DreamHack comments on Immortals ruling

DreamHack has issued a statement about the decision to have Immortals forfeit the first map of the grand final in Montreal.

The DreamHack Open Montreal title decider began with North getting an automatic one-map lead due to three of Immortals' players failing to show up in time for the match.

With a quick 16-9 victory on Cobblestone, North were crowned champions, winning their first event since joining the organisation created by F.C. Copenhagen and Nordisk Film at the start of the year.

DreamHack sheds light on the Immortals incident

In a statement, DreamHack explained that the Brazilian team had been informed that the final would start one hour after the second semi-final, featuring North and CLG, had concluded, as part of the "accelerated scheduled which the entire tournament has been running on."

With the second semi-final ending after just two maps, DreamHack changed the starting time of final to 21:30 . Fifteen minutes past that time, Immortals still were not ready to play, forcing them to forfeit the first map of the final. The team was then given "an additional 15 minutes to be ready", with the second map starting only at 21:56 .

You can read DreamHack's statement below:

"The grand final of DreamHack ASTRO Open in Montreal was scheduled to start at 3:30PM local time, following the conclusion of the second semi final between North and Cloud9. The time was set with a one hour interval, from the second semi final concluding to the start of the grand final.

"Following the first semi final, in which Immortals won against CLG, the team was informed that the grand final would be scheduled to start one hour after the second semi final had concluded, as a part of the accelerated scheduled which the entire tournament has been running on, communicated to all attending teams ahead of time.

"During the second semi final, Immortals was once more informed about the start time of the grand final, as this match was nearing its end. Once the semi final concluded, Immortals were informed that they should now setup on stage for the final. At 3:05PM, Immortals had only two of its players present and ready.

"Immortals was informed that if they were not ready by 3:45PM - 15 minutes after scheduled start time - then they would forfeit the first map, in accordance with our rulebook.

"Immortals were not ready by 3:45PM and as a result forfeited the first map against North. Immortals were given an additional 15 minutes to be ready, otherwise they were subject to forfeit the entire match, as per our rulebook. Per 3:56PM the match was live.

"Thanks for the audience on site in Montreal and viewers at home for tuning in for another DreamHack ASTRO Open event, we continue in Denver on October 20-22. For more information about our Denver event go here."

In a Facebook post, Immortals member Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles blamed fatigued for the incident and stated that his team's players are jet lagged after travelling from Malmö earlier in this week, which made him, Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe sleep through their alarm clocks after deciding to take a 30-minute nap in between matches.

The Immortals players should fucking clean their act up. This is their job, they should fucking respect it. This fucked over Steel and Boltz, their org, the event, the crowd, even North seemed kinda disappointed to only play a single map in the final. I feel bad for Noah Whinston, shit like this is embarrassing for him and yet it's not his fault. Furthermore, the blatant fucking excuses from the players, which don't add up just piss me off as well. These guys could be so good, yet they do shit like this. Steel and Boltz are trapped in a fucking prison with these 3. Feelsbadman for them. Steel and Boltz, you deserve better.

Not defending him, because he should know this, but I will kill you is much more stronger outside Brazil than inside. Here, when you pissed off with someone, sometimes you say that you will kill him, but with the meaning of like, teach you something, not literally this. Once kng probably don't know english, he tried to only translate something that is not that heavy here, there is why he done it. Again, not defending, he should know. But FNS should not make this stupid jokes, talking about things he don't know.

Just because you say you're not defending doesn't mean it's true. It sounds exactly like you're trying to excuse his poor judgement of sports as and decency as a human. You can fight with me all you want it's better off to just save it, sounds like you're defending him pretty heavily

"I will kill you" always has a heavy meaning here. Even if it is not literal, it is used as a physical threat. Let's just be honest and accomplish that KNG is a retard with temper issues. Btw, saying that you are not defending someone before actually defending them is useless. The truth is: FNS believed in a bad source that said IMT's players were drunk. He made a joke - to mock himself and not IMT's players - based on that. KNG got pissed because he probly thought the intent of FNS's joke was to say they were drunk and made a stupid threat. FNS wasn't lieing, he just didn't think hes source was wrong before KNG stated so (which he could have done without threatening FNS).

