Starting on Page 7, using the phrase, "Welfare Circus Series/System" will result in mod action. It breeds negativity and it's just generally a stupid thing to say. All in all, please stop discussing the WCS system, this thread is about the disqualification. |

We have an update regarding the current WCS EU Challenger series. As part of an ongoing investigation into win-trading, two players have been removed from the WCS EU Challenger series. The players MarineLorD and DnS are now ineligible to participate in the WCS EU Challenger series leading into the WCS Circuit Spring Championship at DreamHack ZOWIE Open Tours. As such, the bracket has been redrawn, and the two places are taken by Bly and Guru, as 15th and 16th seeds.
As of today, this ruling only applies to the WCS EU Challenger series for the WCS Circuit Spring Championship. However, win-trading is a serious offence and there may be further consequences upon completion of the investigation.
Redrawn bracket:

If you look at the screen from a distance and from an angle, UTHERMAL VS DAYSHI ends up kind of looking like: UTHERMAL VS DAY9!!!

|

...kinda ironic how Bly, who did the same thing in the Winter Ladder and moved on without problem, is now replacing MarineLorD who is now getting punished...
|
Bly cheated last time, got noticed and managed to get to Katowice without qualifying.
One suspicious game is enough to suspend two players.
Interesting way of handling things.
|
This win-trading.. is this done right before the time when the top 16 is determined?
|
With the amount of tourneys going on now and the region lock, I guess they want to maintain integrity and follow KeSPA?
Also, mandatory Liquid teamkill? Maybe 2x?

Could potentially lose his Spring Champ spot too
|
So Bly cries like a baby and then he's put back into the bracket?
Hope the replay is relevant though, cause if it's not...
