Are you serious? Idra, Dimaga and Sen are better than those 3. Morrow is close though.

First of all thanks to everyone for their concern about what happened last night.

My sincerest apologies to FuRy for how the situation was handled in the beginning.

Before explaining what happened, first some key points for background information:

It is not forbidden to play in other cups at the same time as Go4SC2 BUT if 15 minutes after the scheduled match time you are not available to play, you can be given the ultimatum to "play now or forfeit".

Plenty of players have no problem playing in multiple cups at the same time, and we do not want to deny other players the opportunity (or hurt the community) by disallowing it. We try to make reasonable allowances, but if necessary players will be given the ultimatum.

Moving on, DeathAngel should have played the final against FuRy immediately after winning his semi final match against Harstem. VampireLady, who was a cup admin in training already for a few weeks, had taken responsibility for the match (after adminning the semi final) as is normal for any of our cup admins to do.

Unfortunately, DeathAngel instead went to play a ZOTAC match instead. VampireLady turned to the admin chat for advice but wasn't given clear direction from the other admins available at the time. She should have been told to give DeathAngel the ultimatum immediately.

While she kept in contact with DeathAngel, she tried to disarm FuRy's aggressive waiting with humour - as is her style - but FuRy took it the wrong way, which made him aggressive and then offensive leading her to kick him from the IRC channel.

A few minutes later one of the other admins got the attention of a senior admin to resolve and clam the situation, getting the final played.

VampireLady's handling of the situation was down largely to her inexperience, and the failure of the other admins at the time to take responsibility for making the hard decision to give DeathAngel the ultimatum. It's a lot harder than it sounds to tell a player "play now or forfeit"

As a result of everything that happened last night:

- VampireLady has left the admin team. We thank her for her efforts and wish her luck with her casting

- All admins are being reminded of how to handle situations like last night, simply that in general, 15 minutes after the scheduled match time a player should be given the ultimatum to play or forfeit

- In case of doubt or trouble, they will be reminded that they should get the attention of a senior admin sooner rather than later

IdrA is not better than Nerchio in ZvZ or ZvT. Dimaga is a bit inconsistent lately.
I think top 3 is Sen, Nerchio and then Idra. Morrow as 4th.
