On a conversation, ASiT invited Mineski to replace MiTH's slot as MiTH is not responding about their invite.

The management and the team eagerly agreed to participate to the tournament, however, five days later, MiTH posted in their website that they have been invited as well. The management asked the organizers if Mineski and MiTH will both play since both parties agreed on their invites, but to our dismay the organizers said that even though MiTH was late in accepting the invite, they are still of higher priority in the team slots. They said that Mineski will only be prioritized IF MiTH renounces their invite.

"First of all. It is unfair because we have been looking foward to our participation in the ASIT and we have been preparing for it non-stop. The whole team is already practicing day in and day out for the tournament so we can show them what we are capable of.

We have already agreed when they've invited us. We have already confirmed our participation earlier than MiTH has. It is not our fault that MiTH was late on replying to the organizer's invite. Furthermore, the organizers failed to inform us that we were to serve only as back-up in case of MiTH's inability to perform.

We at Mineski just want a fair and professional contemplation over the issue. Our players are putting everything they have towards this tournament and it would be sad if they were deprived of their chance. We understand that there may have been a misunderstanding however we are hoping that the organizers do the right thing."
