RE: Numerous double disqualifications in the Qualifiers stage of the Beginner Division

Situation: A large number of double disqualifications occurred because of no-shows in the Beginner Division Qualifiers stage. Because of this, the tournament bracket is quite patchy, with some players having no opponent until the Ro64.

Result: To fill the holes in the tournament, players who were defeated in a Qualifiers match will be re-entered into the tournament by granting them the seed where a double disqualification occurred. This means that they will receive a bye to the Round of 128 to play against someone who otherwise would not have an opponent. Basically, players who were defeated in the Qualifiers that proved active and willing enough to schedule and complete their matches, will be granted a second tournament life.

RE: Numerous double disqualifications in the Qualifiers stage of the Beginner Division

Situation: A large number of double disqualifications occurred because of no-shows in the Beginner Division Qualifiers stage. Because of this, the tournament bracket is quite patchy, with some players having no opponent until the Ro64.

RE: TheLastSamurai vs LordRaphael

Situation: Players originally scheduled to play the match on Wednesday at 19:00 GMT. About 40 minutes before the match, TLS cancelled due to being ill. The players were asked to reschedule - and struggled to agree on a time. Raphael preferred to play after 20 GMT while TLS preferred to play at 17 GMT. Both players were unable to reach a compromise in the generous extension they were granted.

In our opinion, this match could have been played out easily if both players were more eager to communicate and compromise with each other. However, when weighing up various facts the admins came to the conclusion that TLS is responsible for the match not being played. TLS canceled the original appointment with Raphael just 30 minutes before the scheduled time. At the rescheduled date, TLS went offline just as Raphael came online to start the match. Moreover, TLS insulted and demeaned his opponent multiple times in a clear violation of rule 1.4. This is not good sportsmanship and this is not something we like to see in tournaments. All things considered, the admin team deems it fit to disqualify TLS from the tournament and advance Raphael. Seeing as the match is already way behind schedule, there will not be a replacement match.

Result: @The_Lastsamurai is disqualified from the ESOC Winter Championship and @lordraphael moves on to the Finals of the Advanced Division. The 3rd place of the Advanced Division will be defaulted to @princeofkabul and the 4th place earnings will be redisbursed to the rest of the prize-winning division.

RE: anseladams vs. Patrick20872

Situation: Anseladams did not show up at the agreed time and instead arrived 1.5 hours later. After multiple random pauses, he finally pauses indefinitely around the 7 minute mark. He was paused for 20+ minutes and did not return. Footage made by Patrick20872 confirms this version of events.

Result: Patrick20872 will advance to the Semi-Finals.

RE: Sargsyan vs. Lord_Proper, Lord_Proper vs. Patrick20872

Situation: From the Quarter-Finals onwards, Risi123 was found out to be smurfing on the account of Lord_Proper. The tournament admins figured this out through careful analysis of the acquired evidence. After being questioned, both players have admitted their involvement in the smurfing affair. We apologize to all those affected on Lord_Proper's side of the bracket and we hope our actions discourage anyone from cheating in the future.

Result: @Lord Proper and @risi123 are both handed 6-month tournament bans with a review of the case set to September 15th, 2020. @Sargsyan will move on to the Semi-Finals to face @Patrick20872. The winner and loser, respectively, will move on the Finals and the Bronze-Finals to face @stanleywinston and @Klestree.
