In a tournament in the Philippines, a team got disqualified due to emote use, note that the emote was automatic due to the first blood.

That is an absolute bullshit arguement.
Any team worth anything would play the game and actually figure out who is the better team.
Greed is not skill.
That makes no sense at all in a tournament where prize money is involved - would you not just decide to proceed and go to the next round?
This isn’t about being the better team? It’s about winning?
I mean we’re on the same page here - I definitely don’t think that they should have been disqualified, but if I were given the choice then the answer seems pretty clear.

No? That is just absolutely disrespectful to the hard work of everyone involved.
What point was there for the other team to work so hard to get there, if we can cheese our way into an advantage in such a way?
What point is there for my own team to work so hard to get to that point if we can just figure out assinine ways to squeak out wins?

People who think like this shouldn't be competing, this isn't about winning, this is about figuring out who is the best at the game and rewarding them for it.
Participating in a tournament is agreeing to subject yourself to the rules - failing to comply isn’t disrespectful towards teams that do comply?
If your opponent squeaks out a win on you because you couldn’t follow the rules, and are given the option to have you disqualified, are you going to complain that you weren’t able to play, instead of y’know, adhering to rules you subject yourself to in the first place? One of the agreements made when joining a tournament is that you’ve fully read and understood the rules.
You’re framing it in a way that there was somehow planning on one part to have the other team disqualified? They were completely prepared to play the game - but were offered a free win instead BY THE MARSHAL. What’s wrong with taking it?
The game marshal was supposed to turn off the auto emotes. It's not the teams fault that the computers weren't set up correctly. Taking a free win because of a mistake made by the organizers is pretty scummy.
That’s false. These are games played fully online. Players were instructed to disable emotes on their accounts manually (including automatic emotes).
I'm pretty sure the organizers can shut it off in the stream, but I guess that doesn't deal with the players getting tilted "issue."
They can, and they should if it’s that much of a concern, but they did include it in the ruleset that it’s the players responsibility.
i don't know why you are getting downvoted, lmao
ruleset says REQUIRED by the marshall not should be turned off by the marshall.
some people just can't read.
Lol no that's not true. Don't talk out of your ass like the other guy.
I’m literally one of the organizers for the mother tournament for this? I have a copy of the ruleset?
Send it over
Great tournie you got there 🤣
Not the TO for this specific offshoot, that’s why I indicated mother tournament.
Obviously had eyes on once we got wind of the issue.
I’ll upload it in a bit.
That's like Bezos saying has nothing to do with the Washington post because he runs Amazon
Unfortunately the reality of it is, is that although it’s nested under Liga Republika, we have 0 authority on it directly. No oversight or anything (whereas Bezos would be able to interfere)
If you have 0 authority and influence on it its not really a mother tournament is it.
I did no such framing, you are assuming things.
but were offered a free win instead BY THE MARSHAL. What’s wrong with taking it?
Because the point of the tournament is to figure out which team is the best at the game, taking a win in such a way undermines that concept and the spirit of competing.
