If your being paid to be an admin and you mess up (maybe not for the first time) I don't see a problem getting rid of them. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would love to work in esports and can remember to double check all info given to players.

This guy was definitely fired for multiple mistakes, it probably wasn't the first time he fucked up bad. I think this confirms that it was the same guy who fucked up with the WCS NA Chinese situation..

Should provide a place for these players to find information, instead of relying on word of mouth

There are a lot of people who would love to have an opening to get into e-sports right now, I think it's pretty justified to hold even low-end staff to high standards.

Considering MLG's problems with this area in the past as well, there should have been plenty of warning to not fuck up again.

One would have to assume that this isn't the first time the admin made a mistake like this. If it was the first time, a severe slap on the wrists and less responsibilities for a certain period of time would've suited.

Today during the MLG operated WCS America Invite-Only Challenger League Qualifier, a situation arose due to an MLG admin error that warrants clarification. Players involved included Miya, Demuslim, Moosegills, and Sasquatch.

After having a Bye in Winners Round 1, Miya showed up to his Winners Round 2 Match late, resulting in MLG admins making him forfeit the match and instructing him to play a Losers Round 2 Match against Sasquatch. Miya went on to beat Sasquatch.

Shortly after Miya’s victory, MLG was notified that Miya had shown up late to Winners Round 2 due to an MLG admin providing him with an incorrect start time for his match. MLG immediately retracted Miya’s Winners Round 2 forfeit to give him the Winner's Bracket placement he deserved.

Miya’s manager advised Miya to accept his Winners Bracket forfeit feeling that any other outcome would be unfair to Demuslim and Moosegills, the other players involved in the subsequent matches.

After Miya conceded the Winners Round 2 victory to Moosegills, MLG let all Miya/Demuslim/Moosegills/Sasquatch results stand. The current bracket is available here.

Additionally, MLG terminated the admin who originally supplied Miya with the incorrect match information.

We apologize to the players and those impacted by the admin errors.

MLG terminated the admin

terminated

Pretty drastic measures.


It seems reasonable considering the number of issues that MLG has had recently. I am sure the admins were warned to double check their information before providing it to players, because it is common sense. If it happens one time, its a mistake and MLG can just pass it off as human error. But with the rash of issues, the admin staff should have crossed their T's and dotted their I's.

And Miya came so close to qualifying. Really sad to see him pay for having shown good sportsmanship. It sucks the guy lost his job over this but this was a huge screw up to make in this context.

Was the people responsible for previous problems also "terminated" ? That's the big question.

Just hoping that that guy just wasn't fired to get all the blame for Premier League Qualifier.

As expected, MLG didn't fix anything after their first fuck up.

Thank you MLG for such a quick announcement. Seems drastic to terminate him if this is the only reason, but i don't know the details so cannot conclude to much.

Aside from the whole employee termination thing, I noticed nobody pointed out what Miya did was a pretty class act. He gave up a pretty big advantage (the ability to qualify through the winner's bracket) due to someone else's mistake. He could've forced a series against moosegills who was quite beatable, and then all he would've had to defeat to qualify was Demuslim. Even if he had lost to Demuslim, he would've avoided having to face Top in the loser's bracket.
