We obviously don't want teams to not finish out a series, but it is also different from if they didn't show up completely. So how come Mill were invited to this? I love IPL and team arena was awesome... but thse forfeited teams need to be punsiehd. I don't even think its too harsh to DQ them from tourney unless they have a VERY good reason. | ||

SlayerS could only play at certain times which were either extremely late for us or extremely early and we also had players attending both MLG Providence and Dreamhack Winter during all of this, including the travelling time for players who went to both events (SjoW & SeleCT for example) it was just very hard to find a fit time. We did what we could to bring out a 5th player but in the end we couldn't pull through. This is of course disappointing both for us and for the fans/viewers but know we really tried our best to get this to work. lol so basically it was so players could sleep. MMA played a (practically) meaningless game vs Stephano for IPL3 qualifiers at 8am korean time, after staying up all night.... | ||

It is very weird that they forfeited without putting out a 'big name'. | ||

But it was a really busy time for me traveling all over the world etc. Me and select were actually in MLG providence when the slayers clanwar was played. We tried to get hold of computers to play from mlg but didnt succeed. Im sorry if I let anyone down, I will attend everything I can in the future. Sorry again! Sorry you guys couldn't get to play  Chobopeon just echoed this on SC report too. SeleCT all kill coming for losers bracket just saying. | ||

You know that is all it takes to turn something negative into a positive. A lot of viewers just want to see that someone at Dignitas cares enough to respond. Even though it should have been a statement from the team I appreciate Sjow responding. | ||

However, we see that Millenium was invited even after the last debacle. I feel like IPL is speaking double talk. they talk the talk, but when it comes down to it they don't back up their words with action. They are trying to start up a new team league, and you do not want to burn bridges like that. Without the teams, this event would not even be possible. Should dignitas or Millenium have forfeited? Of course not, and IPL needs to discuss with the management about this issue. But by being overly punitive to these teams, IPL destroys the working relationships that it has with these teams. IPL wants to grow, but they realize they cannot react, as it is hard to grow a team league when you start banning teams from participation. | ||

Millenium was slotted to participate before they played SlayerS in the normal Team Arena. Hope that's clear. | ||
