just skimmed through the rules, does anyone know if you also get penalty points for using a wild card too late if you have a really good reason (like being seriously sick)? In the rules there is nothing about exceptions so I wonder if they just do it by the book or have some common sense.
If I recall correctly Naniwa was ill a few weeks ago, not sure about the exact date but it might be connected to his penalty points for late wild card at 10th of October.

Its absolutely not a big deal to obey to rules, as can be seen by quite a few people having none or very few PPs. Almost all the penalty points that were given to naniwa are because he forgot things or was organized very bad. his teammate, cloud, cannot speak english either and is in the same situation as he is, yet he only accumulated 5 PPs, of which he got most at the start for some smallish things. After that he learned from it and didnt get any more.
While i agree alot of his PP's came because he just, didn't do as he should, some of the PP's that people get are totally unwarranted.
For example - you're saying people should be organised well and such? i got PP's for having too early statements ... Which, let's be fair is abit silly - even to the point where i had a tournament the week and i couldn't postpone it to 1 day out of the play week, i think little exceptions should be made, or atleast thought about for future seasons as, while yes - people who are unorganised or specifically try and make the admins' jobs harder do deserve them, others with pp's like my own, i don't really think i deserved them.
yes the rule about statements not being too early might be a bit too strict, but then again, when they made the rule they probably didnt want people to just copy paste the same statement 15 times at the beginning of the seasons, but instead write something with suits the current situation, so they just made up some numbers for a timeframe in which the statement should be posted, which happens to be between 1 week and 1 day before the match. on the other hand, you only get 1 PP for something like this which is really not a big deal...
as far as i know, exceptions can be made if you contact the admins well ahead in time, which, as far as i know, you didnt.
players always only see things out of their own view, never out of the view of the admins or the organisation of ESL TV, for which it is terrible if players change schedule on short notice.
He was under a NDA. ESL definitely should have been more flexible in this situation. If Demuslim told it earlier everyone would have known he goes to Blizzcon.
And after watching Demuslims Game I am pretty sure the fight would have been a catastrophe for Miou but I can't blame ESL on their decision as they need to have that rule to prevent abuse. The majority of top players would have decided to give a regame though.
Thanks for understanding my situation
May I ask where the rules state that you need to have a reason for postponing a match?
Main problem was i didn't actually know when it was happening or when my flights would be, and they got changed within the week of my match which is why it was all too late (since the players don't actually book their flights, they have it booked for them by blizzard) - which meant when i actually did know for certain (rather than giving a rough estimate which is when i postponed the miou match to 1 day after landing) i didn't know it would take up the time of my previous match also, so while i did try plan ahead i couldn't do it by just estimating time slots - which is why i asked for the exception to be made, for the game of the 19th to be played out of the play week (i moved mious match from the 26th to the 27th) as it wasn't like i was trying to be obnoxious in anyway, it was just something i couldn't help.
And the admins let miou decide if he wanted a regame or defwin or not, - miou has been a friend of mine for the past few years and i've never done anything treacherous towards him, he made a call which i totally do not agree with, and that i find totally unsportsmanlike considering he has no chance at making the finals anyhow and that he was supposedly a friend. It's strange how friends act when they are actually put in a situation when they have to make a decision you or them.
It is ok to ragequit, it is ok to whine about inbalance, but you have to respect other players. That's a big point in every sport. He hasn't that kind of respect - not ingame, not in his statements:
I am playing against goody tonight in EPS. he plays extremly weird so i think i will have a very hard time against his super lame style, i do not know why goody is always very arrogant and incapable of compromising so that other players can schedule games with him. Maybe i just missunderstood him but i dont think so. GG GL tonight.
So much flame on Naniwa... he is the most hilarious player on this game. And he dominates.. all the kids in here who say he's bad are probably because he whooped you on ladder... but im looking forward to his rage on Vent later poor nani

even if you are really sick with flu, you will get PP's (i checked that out today, i have the flu still, i would have got anything up to 8 pps apparantly)

Depends on the situation tough - If its needed (e.g. if you need to visit the hospital immediately) and you need to stay there for a while, sure we can use exceptions.

I can understand Miou though - he was, at least to most observers' eyes, at an advantage. Winning a game equals money. Given the choice and considering that he used a strategy he cannot easily play twice, I am not surprised. I don't think he was taking revenge or doing it to hurt you, he just made a logical choice. In any way, this has almost nothing to do with ESL, apart from the fact that they made the rules this way (which makes sense, otherwise disconnects or crashes would be impossible to solve and leave room for abuse).

so having Chicken Pox and fever (something where you don't need to go to the hospital) would be something which gets you PPs?
haha maybe u need a doctor's note? still it's hard to make that distinction, since the argument of being sick,if u just want to postpone a match,would of course be abused again. All in all the system seems pretty fair to me, especially considering some people having none pps at all.

Then give a limit per season or whatever. Its retarded that you get PP if your sick but if you don't play you get punished for it. That needs to be changed.
i don't know how's the healthcare system in germany but here in czech republic we have to pay for each visit at a doctor's office, i also usually prefer not even go visit a doctor and rather stay home
some rules are indeed dumb i think the penalty points system is really good, but the admins should be more benevolent
on monday naniwa didn't attend to his match cause 'being tired from DSRack lan at the weekend' on tuesday he first doesn't want to play because he is still tired and stuff and leaves the lost game with something like 'cant make decisions when i'm that tired" without gg. as a person who pays for esl tv premium i can only support rules that are as strict as they have to be to make sure the EPS runs on a close to normal schedule as long as they have to deal with immature kids like nani.

you only have to pay once per month here. so its like a health flatrate for one month. so if you dont want to go to work it costs you 10 Euro offtopic, my bad.

Wrong its 10€ per quarter (Quartal)
This thread is getting kind of outta ure supposed to bash Naniwa not ESL, also its not about any problems Demuslim has with this one lost game he deserved to loose in anyway by the rules. So plz start flaming Naniwa again and not the ESL thanks.
I can fully support banning Naniwa, BM is nice and cool from time to time but he just over did it.
But i'm 100% behind Demuslim , i was watching the game and he was about to crush miou. Also ESL is not without fault, i can remember several occations in the past where they just made the wrong calls and tried to push them trought like nothing happend and only outcry from the community could prevent injustice.
