StarLadder adjusts roster rules ahead of Berlin Major *

18-7-2019 16:06

StarLadder has announced a small adjustment to the roster rules in place for the Major circuit.

The new rule, which came into effect on Wednesday prior to the start of the Minors, allows a registered coach to replace a player on the roster even if it is not an emergency case, such as illness or a denied visa.

In an email sent out by StarLadder and obtained by HLTV.org, the Kiev-based company admitted that the emergency transfer rule "created a lot of chaos" and was "unnecessary and unhealthy".

zews will be allowed to play for MIBR at the Major with the new rule

The roster change will be permanent and the player "will not be able to get back on the roster", StarLadder added.

One of the teams that could benefit from this change is MIBR. The Brazilian team recently benched Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David after he expressed his desire to take up a new challenge, and doubts persisted over coach Wilton "⁠zews⁠" Prado's eligibility as a roster change could not be considered an emergency case.

The Brazilian coach stood in for MIBR at BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles and will also be in the server at IEM Chicago, kicking off in just a few hours.

UPDATE: Contacted by HLTV.org, a StarLadder official clarified that Lazarus were given the option to move coach Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner to a starting lineup position before the Americas Minor. Still, the North American team, who had roster issues with two of their players, would not have been able to attend the event as they were not allowed to make an emergency transfer to replace the second player because the roster lock was already in place by then.

Great!

2019-07-20 07:15

you're trying to defend our country by sending everyone else to hell. What's your problem? You are sounding llike all the other fuckers that keep disrespecting us for ages. How can we be respected when people like you can't notice that like BIG, MIBR is not at a good level? You talk about majors, but the last time we won a major was a LONG time ago. TODAY, we have to accept NA is better. But TOMORROW, this can change

2019-07-21 00:09

I don't have problems. I'm just tired to have to read other country being arrogant and disrespect us. So, I will do the same. For a long time o tried to be respectful, but the answers were always in the same way. And, yes, now Liquid is the best team, but I will not let people from other countries disrespect our teams

2019-07-21 00:14

Yeah, it's normal to get tired of all this bullshit when they keep doing it for a long time. I just ask for you not to be "gratuito" to someone who didn't even disrespect you. Only if they are germans. You can send germans to hell, please.

2019-07-21 00:21

Yeah, thinking better now, I was disrespectful with the wrong person. I admit that in that case, I was wrong. Appreciate your advice

2019-07-21 00:27

Sorry for the disrespectful words man. I was angry and said bad words for you, that didn't say nothing disrespect to me. Peace

lol your caption mo even don't get qualified for a single major hahahaha idiot Swedish pussy

2019-07-19 11:24

+1 LUCAS1 shouldn't even be allowed to play in the major since LG is in the minor. Same thing happened with NiP and Poploski. BR cries until they let them do whatever.

are u a dumb dumb? they got him before roster lock and he didnt play the minor LMAO

+1 He should never be allowed to play this

2019-07-18 16:19

By the time they got Lucas, it was said that the rules was that a player that played the minor, which is happening now, couldn't play for a different team. Lucas came before that, obviously, and also, before the roster lock. These changes about the coach being able to play happened probably because of mibr, but tbh the rule is dumb from the beggining. The roster lock is acceptable and all but why the fuck the coach can't play.

2019-07-18 16:11

cry me a river muhammad

honestly, this is fucking unprofessional and feels kind of rigged. If e.g. mouz fails to qualify will they also change the rules so that they can still get in? What's the point of rules if they can be changed when the tournament has already started and the roster lock deadline past?

Yeah, because the old rule was so fair, right? 4 players not being able to play the major because the 5th one quit the team... And how the hell any team would benefit from getting their f'ing coach to play for them? You're the one crying here, my friend, so just chill and let them play the god damn tournament that they achieved themselves

2019-07-18 16:17

Lucas should never be allowed to play because LG is in the minor

has he played for LG in the minor?

I can't tell if you are joking or retarded

2019-07-18 16:57

I'm asking you, what's the answer? Has he played for them in the minor or not?

No because he joined mibr before it even started, he played with mibr in Blast LA, but he played the qualifier with LG

2019-07-18 17:13

LG failed to qualify, so there's no problem for him to join another team.

He played the minor qualifier which would exclude him from playing for another team in this major yes.

2019-07-18 17:14

LG failed to qualify, they only got the spot due to another team withdrawing, so according to the rules he is allowed.

2019-07-18 17:23

Qualifiers does not count, it never had.

In the new rule, if you a play qualifier, but don't qualify, you're eligible to play for other teams. When the roster lock was on, LG were not in the minor. Only after some weeks Lazarus forfeited the spot, thus making LG submit a new roster containing at least the core of that one.

2019-07-18 17:57

Cold offered to play until after the Major? It was the team that put themselves in this position

2019-07-18 17:08

As draken said in his interview, no point in playing with a dead team.

