EG drops the current squad picks up Fire you heard it here first peace

The last game we lost was a match versus Fire. They really impressed us! I respect them a lot from that moment. They played very carefully throughout and are good in terms of skill. We could do nothing against them.

Artstyle on Fire.

Oh snap.

Since this kind of bullshit seems to be happening pretty often now, my official statement:

TPL handled this poorly. They could have simply chalked this up to a "miscommunication" between EG and the tournament staff. It would have been the same result. Even if EG didn't follow correct procedures to withdraw from the tournament, TPL made a big deal out of this for no reason. For some reason they chose to directly target the teams.
"We all agree on the fact that EG is made of stars and talented players. But is that enough? We think that they clearly lack manners and professionalism."
Completely unnecessary.
Even their statement about FIRE could have been left out:
"The Premier League decided to replace EG by the team 'Fire' from the United States of America. Respect, motivation and professionalism are the three words associated to this team."

All they needed to say was "EG has withdrawn from the tournament and FIRE will replace them".

This is like PR 101.

we've already established that the organizers of most of these tournaments are 110% clueless

I don't know if I should be excited that I'm one of your references or horrified that my 'nym is in the same fragment as Hunter's.
