BRAT_OK won vs TLO , and withdraw from the tounament AFTER he won against TLO , all the games were finished , so TLO should be out so if BRAT_OK withdraw after beating TLO and his next opponent was MorroW, then MorroW should OBVIOUSLY get a freewin, not TLO , i dont have any idea what kind of twisted logic it is to give TLO the freewin , when he LOST ... with all respect to TLO ofc , he is an awesome guy and player but ... srsly cmon , this is pretty bs imo | ||

If someone gives a walkover you don't take in the player that he beat. that doesn't change my opinion, nobody has to play more games because of that and they can stream one BO3 more. In a HomerJ XMas Cup Qualifier they wanted to replace Strelok in the final with the player he won against (but then Strelok showed up in the last minute). | ||

I mean when there is qualifiers and people can't make it - it is common that there are replacements both in e-sports and regular sports (see Eurocup 1992 denmark being eliminated in qualifiers but replace Yugoslavia and win the tournament). You can make the point that a qualifier is different from the main tournament, however its still connected in the end and people who replace other players in qualifiers is common and not seen unfair despite giving them an advantage while doing the same in the main tournament is somewhat perceived as unfair... In the end it is the decision of the admins and if there is no rule about it yet, they should add a clear rule to handle this things consistently in the future. | ||

Typically in any serious tournament be it in sports, games or whatever if someone has to exit the tournament, that means walkover. If you're out you're out. Now ESL can do as they please and I don't particularily mind their decision, but I can defenitely see where morrow's coming from. | ||

This is kinda true, I suppose brat_ok didn't really think about this. Had he said "I can't play, morrow gets a defwin" then everything would've been different I guess? ^^ | ||

They sure cant wait till tomorrow because the winner of bratok vs. morrow needs to play against the new loserbracket player and if that is not possible the whole tournament is halted. | ||

If you lose a BO3 in the loser's bracket you are eliminated from the tournament. That's it, period. There is no rule saying that if the player you played against leaves you get a second chance. | ||

If BratOk wouldn't have said that he wants to give his spot to TLO then it would be unfair i think and then Morrow should have gotten defwin. They sure cant wait till tomorrow because the winner of bratok vs. morrow needs to play against the new loserbracket player and if that is not possible the whole tournament is halted. Because it's not up to Bratok to decide who gets to play in the tournament. If you could withdraw and just give your spot to someone players could let their teammates play in finals if they had a better chance at winning and such | ||
