I have no much comment on the drama as I don't have all the keys to understand all what happened between both teams since that initial "forfeit taken".
But since the first post of Mafia this point intrigues me. If this is true, it seems to me that this would be serious enough to have an answer. Why would Infi has 5 players available and only shows the best 4 of them ?
Roz, instead of being mean to Xeria, could you gives us an explanation ?
I think i need to step in just to clarify that point.
In the SEACC thread the format was indicated as Bo7. xG proposed it to be Bo9 because it's better for the show (thing that i agree). However, inFi being in final also has their right to give their opinion. The fact that they don't want the final to be Bo9 is 100% legit. It was not written in the thread that final would be Bo9 so why would we change the format after competition started.
I believe the majority wanted Bo9, however, if it's not stated in the thread it's not fair to change rules half-way. The exact same thing happened when i wanted to put play-offs after week 4 and xG was the only team to refuse claiming it was not fair for them as the thread was stating no play-offs for all league (fair point once again).
We can change rules/format half-way only if all parties agree, which was clearly not the case for the format final and the play-offs.
So in terms of fairness, the final of SEACC had to be Bo7. I don't want further polemics on that particular point.
