Don't think we can do that, we have a strict schedule with scrims/etf2l/ugc/wireplay/6v6, I can ask the team though]]></description>

"Once is a mistake. Twice is a habit." They made one mistake. Maybe we should see how the rest of their season goes before passing judgement on them?]]></description>

		<blockquote>[...]

They just lost 6-0 to sBooB</blockquote>

Our loss didn't come from not being dedicated. We had 2 teams cancel scrims with us on Saturday (both Euro), which forced us to have to have one makeshift scrim without our medic. We had some technical issues and miscommunications at the start of our Official which threw us all off our game and we never recovered from it (HIGA also always loses GPit and only GPit - I don't know why). It was just one of those games; every team has them. I'm not trying to take away from sBoob, though. They played really well and deserved the win.

What happened with ET (the other American team) today was regrettable, but the circumstances are a little more complicated than it appears at first glance. They have low morale given their last few losses coupled with losing their chance at the UGC title a few days ago, and so fewer players than normal were online for them today. Their leader waited longer than he should have for people to come online, and, as a result, when he went to wildcard the match 20 minutes before it started and found that Steam wouldn't let him log in, there was little for him to do (he thought) than to ask for a forfeit once he had run out of time. He didn't know that going into IRC for an admin might have made a difference, but that was an honest mistake. He did try and he did reach out to Chessclub to apologize. What happened with ET does not stem from a lack of dedication or respect for the league, but inexperience in dealing with it.]]></description>

"Every team with less than 9 players by Monday 3rd March may get replaced. Please make sure you have enough players in your roster by this time."

No one's fault, just a shame that they didn't get replaced. My guess is there wasn't a team on the waiting list for that division.]]></description>
