not in the tournament?

Lets agree to disagree, but lets agree on that WCG is a bunch of tossers. I should apply to be their new coordinator and show them how to run a bloody buisness.

its pretty clear what they did was against the rules and they deserve the DQ, but people labeling them cheaters is really hilarious, almost as hilarious as thinking lapaka's support is good

lol I don't know that I would call support Lapaka an advantage...

Anyway, tournaments in general need to do a better job at dealing with time constraints. It's commonplace for these 1-2 day tournaments to go grossly over the scheduled time, which is really unacceptable.

How can you play without having a back up planned? What if someone tripped and broke their hand, got sick... or passed out.

Oh, it's a perfectly reasonable rule. I just wanted to know if anyone knew what the substitute rules were in full. Closest thing I can find is:

6. The Bracket will conclude when all but 4 Teams have been eliminated. The final 4 Teams in the Bracket will advance to compete in the MLG Providence event. If a Providence Team is, at any time, left with fewer than 3 Players from the Team Roster used in the Online Qualifier, it will lose its spot in the LoL Providence Event.

Which suggests they can use 2 random subs, but isn't really directly on point.

Very disappointed that CLG won't be at MLG. But I can understand why they were disqualified and the disqualification is justified.

I hope Lilac is okay though! Must have put himself through a lot if he passed out. >.<

Playing tourneys is stressing! being up 24 hours then starting a stress test isn't the best thing you can do, he'll very likely be fine.

Sucks for CLG but I hope tournament organizers learn to enforce time rules from now on. 4 hours for 3 games is extremely unreasonable because time between games + picks/bans shouldn't exceed 15-20min total. Part of playing in tournaments is planning and preparing, so teams with better preparation on their strategies and choices will have an advantage if strict time limits are enforced. Hopefully it will also encourage teams to add a coach specifically for this.
