Well with Vortix leaving mouz won't even have a large enough roster for the playoffs right?
|

Mouz might be allowed to just let vortix stay as an honorary member for a bit longer for the playoffs.
|
|
Been a while since I was looking forward to a teamleague game. Really hyped for this. Praying Leenock won't disappoint!
|
I've been rooting for Mouz most of the season. I'm rooting for Yoe now.

Now that Axiom has already qualified I'm excited to sit back and see what happens here. Gonna be exciting to watch as a straight out winner takes all match really.
I'm kinda hoping that mouz wins it because, and I mean no disrespect to them, they are a much easier proposition in the play-offs than yoe Flash Wolves.
I can't see mouz beating yoeFW San and Leenock though and yoeFW have good depth as well.
Shame this will be VortiX's last game for mousesports though.

Well StarBuck took four maps from Axiom when he last played them so yeah, he's pretty dangerous.

If mouz will be unable to attend the playoffs, is this match a decider between mYi and yFW?

Is that a significant possibility? I know that they will be short a player, but are they just going to abandon their ATC run? They've had a great season, it'd really be a shame.

I guess they could still go right? they'd just have to forfeit a map each match?

I'd guess that would be the most likely outcome. That being said, I wonder if the tournament admins would make a special case for Mouz in this situation (allow them to take a joker, give them an extra revive). No matter what, it'll probably raise a storm, especially from the 3 other playoff teams who would benefit from a weakened Mouz in the playoffs.
But that's assuming that Mouz wins. If YoeFW wins, then we wouldn't even need to worry about this. That would suck for Mouz though, having missed the playoffs two seasons in a row due to tiebreaks.
|

Yeah, would have been best to extend the contract for one month unless VortiX' next team is already determined and doesn't want VortiX still associated with mouz. Now it's damaging to mouz and the ATC should mouz qualify.
|
Man, this could be the second front running team that vortix torpedoes in ATC by leaving at the wrong time. That's kinda funny, in a really unfortunate way.
|
Yeah that would be terrible if mouz had to sacrifice something like a forfeit map or even the whole tournament after losing Vortix. Hopefully things can be worked out and he can play under mouz for the rest of this.
As for this match I'm rooting for yoeFW!
|
Does this start in 15min or in 1h15min? Liquipedia says 18:00 CEST and yesterday on stream they said 18:00 CEST as well. Acer site says 17:00 CEST.
|
The TakeTV Stream is on with "show starting soon" so it seems like it is 17 CEST.

Khaldor said it was the last match of the regular season of ATC, I guess EG vs coL-Dig will not be played?
also, penalty point against mouz, no player in time edit: or not, seems they were using wrong channel?

Sort of changed my mind about this one. I'm actually rooting for yoeFW. I feel they deserve it more, it would avoid any potential drama about being a player short, and even though yoeFW are a tougher proposition that will only make it more exciting. Plus I have faith in the Axiom players - they are more than capable of beating anyone.
Gogogo yoe Flash Wolves!

There is no rule whether a newly signed player would be allowed or disallowed for the playoffs. When mYinsanity signed Sacsri Pengwin ruled out that he would be allowed to play this season, so I guess it would be disallowed for the playoffs.

They might make an exception though due to exceptional circumstances. I mean, I feel this would be far more fair than letting them have a joker which would be undermining in my opinion. It's also preferable to them having to drop a map each game.
But I'm still holding out for a yoeFW victory to make this all academic anyway.
|
I think they should ask Dear if he wants to play as their joker in the playoffs.
|
Heromarine is fun to watch .
|
This kid is pretty legit, going toe to toe with San.

