Having a EU qualifier where neither the players are restricted geographically, nor the games are restricted serverwise is just weird. Why bother calling it EU qualifier to begin with?


Again, the servers are restricted according to the rules:

https://cdn.eslgaming.com/misc/media/play/starcraft/tsl/TSL5_Qualifiers_Rulebook.pdf

See section 1.1.3.1


Yes, but rules don't matter if they are broken by the tournament admins.


Precisely! Imagine a scenario where Special now earns some EPT points in this tourney and qualifies for the grand final because of it at the cost of someone else. Much as I like Special I would hate that to happen, because we would all know that the EPT point system had been compromised due to TSL 5 breaking its own rules. If I were Apollo I would do some calls right now, there is lots at stake here.

The worst part is that the admins broke the rules deliberately and not out of ignorance. According to SKillous there were a lot of discussions in the TSL chat and Vanya, Mana argued with the admins before the games were played on NA.

Just want to drop in and say we're working on figuring this out. Sorry for the mess, hope we can find a way to fix as much of this as possible.

Respecfully pointing out existing problems is one thing, recklessly barking accuses is another; be thankful that we were gifted anothers TSL first, these qualifiers were flawed for sure but by no means "catastrophic", "the worst ever" as someone would deduct judging by the comments seen here.

What a mess. TSL competing for the title of worst tournament organisation.
Particularly funny to see considering Koreans can only play in their own server qualifier, too. Wonder why the same doesn't apply to NA and EU players?

Yeah TSL is an organizational catastrophe to such extent that this thing giving out EPT points would be criminal at this point. It's getting worse with every passing qualifier.


You guys got it out of your system yet? Or do you need a couple more pages to score points with each other?

Obviously today did not go as smoothly as we had hoped for, but we are all here working hard to get the TSL going. There are lot of groups involved, and a lot of moving parts, so that sometimes leads to misunderstandings. But at the end of the day, all of us want a positive and fair result. I would imagine that goes the same for you.

As Olli said, we will let you know once it is sorted out, so save your armchair analysis until then. Just remember, what you type affects other people.

And this is the most insulting thing of all. If that is really what you think, then see you later.

My guess is he wasn't warned for the post alone, but for the post in context of all his previous posts in this thread.

edit: Goblin vs soul is peak PvT and EMPs are just gross.

What a strange game between MaNa and souL. MaNa loses scores of workers to mines, but then wins every engagement due to souL attacking into awful position after awful position playing like he'd already won the game.

What a choke by soul - felt like he tunnel visioned into liberators when Vikings might have been better against tempest colossi. Plus fell apart against the zealot harass. Good comeback by Mana tho

I think his composition was fine--anything would have done with that advantage. But doing stuff like pushing into the natural through the choke where your army gets stormed to death if they try to protect the very forward placed libs from all the tempest, and just letting the ghosts fight the colossi straight up is going to throw away any advantage. Props to MaNa for playing it very cool in those situations, and just zoning the army while picking away at the lib.

It would have to be through AM qualifier 3 given that he's already out of AM qualifier 2.

Just Harstem and Tlo to qualify for the full Liquid lineup. Harstem has a good shot as well considering how deep he is in the lower bracket. Man that last qualifier is going to be intense.
