WithN9 advancing into the top four through the first qualifier, we spoke toJustin [B]'xMusiCa'[/B] Yuen regarding Dota2Replay's decision to award them the win over Fire.In regards to these recent events, we would firstly like to state that Team Fire is a team with good skills and teamwork and definitely capable of achieving top levels of play.In the World itself, when you do something wrong and you get caught, you'll definitely get punished for it. Whether it was intentional or not, this is reality. And for the E-sports world to grow further and more successfully, this sort of decisions have to be made to tell the community that this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated by sponsors, organisers and us as professionals.Bug exploits is the highest form of cheating in the E-sports world. And realistically speaking, we as adults don't need to be told by others whats right and whats wrong.We do not care about winning or losing, we're just trying to see that rules are being enforced when such things actually occur.The Admins decisions was made after hearing from both parties, reviewing the game and alot of discussion. And in my opinion, this decision will help turn Dota2 into a more professional E-sports community. We should accept the admins decision with this matter and move on.To sign-up for the second qualifier, interested teams can put in an application here A few teams have been banned from the second qualifier namely Evil Genuises, Dino's Happy House, Team Energy NRG and zNation for turning up late for their matches which resulted in a disqualification.