and there were no splits to be seen

I think Starbuck just sent a huge clump of changelings to body block the templars so he could attack the tempests without getting stormed. Sick.
|
I don't think he can kill 30+ tempests with the gas remaining for Starbuck. Depends on the HTs and Vipers I guess.
|
wow, nice queens and hydras at the end
|
EUROPE HOLDS!!!
|
SH is just retarded.. and I play zerg..
|
|
bit disappointed in San's game plan there
|
What ? That corruptor play was super impressive. Most Zerg just die when mass tempest production is on.
|
Almost flawless decision making by Starbucket the whole game. He knows exactly what to do and why.
Also note how he made all his critical tech at the natural and spammed static def around it so he could easily shield it. Protecting the double spire so your corruptors can keep up with upgrades against the protoss air ball is essential. Roro-like understanding of how to play this MU.
Scarlett said that few foreigners are much better than koreans at SH-play The difference between someone who truly understand how the unit works vs someone who just kind of builds it and starts sending locusts out is like night and day. Watch how Stephano wins every SH vs SH ZvZ. Gamesense and a deeper knowledge of how units interact is more important than mechanics with SH.
|
Usually, end-game PvZ is pretty one-sided one way or the other, but that was a real nail biter. Well-deserved win for Starbuck!

If mouz wins they deserve it. I just feel like the playoffs are going to be disappointing if they have to forfeit maps as a 3 man team

And Leenock split like moses with his roaches.

Moses didn't split that well. He was very slow (well, according to the movie).

Well he also needed 40 years to cross a stretch of land that should be a matter of months.

So has he agreed to join a new team? Or do you mean speculatively?

Why are you so awesome Leenock

Man, Why Vortix always plays ZvZ? Seems like all Mouz players have strong problems vs Zerg.

Oh snap can Starbuck pull this off. I don't see him beating San twice in one day

Guess Leenock is a bit tired idk. Getting very late in Taiwan
|
This is so tense. 1 Game desiding everything! Go Starbuck!
|
Sick play there. Starbuck with a bit of a lead now
|
Does anyone else think it's really stupid that MSC has enough energy to have 2 photon overcharges active at the same time? His natural and main were both overcharged at the same time... that seems silly to me :/

Starbuck had way too little units to attack there.

Yeah! Mousesports is in the playoffs of the ATC for the first time ever! Huge congratz to mouz, and for Starbuck and HeroMarine for todays games.
|
Gee gee! Figured Yoe was a lock for the playoffs given the revive format with San and Leenock as ace players, but good on Mouz for taking them down
|
Starbuck too strong!
GZ mouz, somehow unfortunate that they release vortix even if he plays for them in the playoffs. Its a weird situation but mouz's ace is Starbuck apparently. He improved so much under mouz.
I mean thats what mouz was all about, young talented players with a lot of potential go and win dreamhacks^^ like mana and thorzain
also heromarine is quite talented but a bit inconsistent. Sometimes really good, sometimes a bit underwhelming.
At least they dodged Acer for the playoffs, because Innovation too strong in tvz.

Since you can't add players to play for playoffs and mouz are left with 3 players, are they now disqualified?

When you have to fill all the time by yourself as a solo caster you have to say a lot of stuff. Not everything you say can be a real winner :D It's just the general lack of technical analysis and in particular inaccurate calls regarding engagements and who is winning at any given moment, that can get a little old at times. I typically mute everything except a very select group of casters anyway so I don't care too much, but I get his point. For some reason I never can mute casters even if I don't like them. I typically will listen to any casting if the games are interesting, and if it is bad casting and bad games I will just tune out. Always kinda liked Khaldor though because when he is solo casting on his stream he is super relaxed and I occasionally like casual viewing experiences.

wow is this the biggest achievement by a foreign team (no Korean players) ever?

Haha. Stupid sexy Starbuck :D
Gabriel Segat - July 4, 1997 (age 16) Matic Dejak - January 30, 1997 (age 17)
mouz may not have much going for them nowadays, but they do have a good investment in the future

so playoffs matchups will be Liquid vs mouz and Acer vs Axiom? Should be pretty good. Sad that neither myi nor yoefw made it

Yeah mouz ! So glad ! I hope VortiX will be able to help them in the playoffs. Rooting for them anyway !

