Chicks wrote:I'm writing to describe the situation and more importantly our decision that occurred this evening GMT.
As a courtesy , I will explain in detail how we came to this conclusion.
In Group Stage H2O Vs. Darwin Giovanny.
Warning 1 was issued to both players involved. October 12
I made this decision because it was played on a custom map and the stream was not accommodated; he also did not play on the rated map as allocated in the rules clearly. He immediately decided that "It's not worth it", and threatens that he will be "out", if he's not granted the points for the game. He continues the argument what if "Darwin forfeits", i found it alarming that he would mention something on another player's behalf, not very professional. He suggested that he would be given a warning and we move on; i hesitated to accommodate him because normally we don't take special requests from any player. I gave him the benefit of the doubt; in since he is a respected player in past events.
I agree with this statement, I also appreciate that everyone has to play on the same map like others
unless the game gets streamed. Now I didn't pay attention about this 'cause I just didn't care about it when I was playing myself, but since we are now discussing an important thing I'll take the opportunity to figure things out here.
Yes, it's great that everyone has to play on the same map,
unless the games get streamed Live when the players get far more balanced map because the maps with observers are more balanced than the average ones on which the other players played. Of course this makes some kind of disbalance,
but no one has complained about it officially which doesn't allow you guys now to flame Chicks.
The warning towards H2O was correct because he didn't follow the rules.
Round of 16 H2O Vs. Kiljardi.
Second and final Warning issued to H2O, first warning given to Kiljardi. November 6th
I have requested disqualification and asked for Shmras to review. Due to time constrains of the participants involved, I have decided to issue the warnings. The first map was played on a custom map, and the stream was not accommodated, claiming the streamer was not around to further schedule; and did not have time all week despite my efforts to offer up to a 4 day extension to have the games streamed. He then continued to recite that he will quit if he's asked to replay the first match (Great Plains).
Same thing here, there are rules and there are forums where you can request to change the rules but H2O did not that, I find H2O's behavior unacceptable for the situation which is described above, he did not follow the rules, again, which led to his second warning.
Semi Finals Refusal of communication from H2O.
Disqualification took place, H2O was deemed uncooperative. November 23rd
This player has refused contact with myself on ESO and other communication clients during the time this event was to take place. After the Japanese community requested that the streamers be figured out; H2O threatened that he and Goodspeed will no longer participant if "Chicks" casts. In short based on his record and profile this statement made by H2O secured the request for disqualification in this case by all parties involved.
The prizes earned by H2O will be floated to the pot and so will be divided among the other participants.
What I know thus far is that H2O aka Ryan refused to play if "Chicks" casts the match because he causes some lag to the game which I think is true. I've heard that Chicks refused to let other streamers cast the matches because they were not authorized streamers. Unfortunately, I don't know what else happened between H2O and Chicks on ESO or what they talked about, so I'll bring out the facts that I've gathered since the disqualification happened.
H2O and Garja could play their matches
without any casters if H2O didn't want anyone to cast the matches, or he could also choose any of other authorized streamers to cast the games instead, but as far as I know he
did not do that either which led to his disqualification.
Correct me if I'm wrong or bring out the arguments if you want to discuss this and don't act like kids, we're grown up men for god damn sake, discuss this like a normal people would do. I find most of the comments written in inappropriate language. If I misunderstood or missed something in my statements please share the extra information that you have, would help the situation to go on faster. Thank you.
