SK, Team X disqualified from ELEAGUE

6-7-2016 20:13

SK Gaming and Team X have both been disqualified from ELEAGUE due to roster changes, the tournament's commissioner Min-Sik Ko has revealed.

The Brazilian team had secured a berth in the quarter-finals after topping Group A while still at Luminosity, whereas the Danish team were due to play in the last-chance bracket after finishing in second place in Group C while representing SK.

ELEAGUE has not yet formally commented on this matter, but the tournament's commissioner, Min-Sik Ko, explained that the Brazilian players' recent move to SK Gaming and the Danish team's departure from the German organisation "do not comply" with the league's rules.

The reason for this is that neither SK nor Luminosity can field the roster that they submitted at the start of the season, which means that the league's spots belong to organisations and not to the competing teams.

Brazilians handed heavy blow

On May 31, Min-Sik Ko publicly stated that "there were no plans to sanction either team", but he was merely referring to the contract dispute between SK and Luminosity that had been reported days earlier.

SK Gaming captain Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo took to Twitter to express his shock at the decision, which, in his eyes, punishes his team for seeking better conditions.

First time in Counter Strike players are been punished for getting better and evolving professional-wise. Out of e league due to change org.
— Gabriel FalleN T. (@LG_FalleN) 6 July 2016

One day we will have players fighting for our rights. A players union shall in reality exist. Players lost a lot today.
— Gabriel FalleN T. (@LG_FalleN) 6 July 2016

Those sentiments were echoed by Team X member Michael "⁠Friis⁠" Jørgensen, who claims that his team were "ignored" by ELEAGUE officials during the process.

Not enough other leagues are treating us like shit after our contract ran out. But ignoring me during the whole situation here is so ......
— Michael Jørgensen (@OfficialFriis) 6 July 2016

Cloud9 have been moved from the last-chance bracket straight to the playoffs as a result of this decision, with Renegades and Gambit Gaming having both earned spots in the last-chance bracket, which now looks as follows:

Renegades	vs.	FlipSid3
Gambit	vs.	Virtus.pro

G2	vs.	MOUZ
FaZe	vs.	CLG

The top two teams from the last-chance qualifier, which will run from July 12-15, will secure spots in the single-elimination playoffs, joining the following six teams:

Ninjas in Pyjamas	Astralis	fnatic
Natus Vincere	Envy	Cloud9

Luminosity & SK Gaming are no longer eligible to compete in our first season due to roster changes that do not comply with @EL rules
— Min-Sik Ko (@minsikko) 6 July 2016

*UPDATE* The article has been updated to give more context to Min-Sik Ko's May 31 tweet, which merely referred to the reported contract dispute between SK and Luminosity. At the time, the ELEAGUE official stated that there were no plans to sanction either team, but the Brazilian team would only sign for SK on July 1.

Well It's not necesairly a bad rule. They want the orgs because of the brand not because of the players. Also a rule like this can prevent a team that lost in groups to buy a better team that passed in groups.

SK DQ happened because SK had another team in Eleague that lost in their group. Now they get another team that passed their group and get free spot in play offs on fucking television. Org holds spot, not players that's how this league works. If players held spot, each team would start going to better paying orgs if they passed to play offs. And these orgs will pay a lot of money just to be on national television. See the problem? And LG got DQ because more than 3/5 of their roster left Don't be mad, sk will be back for s2.

2016-07-07 04:24

Why? For enforcing a rule? Sure, it was a shitty one but it's still a rule. Why shouldn't they enforce it? Besides, they need C9 for the viewers xD

Ye they're retards the only league that make a rule for change orgs, also they said it was because the roster change Team X: added 2 players ; less than 50% of the team Sk: only changed the org

yeah, "they lied to us and forced us to join" turned into "getting better and evolving" lmao

This is obvious, you will always follow your favorite team, that doesnt mean that you wont watch other games, but i wont chance my routine just to watch some shit team that is playing, if i am on the computer with free time, i watch it, of course. I just said, that by taking this decision, they will probably loose a big audience from sk fans.

2016-07-06 20:29

This may be, bar none, one of the worst rulings I've seen in this game. They changed organizations, which is NOT the same as changing your lineup. How that can be construed as such is, frankly, mind-boggling. Locking a team into organizational restraints means that teams can end up being taken advantage of if they want to stay in the league. It's one thing to keep player swaps to a minimum, but as we've seen throughout CS history, organizations can do some really sketchy shit. This is penalizing the players, completely.

2016-07-06 20:55

I was referring primarily to the Luminosity/SK thing. Team X's decision to change their roster is a completely different issue entirely, and I'm entirely okay with them being disqualified.

why are you ok with them bein disqualified?