If we count every game, he played as lost, Mouz would still make the playoffs, just with 8-3/+9 instead of 8-3/+12. I'd say, that it counts.

Congrats to Mouz and to Starbuck! Really happy that they got to the play-offs, getting ahead of EG, Mill, MYI and yoe Flash Wolves. A very impressive achievement already even if they won't make it to the podium. Still hope for another run like in the 1st IPL Team Arena Challenge when Mouz took out Millenium and Slayers in the winners bracket and coL.MVP in the Losers' Finals. They even won the 1st match of the Grand Final vs. QIM (an all-kill by ThorZaIN).

He left the team and considering how super strict the admins have been with punishing other teams, letting vortix play even though hes not a part of the team would be spitting everyone else in the face

Well they had a lot of good fortune along the way but yeah, beating yoe Flash Wolves today to seal a play-off spot is certainly an incredible result for them so congratulations to them. I really hope VortiX can play for them in the play-offs so they have enough players and are more competitive.
Oh and Starbuck....what a great player he is developing into. He may have dropped out of Challenger but in the ATC he is performing incredibly well, probably the most in-form foreigner in the ATC aside from Dayshi.

I imagine most teams would not be ok with that. If you aren't paying a player and he's not contracted, he shouldn't be playing for you, period. I'm certainly not ok with it. If you want a player for your team, then hire him for your team, ex-players do not count.

my guess is if the mouz' manager said that, he had an agreement from the admins before

Have to agree on this, i know this sucks for Mouz but that is hardly the fault of ATC or the other teams. No Mecenary, period

And if that went through without other teams being consulted then there will be a discussion to be had. I will ask and find out what has happened.

Really unfortunate that Starbuck lost to CranK. Axiom would have been eliminated and we wouldn't have to deal with the constant whining from Crot4le and all this shit from TB. They already fucked up in Season 1 not being able to attend the playoffs. It is for the organisers to take a decision on this matter and definitely not up to them.

Hahaha whining? Axiom are in the play-offs and Alicia won his group. I couldn't be happier. And how is this 'shit' from TB? He is perfectly justified in not liking this because the rules are the rules are all the other teams have abided by them.
|
Admins have been very consistent in being harsh against teams when it suits them. XMG and Bountyhunters (sponsors and players based in germany) got away with bending the rules to no ends. If another german based team gets away with playing with players who aren't in the team then they should just stop doing this tournament all together.
|
He is registered in ATC as a mouz player so I can see how one could make a case for him to continue and play the season out. The "he's no longer a mouz player" defense is kinda strong though.
|
or maybe if teams have a problem with the way ATC is run they are free to not participate. Could people for once respect the authority of the admins please? Its not your tournament and you're in no position to weigh in on the decision.
It's always the teams that get the tournament in trouble. Teams are not reading the rules thoroughly when joining the league, teams disbanding mid season, a group of players sign themselves up as a team, when they're not a team, teams try to hire mercenaries, when mercenaries are forbidden, teams releasing players right before the playoffs so they dont have enough players left to compete.. How are you supposed to run a tournament properly if everyone's causing issues all the time and put you in those awkward controversial positions.
and then everyone feels entitled to an opinion on that matter. Just let the admins do their job and mind your own business. All this lobbying is getting on my nerves.

I guess they should use Dear as well to make sure they beat Liquid ;P

what if they modified his contract and agreed to extend it for the duration of the ATC season, Vortix plays for mouz, mouz shares the winnings of the playoffs with vortix.
Would that be an acceptable solution?

