COD Championship 2014 Qualifier Drama

[Cicero]

Anyone follow this story? Haven't seen it posted on here yet?

Team Rize wins the SA qualifiers with two UK players, and gets to UK host for 2 of the games too, lol!

I'm kinda in two minds, part of me wants to side with our fellow SA guys saying this is BS, then again, it was only 2/5 games...that means those UK dudes had to deal with SA host for 3/5 games.

The UK dudes shouldn't be competing in an SA tourney though. Or change hosts to the hosting country.

That's like me hosting a US championship in Jozi. Not going fly.

Exactly, here's a pretty good writeup of the whole balls up.

But the power of internet, we can have tournaments anywhere in the world now from the comfort of our toilets.

Erm, ok then.

I was on the fence here with this, but actually its bullshit and the rules need to change. Its made the whole 2014 "SA team" a joke.

Pathetic but these kind of ballsups are part and parcel of the 'scene' so put up with it because it aint changing or shut up or /uninstall

What bullshit is this?

How much of a retard do you have to be to become a MLG referee?

Playing a LOCAL tournament, with great local teams and then these douchbags from Rize (or whatever their called) come in with two UK based players.

And then to top it off, one of the best COD clans in SA lose to them because the match is hosted in the UK. Why was it allowed in the first place? I'm sure that these people could read SOUTH AFRICAN tournament, meaning LOCAL game!!!!

That was a complete joke and a disgrace for MLG and that stupid Rize clan. May they get their rears handed to them in the tournament on day one. They don't deserve this opportunity.

Unfortunately its still all within the rules, technically Rize haven't done anything wrong. The actual ruleset needs to be looked into.

I know that they didn't do anything that's technically against the rules, but I would honestly be so ashamed if I were them.
