It's not clear what Fig's 'feelings about Supra' are, or why they neccessitate Supra not playing. Supra has played the whole tournament with Apollyon.

It's odd that Fig is telling Apollyon that TSSS will be using a ringer, when that is contrary to the rules. As I recall, Fig citied an even pettier rule to award Apollyon a forfeit loss in the earlier stages.

It seems to me that Fig is being rather fast and loose with the rules with an obvious bias against Apollyon. I don't envy Fig the role of tournament leader, it seems a huge and largely thankless task, but I can't help but feel there has been a significant administrative **** up.

To end the tournament without a final would be a real shame. I think most people would like to see the final rescheduled. Let Supra play, let Hib play if Lucky can't, whatever, just play!

i'm here to happily announce that i approve all the current and all upcoming decisions by fig. Spectacular summer to all of you <3

If Fig had a good reason to ban Supra, then fine. But to allow TSSS to use a ringer, rulebook be damned, that's unjust.

Perhaps Apollyon felt that if TSSS can have a ringer then Supra should be allowed to play? I mean, if the rules are now being bent, why not? I'm just speculating, obviously.

The thing is, Apollyon were within their rights to refuse TSSS a ringer, and take the FFW that is rightfully theirs if TSSS cannot field a full listed team. So you can legitimately argue that Apollyon won the tournament.

Anyway, assuming no final will be played, it's going to stink, no matter who admin awards the crown to. Which is why I think the final should still be played regardless. Allow the teams to reach an agreement and make it happen.

I fully approve of Figs decision.  Fig did bend the ringer rule but it was only for the sake of the tournament being played out and he did not only bend it for TSSS. Once Grizz and Fig started talking I was shown the converstion and it showed that Fig even told him "you have 15 minutes to find a ringer". I then even passed the conversation onto the casters so they could be aware of what would be happening and to just keep delaying.

Did Fig bend a rule? Yes. Did he do it for the sake of the tournament being played out? Yes. Did he do it for BOTH teams? Yes.

Fig saw what he was doing and made it an equal opportunity for both teams so for those saying Fig  let TSSS slip through a rule and broke Apollyons back over the same one, you're incorrect. Fig upheld the rules to a T and in the end was forced to bend them, but he made sure he did it in an equal manner for all those involved.

Just my 2 cents.

I should aslo add for everyone that was on the stream, I am deeply sorry for making you guys wait over an hour before really anything was casted. Hopefully, the game can still happen to some extent.

Since when giving a team time to find an alternative player considered bending rule?

I couldn't have agreed with you more on this. We'll see if the match can be played today.
Also, Section 7: Unsportsmanlike conduct

Each participant is expected to hold themselves to a high standard of professional and courteous conduct toward others at all times. Abusive, harassing, disrespectful, or unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated -- neither during a tournament match nor in any other venue.

Penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct will typically include a forfeit loss (if during a live match) and player or team suspension from any number of future matches (per section 7..

When this was shown to fig, he stated its too late (according to grizz). The rule clearly said "neither during a tournament match nor in any other venue." So why wasn't this being confiscated since supra is also known for this type of things. If that was too late to take care of then I guess someone acting up in a match is too late too. Am i right?

Since using any ringers is against the rules during the playoffs.

No ringers whatsoever will be allowed in the playoff phase of the tournament, regardless of consent from either team.

In all serious,  whatver happened, happened.  In my eyes, fig is a fine admin.  He can choose to bend rules, ban, regulate, etc in his tournament.  I know it seems like alot of drama or unfair shit happens, but honestly just chill.  I play this game not for the fame, but cuz of the friends i've made over the years.
