As much as I'd like to agree with you that everyone here is being 'funny', Jai, I have to say that the fact that that team didn't get banned doesn't mean the moderators should make the wrong decision again (not sure whether not banning LLL is the wrong decision btw, can't fully judge on it of course).
I meant it... in a sarcastic way. I don't believe LLL will disqualified. The grounds seem insubstantial (just because they were late isn't likely grounds for disqualification, as the admins believe in sportsmanship). Matt and Flash will probably grant them another 24 hours to have the match, but beyond that, I don't think anything will be done. Unless there is screenshots or whatever of the conversations that occurred, I believe LLL isn't breaking any rules.
When a dispute like this arises it is rarely if ever one-sided. You may only hear one side but rest assured there is more to the story, every time.
jhoijhoi, it has happened that a team has won more than one round in a row without even playing a match, but this is because their opponents failed to make a showing. Our North American tournament was particularly large and lasted 8+ weeks. Some teams couldn't make it to the end, and often it's the low Elo teams that lose organization or have a member drop out. Because we seed the tournament, it is basically guaranteed that the highest Elo teams are going to coast through a round or two this way.
Regarding your previous opponent's Elo score, we've already discussed that in another thread.
Due to the highly competitive nature of LoL, tempers and tensions flare up easily, as has happened in this case. We will give these teams every opportunity to finish their match. As we always tell people, we are here to have a solid League of Legends competition, not to argue and fight over specifics in the rules. We have pages and pages of rules due to these disputes, but it should really be very simple - play the game and may the best team win. Some teams get so hung up on the rules that they forget themselves, and we try to remind them why they are here in the first place.
Since we have to keep the tournament rolling for all the other teams involved, it sometimes comes down to the wire and we are left with no choice but to disqualify someone. We have limited information and little of it can be proven without a doubt, so we do the best with what we have and keep things moving. Someone is going to come out of that angry. Hence why we try so hard to get everyone to put aside their disputes and settle it in the arena.
This matter is being discussed with both captains and the admins over PM, I request that the teams involved continue the discussion there. That is what the report buttons are for, guys. Locked.

They then won the next round through forfeit (other team couldn't make it).
They then won the next round through forfeit (Team Rez had a conflict in their schedule).
Then then lost the next round through forfeit because they didn't turn up to the round.
They played a whopping 2 games the entire tournament and progressed half way through.
Sounds fair, right?
You really think they'll disqualify Team LLL, when Bay Area United wasn't even sent a warning and managed to climb the ladded through forfeits, lies and deceit?
Funny.