2017-09-13 17:31
Saying "I kill you" is a physical fucking threat, and in that case actually a death threat. If you dish out those because of a game or a job, regardless, actually anything, you shouldn't be doing what you are doing. It's literally retarded.

The rule book only states about the late penalty for players. But it did not state about the legality of changing the schedule in a short period of time. A mutual agreement (written) must be visible if there's any modifications (time,etc.) done to the original schedule.

Hence, the rule book governs the original agreement and any party breaches the original agreement, the rule book becomes invalid. A new contract must be signed before the rule book becomes applicable once again.

DreamHack = Good fun LAN environment, great stream 80-90% of the time. ESL = Says they are Industry leaders, yet their streams go offline, lag and/or is such a poor quality, you would think we are still in 2014 sometimes - 50% of the time. Gr8, something so easy made so incredibly difficult. PGL = ... Lets not even talk about this company lol ELEAGUE = Better than everyone. ESG = You would think the same employees from ESL is working on this too. Conclusion: Mad because some kids got forced to forfeit a map due to being irresponsible af.

Perhaps steel and boltz didn't go back to the hotel to rest? Maybe they went to a restaurant and had something to eat or watched demos or something. So they didn't have time to go babysit three adults.

They were informed when it would start in relation to the last semi final and didn't get a specific time but its still their fault that they didn't get ready in time. They were told that the grand final would start one hour after the end of the last semi final.

Stop acting silly. They were informed that the game would start 1h after the second semifinal. After receiving this information, they went to sleep. If they assume the second semifinal to go three maps and all of them long OT and set their alarms after this assumption then it is their fault. A professional player (assuming one would sleep before a big match) would set the alarm assuming a short match, then wake up, check the results, if game is going long, sleep some more.

It seems like none of those players were partying on the night before, and fns already said that he was joking (lol). But nevertheless, Zakk (coach) told that some of these three need help to fulfill commitments (in this case, to wake up on the right time) and he is very sick, so was unable to help them out. In any case they're responsible for their lack of responsability, I hope they learn with this and become more responsables, they are very talented kids and would be a shame to see the scenario without them.

Good decision by DreamHack...we wanted professionalism in eSports, well...there you have it. All you guys (including seized on Nix0n's twitter) thinking that it's not such a big deal being late 10-20-50 mins for a match should just imagine football match being late, or any other sport. If it was my team I would fire them straight-away. #supportfordh :)

usually football matches like you used in your example of "professionalism" dont have volatile schedules that get accelerated by over an hour earlier, but I guess its not convenient to mention this for the case of your argument.

I think he used the wrong comparison, nevertheless they were informed of the reschedule ahead of time. The whole tournament was using an accelerated timing schedule so it shouldn't be new to them plus the fact that boltz and steel were ready and the 3 weren't. Even their coach was upfront of the incident. twitter.com/IMTzakk/status/9069917960514..
2017-09-11 01:18
LOL. I am pretty sure they just didnt move the match and didn't inform the team. Or maybe you want to tell me that they had something better to do then show up for the match? How did it not happen to team North? Think about some other stuff...Rules are rules, I don't even know why are people discussing something like this.
2017-09-11 01:46
2 replies
I definitly agree with you about professionalism, I just found the example to be misleading for this specific situation. It obviously didnt happen to team North cause they played the said the semi-final and was already setup on stage when they finished their game. That is in no way an excuse, team immortals should definitely have been more alert about the format and ready like everybody else would had been. And they did get punished. I just wrote in this manner cause there seems to be alot of people reading who are unaware about the circumstances surrounding this situation and flaming the players excessively. again this is not excusing them, just making the context clear.

Lul. It was very clearly communicated BEFORE the tournament that it will be like that - fast finish of previous match results in a pull of the following. IMHO it was immortals who were not prepared or whatever reason is behind. Nevertheless, they knew that this could be a possibility and should have been there. The fact they didn't just shows that something is wrong. I wouldn't conclude they don't take it serious blah blah but would say something needs to be addressed properly. Only downside is for the fans who wanted to see a good grand final. GG north.

Even tho IMT deserved it, I feel sorry for the fans on stage and the sponsors. If i had the option as an organizer, I would have let the finals go on. Or, at least, I'd have asked for North's players to decide whether they wanted the first map "free" victory or if they wanted to play all maps.
