Chinese national champion Comm has been disqualified from WCS America after being found to be using a registered tournament account that was not his own. On the ID 'Fruitsbasket', Comm was able to make it all the way to the final round of the winner's bracket, only to lose to Complexity's TheStC.
Comm did register for WCS America and checked in on time, but due to the massive amounts of sign-ups for the tournament and no restriction on who was able to play, many top Chinese national players such as Jim and Comm were unable to participate. Seeing what occurred, Fruitsbasket - a Chinese amateur - gave Comm his spot in the tournament and the Chinese champion, under disguise, was one series away from qualifying for WCS America before MLG found out what occurred and DQ'ed him from the tournament.

Incredibly stupid move from MLG. WCS NA is a joke at this point, this is just one more thing.

Now now, how else were Diamond players going to get their rocks off playing in a world championship, if MLG gives all the bracket spots to national champions and pro players?
Joe Silver needed his shot at fame and glory.

People giving up their spots for pros happened in the EU qualifiers like all the time and no one gave a fuck. It's just so pointless, especially seeing how late MLG is to notice anything.
|
I think we should let Blizzard know of the issues with MLG, and maybe Blizz can put pressure on that end, seeing how MLG is not willing/competent in fixing things.
|
What's bad about giving a spot? If they can't even make enough room for the best players?
|
So my first thought is that it's a shitty situation, but MLG should follow their own rules whenever possible, and letting Comm essentially smurf his way all the way through the tournament is afaik not allowed.
Then I thought that the tournament is screwed anyways with how it handled the Chinese players, and that if it's this much of a joke already, they may as well have let him keep playing. It's not as if you can dig the grave any deeper -- except by DQing Comm ...

Whoever designed the NA WCS tournament style should be fired...

Wait a minute, so you want one incompetent organization to fix the mistakes of another?
Be careful what you wish for...

you let an amateur from china keep his place but not wcs china champion? this is silly, blizzard will not be pleased, and how can you blame the dude, mlg's mess up meant he had to do that to compete.

There is still time to change this decision. I really hope that MLG reads the outrage here and decides to do that. But given the way they responded to feedback so far I really doubt it will happen...
|
I like they notice this when hes one game away from qualifying but don't notice Hyun before he knocks out like 3 people.
