With all the rumors and talk that has been going on for couple of hours National ESL Head Admins decided that the best thing to would be to come out and make an official statement, as where does TSM stand, and what kind of action will be taken.

"We would like to state that TSM at the moment is not disqualified from any NESL or ESL event in the future. After not playing their match tonight, TSM will receive 1 Major Penalty which will leave them with 8 more Minor Penalties, before any other action can take place. We would also like to state that the TSM and other teams have agreed to those rules before accepting the invitation to the National ESL Pro Series. All the teams had the opportunity to voice their concerns towards the rules at the beginning on of the season as well. We hope that this statement will cut all the speculation that is happening at the moment."
