Well it was really easy to predict yet no one fixed it, you need to “wait” to do something about it.

Maybe it was very likely to happen but it was by no means a fact. Like CanFo already pointed out, they may have just played their game with a merc; there is no way of knowing until proven otherwise.

their leader quitted the team?

In which case they could’ve asked an admin to promote another member of their team (providing there were no other leaders).

+ in the match page it is clearly shown they had no interest in playing the match, not commenting on the match page, or agreeing to their friend request to discuss it.

This happens all the time, even on match pages where the match IS eventually played.

so I guess everyone will have only 6 officials instead of 7?

That depends entirely on the teams themselves :)

div 6 is srs bsns

Quoted from Leif

If that team doesnt have interest in playing they will eventually drop or get removed from the season so any results they have got doesnt count and their opponents wont get those 6 points (unless they play the whole season, but then this discussion wont make sense anyway) so what is this thread about?

that’s what I wanted to hear and yet no one is commenting something useful.

If only there was a Rules page here on the ETF2L site that made it perfectly clear what happens in these situations, if only it was in the Season 16 Rules page under section 1.6 and 1.7. If only it was there so people could read them and not have to bother with retarded discussions in retarded threads.

Damn you ETF2L!

Quoted from emb

When a team drops after playing some matches, the unplayed matches do not result in “free points” to the other team – all matches involving the dropped team are invalidated, and neither existing nor potential points are of any value.

That said, it is not ETF2L’s responsibility to interview every team on a regular basis to determine whether they plan to continue playing. ETF2L’s responsibility is to remove teams after they’ve asked to be removed, or crossed a certain treshold.

If you are genuinely interested in whether your next two opponents will actually show up for your matches, you should probably add them on Steam and ask them yourself. If they’re having roster problems and are planning to drop, you can even ask them to contact admins so you could receive another opponent from the waiting list!

You’d be surprised how much simple communication can do.

That said, if someone genuinely believes that ETF2L should actively monitor and stay in touch with all 300+ participating teams, they are welcome to apply as league admins to carry out the task.

as mentioned earlier, in the match page the enemy team have complained about the other team not responding to the friends request. so I don’t think communication would help in that situation.

But so what, if they drop then you also get the same 6 points and then have them removed…what is the point of this thread?

It doesn’t have one does it? You should have read the rules of the competition you’re entering, then you would have known that it matters not one jot if a team gets kicked from the season or drops. All results nullified, ignored and then forgotten.

pls stahp noaw, fank uoo.