So basically a joker? That would face some pretty strong opposition from the three other teams in the playoffs, and ATC has already abolished the joker rule.
Also, do we have confirmation on what the playoff dates are, and what the format is? I know that it's a double elimination bracket, and that the top two teams go to Krefield for the Grand Finals. I also heard of Bo3 and that the loser from the Grand Finals has to start down 0-1 in maps. Is that the case? Will each match basically be 2-3 Bo9s instead of the one? That would be pretty cool

Actually it absolutely is up to us and the other teams. The person it's definitely not up to is some random bitching in an LR thread with no grasp of the facts.
I can also assure you that "fortune" had nothing to do with Starbuck losing. If half our team wasn't playing like dummies that day, it wouldn't have even got to that point. I would actually prefer Mousesports to be in the final 4, they are the weakest team and give us the best shot at the finals. I do however believe for the sake of the integrity of the tournament, that a team with only 3 legit players should not be in the finals, since mercenaries are not allowed and you can't just go releasing players from their contracts then still expecting them to play for you, that defeats the point of being a team. It's my personal opinion that they should forfeit their spot for another, complete team since they are no longer capable of competing, but the final decision is between the admins and the managers of the 4 teams in the playoffs.
As for "fucking up". Anyone who knew a thing about that situation is well aware of the miscommunication that went on and our unwillingness to drop $6,000+ on flights as a result.

Dear TB,
Perhaps my post was a bit too emotional and I didn't make myself perfectly clear. But as you decided to express your opinion in this thread instead of discussing the issue directly with the organisers and the other teams, you should be ready to bear with the consequences 
Now on a more serious note. I definitely agree with the fact that preserving the integrity of the tournament is a legitimate aim. Today it's one of the best and most entertaining team leagues with high prises and a fierce competition. However, is sanctioning Mouz for deciding to terminate a contract with a player a proportionate measure to be taken (both suitable and necessary to preserve the legitimacy)?
As you pointed out, miscommunication and financial issues made you drop a well-earned playoff spot in Season 1. Financial issues may have made Mouz to release their best player. Do we have to take away 2000 dollars from them (guaranteed for the 4th place)? I believe that other solutions are possible such as an obligation for Mouz to have 4 player on real contracts (meaning that Mouz would have to effectively hire a new player or prolongate its contract with Vortix until the end of the playoffs). I agree that mercenaries should not be allowed.. although I think it should be the same rule for full-mercenary teams such as Bounty Hunters
Axiom not taking a playoff spot was not the only thing that didn't work in Season 1. There was also the transfer of the Duran brothers to Mouz and the disband of Karont3. Would be a pitty to have one more scandal in Season 3.

The only scandal would be mouz playing with a new player in playoffs, not them being removed.

You have to decide: Either roster changes before the playoffs are ok or they aren't. If roster changes are ok, mouz can sign a new player. If the roster is not allowed to be changed, Vortix can stay. Letting roster changes effect the line up in one way (players leaving), but not in the other way (players joining) does not make sence. If you are against mercenaries, I don't really see, why actually signing a new player brings any problems. If everything else fails, Mouz has to pull a Karont3 and give Tidus Mino some playtime, since he was on Mouz since the beginning of the season.

I believe according to the rules, a newly signed played is not immediately eligible to play for a bit (2 playweeks?). It's similar to Proleague, where new players are not immediately allowed to be fielded, and mYi had this issue when they couldn't play Balloon immediately. So roster changes are not allowed in such short notice.
Vortix is already gone. He's already played his last match. MouzVortix no longer exists. Mouz will need to work something out with the tournament admins and the other 3 playoff teams. We'll see what happens.

I can't tell, if you are serious either. Roster changes working in one way but not in the other is just flawed logic. New players (who actually get signed) coming into Teamleagues and playing is nothing new. And there is no mercenary problem with that at all.

It is not "flawed logic", it's how every tournament ever has worked. You can't ADD players to a team but nothing stops you from removing them. Find any tournament ever where the rules are that you can't remove players from your team.
Although wouldn't surprise me if the mental gymnastics and logical leaps were made to make this happen.

Do you even read what you respond to? Or do you deliberately misunderstand because you have no point?
You can always remove a player whenever you want, but you can't add a player whenever you want.
This is such a moment where you can't just go adding players.
