does this bother you? are you offended?

Posted by Dominik on 2016-07-04 03:10:50

Yes and no.

Quite a bit of stuff went down there. I guess I can't go into the details but let me assure you the teams that did advance to round 3 deserved to advance.

I'm more impressed by that 7-0 win just above!

I hate it when this kind of stuff happens, but it's not usually the one who gets to the third round who should get the scorn

@wreckage I do not think that Dominik was meaning any wrong doing from an administrative position more that it's disappointing that games do not get played.

There are a multitude of reasons games don't get played but those coaches that progress are generally (the odd randomly decided one notwithstanding) the most actively seeking to fulfill the games.

isn't this naming and shaming?

Actually it is.

It's (the case) as publicly as a major tournament is.

I've definitely noticed a growing trend of this. People simply avoid playing their matches when scheduled against a killer team. Admittedly it's a good strategy if you have absolutely no integrity - either you pass through fresh to the next round or you lose the match with no injuries and simply apply to the next tournament and repeat

@paradocks - In the case of the second round bye the coach who forfeited recently made a public rage quit in the forums. Feel free to track him down and express your displeasure at Dasati Deathknights getting an easy route to the third round.

Or you know, just accept that real life happens and occasionally things like this can't be helped.
