Time was running out, so I had to rush. Thanks for the game!

As I said in a private message to FTS, I confirm the game if he is added to the list of tournament participants.

Got to my computer, so I'm now responding regarding the substitutions. What's the difference between the substitutions Bishop made and Cobra's substitution? Diabler. Bishop chose the very first player from the second group and selected Diabler (the strongest in his opinion). Unfortunately, Diabler is currently in the hospital after an operation, so he cannot continue the tournament, even if he wants to. And before the New Year, he was actively trying to play against his opponents. I believe replacing Diabler with Joker is adequate and equivalent. SP_SkyLine. Back in early November, Bishop wrote that SkyLine had disappeared and wasn't showing up on the forum or in ICQ. In early December, he appeared, said he would finish everything, but on December 17th (his last visit to the forum), he disappeared again and hasn't shown up since. He also didn't play a single game in his group in "Favorites," meaning he really disappeared. I also think replacing him with Bowser is quite reasonable. So, both substitutions weren't made because things were going well; they were made out of necessity. Regarding Cobra's situation. Yesterday, Cobra messaged me on ICQ, saying that Identity wasn't responding at all and that a replacement was needed, and he had found Vanya. I didn't respond immediately because I was playing a tournament with Graf Bananov. And I needed to weigh everything. It turns out Identity didn't disappear anywhere; he's actually playing, and he's even playing in "Favorites." Moreover, they were trying to play against JustObserver and had even drafted templates (meaning the game had practically started). In fact, he didn't disappear and is playing. This substitution looks like an attempt to replace a player (who showed a weak result) with a stronger one to win the last matches and, at the same time, strengthen the team's lineup in the playoffs. The substitution is not forced, so I cannot allow it. I'm not even going to mention that replacing a player who scored 0 points with a top player and winner of many tournaments looks like disrespect towards the other teams. If it were a classic team-based tournament where lineups are assembled initially, it would be a completely different conversation, but here we're playing a tournament where weak and strong players are combined in one team, and the weaknesses of some are compensated for by the strengths of others, which means the substitutions should be commensurate. P.S. Perhaps I was wrong to allow the substitution for Bishop's team, but there the substitutions were forced and equal. In Cobra's case, it's just blatant manipulation, which is disgusting. P.P.S.: It's also possible that I'm not objective because I'm somewhat of an interested party. I would like to hear the opinions of other organizers/judges on this issue (preferably on ICQ)

Identity won 1 game, and his so-called weakness, which we are talking about, is largely due to the fact that there are strong participants from the 2nd seed in group A. The option of a replacement is related to the fact that there was a post about technical issues after the 18th, and Identity does not respond to messages on ICQ. I also believe that Identity has the right to continue playing, but I want to hear a decision on how we proceed in this case (there are unfinished matches not only in our group). It is far from certain that we will win all the remaining matches, that's one. Being eliminated from the tournament due to technical issues is unpleasant, that's two. The option proposed by Palach seems optimal in this case, namely - a draw with empty slots, that's three. Extending the group stage by a week with odd-even assignments, that's four. And, if possible, the organizers should compile a list of participants for replacements, to avoid such situations, that's five. And I am also waiting for Roger's decision.

I demand an immediate unban for Jurist and his return to the third bracket!!!

The game was a long time ago, and the opponent didn't post the victory. One interested participant asked me to write a report.

It was a fun game; in the end, AA + Legion statue turned out to be stronger than Cursed Armor and Red Orb. Thanks for the game.

The first round, with 3 consecutive losses bringing the score to 124, decided the game, and Gosh played a significant role as well. Thanks for the game.

I think replacing Diablero with Joker is a fair and equivalent change.

Is this serious? Joker's result in Season 28 is 28 wins and 3 losses. In the second crusade, it's 5 wins and 0 losses.
Maretti's result in Season is 17 wins and 3 losses. In the second crusade, it's 3 wins and 2 losses. What kind of trash tier are you talking about for Joker?

Second round. I don't remember who my opponent was playing, but I had a fun setup with a Shaktis with one stack and no artifacts, but with good upgrades, which allowed me to defend against the Knight Vindicator at the beginning of the second week. From the overview, wings were visible, which my opponent successfully defended but didn't manage to pick up, and I jumped in and grabbed them :smile44:. After that, he conceded. Thanks for the game.

Is this serious? Joker has 28 wins and 3 losses in the seasonal league. In the second cross-league, he has 5 wins and 0 losses.
Moretti has 17 wins and 3 losses in the seasonal league. In the second cross-league, he has 3 wins and 2 losses. What tier is Joker in, excuse me?

It's quite serious. Diabler is a strong player, and at the moment, I consider him stronger than Joker. Bishop had the first pick from the second tier, so he has the right to expect a strong player.

Hmm...
Can we ask the judges if the deadline will be extended, and if so, for what reasons? 4 months is given for 8 games, in my opinion, that's more than enough! And what will happen to the unplayed/unfinished matches?

If the bracket isn't released today or tomorrow, I'm withdrawing the team from the tournament.

If the draw doesn't appear today or tomorrow, I'm withdrawing the team from the tournament.

Ban him in disgrace!!!

Ban him in disgrace!!!

Why? The person expressed their opinion. I generally agree with this opinion; there's no need to extend the deadlines to accommodate someone, so that a specific person can participate. 4 months is enough to play 8 games. And many have even played 5-6 games because their partners won without them.

What prevents us from conducting a draw and creating a bracket as the administrator suggests, for example: A1 - C2 D1 - B2 C1 - A2 B1 - D2 The top 2 teams from groups where the outcome is clear can start their 1/4 matches, and for the rest, an ODD (one-day delay) can be scheduled for the following week, with the following week included in the time frame given for the first match of the quarter-finals. If the ODD is ignored, the team will be disqualified. The uncertainty in the schedule of group matches is largely due to the fact that players contact their opponents themselves, and there are no time limits for a single game in the group. If the bracket was initially created as, for example, in Facebook, it would be easier to record the results after each round. As it is, we need to be understanding and, first of all, in the group where there were substitutions.

I was just kidding, but in general, this year every tournament seems to end in a dispute, and that’s not a good thing.
