Well, if they follow their rules, then their rules must suck. Besides, their rules explicitely stated that players MAY be disqualified, so they could have leave him off with a slap on his hands but without disqualification and still follow their rules. | ||

Yeah since China got shafted for not having a qualifier, despite being a pretty good country for SC2 they were encouraged to play on NA. TL;DR: Shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. | ||

TL;DR: Shut up if you don't know what you are talking about. Also I think most the players aren't really upset about having to stay up, but rather that after each round they have to wait a few hours, then if their game was supposed to be aired they have to wait longer than that(Miya said on twitter a match of his being delayed 90 minutes since it was suppose to be on stream). As I read from the complaints, I feel they are more complaining about the disarray of the bracket and pretty much nothing being done to accomidate the players. My personal feeling of the subject is that MLG pretty much made the qualifiers all about them, fucking off players and viewers alike. I mean stopping brackets from being up-to-date is imo disgraceful and not mentioning if you are watching games live or replay is too. | ||

What other choice did he have? To get into the korean one he needs to get into code S and since their are no Chinese ones he decided to go for NA since EU is laggy from there. | ||

Yeah making people wait for hours in-between their games because there's only ONE stream and they want it on it.... Pretty bad. MLG should have done the same as in EU, just let the community casters and various other people stream the games. I even watched some of the Russian casts because they had a game on I wanted to watch more. | ||

Can anyone tell me? they were told they are checked in and ready to play by an admin. unfortunately he forgot to add them to the grid, so they couldn't play at all. unless with another account that made it into the tiny 512 player bracket. like comm who did play for fruitbasket. | ||

People who are saying Comm should be DQ'd? The casters knew from the get go, nobody called him anybody but COMM. The entirety of MLG staff knew, just appears a few amateur players who got matched against him didn't know. He played all the games himself. Shuttle did this on the EU qualifiers. He is not DQ'd. Crank broke the rules, he is not DQ'd. Demuslim broke the rules, he is not DQ'd. Sooo many people broke the rules. So I ask you this, do you still think only Comm should be DQ'd, and do you honestly think what he was doing was 'cheating'? Please explain. I also hope you have seen the chat log from the admin before he did this stating he was good to go. He only did this as a last resort because he was lied to multiple multiple times and there was precedent from the EU qualifiers that this was legit. Stop defending MLG, they fucked it up, and their rules are worded in a form that they 'may' DQ, so its up to them in the long run, its not a 'we must dq him' type of rule | ||

Jim and XY from iG were told by MLG admins they are checked in and "good to go", it turns out that they didn't get their spot because checked in only means they are in the queue, which was not notified to them. | ||

So - that's just not the issue at all! And not why he got DQ'd. He got DQ'd because when you sign up for an event you enter additional personal information, which lets them give you the money prizes, in case you win. And in his case he never registered his personal information. And they can't bend the rule for this case, because it would create a precedent and all kinds of people could start giving false information upon registering and later update it, once they are high up in brackets. Thus anyway, the DQ is not why we should be angry, we should be angry about the 512 player limit and failure to let all candidates participate in WCS (World Champion Series - emphasis on "world"). | ||

Also, my point was stop blaming mlg because of a MAY. Decision was made, nothing can be done. Move on. If you want to blame anyone, blame Blizzard for not having all online quals for Korea, then he could've played there and on his time. It should go by continent, but Korea, for some reason is it's own. | ||

Any pro could decide to change his ID right before registering, it's not against the rules. And the organizers are not obligated to investigate every pro's ID history and inform everyone about it. So, theoretically, any pro could play in this under unknown ID, anyway. So - that's just not the issue at all! And not why he got DQ'd.

If I say you may not do something, you are not allowed to do it, period. This is the form they are using. | ||
