Good job cherry-picking MMA and Innovation to win last GSTL season then? -_-;
Why is it OUTRAGEOUS if its only 1 player, but as soon as theres 2 or more its ok? i dont really get it.


Socke quit being obtuse. It's against the spirit of the competition and you know it. We got the entire Korean wing of Acer, which happened to be 2 players, who were both living in our house. Not only that but it was entirely within the GSTL rules. This nonsense going on is only "within the rules" because Take.TV admins have taken a very liberal interpretation of what those rules are.



"1.4 Cooperation
A cooperation between two(2) teams is allowed. They will handled exactly like a stand alone team. e.g. Axiom-Acer in GSTL
The name of a cooperation have to make sure that both team names are included."

Since it says teams in the rulebook, not organisations one might argue that this rule intends not to enable teams to partner with other organizations (or groups of) players.
But the admins who created the rules allowed teams to partner with organisations when the lineups were communicated, so it seems to me that with the quoted excerpt they intended to allow 2 organisations, not teams to partner. So its not against the rules id say.
Why are you getting upset about how the Admins are interpreting their rules prior to the start of a tournament?
How can it be against the spirit of the competition to allow 1 player from another team to participate, and fully in the spirit of the competition to include 2?


That should be obvious. Including one player is exactly the same as including one player under the Joker rule, which was abolished after a lot of disagreement from team owners and rightfully so. There is no effective difference.

I am annoyed that the admins chose to interpret the rules in such a way that surprised other teams and caught them off guard during the qualifier and also did not mention these "cooperations" to any of the participating teams who were already qualified from the last season. I am also annoyed that the admins then made excuses up to and including claiming that management agencies were somehow teams, which has never been held to be true (and with good reason).

Anyway, at this point it does not matter. All the teams who looked to take this route were knocked out, so the only disagreement I have remaining at this point is the fact that Empire-Fnatic did not have to requalify when last season they played under Empire-Ence and were effectively a completely different team.

Predictions:

EG from bracket 1:
Teams would have to beat Jaedong twice and then beat JYP/HuK/Demuslim/Suppy. I dont think Root can do it(I dont even know half their current players, is Sage still playing ?) Honestly I can see Root lose to Punchline.

Newrosoft from bracket 2:
I just want to see them in here, Alternate wont be too difficult I feel, Lambo and kaup are good players, but probably not enough and I think Welmu or Nightend can beat MC and First in PvP

Yoe Flash Wolves from bracket 3:
Teams would have to beat Leenock+ San + Has + Ian and San/Leenock again. Not happening, unless Check goes crazy again.
Alien Invasion could do it if IEM qualifier Revenge is playing and not EPS Revenge

mYinsanity from bracket 4:
Obvious choice, Stardust/jjakji/Kane should be enough for the teams in the bracket, dignitas+Sen has a shot, but Sen and Tefel have to be on their game.

Edit: I'm also guessing the early starting time is for the Asian teams and not all clanwars will be played at the same time?

Fucking called it

Don't get cocky now Patience/Golden/Strelok/Revenge could pull the upset. Not likely but possible

Because people are manipulating this rule specifically to get a Joker even when the Joker rule was removed, and the admins accepted (because their rules weren't airtight) despite other teams not using a Joker due to the removal of that rule, which is unfair towards them, since they could also have manipulated this rule similarly.
