Team Dignitas gives Clanbase a Red Card
ehhh wtf?
Yesterday our Call of Duty 4 team has played in the Clanbase EuroCup XVII Winner Bracket Final against H2k-Gaming and won it with 25-23. With Sko playing on his laptop for this one which had a different GUID than the one he entered in Clanbase, a few minutes after the match, H2k player and Clanbase admin SpoX gave H2k-Gaming a default win for Sko using the wrong GUID.
Dignitas is aware that Sko should have warned the admins about his laptop having a different GUID than the one registered on Clanbase. Clanbase ignored its own rules by letting SpoX, supervisor of the COD4 Eurocup and manager of H2k handle the case. However, CB realized that this was a mistake and have just announced that the co-supervisor, Chandler, will now be reviewing the case and taking all the proof in mind, to draw a final conclusion in the near future.
Quote:
Michael 'Mick' Bradshaw:
Why we would play without SKO, ill never know and sure enough if you watched him play you'll see its the exact same playstyle and there is no way we would play vs h2k with anyone other then sko.
*Update* - The admins have decided to uphold their prehistoric and backward decision, therefore Team Dignitas withdraws from all Clanbase cups. We only hope that they review their dying system before it causes others to suffer for absolutely no reason other than a jobs worth hat.
We would also like to remind Clanbase that they owe us €1500 and several graphics cards for over 8 months! We will put all our efforts into the far superior ESL League that is actually aiding the development of professional esports rather than hindering it.
Brilliant step, fuck cb - all those supervisors are a joke!
I rly hope that more and more teams are going support this movement!
pretty fucked up move by cb though, although i can understand they want to be consequent in following their rules
CB losing dignitas participation is nothing big though, they still have plenty of big teams...
Hardly means anything, just that dignitas lose out on their cups etc
How are they showing CB a "red card"?
They're spitting their dummy out and losing out on potentially easy prized (if its all other games aswell?).
Bare in mind CB owe them that stuff, so hardly "PWN3D" them.
I'm pretty sure CB aren't losing sleep over this.
They lose out on gamevouchers, shocking.

wrong GUID = forfeit loss, especially in eurocup
regardless of whatever supervisor gave that ruling its correct... sko, if it was really him should of asked that team if he could play.
I do agree it's a bit premature, ip's could have been checked etc, but lets face it, if you see a team you lose to play with a bad guid in something like the eurocup, id file for red card that's for sure if they didn't ask :)
nevermind

it just shows that u can use the clanbase system to your own benefits...though it wasnt intended this way by spox

And also I think any issues like this need to be addressed before the game, so they can be sorted out. The problem could have been sorted if noticed at the start. The fact it was only declared after they lost just shows how immature *some* members of the team are
Just like CB matches, its possible to check players ip and confirm but they dont so why should DIG have special treatment?
BIG CONGRATS TO CB AND WELL DONE!

this.
imo if h2k wants to claim a forfait, it's their fully right to do so although it's kinda gay
The anger here should be directed at H2K's appalling sportsmanship as they have totally brought the sport into shame.
Matters like this should be restricted to being sorted out before the match begins.
I feel sorry for Dignitas, but no where near as strongly as I feel resent for the poor sportsmanship of H2K.
cant actually believe any1 sticks up for h2k in this because its possibly the saddest thing ive ever seen a team do, i can see why u support cb admins as they were upholding the rules even tho it is a retarded rule that should be altered.
It should be made the team has to complain before RUP period

I dont think i've seen ONE person stick up for H2K.
On the otherhand, people are sticking up for CB because they're only doing what their supposed to.
they tried to lame their way tro L2W aswell :) (freelancer anyone)
just when you think it couldn't get any worse, this guy shows up :'(
normal an ready up means that u accept every thing, players,server settings,...
not? corect me if i'm wrong

A rule is: If someone plays with a wrong GUID, then u've got automatically a forfeit lose.

These rules contradict each other though. It's a teams responsibility to bring a wrong GUID to light before they ready up, since readying up confirms that they are ready for the game and all the formalities have been checked and found to be correct. It shouldn't even matter if there's a wrong GUID there; if the team doesn't pick it up before they start, it's their loss if they lose the match.
That means it's purely an admin error as I don't think anyone is suggesting that it wasn't SKO playing.
I know i've said it before but POOR SPORTSMANSHIP H2K.
Secound thing, moving to ESL LOOOOL is that a joke? everyone complains about CB but if it wasnt CB most part of clans would only play pcw's and would not be able to practice for lans and cups. So dont blame CB if you dont have any new sugestion... GL H2K and Good job CB you made the correct move.

They conflicted the match, not CB! If H2K were decent guys they'd have swallowed DEFEAT like men, not sissy lil girls.
They may have benefitted from this event to progress on CB, BUT! this imo will tarnish any good they do in the future.
you must've played with vanho the CB conflict hero
nothing more to say ..
how can you say they dont lame? look at davys post and the fact tat they have no sportsmanship at all, gimps tbh
Lame how they didnt bring it up before the game started yet lost and look for a get out of jail free card.
H2K @ lamers.
