Perhaps the worst part is knowing that even as you are losing, you are being toyed around with and can do nothing to stop it. Liquid put up some resistance against the B-team, as did Tyloo (or more like just Uhen), but Millenium, Acer, aTn were all helplessly played. It's a very humiliating experience. Should they have forfeit? Hell no, you fight until the end. | ||

Anyway, I am very disappointed, I set some time aside to watch this and I thought the teams and players would put their best effort in. There needs to be a clearer penalty imposed, it robs the fans from around the world to see some games. Forfeiting without good reason, esp. without bothering to put you have strong players in the line up, shows that the team weren't treating this seriously and were being disrespectful. It's to put it bluntly, a mockery and Dignitas needs to apologize to the everyone in the community. --- Edit (7/12): Okay, they apologized and explained, so I am satisfied now. Apology accepted. In future, can the teams do their best to compete in these events? It is a good opportunity to gain exposure, and see some people you don't normally play. If the teams don't have enough players, they should notify the organizers and other teams to see if they can get special permission to use another player - for example the the 'SlayerS vs Alternate' team arena, ESC.Goody was granted special permission to play. I'm sure there are many other pro-gamers itching to have a chance to get the opportunity to play in this series. | ||

Liquid did decent as well, and actually had the lead at one point, but alas, the Slayers B-team was too strong for TL. | ||

We've already gone over the team selection issues. Is it disappointing that Dignitas didn't bring out Select, Sjow, or a 5th player? Yes. Is it worth tons of drama and bashing on Dignitas? No. | ||

Maybe, but there are no major tournaments that they are going to this month that has a bigger prize pool than this, and they seriously cannot take an hour from their week to play a game? Know why Slayers uses so many B-teamers? First to hide the strategies that the A-team plans to use in the GSL and other major tournaments, but also to give them experience competing and practice. Playing in this likely would have helped Select and Sjow with their practice, and give them a chance to test their skills. | ||

No. It may not be worth tons of drama but it is definitely worth bashing Dignitas. They didn't show respect for your league or the fans watching, that should mean something to you. | ||

I meant "bashing" more as serious attacks on Dignitas, who have competed faithfully in IPL 1, 2, 3 and other tournaments we've run. Them not being ready with a 5th player sucks, no doubt, and they should have been ready to go but it doesn't mean that they are a terrible team who was out to disrespect us, you, and the audience in general. This is literally the first incident we've had with them, and jumping on them for forfeiting one game seems a little premature. Not saying the audience shouldn't be disappointed though, as we certainly were. | ||

These guys are supposed to be professionals and half the roster can't show up to represent their team and sponsors in a team tournament of this size. I guess a Western Proleague is not an attainable goal if the standard these teams have for themselves is so low. | ||

it is disrespectful but there is a reason why there is a surrender button.. if you ever think you cant win you click it. this is the same thing as forfeiting a tournament | ||
