The rules (which you blatantly violated, by the way, by making a substitution without waiting for permission from the tournament organizers) are the rules, but there's also common sense. And I am guided by it in my judgments. I spent some time on the tournament, and I want the tournament to remain interesting, and not turn into a circus where everyone does whatever they want.

Fire? Joker? Are you guys crazy with such replacements??
Although, we should acknowledge Kober's modesty; he could have easily persuaded Alex to join his team.

So, according to you, the second tier is full of noobs who have no chance?

Where did you read that? In my opinion, both players I mentioned deserve to be in the top tier, and that's the point I'm trying to make.

In short, the situation in our group is that we need to win 3 out of the remaining 3 matches. The search for a solution began after Dirty wrote that he would give everyone technical wins after January 18th. I need to play 2 games before that date, so I naturally contacted Cobra to inquire about the situation with Identity, as Identity hadn't responded to me on ICQ since October 10th. I have a conversation with him – it's basically my monologue over 2 months. And since losing a player results in 2 points being deducted, we still wouldn't advance, so this issue needed to be resolved. I don't know the skill level of all the players, so I gave Cobra a list of 5 people we could ask; he contacted them himself because I had already played my match. Then I contacted Lucky George to post a report, asking Identity to confirm it, but there was no result. Cobra asked Just Observer about this situation with the last game, and he said that Identity hadn't started a match with him. We needed to act quickly, as Dirty's team is in our group, and he is interested. It would be much easier for him to give us technical wins and advance from the group, even though his team is 100% going through.
Find the best way out of this situation. Of course, I don't want to grind in 2 games for the best possible result and then lose because a player from my team doesn't care, and they'll give technical wins to him in his game. That's the situation, I leave it to your judgment.

I don't know how the judges will handle this whole circus.
But I'll try to describe something about the organization and, in fact, about the realities. The judge who created this tournament should be banned for two years. Everyone has problems in real life, but they could at least post an apology, but there's nothing. It's good that they changed the judges. They need to start dealing with the players in advance, what's the point of leaving everything to the last moment? Can't they replace someone earlier? You see that they're silent, they're kicked out, and that's it. Why drag it out? Everyone wants the continuation, not this mess, which is killing people's interest. The stronger the players, the more interesting it is for me, and for my team. I'm not against FTS, Alex, Bayazet, Pavkur, or anyone else. But if they had made these changes earlier, the guys would have played, and there wouldn't have been any delays. And now, half the forum will be arguing and getting dumber. And we won't get the draw. People will start going crazy - withdrawals, etc. This is just my personal opinion, and I give my approval to everything, I just don't know how the judges will do the draw for the next stage! Leave the slots empty for the teams that still have to qualify, and let the others play on. And for the future, judges, don't delay with the games. Three out of nine games weren't played by a certain deadline, he didn't get in touch - ban him, let him replace the player earlier. And those who drop out of the tournaments shouldn't be allowed to register for the next one.
Maybe it's a bit emotional, but that's how it is, we'll wait for Dirty.

Group A, Game 2
We couldn't agree on a time for a long time, played several rounds, and eventually, due to time constraints, we agreed on a draw.
