Group stage matches
Positionings (greyed out teams are disqualified)
@hat, if we are talking about following cl rules
(these correspond with each bold within the quote from top to bottom. i think)
Scarce evidence, isn't non existent evidence.
No matter if the matches were DQ'ed or not he still played them.
Because the matches did not count does not mean it was within the rules to play for two different clans.
Does not matter what time the rule breaking is discovered if it is discovered, and im sure that also includes after the cl was over already.
saying that its too late to make this type of ruling is like saying its too late to arrest a robber who was caught from video evidence after the fact.
Staff is for sure at part to blame and I am glad they take responsibility, but if you fellows knew he had played for a different clan already you should have gone with the safe route and not have let him play in the first place, considering you went out of your way to get more than one confirmation from ES means that you fellows knew it might be a risk. So a fault on both parts, even if ES or reta does take full responsibility...
but that's just my 2 cents

Going to basically only respond to Micah here and wait for a staff post, both because it's the only sort of response that exists and also because it's one of the good examples I can paste here that misses the point of the entire post.

Scarce evidence not being nonexistent is true, you have indeed grasped the definition. However, it isn't hard to see what I mean by that. Desolate received 0 points, and I found (as I said in my post) 2 posts, both incomplete regarding matches played. This creates a situation where the validity of the matches can be further taken into question, thus solidifying the point I was making. I won't explain any further I'm sure you get the idea now.
In regards to your second and third point, it is one of the examples where you miss the point.
I am not failing to acknowledge he played matches, as I mention it in my post. The matches were not counted, and so they have no effect on Clan League whatsoever. And because they have no effect on Clan League whatsoever I explain I find it odd that they are deciding to make a ruling that has a far bigger effect on the outcome of Clan League.
Which then segues into my next point, which you commented on in regards to the timing. First off, if you're insinuating that they would, after Clan League has been completed and the winner decided, then reset back to semi-finals to complete a few matches then re-do the entirety of finals because they found this kind of situation to be occurring, well, I'd have to say you might be wrong lol.
And if you wouldn't be wrong I'd have serious doubts whoever hosted that particular event would ever host such an event ever again. But anyways!
My point regarding it's too late has to do with "staff negligence" in several respects. Most notably on how they told us it was fine for Felnin to play for us, and then at the last possible second revoke that decision and make a rather large game changing ruling that could completely change the placements on the podium. Keep in mind, staff said it was completely fine for us to have Felnin play, so what is there to talk about?
Are you saying that if you asked staff about a rule you thought you might break by performing an action, they specifically say it's not against the rules, you perform said action, then a couple months later you log-on to notice you're banned, that it would be perfectly fine?
And then again in regards to your last point, saying we should have just ignored staffs previous ruling and just not had him play doesn't make any sense. So saying it's a fault on both parts is just plain incorrect and has no basis in fact.
I've noticed a few people make that last argument and mention we outta be DQ'd. Which again, why would Obey be DQ'd, for listening to staff on a ruling? It's almost like that is absolutely absurd and again, makes no sense.
I'd recommend not posting on this thread if you're unaware of the situation or unwilling to look into it enough to make a coherent post regarding it.
I'm just waiting for a staff response at this point.
