Tournament policy, dictated by Usurp

[quote=throatslasher]You figure it out, it's your job. How about 50 posts per person or 1 good standing guide a person. That will for a the pro players to write guides for you. That's at least a good start. Every time they want to compete, they have to have an additional guide or 50 good posts. If they make shitty spam posts, thu will get warned. If they keep making nonsensical posts, banned. Like, writing 'nice' on a guide comment is not a post.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=TheBlueReaper] I really don't see what's so damn hard.Just make it so that anyone who isn't an active member of the community can't play and that's it.No more stupid threads and arguing.I mean like, who the f*** is Zig?Have you seen him post?No!So he doesn't get to play and thats it.It's a COMMUNITY cup, it shouldn't be filled with challenger kids looking for easy wins. [/quote] But I dont feel we should exclude challenger players who happen to be a real part of this community, if there are any. Community Cup is for the community, I agree. If anyone reached challenger around here they should be able to play.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]sirell and lifebaka bring up some GREAT points. I definitely support their arguments.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]I haven't participated in a MobaFire tourney since the very first one, where the enemy team we were up against registered at 1250 elo, but were all around 1500 (far beyond what my team was back then). To be fair, it was their first time hosting a tournament, and the elo verification system didn't exist. Don't get me wrong, I love MobaFire. But ever since that first tournament, I've never ever felt the urge to play in another one, especially with all this fiasco about even HIGHER elo people trying to bypass the rules, AND IN SOME CASES, getting away with it. Just like what happened to me. jhoijhoi's MobaFire tournament journey: a cautionary tale :P[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW]I don't see why both C4 and Throatslasher try to disqualify Team Clasik by force. Sure they are right, sure Team Clasik cheated. Unfortunately Team Clasik has been given the benefit of the doubt and got asked to change the roster and get a sub or they won't proceed to play the tournament and they will be declared forfeit. The story should end here. The fact that Throatslasher and C4 Lasty are trying to completely deny Clasik the roster change and go for the permanent disqualification proves that there's something more than a simple challenger trying to sneak in a Diamond tourney. Honestly this whole situation is snowballing into a big fuss for an issue that has been originally solved but because C4 and Throat want to push to bottlecap a bit further, this had to happen. One more thing, Twice now that I see " ...or else I leave Moba." in this thread. Don't be mistaken when you think that Mobafire is a shop and you're the client, basing your behaviour on the principle of the client being the king. If you threaten people to leave Mobafire, people will react the kinda bad way and tell you to "beat it already and keep the crying to yourself next time" (excuse my language). If you wanna solve an issue, do it without the drama.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]two more posts until you hit 10000 jhoi :)[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty]Actually Yaya you're the first person to raise this issue. Mobafire is a product. I don't buy shitty products at the store and I don't patronize shitty websites. If Moba allows a team that was caught red-handed to continue in ITS tournament I will be forced to conclude that this isn't the place for me. I'm not trying to forcefully get a team banned so that we can win the tournament. We are most likely going to lose to League5 or Proverb just as badly as we'd lose to Team Clasik. The difference is Proverb and 5 didn't cheat. I have a moral issue with playing vs a known cheater. I said I was done posting in this thread BUT YOU KEEP DRAGGING ME BACK![/quote]

[quote=sirell]Personally, I don't want Lasty and Throat to leave MF. They've contributed quite a lot. Nor do I think that their request is unreasonable. They scouted out a team who features both a challenger and a pro player (one of which hasn't actually been asked to leave their roster, incidentally). They asked for a DQ on the grounds that the team had by all mean broken the rules. Also nothing unreasonable about that. Regardless of the motives behind what they are doing, they have a legitimate complaint.[/quote]

[quote=C4 Lasty][quote=sirell] [quote=Usurp]However, those members names in the community cups that you may not recognize are in fact still very active on the site and MOBAFire community as a whole.[/quote] Just looked at the top 10 or so registered teams. With the exception of Lasty and Throat, there are exactly two people with a post count of above 5. This is not 'active'. [/quote] New favorite post ever.[/quote]
