If a fuck up like this happens the only logical thing to do is to roll back! It would not of unfairly hurt anyone, but forfeiting Miya (Who was screwed by an admin's fuckup) is hurting someone! It's not logical at all to hurt 2 players instead of 1 just because you're stupid and can't hire competent admins.
But you are not hurting the other players!
You would just end up in a place that was the same as if the admins did not fuck up.

If they put Miya back in winners, it hurts Moosegills because he was awarded a walkover win more than fairly and is having it voided. It also hurts Demuslim because he just wasted a bunch of time waiting and will have to waste more time for the match that was already resolved to happen. If you keep Miya in the loser's bracket where he belongs, you only kinda hurt Miya because it's not his fault entirely he's there, but that's still where he belongs in the tournament. Edit: You can't avoid hurting someone in a situation like this, so instead you aim to hurt as few people as possible. Putting Miya back in winner's definitely hurts more people than leaving him in losers.
But Moosegills does not have any right to the walkover!
He did not beat Miya! An admin lied to Miya and they unfairly gave him a loss!
Miya did not make any mistake and he did not lose to Moosegills, thus it is objectively wrong to say he belongs in the LB!

Strange how Ian's wins are always given as 1-0s by MLG. They're just DQing all of his opponents so a chinese player makes it!  The twist: It turns out that he misspelled his account name when he registered and his nickname isn't Ian but LAN. MLG DQs him because there is no place for LAN in a Blizzard tournament. When MLG switches their ad screen to the skyline, people demonstrate on the streets shouting "We want Ian" Stop, you are killing me.

Don't forget, Snute has also won 3 LANs. So in that sense, I'd say he had already replaced Zenio ;p

That I dont like the recent decisions to handle all disputes with MLG in public, even when it isn't their player. MLG dropped the ball, deal with it by email like professions, not on twitter.

Well, it depends, if you're staff of TL the site, not TL the team then why would you act as if you're a part of the team?

Moose had to wait 2 hours for Miya, Demuslim had to wait an hour (and would have to wait again for Miya to play his series) and both would be severely hurting their chances at qualifying by not only playing tired, but also by just allowing a new player into the bracket. It's not fair that Miya didn't get to play, sure, but it's also not fair to hurt Demu and Moose.
This is not Miya's or Demu's or Moose's fault, it's MLG's and MLG is the only one that should get hurt by it.

I've just tuned in and this is probably going to sound weird, but does the guy with Axslav remind anyone else of the hollywood actor? I can't remember what films he was in or what his name is, but he looks very similar to this guy I'm picturing in my head.
