Qualifiers and giving teams the shaft.

[Kyre]

- Slow Roll from Dragonmaw got the shaft. - PvE Clickers and Apex from wherever had to win-trade (for PvE Clickers to get in). - Sponsored teams got in even when they were ranked 125th, go figure. - Who the fuck knows what else went on.

Yeah it seems Blizzard fucked up pretty hard. Teams being uneligable for random reasons, teams 100-200 points below others qualifying because Blizzard didnt use updated rankings, and nothing was done about win trading that I know of by Blizzard. Sadly members of my guild participated in win trading as well, but have since been removed for "other" reasons. Is there some way to find out who exactly qualified and who didnt, or is word still just spreading from who got emails and who didnt still?

[Kyre]

It's just from emails at the moment. Slow Roll was ranked 2nd because they took screen shots of Armory, in game, and of Standing in the Armory, and they all ahve them in second (I believe, maybe it was third) and then Blizzard just fucked them over.

Who honestly didn't see something like this coming? Blizzard has yet to get anything right since this game has been released.

Ya, I am in reckoning battlegroup with Slow Roll and PvE Clickers and Pro Up. (PvE Clickers and Pro Up are from my server). I don't think Pro Up is even going to be able to go. I am pretty sure I read somewhere that they can't go because they have people from Canada in their team, and Canada is included in the ineligible area. Actually, the word is that in the reckoning battlegroup the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th teams were all DQed for various reasons.

Even if your rating/ranking was high enough, to qualify your TEAM needs to be eligible. That means you must have 5 eligible players. People from Canada and some US states are not eligible. There are two issues here: 1. entire teams being DQd because of one member. 2. Inaccurate rating data being used. Many of the teams DQ'd were done so well within the rules.

So much racism.

Canadians are not eligible because according to Canadian law this tournament is a form of gambling and gamblin is illegal in Canada. Or something like that.

Wish Blizzard would do something about the teams that cheated and still qualified, probably wont even look into the matter, they got enough on their plate as it is.

1. PvE Clickers are fags. If anyone here is from them, fuck you. 2. At least 5 members from Slow Roll are elegible, and I believe 7 or 8 are in total. Blizzard is fucked up, I don't get how they expect to have a decent tournament next season, but I know they will because everyone will say 'Hey all the serious team are boycotting, lets win this one.' It's bull.

It's bull. I actually don't really play anymore, but I have heard the stories about PvE Clickers from friends and it is pretty lame. But individually, a lot of them are pretty much the best pvpers on the server. Nition, Alchol and Michele are all top notch imo.

[Kyre]

They might be top notch, but that will never change the fact that they win-traded with their own guild to push themselves into the qualifiers.

PvE Clickers should be DQ'd for having such a homosexual name.
