There was enough discussion before the tournament about these rules and disqualifying now…???

Weren’t they able to check everything before actual qualifiers? Another organization mistake, along with the famous bo5.

Also, does this mean that CC will be attending, instead of TC, or are NA players winning automatically? If it’s later, I think it will destroy any kind of hope of this game becoming competitive enough, because of lack of promotion/money/ppl that actually follow this game. This will bring nothing good.

On the second day, yes.

First day, TP/TC played but CC didn’t.

Saturday TP/TC won their bracket, Sunday CC won theirs.

Then they competed for spot #1. It makes logical sense for CC to advance.
Otherwise we’re going to have to redo the whole bracket from where TP/TC started in order to give every team a fair chance – which is probably rather difficult.

It’s not an open race, it was a tournament format. If a player is ineligible all of their wins should be over turned. There potentially could have been someone who TC beat that could win against CC.

Ya I agree but then you’re asking them to redo a whole tournament bracket of minimum 8 teams. Ontop of that, the new winners have to then figure out their travel plans in 2.5 weeks, this includes getting the proper paperwork in order and having a lawyer look over it.

At this point in time, I don’t think its feasible, hence why CC gets to go.

Legal restrictions, but what’s more interesting is why they waited until now to disqualify them.

It wasn’t a big secret that some questioned how Xeph qualified prior to the tournament. It’s not possible that A-Net didn’t know this prior to the tournament.

Anyone who signed up for the qualifiers knows that mist league hosted them and not Anet. The extent of the qualifications to go to pax was the leader of the team clicking “I agree that all members of this team are above 18 and are in an eligible location—click to see list if eligible locations.”

While we were investigating the eligibility of TC, we did the same diligence for CC so that in case of an issue we had our backup plan in place. CC will be eligible and will be playing.

Seriously? It’s not Arenanets fault, if anything you should write to the UAE and complain.

This has nothing to do with the UAE, since we are allowed to compete outside our country, and we have done so in a lot of lan events in the states, its just that Arenanet hadn’t drawn up contracts for Asian countries.

Just to clarify this for anyone that is wondering what happened from our end I’ll go through some details. We contacted the tournament organiser (Mist League) before the tournament about Xeph being eligible to participate in the tournament and were given the green light by them. This was on the condition that he would be in Seattle and have his own accommodation paid for the duration of the event.

A few days after the qualification tournament we were contacted by ArenaNet saying that their lawyer had brought up some issues with Xeph participating and that he would not be eligible to go. We then made a rush to find a substitute player who had all the proper documentation within time; we succeeded in doing so and thought there would be no further issues.

Despite us confirming with the tournament organiser it wouldn’t be an issue; as well as finding a subsitute on short demand, we were later informed by ArenaNet we would not going to be going to PAX. This was on the condition that Car Crash could get all their documentation in on time. As can be seen by the announcement they succeeded in doing so and now have a place at PAX in favour of Curse.

Everyone on the team is obviously greatly disheartened by the outcome of these events, however Curse shall continue to be involved in the competitive Guild Wars 2 scene with a full roster.
