ESL PGL Playoffs with many controversies


As we reported in former newsposts the ESL PGL Qualifier Final was held just the recent days and 24 players were put into four groups with six players each and the top two advancing to the final round. Everyone was hoping for a nice tournament in mannered atmosphere and good results but Ukraine Fraer and Russia Bruce were accused of cheating. According to United States Cocoa, who had good chances of advancing from his group, Fraer and Bruce reported a fake result to let Fraer advance and avoid a tie-breaker. After many discussions and ESL StarCraft admin Italy DaL trying to solve the problems with Fraer, Bruce and Cocoa, the head administrator of ESL StarCraft Germany CRTMN took over and it ended up in ESL banning their own admin from the tournament and deleting forumposts of DaL. CRTMN now was in charge of the tournament without any other admin supporting him and solved everything solely.

Draco, Iefnaij, Idra and Advokate to PGL China


Eventually Fraer advanced from the groupstage but got beaten in the Playoffs. Many rumors occured, the real ID of Poland NewFace15 (Draco) was unknown to many for long time and many were still upset because of the actions that took place. Idra had to wait some time until Draco showed up and due to Draco losing his connection several times games had to be re-played and players had to wait. Players accuse ESL and their admins not showing sympathy for the players. According to them the admins made several 'unlucky' decisions and can be blamed at least partially for the progress of the tournament. Whether this is true or not may remain unknown.

Bottom line is that Russia Advokate, Canada Iefnaij, United States Idra and Poland Draco secured their tickets to PGL Final in China. Further information can be found below. The community is now hoping that ESL eventually learns from their mistakes and is able to avoid those happenings in further events. Time will tell if they are able to do so.
