*UPDATE* - The Multiplay Admin team have forbidden Dignitas to play with Pansy, on the basis that she was not signed up as a player for Team Dignitas at the start of the event. They will now have to play 4v5.
Further evidence has come to light about Dignitas' depleted lineup against Aire gaming. The 12-12 scoreline was greeted with disbelief here at i40, until it came out that Dignitas were not playing with 5 players. The reasons for this remained unclear, until a recent announcement by the side telling us that Mark "Phantasy" Pinney has left the event. We understand that the cause of his departure is family problems.
Instead of phantasy, Dignitas have drafted in Lauren "Pansy"Scott, formerly of Team Infused female. This means Dignitas now have just 3 of their core lineup, and this will definitely be a blow to their confidence. The only good news that comes from this is that it has thrown the CoD4 tournament wide open. Dignitas are no longer as formidable as they were coming into this event, bolstering the confidence of the other teams vying for the top spot.
The Team Dignitas insomnia40 CoD4 squad is therefore as follows:
Chris "blackmane" Kinnair
Robin "robyYE" Swaters

Peeps played a lot of money to get there and they shouldn't go about changing the rules, no matter the team.
Its unlucky for dig, but rest of teams shouldn't be 'cheated'.
Yes rules are rules, but sometimes admins should use common sense
I do agree that commonsense would say that they shud be allowed a merc.
But can understand why the admins have done what they did.
where is it saying they cant use another player because i dont see it
i was shown them the last time i went. specifically remember seeing it.

Ye that was my pc, fucking lost all my music and other shit and I had to play 1 game on one of the computer stalls that were there selling their products so i had no sound/comms. The tech team weren't allowed to tell me to reformat and just laughed when they saw my comptuer didnt recognise win32 lol :/
They did give me a free pass to i35 after much complaning by reko but I didnt go anyway :P
