Yes, it has been a shame that the Pakistani teams were disqualified. For anyone who has not already read, here is Vampire.exe's official statement about the situation:
Due to the recent events of host issues the admins have decided to remove Pakistan from SAKT. Also as SAKT winners will be playing ADC tournament, only Asian Hosts will be used which will cause a lot of problem for Pakistan as well as ADC tournament. And we don't want situations to come up again which would create problems to everyone.
This is a very upsetting solution we ourselves avoided to append, but any other solution ain't possible. As all the future Asian Tournaments would be played on Asian hosts only.

GosuGamers has nothing more to say about the situation. The decision is Garena's own.
Shadowplay will be playing Team Err0R on June 14.
GosuBet
CoB vs Team Bangladesh is still to be scheduled.
In addition to all this, GosuGamers had the chance to sit down with Sn4k3y, leader of Shadowplay and resident GosuCrew replay addict, to talk about SAKT.
