The Fnatic.LoL team have been disqualified from the first ESL Major Series qualifier.Last night was the first qualifier for the ESL Major Series. SK Gaming have qualified automatically after winning last season’s tournament.
fnatic were participating and were looking strong as they won their first match and then won their Semi Final. However after they won their Semi Final they were disqualified by the ESL.
The ESL comment was:
As this was the EU qualifier which Fnatic were playing in, they were disqualified for using 3 German players. They were using 3 German players as they were missing usual player
Enrique Javier 'xPeke' Cedeño Martinez. If xPeke had been playing then they would have been classed as an EU team.
While ESL were right to enforce the rule, i'd have to beg the question why they wasted the time to only enforce it after 2 matches? Especially as the team was confirmed at sign-up.

"Germany has an own qualifier.
fnatic MSI played with 3 players from Germany, which is counted as German line-up.
fnatic MSI is disqualified."

"After winning the semi-final, we were then disqualified from the game before for using 3 German players as Peke couldn't make it. So we used FnaticMSI Fingers as our 5th and admin decided to disqualify us after the game, while we were in the following game. Very disappointing to see such actions from ESL and we hope to come to a solution ASAP, since our time was severely wasted."

a) Admins do not have crystal balls. You cannot disqualify a team before they have broken the rules.
b) Fnatic had a bye in the first round, their "2nd" match was actually their 1st match
c) They were accepted at sign up because they could have used an eligible line up
The line-up was shown to have MagicFingers playing from the start according to what i have read.
if their opponents in their first match did not report the problem, it would not have been acted upon
As someone who is well positioned to see events within the lol scene it is sometimes useful to add depth to a news item rather than merely re-producing copy for people to read in several places ;)
All in all, not the worst opinion I've seen on this website. :)
