Isn't it the players responsibility to register on time? This doesn't bother me at all. Pro missed his chance for a spot, got an amateur to give him an ID, and played under that name, clearly against the established rules of the tournament, so he got DQ'd. Makes sense.

I do agree however that the Chinese national champ should be in WCS, but it doesnt sound like he registered on time. I'm not saying that there arent a few shady things going on with this tournament, but I dont understand why this is such a big deal.

Please enlighten me if i'm missing something about the story

Well you are indeed missing basically everything ^ _ ^
He did register in time, and he checked in, but for some reason MLG didnt put him in the 512 people bracket.

Do you have a list of everyone that registered, and the order they registered in, then? I'm not sure how you could know that without it.

Translation of the text in OP's post. Please let me know if there are any errors.

The situation is this: after I knew to register on MLG's website on the 25th, I took the first opportunity to do so; several team members also signed up the first chance they could. This was done by 10 o'clock last night. But we could not find our names later. FruitsBasket is my apprentice, when he saw that the Americans had banned me, he gave me his account to play with. I lost a game in the first round because my internet connection was not properly adjusted, which is also what happened later on in a game against hendralisk that I lost. A mere 2 minutes after the game began, my web dropped and I was penalized by the admin, who said that dropping a game after more than a minute of play would be penalized. After advancing from the first round, FruitsBasket wanted to keep it a secret, so I made a post on the forum. Do you guys know difficult it is for Chinese players to compete at these kind of events? First, just registering is difficult. Then we must start playing at 2am in the middle of the night. Even though I advanced, and theoretically playing 7 best of 3 matches during the day is not tiring, having continued from overnight play and needing to wait in the middle for downtime is [tiring]. Last night in Hangzhou (city in China), it was only a few degrees [as in, it was cold]. infi, they had long gone to bed. I alone persevered in front of the computer; in order not to fall asleep, I continuously splashed my face with cold water. After persisting, by the time I fought THESTC at 10:30 I could not keep my attention focused anymore. I ended up losing, otherwise I would have had a good opportunity to advance. In reality there is no one willing to use an alias to play, but there is no alternative. I wanted to go far in this tournament and prove that Chinese players are skilled. We cannot let the Americans look down at us; we must keep the belief that we can go as far as we want to. In the end this is how the situation ended up. I hope that everyone can continue with their support, even though in these competitions there is no money won from online play. Even though problems appear such as issues with obtaining visas, I stayed up until 11:30 [in the evening of the next day], under pressure, in order to play this game. I just wanted to prove the skill of Chinese e-sport athletes. If MLG believes that I wasn't allowed to play under an alias, if they won't let me play then I will forfeit. But everyone, please continue to support your fellow Chinese. It isn't easy for any of us.

They knew it from the beginning. And yet DQed comm at final. What's a justice.

I think thats why people seem to be upset.

According to TB, Fruitsbasket did play his first match and beat some player before Comm hopped on to play the rest of the tournament? Can someone verify this?

I don't think so. At least Comm himself said, that he didn't and I haven't seen any evidence claiming otherwise.
