Regarding the IXL and ToR match

The issues at play where

a) The team captain did not show and a replacement captain was not given to either ToR or myself until just before the walkover time
b) The team captain was alleged to be BM to members of ToR on multiple occasions
c) IXL player LateBloomer was sent out as instead of his approved league race of . LateBloomer managed to higher then finish as in the past so this could be seen as an attempt to play a higher league player.

After talking to both captains and reviewing evidence the following decisions have been made:

• The match between ToR and IXL will be abandoned and treated like it did not occur
• IXL have been given an official warning for the incident, the next will result in forfeit
• IXLDrown is not permitted to play or lead IXL for the remainder of the tournament

This decision was made due to several factors:

There was no attempt by IXLDrown to apologise for his actions towards the ToR captain or their players
There was no apology given on behalf of IXL to Suipr and the ToR team
BM is not acceptable and is definitely intolerable from a captain (even if they are a stand in)

As a note all players must play as the races their ladder ranks indicate or they were signed up as. If you wish to play as a different race you must get that approved by myself.

This means that the bracket is how Group A will finish:

1st - FaDe - 2 wins
2nd - ToR - 1 win (even map score)
3rd - TCP - 1 win (-1 map score, 12 map wins)
4th - IXL - 1 win (-1 map score, 7 map wins)

If anyone wishes to discuss the decision or anything around it, feel free to PM me, but I consider the matter now closed.

Semi finals are tomorrow. Best of luck everyone!

Regarding this incident I just want to officially apologise on behalf of myself as clan leader as well on behalf of the clan Ninth Legion for the events that have taken place. I owe FSBenAD a big apology for wasting his time and this event ever taking place, as well as Suipr (AsylumofSouls), ToRVenom and any others involved for anything that was said to them. It was unacceptable in any manner for an acting staff member of the legion to act as Drown did, and any acting likewise in future will be dealt with severely. It's unfortunate that the very identity our clan has worked so hard to build up to avoid is what we're being seen as with a single incident, and myself as well as the other members feel very strongly about good sportsmanship in play and nothing but the utmost respect for our competitors. I hope we can move past this and prove in future that we in fact pride ourselves on a warm, friendly team atmosphere and friendly manner, such as any true sportsman should be.

Thanks again to Suipr of ToR for being so good about the whole thing.

Quick Comments

	FSBenAD:	Thankyou
	AsylumofSouls:	Thankyou IXLives. This apology re-gains enormous respect from us at ToR. All the best.
