EPTIt's a bad situation for all parts, and it's all caused by MLG admins. No need to shit on any of the players imo.

Would be not consistent at all with the previous qualifiers, mind you, where Hyun knocked out several people after being disqualified and they essentially told those players "deal with it". | ||

Unless Miya got an email with the correct play times, then should have proceeded with walkover. | ||

It was poorly run by MLG. I'm just saying if I was a competitor I would sleep better at night knowing I earned my spot the right way and not through a technicality. It's not about what's right or wrong in this case rule wise, but sportsmanship and integrity of earning things the right way. This was a case of both players trying to dodge miya on a technicality so they would have a better chance of getting into code a. | ||

Shafting two people that had nothing to do with it to fix a situation you CAUSED by having incompetent admins is acceptable? There is no right decision here, just less shitty ones. They should focus on hurting the least amount of people. | ||

Perhaps, on the other hand Demuslim not getting a seed was ridiculous, he's probably just frustrated. Waiting around for admin fuckups to be sorted must be incredibly annoying, as you have to be 'on-call' so to speak. | ||