2019-07-19 08:39

Coldzera said he'd play until after the major, MiBR said no. The rule had to be changed specifically for MiBR due to their own problems

2019-07-19 03:49

2019-07-18 16:43

good

ez 4 zews

Nice MIBR.zews

BRAZILLIAN POWER HERE FDPS!!! SUCK MY EGGS NA AND EU

Do you think this will change anything? MIBR won't get out of groups with a coach.

Ur probably right but at least they try! It would suck if they didnt have a chance

Zews carry thx god he will play

retarded decision to be honest...i know that this rule was stupid but changing it just bcs of 1 team is even more retarded

13 replies

2 teams though Mibr and hr

no, only 1 team...hr would/will play most likely with deadfox and they were completely fine with it. this rule is only for mibr. again, retarded decision

Dunno, if HR knew this before roster lock, they could have used this

yes they knew that...oskar even said it while streaming

So you just said it was a stupid rule. But you don't like it cause it benefits mibr..... a team you probably dislike...hmmm we call people like you butthurt.

rules should be the same, should be fair for all teams and equal to all teams. this rule change favor just 1 team...yea, your favourite one ofc. that rule should be changed, i agree with it but AFTER major. not after roster locks and during minor to favor just 1 freaking team. i couldnt care less if its mibr or if it would be astralis. im not mibrs hater at all. all what i am saying is that this is made for 1 team which is retarded

2019-07-18 16:22

"I don't care" said the guy complaining about it in the comments haahahah

2019-07-18 18:39

where did i say that i dont care about it? i only said that i couldnt care less that its mibr. learn to read atleast

2019-07-18 19:02

"I couldn't care less" or "I don't care" are pretty much the same thing. so mad butthurt

2019-07-18 19:08

can we think something like: zews killing zeus with zeus or zeus killing zews with zeus? POGGERS

changing rules just for mibr, why

ESL also changed rules for SK back in EPL S7 I think. What is it with Fallen and co. approaching organization to change rules for them??

let plopski play for nip , golden rip

Why is it two "also" lol "BLAST Pro Series Los Angeles and will also also be in the server at IEM Chicago"

Do we know all of the teams for the major yet ? Can I have them please ?

2019-07-18 16:14

why lol. We don’t need team with coach player on major. -slot for some good team , great!

sad i wanted to see cold playing in the major

I mean... Cold leaving your roster should be considered an emergency jus’ sayin’

Don't think this would have affected Lazarus since they had two players who refused to play for the team that qualified. However, wouldn't this affect C9 losing their spot?

Even still, you need to maintain the 3-Core between majors to retain your spot. The only player still on C9 from last major is Autimatic

How convenient!

Faze can kick neo and register coldzera as a coach so he can play Is that how it works?

LMAO

That's not even a joke C9 registered Zellsis as a coach at Kato so he could play with team after roster lock Same with BIG with nex

HELLRAISERS paid off starladder to adjust this rule so they can play, it's their partner company, disgusting corruption

How do you know this ? They have to field one of Deadfox or HObbit in order to retain their spot and lmbt has joined the team after the last major so the rule can't be applied to them because they would lose the slot anyway

No Oskar already confirmed they will use DeadFox instead of lowel, so probably they paid them off big

They probably confirmed this roster before the 1st lock and haven't made it public yet

2019-07-18 16:55

No dude I'm telling you they legit paid them off

Can you prove really prove it?

Btw can u give me tweet of it? Can't find it

2019-07-18 20:44

One of the teams that could benefit from this change is MIBR why one of? this rule was basically done for mibr.

HR as well

2019-07-18 16:54

Ez for CZ-ews

why can't the teams not just change their lineup's wtf is the problem...

2019-07-18 17:41

These BS rule changes have only ever helped Brazilians. Cry is Free you cucks

This is the impact of Mibr and Fallen on CS, that Valve even has to make end time adjustments to major rule set so that Fallen can play in Major. OMG

2019-07-18 18:00

brazilians and bending the rules name a more iconic duo

2019-07-18 18:52

despite the MIBR situation, a good change. Coaches shouldnt have to stand in at all. better for the spirit of the competitive game to have a fifth professional rather than a coach on starting lineup.

2019-07-18 19:06

+1 also gives a shout out to the stand-in, like it was with cromen back in the day

2019-07-18 19:18

obviously it favors MIBR in this situation but there's gotta be a first time for everything to think about rule changes.

2019-07-18 19:54

So, the team decided they didn't wanna play with coldzera these few tournaments and Starladder decides to award them by letting their coach play? Luckily, the level of competition is as high as ever, so they won't make the playoffs anyway.

Lazarus :D

2019-07-18 19:59

BR event LMAO

Why is everyone complaining? Yes, this is bs but MIBR is gonna go 0-3 in Legends stage anyway so who cares?

2019-07-18 22:37

Or they gonna go 1-3 and waste spot...

2019-07-21 00:23

mibr 0-3. Easy.
