So I decided to sign-up for today's CraftCup tournament, little did I know how bad this tournament actually is...
I play and win the 1st round match for the Pre-grid, then for the 2nd round I'm matched up with nightend. I add him on f list and wait... After 5 minutes I send a report to the CraftCup admins asking what should I do if my opponent is not online, and what are the rules for this kinda thing. A few seconds later an admin contacts me on battle.net and says the wait is 15 minutes, so I wait... 20 minutes have passed and still nightend is not online, so I ask the admin "now what?" and he replies "ok np i gave u walkover, continue with the round 3 match".
I continue playing and win my round 3 match. So now I have a round 4 match to play, right? Wrong. Another admin now contacts me and says I have to go back and play my round 2 match cause nightend is now online and there was a misunderstanding. This has got to be a joke... I tell him that another admin gave me the walkover after 20 minutes of waiting, but he insists that I have to play my round 2 match otherwise he will kick me out of the tour. And I'm like "man u have rules and I followed them, why arent you doing the same?". I also ask him where are the rules that say anything about this matter. No response.
Clearly because the admins stuffed up now they were blaming me for round 2. Instead of him talking with the other admins and resolving this for future tournaments, he just kicks me out of the tour for what? I played my games, followed the rules, but it doesn't matter cause the CraftCup admin does whatever he wants and removes me from the tour.
What a well-run tournament... heads up people, CraftCup doesn't follow their own rules.

He wasn't asking for help, read his post and he says that it's a heads-up of how stupid they are.

that sucks man, yeah sounds like that guy may have been a friend of admin or something.
Why run a tournament, make rules, and don't even abide by your own rules??
|
I don't want this forum to do anything, I'm just helping other players realize that this tournament does whatever they want.

Still doesn`t make sense to post it here and try to bash a tournament that has been around for a long time. The proper way would be going to their website and talking to their admin`s about why it was handled this way and if they are going to do something about it. Maybe if you try being an admin of a tournament without chat channels you would realise how much of a pain it is.

Sounds like a shotty deal if its true man. Nightend is mTw so infer from that what you will.
@Kralic he isn't trying to get the forum to do anything for him, he is sharing his experience with a popular tournament in the euro servers. What's that post doing for anyone?

Strange things can happen when money is involved. Although I wouldn't ruin the reputation of the tournament for an action of 1 admin.

I was talking to the admin for like 15 minutes and he never gave me a reasonable answer for why this issue was handled like this. What more could I have done? And btw, what does MTW have to do with anything?

you should. cause if everyone keeps doing it whenever admins cock up, eventually nobody will ever cock up again. not to mention how its necessary if we ever want any form of professional e-sports outside of korea.

What don't you understand about his post? They would just delete his thread on their site and probably ban him for making them look bad.

Are you by chance Moutas? http://craftcup.com/ says a guy named Moutas was DQd and an explanation is forthcoming.
|
this post should be a blog instead of a thread
|
it doesn't make sense at all to play round 3 then go back and play round 2 because it changes the entire outcome.
If you lose r2, then what? does nightend have to replay the guy you played in r3? so many variables
|
that is just horrible T_T damn that admin :/
|
Obviously I don't know what happened, but it seems that if Nightend was DQed due to a mistake on the part of the tourney admins (as opposed to a mistake on his part that they decided to go easy on), their request that you play him would be reasonable. It would suck for you, but it would still be the least unfair option they had.

Yes I am Moutas.
