To be honest, the lack of notice given for the play offs is a problem. Also that its all going to be played in a night is really just asking for walk overs. -_-
This has been an on going thing for 8 weeks, every team rep was informed over and over and over about EVERY decision made, every game, every ruling.
The group stages ran over time because people kept rescheduling games. The thing you are all forgetting is I also have a life which I have to put on hold for this and when it has already run longer than scheduled I want to get it wrapped up asap.
I am once again disappointed that these "concerns" were never raised in the group chat, when I have made it quite clear that YOU NEED TO HAVE AN ACTIVE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE SKYPE CHAT; seriously.
I am sorry some of you have prior commitments, but I also have shit I want to do which I can't continue to delay. You only need 4 players, at most they will play 3 bo3s and perhaps ace. Some teams have 10+ people and you have had days to sort it out.
I am sorry if you feel this is a tough decision, but this has been incredibly draining on me and Panda, every week there has been teams cheating, lying, accusing others of cheating, bickering, bm, etc etc people not showing up, people not caring, people abusing the rules..
Next time make sure your teams leader is involved in the discussions with admins etc, if they aren't, volunteer yourself. All the skype details have been in the OP since day one and I have made multiple posts saying to please be more involved.. All teams knew play offs would follow round 7 and Friday is the day I am able to be there.
