Statement From Carmac Regardring the Day Two Mis-hap

A referee has made a terrible mistake. We cannot undo that - an undeserving player is in a situation which should not have happened.



Gatored got wrongly seeded into the tournament bracket as the #1 seed instead of DRG who received the #2 player's seed in the bracket. As a result, the two players were placed in the wrong part of the bracket and TT1 played a player he was not supposed to. Unfortunately the error was discovered during the match and not before. The result cannot stand.



I deeply regret that such a mistake happened at such a time, but we cannot undo it. We canceled the match and fixed the bracket layout. Nothing else could be done.



All I can do right now on my behalf and on behalf of the referee is apologise to the players involved in the match, their teams and the fans that followed the match. This should not have happened and I will do everything for this to never happen again.



I regret this has happened and I apologise.



Michał "Carmac" Blicharz

P.S. TT1 will receive prize money for placing top 4 regardless of his result in the replayed quarterfinal.

DRG wins 3-0 as well, surprisingly close showing from KiLLeR. Turns out he is pretty good.FD wins his series 3-0 over Gatored, then gives an interview saying he is worried about finals because his ZvZ is very bad. Then he immediately gets on his PC and starts playing League of Legends.I guess Mr.Bitter says that we'll be on in about 30 mins from now?Carmac says the semis will be on as soon as the LoL match on right now is over, whee.Well, that's it for quarter-finals. Now to wait and see when they're gonna show the semi-finals... Schedule says 3:00, but they've changed times without prompting more than once this tournament. Also, Carmac got his first autograph request of the tournament, sitting next to TSL_Killer!SC2 is on the small-stage for now, I guess we don't get back on the main stage until the semi-finals. On a side note, it was cute to see some LOL pros watching the SC2 match instead of the LOL match!Caught up with Gatored and caught a quick interview! Check it in the miscellaneous section of this post.Stole someone's LAN cable because there aren't any more connections in the press room. Gatored beat top 3-0 while I was wasting time looking for internet -_-
