The Opposing team for my teams match RSG Team Rowdy Snakes Gamers sent themselves as victorious when no match occured. They then went offline and ignored us.
The game was scheduled to start at 8 cst. The game was not set up by 8 cst, therefore a 15 minute grace period was awarded to the opposing team. We began champion select before 8:15 cst. The champion select was going swimmingly until the last pick, when out of the blue, the opposition ended the game. The game ended after 8:15, before champion selection was completed. Therefore, the enemy team, swag, forfeited the game.
After waiting for the opposing team to assemble at the 9:00 est agreed starting time, the 15 minute grace period went into effect, at 9:15 they started champion select, which they proceeded to dodge several minutes in. The time then was past 9:20, at which time the team in question forefeit, in this situation the game lobby was 5 of Team RSG, and an insufficient number in opposition, which according to rules no matter how many they have after the 15 minute grace period, the only thing that can allow a remake would be a DC after champion select by means of client crash or computer failure,according to the rules, neither of which apply to this situation as the opposing team dodged during mid champion select.
My client froze which had a black screen thus I had to restart and it stated on rules if a game started and 3 minutes within any disconnectd/client crashes it may be restarted.
Sj408 The issue with what you just said is "if a game started" we had not even reached the champion loading screen yet and as a result the 3 minute rule does not come into play we also have evidence of SJ408 leaving during champion select not during the loading screen.
15 minute grace period does not mean 24 hours and 15 minutes. You all missed the agreed time, not us. We dont have to compensate for your inability to comply with the rules dictated by the tournament administration. We will advance to the next round.
I think it's pretty clear that RSG has no interest in actually playing League of Legends. They want to knock us out on some made up technicality, and I guarantee they will try this on every team they go against. Is this a League of Legends tournament or a competition of who can manipulate rules to try and disqualify their opponent? Not sure why their team signed up if they're too afraid to play a match.
Droskis I do not appreciate your vulgarity targeting us, we were on at the accepted time, ready to play, and win, you guys made this complicated not us. Compare it to a team arriving at the field an hour early, being prepared and warmed up, to your team, showing up 15 minutes late, and during warm ups, stopping the whole thing from happening. Who does it look like wants to play the game. I rest my case.
You all are manipulating rules trying to reschedule the time, which by the way we have to agree to, to a time that is outside 10 hours past the agreed time. If you actually cared about the game and tournament you would know that the time has already passed that the rescheduled game could have been played. Next time, if you actually care about the given tournament, you arrive at the agreed time ready to play.
I'm not using any vulgarity. I apologize one of our players was a little late, but as we've both agreed upon it was well within the grace period. Our team was clearly on and ready to play by the accepted time. Your team all logged off and ignored us once the server issue occurred, so if anything you would have forfeited. However, we don't want that. We want to play a match and let the winner move on.
We all logged off? Is that true? and a server error occurred? now you are really digging yourself into a huge hole, you first of all said your player's computer froze, now you are not only lying but changing your story all together. We were ready from 7:00pm cst to 8:20 cst. And your player logged in way too late, and delayed the game past the accepted start time, and the additional grace period. do NOT try to put this on us. You all are at fault. We have screen shots.
This is not about what you "want" i know you guys want to have everything your way and have everyone change to accomodate you. But that is not how it works. There are rules set in place.
I should not have said you all logged off, I apologize. I don't know that for sure, but I do know you refused to play us after the server error.
Our player did not "log in way too late", we've agreed that that was within the grace period, so that is outright wrong.
There was a server error were he could not see anything in his client, which is exactly what my teammate told you. We are not lying or changing the story.
Your screen shots are very nice looking, but seeing as I was present at the match and know what happened, have no need to see any of them.
If your player couldnt see anything, and yet he picked his champion, and after he dodged your team said same picks and bans, now tell me how does your screen black out and yet you select your champion, the right champion, and lock in? A server error would mean that we all would be affected, as we all are connected to the same server? correct? For whatever reason, he dodged, before the game started, further delaying the game and your team was not ready. There is nothing else to it.
You guys clearly forced a dodge so that the player who had just logged on could adjust to the new mastery system (a possiblity, speculation perhaps), or for whatever reason. The point is you delayed the game way beyond the accepted time, and on top of that past the grace period. Even after he got online during the grace period we said start the game, you all were saying we are discussing things, please wait. You clearly were trying to continually delay the game further and further, and frankly that is against the rules.
Server errors do not necessarily affect everyone in the same way, so, incorrect.
I believe that the black screen occurred after he tried changing his masteries, which was after he picked his champion. I'm not entirely sure when/how it happened so don't quote that as fact.
Locking in happens automatically after a set time, so that's a pretty silly question to ask.
Hypothetical question, if it was a server error (since I gather that you believe we purposefully dodged to gain some sort of advantage) that caused the game to not start and not our team's fault would that warrant a forfeit still?
The fact is that he dodged during champion selection, not during loading. But it was your teams fault, your player dodged, not ours, the game didnt start.
I understand that you blame us, but if it was determined (somehow) to be a server error and our team wasn't at fault, do you believe a rematch would be in order?
There is no proof that the server crashed. We have concrete evidence you guys dont. You cant base a case around your word. You are basically spreading a rumor, no evidence just false information.
No i don't believe a rematch would be in order. Also one of your players is impersonating an admin in telling me that an admin gave orders without evidence.
I tried to remake and your leader of your team instantly logged off and told us that since there was a glitch that caused sj408 to leave champ selection that we forfeit that is completely against the rules you can remake and we had started the game before the grace period your team leader was extremely uncooperative for some reason it was at 8:20 central time that i tried to remake the game and your team leader logged off completely thus making it so we couldnt remake the game i took a ss of us after we remade the game we were all in there and he was offline.
