EG Disqualified from ESWC

[ryuuboruzz]

Half these teams will be Dq'd anyways because all players have to be 18 or older to play in Paris lul. So auto Dq at the Lan in Seattle if you're not 18 or older.

[inphiNity]

pretty sure most players on top teams are 18 or older

[ryuuboruzz]

Let's hope so, so no teams get dq'd =) <3 frankie

Pretty sure you only need like 3 players from your roster that won the spot or some shit.

So I have no clue what the reasoning behind the rule is, but it's not necessarily a "shit rule" (could be for legal or enforcement reasons, for example). Sucks for EG, though, I guess.

tbh isnt the normal rule that wherever 3/5 of the team is from is where they are considered?

not sure but thats how its always been i thought

[Legato]

"normal rule" for what

[GreyPowerVan]

"normal rule" for what

well honestly if 3/5 of the players are NA as far as I know the team has been considered NA.

then again i never really paid attention to that until I saw this news post so i may be remembering incorrectly

I'm not quite sure, but aren't the finals of these qualifiers on LAN? ESWC said they will pay for ALL flights and stuff. So I'm guessing this whole no international player rule makes it easier on their part to send players to the lan final.

I meant

considered NA by whom

'cause there has never been a widely accepted standard (at least on the part of tournament organizers) afaik

but why is that necessary? eg has shown it's always willing to fly its players to lans they've qualified for

[Mahashivatri]

Rules have changed? I remember a fear-azen-puppey team on ESWC 2010.

[GranDGranT]

That had korok and demon aswell making it 3/5 americans like it will be in the finals.

[asrmatt]

think eg already knew yesterday

[GoSuMali]

I think this is a stupid rule. At first, I agreed but after reading Cody's post, I realized that it was stupid. Why would EG play with a full North American line-up (with a standin) while the invited teams will have their original line-up at the main event? I would be pretty pissed...
