Let me know then, about the statistics, how am I supposed to count this ? We can't call this an all-kill, right ? Should I just count the last two games ? It seems the most logical I guess.
I would´nt call this an all-kill. Technically it could have been one, if the def-wins were specified iG members, but with only def-loss maps in there, it does´nt really make sence to do so.
0-3 for not being there 10 min later than the rule says is´nt that bad, if you play certain chess tourneys, being 1 min late can be enough to lose the game, even if your stuff is already there and you´re just gone for 1 min to get a cofee.
I have never seen a team league with rules this foolish. There are always things to do. Situations are always different in ONLINE events, and so leniency is vital. The point is to not be retarded either way. Last season they were retardedly lenient, this season the are retardedly strict.
It's not like this is an offline event, and it's not even too restricted in regards to airtime, so the fact that 15 ignorant minutes resulting in 0-3 in a clan war is mind blowing. There have been technical issues that have delayed broadcasts for longer than 15 minutes, and the league pretty much destroyed their own broadcast by throwing the match away anyways.
Either postpone the clan war or allow them to arrive 15 minutes late (maybe with a single FF or something). Those are the only options that make sense. A lot of leagues will do something like 15 minutes = 1 FF, 30 minutes = FF match. This allows for strictness, without butchering yourselves as a league. If teams don't show up, they FF the match (obvious), but if they do show up LATE, the get a slap on the wrist, and the league gets to then broadcast a successful and meaningful show.

They had to do something after last season though. Multiple times teams (looking at you ROOT) showed up up until an hour late. It sucks for Invictus, but I think its sufficient and every team agreed to it.
Sorry to hear that about Edisons grandfather, I hope it turns out well.
5 minutes before the match starts the team needs to call their first player (e.g. 15:55). If we dont have any player until then, the enemy team will get the first def-win. Today we had no reaction of iG until 16:07 , which results into a 3:0 for Axiom.

Didn't know SC2 was more important than a dying grandfather. Thanks for letting us know what your priorities are.

quite a dumb comment, thanks for sharing it
I don't see how it's dumb. Are you going to continue to work at your desk when you know your grandfather is dying/dead at this moment? I made that mistake 5 years ago. Regret that decision 100%.

well, its not the team grandfather who was at the hospital, but the coach's sure it's sad for the coach, but well, players could still know about their match even if the coach couldn't join them in time and rules are rules. if you start making exception, it becomes harder to draw the line where the excuse is not good enough to not receive a forfeit

Like I said, going from 1 extreme (either having no rules about it at all, or not enforcing any rules) to another (disqualifying teams for being 12 minutes late to an online clan war) is not the correct way to handle the situation. "They had to do SOMETHING" doesn't mean go from being senseless to being senseless.

Cool story bro, make better rules so you can enforce policies and not fuck over teams and fans for nearly no reason whatsoever.

Agreed, no need for such harshness with an online event especially. Games are casted from replays for a reason.

This this and this. Okay, I understand why the coach was preoccupied. He has quite a good reason and nobody is suggesting that he should've stayed with the team. But why the hell did none of the players on the team know of the upcoming match??

Cool story bro, make better rules so you can enforce policies and not fuck over teams and fans for nearly no reason whatsoever.
Am I the only one who thinks that the rules are not overly strict considering the amount of people who are waiting for them? There is the complete opposing team, and just TakeTV has several people as caster and in production. On top of that the caster in all the other languages...
I can understand that people are upset because everything in sc2 has this casual, laid-back atmosphere. But Take cannot pay his production crew just to idle around because a team does not show up in time. So people need to realize that the time mentioned isn't a time where friends meet to hang around, but it is a strict deadline.
I was the admin yesterday. Just to be clear: We had no informations about what is going on with edison. So for me it was like he forgot about the match or sth. similiar. I am really sorry for edison and for his grandfather but first of all this is a rule and if we dont have any clue where the team is we have to react. The casters, viewers and of course the enemy team are waiting.
I really hope something like this won't happen again - no one of the involved people and teams want such a thing like getting def-wins/loss.

Thanks for the statement. I think we all understand that what happened was for the most part necessary; it's just the circumstances that are frustrating. Any time someone in the family has health problems it really is one of the most unfortunate things that can happen.
