ESL have announced that Natus Vincere will face a prize money deduction of thirteen percent.During the Counter-Strike semi-final of the IEM V World Championship Finals between Natus Vincere and mTw , which saw current world champions come out on top, two infringements took place, both committed by the Ukrainian side. These two rule violations have resulted in a 13% deduction in Natus Vincere 's prize money.
The punishment comes after the side left the stage without permission from ESL officials and when they called a timeout simply to go to the toilet. The first violation earned the side three minor penalty points and a 3% prize money deduction, whereas the second earned them one major penalty point and a further 10% deduction.
This means, depending on how tomorrows final finishes, Natus Vincere will have either have $4,550 shaved of a first place prize of £35,000 or $2,210 of a second place prize of £17,000.
The final between Natus Vincere and Frag eXecutors will take place tomorrow at 14:55 CET, meanwhile the third place match between SK Gaming and mTw will be played before at 12:35 CET.

bow to The Man, and let him fuck you in the ass, hard.
and by the way. who cares. navi is not new. the rules are not new. and the pricemoney cut is not much.
progaming was just as good if not better without those few corporations throwing a few pennies at players. except now they have to jump through hoops to earn their lunch money, like good obedient dogs.
i bet you suck off your employer real good.
I bet there are quite stupid rules out there, but these are not one of them. It is a professional organization that holds events for professional players. Might as well act like ones.
I mean, you go to an exam and you time your shit (no pun intended). But no, a professional fails to do this and it's booo-hooo all over the internet. Anyhow, Na'Vi is one of my favorite teams out there.