2016-07-06 21:15

I'm okay with Team X being removed from the league if they changed 3 players. As noted above, they only changed 2. Though I'm still not sure how I feel about that, realistically 2 people is still a lot after a big qualification.

finally someone showing some common sense on this thread +1

2016-07-06 21:04

But on the other hand would it be better for players jumping ship also, taking the league spot with them? This could lead to some issues too. It's why you put a contract in place, which they both signed after having lawyers review. In SK/LG situation, they could of easily came to a better decision of allowing LG to stay LG until league contracts ended. But they did not and know they have breached a contract. Just like the one's LG signed if they would have not played for SK at some point. Hate ELeague all you want, but it's the organizations of SK/LG, lawyers and players fault for not adhering to their contract.

The reality is that the PLAYERS earned the spot in the league, NOT the organization. How players handle their relationships with organizations should NOT be dictated by any league, because it isn't in the best interest of the players. What you're not understanding is that in a situation like this, it gives an organization the leverage to take advantage of their players, especially when those players might be attempting to find better representation. It's essentially an open invitation to black mail, where an organization can force a team to stay within their ranks until they finish a league. This is NOT OKAY in ANY sense. Period. It's not about if SK/LG didn't understand, and it's not really about how messy their situation was leading up to the transfer. It's about what's healthy for the scene and the players, and neither of these things are a reality when players lose freedom over their own working conditions.

ok, ill copy and paste what i posted earlier on the situation --------------------------------------- i don't work for eleague, therefore i can't tell you what rules they broke... BUT, this is in the official ruleset for eleague: Please note that the Commissioner and any designated tournament officials have the authority to make final decisions that are not specifically delineated in these rule and regulations to preserve fair play and sportsmanship in the Commissioner’s sole discretion. so the decision is justified by the rules. also, this is in the rules: Before the start of a tournament, each team must clarify with relevant tournament officials whether their payments are going to their organization or directly to the players SK and LG probably made the decision that the payments were to go to the organization rather than the players, and that is why they are disqualified, because now that the orgs are fucked up, where is the money gonna go? before SK went behind LG's back and signed another contract, maybe they should've consulted LG, their previous org, or read the rules thoroughly, before they decided to sign another contract. it's their fault.

Are you mad, bro? Cause I'm not. Talking specifically about contracts. The problems that emerged between contracts is only between the two orgs. From ELEAGUE's point of view the drama that happened doesn't matter. So, fuck ups that may happened don't change anything on this case. LG contract expired and they went under a new contract with SK. That's simple as it gets. The same for Team X: their contract expired and didn't get renewed. Both regular moves. And both rosters are getting kicked for that. It's just insane.

2016-07-06 22:23

I have to agree with ELeague's decision. They are trying to market the game to the masses that do not follow the CS scene closely. Having LG and SK swap rosters would mind fuck the typical audience they are trying to reach. Honestly this could all be avoided if CS orgs/players/tournament host agreed on an off season. It doesn't even have to be that long maybe 1-2 weeks. And this is the time when contract negotiation and team changes come into affect. This way this event does not occur again.

Elegue rules make clear distinction between teams (group of players) and organizations. "Before the start of a tournament, each team must clarify with relevant tournament officials whether their payments are going to their organization or directly to the players" "14. All teams must submit their five (5) man roster, including two (2) subs, by May 18th, 5:00pm EST to chase. hammet@img.com. 15. Teams will be allowed to use a sub to replace another player twice per season, but replacements must be declared before plane tickets are issued. 16. Team rosters must be complete before plane tickets are issued. If a team decides to change the roster after travel arrangements have been issued, any additional costs must be covered by the respective team."

Fucking C9 and CLG! I'm not a brazilian fan crying because "my team" was ruled out of the camp, trust me. Im so mad because this was more than a "ruled out" thing... (sorry for bad english)

I think its the right move by the E-League officials. Its like in any other professional sports. Its the organization the spot belongs to. I mean think of it in professional football or soccer. A club which reaches the playoffs, for example in Champions League or similar tournaments, remains the spot no matter what transfers say, even if a club buys a whole team (unlikely but you know what i mean)

Didn't the team Without A Roof change orgs and become Kaliber during ECS (correct me if I'm wrong)? ECS is similar to ELeague as it takes place over multiple weeks. These players weren't penalized (beyond their poor play) and continued to play. Org and roster swaps happen. If an event happens over several weeks, changes should be expected.

