i like how people call for MLG and sundance's head when they mess up, but show remorse when the person responsible for the mistake and subsequent witchhunt/outcry/bitchfest gets terminated. you can't have it both ways!

I don't blame MLG at all. If that admin had done his job properly no conflict would have arisen. But he didn't. In fact, he gave blatantly wrong information that he should have known. Because of him a manager was forced to argue against her player for the good of the tournament, two players were at one point forfeited out, and a qualifier that was otherwise a rather good day of SC2 was marred because this one guy couldn't get his times right.

Sucks for the admin, but you don't fuck up like that and expect to keep your job. That kind of immunity is reserved for whoever the fuck decided to have 512 man, first-come first-serve qualifiers; not some faceless admin.

It really is amazing.

If they hadn't included that line in this thread I can only imagine the reaction. MLG can't do anything right these days. Glad they got rid of someone who was not doing their job correctly.

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 made the statement much more quickly than the last time, which I really appreciate. And for the poor homie got terminated, it's your fault and you deserved that. But how does MLG choose one to be a qualified admin? MLG made lots of mess due to admins' faults. That's just hilarious.

Gosh, these people... :p


Seriously though, it's good to see MLG taking measures after all the problems they've had lately, instead of just leaving this to public speculation.

Pretty drastic measures.

TL seems to overreact to just about everything and demand people lose their jobs.

yeah or possibly they fired him for not doing his job properly

as if TL or Reddits reaction got an unnamed admin fired lol

That's 2 people now. I didn't mean to imply that MLG fired somebody because of TL, if that's what people interpret from my post. What I meant was that it's interesting how people bitch and demand people lose their jobs when shit happens, but when somebody actually loses their job, it' suddently "whoa, that was a bit too far". I don't support firing people, just to note.


thats pretty much the situation. during the whole admin-error-confusion people demanded that the person gets fired. when it actually happens, it is to harsh.
whether or not the admin gets fired isnt actually anybodys business. for me a consequence like this seems as only done to soothen the angry mob. the community that often wants to be involved into company workflows way to much and way to fast. appologies arent enough, actions must be taken, but not in a reasonable timeframe, no: instantaneously. and when that actually happens, it is obviously wrong.
i wish people would deliberate their opinions and argumentations before communicating them as most stuff i read in forums and social media is just so black and white that it isnt even fun anymore.

Unless the admin had some malicious intent I don't see why they fired him unless of course he was just an average admin and this was just another fuck up. It would be interesting to know why he thought the time he gave Miya was the correct one or where he got the incorrect time. And why are admins going around telling players the time of matches? Shouldn't they just point them to a specific webpage where all that information would be available? Shitty situation all around.
