The outcome of this game determined whether the team of 5 would advance to the semi-finals. The teams were tied 1-1, and the decisive third match ended in a 2-2 draw. Is it really acceptable to penalize someone for such a violation in such an important game?

Firstly, the decisive game was the one that followed. Secondly, why should the application of the rules depend on whether it's a decisive game or not? The fact that the rules don't specify any gradation of punishment for violations, only technical penalties, is also a problem that has been discussed for a long time, including by me. As a result, we have what we have.

I'm always amused by how everyone gets so righteously indignant when these situations arise, but where were you all before? If you agreed to play by the current rules, then both parties agreed to them, so what's the point of waving your fists after the game? Decisions on these seemingly insignificant rematches have been made repeatedly (in "One for All" it's practically a tradition). Each time, there was an uproar, and then the rematch on xl+u was cancelled. In the previous "OzV," there was an absolutely similar situation on Diamond in the Browser vs. battanas match. Why weren't the rules changed back then? I'm not even mentioning the fact that they promised to do it back in 2015.

Regarding the blue color on the minimap, the issue isn't about why it was chosen, but about the fact that if a rematch was allowed, there would have been a different choice or a different price. I think this is obvious.

I can't say anything about the rules of "One for All." The concept of "One for All" was introduced by someone who is no longer actively involved in the forum. Who should now be responsible for clarifying this is unknown. As an organizer, I would also benefit from a clear set of rules for "One for All."