With the drama the roster change caused and the fact that SK is the number 1 team in the world, most CS watchers understand what happened. ELeague was made to bring awareness to eSports and attract a new audience. While most viewers will watch more than ELeague, there is a new audience that only watch ELeague on TBS. ELeague is being branded as a sport like the NBA or NFL. I don't think it should be treated this way, because CS is much different.

esports will NEVER work in a pro league model like the major sports leagues. In baseball, football, soccer, basketball, track, etc.. The sport never changes. Makes longevity much easier to attain. In esports, the sport being played is constantly changing. Whether it be updates or new games in general. Causing longevity issues. Hurting the player pool and audience numbers. Which is obviously, terrible. And thats not even mentioning the average age of pro/invite level players. Low maturity levels, roster churning, etc. The meta of esports in NA is that gaming is for kids or in your off time. There are so many other established opportunities for young men to make a living. esports is just a hobby here in NA. It will be 20+ years before we see a well established, well run esports league. Until then, we get to see a bunch of leagues start and fail.

+1 I love the idea of having eSports on TV. I wish that one day, a whole LAN tournament can get broadcast time. But I don't want to see it broadcasted as a sport. Major sports leagues have one season a year, and all those games are played in that season with a playoffs and championship. CS has multiple different tournaments and "seasons" (EPL and ECS). CS in itself can't be turned into a sport because the pro scene is huge, so I think it's stupid to have one single tournament attempt to brand it as one.

2016-07-07 05:20

Just comment in the e-League Facebook what you guys thinks. Bad publicity is nightmare for the producers. If there's nothing in the rules they shouldn't be banned at all. The ex-SK situation is even worse...

And how i said what Fallen supposed to do different? He already signed the contract with SK before the team being invited to Eleague. And it was a public act because the fight between LG and SK so the organization was noticed in all internet/community/esport site. Eleague can't argue about not knowing the new sk line up. And to correct myself, i mean Selfless and C9. I'm with flipsid3 in my mind because tomorow.

It is up for interpretation, and perhaps it should have been more clear. I don't disagree with that. But the fact of the matter is that it was interpreted that way. That isn't a point of contention. The important part is this: If they were aware of the rules(which if they were smart, they would be, this is their life work), then once again, this would never been an issue had Fallen and co made arrangements with either ELEAGUE or their org to make it so they could keep playing. That is their responsibility, not the responsibility of the league.

Update: According to an ELeague spokesperson, "The decision to replace Luminosity and SK Gaming was solely based on the violation of league rules and the agreements in place with all competing teams that were established prior to our first season." It has been updated in response to that article. LG and SK knew the circumstances of what could happen, since they did sign the contracts with ELeague. They should of factored this in before coming to the decision that LG should play under SK. A good solution would be to play out any outstanding leagues before transferring to exhaust all contractual obligations to said league. Something their lawyers should of made them aware of.

according to that article the petition accuses eleague for wanting to sanction only luminosity organization initially. if that's indeed the case, the update is merely damage control and doesn't make sense otherwise. why would the NA orgs make such a petition in the first place if the verdict would remain the same and favorable to them? how could they play out any outstanding leagues before transferring when the contract with lg ran out on the first of july if you don't account the LOI. logically speaking the best solution would be to never apply to eleague since it doesn't allow changing organizations, and the best solution for ex-sk would be... well nothing. they had 0 control over the situation. i don't want to repeat what i already said about the ruling, it is outrageous and has no place in the current scene. read my previous comments if you want a better explanation why. the point i made in #753 is that the petition bit is very important and should be brought to the public's awareness.

If it is rules, why do they need the petition? contradictory, of course it was an intrigue. We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL!

Now we are the worst community in history, only because 5 or 6 guys like to provoke when cheer. Well, in other scenes i already saw the community doing swatts. Nice balance to judge community. Real life threats against internet trashtalk.

2016-07-07 06:27

GJ much respect to Mr Min Sik Ko for not letting his old ties with SK Gaming interfere with official rules. This is what is needed in e-sports. The monkeys from Brazil got money hungry and ran to SK Gaming but rules are rules. Deal with it monkeys!

And many other professional players and caster told that LG / SK was banned unfairly and should continue in the league, but these assholes children in hltv.org still argue that ELEAGUE are right, will you fail to realize that was a clear sanction putting orgs in front of players, it happened to ex-LG / ex-SK, but it could have happened to any other team world, including what you like, stop being hypocrites, it was a play behind the scenes, an affront to the rights of players... Do you realize how this world is lost when you see young people who are the future of tomorrow, support a wrong cause, because simply do not like the involved Another detail is that people have forgotten the scandal of invites for this championship? And they have delayed that still defend the company ...

Indeed, this decision will hurt there reputation, as well as cost them respect to many. Two teams who are top contenders who do not have any intentions of hurting e-league legally. Rules must be reformed. A roster change would make more sense than an org change. I can assume their contract was poorly written and did not include the words, 'current organization' and probably specified it had to be the org they started with, in some way.
