Stiky decided that it wouldn't be right to leave you without a match and immediately put you against Maretti, especially considering your role in banning Rebellius. You would look funny.
But now you look funny, having lost to him and still advancing :)
Think about it, if Reba is removed from the tournament in a match against me without playing, then my Walkthrough to Maretti, even considering active participation in analyzing saves, will look less contradictory than your Walkthrough to me after a clean loss in a match against Reba. In other words, advancing without a fight is less critical than advancing after a loss. This is my opinion.
I believe that according to the point
"if Rebellius is to be reinstated, then our match in the semi-finals should be counted, i.e., my two victories should be credited to Rebellius's score."
I haven't heard of such a thing in any sport.
Our score in a specific match is just our score. And it will definitely remain so if the tournament bracket remains as it is now.
I was playing in his place.
This is usually announced. Or is it like in soccer, where a player who receives a red card is removed from the field and misses the next match :D
Put him directly against Maretti, and you in the lower bracket.
You wouldn't want your ill-wishers to think that you're looking for a second chance and need a victory at any cost, would you?))))) So to speak, you want to get a guaranteed rest in the bracket of pits...
Considering the Chinese issue. Again, not "ban!", but first think. And listen to all opinions, and find out his explanations.
It would be very nice if someone would take this on.
I watched 2 matches, with Gomunguls on Castle and Deep Mike on Balance, and I am ready to refute most of the claims made on the forum with arguments. But I'm already afraid to speak out, as he is my potential opponent in the lower bracket :D
