Virtus.Pro, the Russian powerhouse and one of the world's best DotA teams, got disqualified for playing their first match against Check Six with two players who did not belong to their official roster. As this would be not enough, there is another proof by IP that they also played their second match against Check Six with a player who did not belong to their official lineup.
The decision of the administration was checked and is supported by the new council of professionals.
This disqualification with also affect the upcoming Prime Defending League: Virtus.Pro is banned from the first season as they already were warned before the MYM Prime Defending #10 started.
The second piece of news is that team Meet Your Makers lost their match against Kingsurf in the looser bracket. So another high potential for the title is out before the quarter finals are played.
The replay of Meet Your Makers loss against Kingsurf can be found here.

But in my opinion it was the right choice since rules are there for a reason and should apply to everyone.
I would let SK.Loda be replaced by T_T|Tapper any time and play the game
and i would surely let man1ak play than vigoss
sad rules.
You base on that the player that replace the other one is worse than the original player, and whom is to decide that? I guess that if you faced a random team and some topplayer replaced someone there you wouldn't think that it was okey :P
I think the decision to kick VP out of the tournament was the right choise, sad, but right. Though to not let them play in Pride league was a misstake :
but in fact, VP did wrongly. maybe they dont have enough player at that time . . but . . .
whatever
Good luck on your next match SK.Dota . Strong teams have been eliminated but other strong team are still at the horizon. It only gets harder from here on.
about VP: they make a wrong descision, but being disqualified from PDL... They're trying to kick all best (exactly best) teams?
