This week we find another rule being put to the test, this time it is Team Dignitas'sCrac. '[B]ComeWithMe[/B]' Alexandru who was streaming his matches without permission.Available in the Rules of D2Brawl is the rule which is now inforced by the admins:Apart from the Dota2Replays Official Live Streams, all livestreams are banned. This means any player streaming their games will have him and his team disqualified from the event with a possibility of the referees to decide further penalties.With this rule being broken, Dignitas have been Disqualified from the competition. This meant that last weeks finalist[B]Fire[/B] played off against PowerNets new team[B]What is Dusa Saying?[/B] for an all american final.Thomas 'Nuraun' Vejling, head admin of The Brawl has given joinDOTA this statement:We contacted ComeWithMe 2 hours before the incident, asking him to shut down his stream, as he was also streaming at that current moment. He did, and we had a quick chat about the rule, but it was crystal clear that we did not allow streaming of your own games. At the same time, as portrayed in the video on his twitch account, he tells his viewers that he will be back when the next game will start. Then we're at 23.45 CET where I find his stream online and disqualify Team Dignitas from the tournament. This certainly wasn't the outcome we wanted, but we clearly stated the rules and we are perfectly sure that ComeWithMe knew that his stream was running even though he was not allowed to. With this, as well as last weekends incident, we hope that it will change the way players and tournaments interact and make the whole sport professional. Dignitas is welcome to play in our next qualifier should they want to sign up.Crac. '[B]ComeWithMe[/B]' Alexandru when contact for comment stated:The statement will be on the Dignitas WebsiteJoinDOTA will update you when the statement as been made. In the meantime for those who were unable to keep up to date live with the grid, here is the progression for this week.
