Sorry to hear.

Was Stuve banned from the qualifier or the entire tournament? I hope in the spirit of great competition he is around. Many people enjoy watching his high iq plays.

Thanks

I will unlock the stuve thread please feel free to take your question there.

Adding this one because people keep theorising etc.

3) Vonivan warned by referee for writing in sandbags in base.

During his quarter final first game VonIvan wrote a message in sandbags in base with a full volksgrenadier squad. This could be interpreted as noncompetitive behaviour, and vonivan was reminded of this by a referee following the game - he apologised at the time.

All of the following decisions were taken due to the recent GCS2 Qualification Tournament 2: Overlord.



1) Taking too much time between games.

Three players were warned about taking too much time in between games. These warnings will carry forward into future tournaments, please be mindful of the rules thank you.



2) Stuve forfeit/ DQ from GCS2 - after refusing to play third-place playoff vs. Kimbo

Background and prior context:

Second round: there was confusion over the Crossing-in-the-Woods map version, this was at all not Stuve's fault but may have 'set the mood' for later issues.

Quarter final: Stuve warned for being 21 minutes late for game 1. Stuve then threatened to not play vs. VonIvan unless it was confirmed he would not receive any victory point penalties. He was informed he would only receive a warning (there may have been communication between players that caused the original confusion).

Third-place playoff: Upon hearing that the third place play off was not being live casted, but instead would be casted from replay by Tightrope - Stuve refused to play despite repeated requests. This is despite having earlier agreed to a time (he then chose to play PUBG instead).

Decision:

There have been complaints from top benefactors and players that Stuve's behaviour was damaging and disrespectful to the project that the community has pledged a lot of money and effort in creating. Based on this and the opinion of the referees and organisers Stuve has hereby forfeit any further right to play in GCS2 and has been formally disqualified as a natural extension of his own actions.

"LAN - Relic, you old sheep! Not only did you gut LAN in the post-GameSpy versions of Dawn of War 1 and split Company of Heroes 1 into two versions, but you also gave the middle finger to the only way one can play multiplayer when the official servers go down! Sure, nobody expects Steamworks to croak in the foreseeable future, but is future-proofing so much to ask?"

As someone that's currently trying to run an 8 man live tournament based on this game, I agree entirely.

The lack of LAN is shocking, we have to basically have a live event where players still have internet lag...

SiphonX Might be my favorite person on COH2.org because these statistics he keeps pumping out are magnificent.
